Answer: Being underweight and breast implants Yes, you can have augmentation if you are underweight as long as you are healthy enough for anesthesia. This will need to be determined by your Plastic Surgeon during an examination.

Answer: A low BMI is not a contraindication to breast implants A low BMI is not a problem as long as you are overall healthy and have realistic expectations. Being thin will mean your implants will be visible and any rippling will be more obvious compared to a person who has more fat to cover up the implants

Answer: Underweight, considering implants 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.

Answer: Can you have breast implants if you are underweight a little? 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!
