Is 70 years old OK for a breast lift?

If you are physically and mentally healthy and your bloodwork shows that, then 70 is not too old for a breast lift.

Thank you for your question.  Absolutely!  As long as you have medical clearance for surgery, you can have a breast lift.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

You're never too old to look and feel better!  We would take some extra precautions prior to surgery (ie: EKG, blood work, possibly medical clearance), but that would be the only difference.  Make sure you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area!  Best of luck!

I have a woman scheduled for a breast lift at the end of July; she is 71. She came to her daughter's post-op breast augmentation visit, saw how great her daughter's breasts looked, and asked if she was too old. She isn't.Interestingly, Marie Kolstad of California had a breast augmentation and lift in June 2011 at age 83. She didn’t tell her family about it until the day before (she didn’t think they’d approve), but she did agree to do interviews afterward. At her age, she told The New York Times, “Your breasts go in one direction and your brain goes in another. Physically, I’m in good health, and I just feel like, why not take advantage of it?” During an ABC News interview, she explained, “I just wanted nice ones. I didn’t want anything outlandish or out of place. Now, they are firmer and rounder."My patients tell me they want to feel as good on the outside as they do on the inside. If you're healthy, there's no age limit to cosmetic breast surgery.Good luck!Dr. Ted Eisenberg

Thank you for your question, in fact I operate on many women your age and older.  Of course, we would need to medically clear you through your primary care physician.  I belive your are never too old to look good and feel great about yourself.  Hope everything goes well for you and whether you choose to have surgery or not.  Good luck

Hello, provided you are in good overall health, there is no inherent reason you can not have breast lift surgery at age 70.

Chronological age is not the sole factor upon which to determine candidacy for a specific surgery. Past medical history, prior history of breast surgery or radiation to the breast, smoking history and the contemplated length of breast lift surgery should also be considered when making a decision about patient safety. I recommend you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your expectations and specific candidacy for breast lift (mastopexy) surgery.

Assuming a patient is healthy, a breast lift at age 70 is possible. In some cases, it can be done with mild sedation. See link below for examples. 

Thank you for your question. 70 is not too old at all! many patients at your age have surgery. I would anticipate you to do quite well assuming you are in good health. A medical clearance would be necessary, however. I hope this helps and have a wonderful day. Dr Kayser - St Clair Shores

It is obvious that you think young, fraggletop. Chronological age is very often an inaccurate measure of vitality or being a candidate for surgery. Certainly, lifts of many body areas are done on patients even older than you. Assuming your health is good, you could have the breast lift under general anesthesia,as an outpatient, and, if there is a health issue preventing use of anesthesia, you may well be able to have it done under local anesthesia with mild sedation--which can be both safe and effective. See a board-certified Plastic Surgeon for an exam and discussion of your options.
