Can you have breast implants if you are underweight a little?

Thanks for your question.  Being underweight is not neccessarily a contraindication to breast augmentation surgery.  However, a plastic surgeon will need to determine whether there is enough breast tissue to cover implants.  If there is very little  tissue over the implants, there will be higher likelihood of problems like seeing the implants, rippling, etc.  

I appreciate your question.

Best for you to be at a healthy weight (within 10lbs of your BMI ) to undergo surgery for the most safe outcome and so that you can heal well and have a good recovery.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!
