Answer: Breast Augmentation Considerations for a 50 Year Old If you're in good health, then women over 50 can be great candidates for breast augmentation surgery. Expect your surgeon to carefully evaluate your breast tissues in order to help you choose the best implant for your body. It's important to make sure you have an up-to-date mammogram has been performed within the last year. 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.

Answer: Similar to Any Surgical Patient; Perhaps Aug/Pexy Thank you for your question. There aren't really specific concerns for someone your age. You will need to be medically cleared for surgery by your primary care physician, the same for any surgical patient. If there have significant ptosis (sagginess) in your breasts, you may want an augmentation plus a breast lift (an aug/pexy). Good luck, and for more information about other choices to be made before undergoing breast augmentation, take a look at the Guide to Breast Augmentation on my website from the web reference below. I discuss common patient questions I receive, silicone versus saline implants, round versus anatomically shaped implants, smooth versus texturized implants, implant manufacturer, implant insertion incision location, implant location inside the breast, and more.

Answer: Breast Augmentation for a 50 Year Old Your age should not otherwise affect your status as a candidate for breast augmentation. Ideal candidates are in good health physically and emotionally and have realistic expectations for what this procedure can achieve. If you meet these requirements and as long as you have no other pre-existing conditions that affect your ability to undergo anesthesia and surgery, there are no major concerns. Any other particular concerns would have to do with the current shape and appearance of your breasts, especially in regards to the possible need for a breast lift in conjunction with augmentation. It would be best to discuss this further with a highly experienced board certified plastic surgeon who can examine you in person and address all of your questions and concerns.
