How Would Breast Implants Look As I Age?

Question

I want to enhance my breasts but I'm very concerned about getting them because I want to know how my breasts are going to look when I'm old, like 80 or 70 years old?
Right know I'm 20 but I'm thinking in my future. Please respond to my question? Thanks.

It's a great question and everybody responds differently to breast implants. Breast implants add some weight to the breasts, so the progression of sagging will be slightly more rapid. However, it's important to remember that implants that are sized appropriately, using measurements and your soft tissue characteristics, do the best job of maintaining the longevity of your breasts. This helps give you the longest lasting results. When considering breast augmentation make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon who will take the time to answer all of your questions and explain all of your options, so that you can decide if breast augmentation is right for you.

It is impossible to predict the shape and appearance of your breasts 50-60 years from now. You could look fine or develop a "snoopy deformity" or "rock in the sock" depending on several factors.

Sanjay Grover, MD, FACS · Answer

It is difficult for anyone to tell you exactly what you will look like 60 years from now.  There are many factors that will help determine how your breasts will mature over time, whether you have implants or not.  Some of these factors can include: genetics, smoking status, sun exposure history, weight gain/loss, pregnancy/lactation, size of implant, position of implant etc.

Unfortunately, over time, the results of breast augmentation will change. Gravity, aging, pregnancy, weight loss/gain, genetics are all possibilities that can affect your results. As plastic surgeons, we cannot guarantee lifetime results.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

It is difficult to predict what the breasts will look like at that age from where you are now.  Overtime, most likely the breasts will sag, they may thin out, etc..
