It is possible for someone your age to get a breast augmentation. Please seek out a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person consultation. Regards,
The onset and cessation of breast development will differ from one individual to another. There may also be post pubertal changes due to menstrual cycle variation, pregnancy, weight gain and loss. Some women, continue to develop into their early 20's.The decision to undergo augmentation is a personal one as is the timing. I typically recommend that potential candidates demonstrate a stabilization of growth (at least 6 months).Another factor to consider is FDA restrictions on device usage. Silicone implants are approved for augmentation in patients 22 years or older. If this is an issue, you may choose to delay surgery.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
Hannah, The short answer is no. It could be done, but there are many concerns to be addressed. Issues such as have your breasts finished developing, why do you want this surgery, do you have the prerequisite maturity for this surgery, and how is your overall health. The only way of addressing these issues is to have a consultation with an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, to discuss your options.
Thank you for your question. It is relatively common for 18 or 19 year olds to get breast augmentation performed so you are not too young. I would caution you though on how large you wish to go. At your age I would stick with a conservative (smaller size) so that over time and with aging you don't stretch your skin out too much with large implants. Best of luck to you
Your concerns are understandable but assuming you demonstrate physical and emotional maturity, you are not necessarily too young to undergo breast augmentation surgery. In my practice, I individualize recommendations after in office evaluation of patients' history and physical, maturity levels, motivation, and evaluation of the young ladies' understanding of potential risks/complications associated with breast surgery. In other words, the decision whether or not to proceed with elective breast surgery will ultimately be a very personal decision that each unique patient should make after CAREFUL consideration of the "level of concern" with her breast appearance VERSUS the potential downsides associated with the breast surgery under consideration. Generally, best to achieve a level of physical, emotional, psychosocial, and financial “stable state” prior to considering any type of elective plastic surgery. When the time is right, careful selection of a well experienced Board-certified plastic surgeon and careful communication of your goals will be key.Best wishes.
Thank you for your question. 19 yrs old is not too young for breast implants. However, in the US, silicone breast implants are not FDA approved for patients younger than 22 yrs old. Best of luck!
As long as you have completed your development, which most women have done by age 18, the most important issue is that you are mature enough to make an informed decision regarding implants. Research this issue thoroughly, and choose a surgeon that answers all your questions regarding this procedure as well as the maintenance issues involved. Your surgeon should also be thoughtful and helpful in your decision about the proper implant that will help you achieve your goals.
Congratulations on your planned breast augmentation. Cup size is difficult to predict because different manufactures label the same cup a different size. A very rough estimate is at the 285 cc breast implants might enlarge it to a full B cup in the same style and manufacture of bra that you c...
Thank you for your question and it is unfortunate your first consultation did not go as planned. In order to achieve the results you are looking for, you will likely need to use a high profile round implant that will give you the upper pole fullness you want to achieve. You may need to choose...
Thank you for your question. A larger implant may improve the roundness and fullness of your breast. However size should be determined by a measurement of the base width of your breast. An implant with a diameter that matches the base width of your breast should be chosen. A larger impl...
