Dear Forceful807753,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

In the absence of underlying medical problems, your low BMI should not prohibit you from safely having breast augmentation. Seek a consultation from a board-certified plastic surgeon. He or she can discuss your options and identify any risks.

If you are healthy then you wouldn’t be too skinny for implants. However, you may need to consider a smaller size.

Thank you for your question. Needless to say, an examination or photos would allow for a more accurate and precise response, but if there is no medical contraindication, there is no patient with smaller than desirable breasts would would be disqualified form a breast augmentation.

Fortunately there is a wide range of implant sizes that are available that would make it possible for any patient to have a very satisfactory outcome. Breast augmentation can be a huge confidence booster for women such as you.

Please consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon whose aesthetics and reviews resonate with you. It is possible that you will find that more than one consultation may be required for you to feel confident about moving forward. Best of luck to you.

You are probably an ideal candidate for breast implants.

Size would be determined on your measurements and during consultation with a plastic surgeon to confirm.

If you are otherwise healthy you may still be a candidate for breast augmentation.  Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.  During this meeting you will review your health history and your surgeon will advise if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

There are many options of implants today with different shapes and sizes and you may be a good candidate for a small implant. It is best that you visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you and give you some options.

You did not submit photos which would have been very helpful. However, go in for consultation and discuss small- moderate size gel implants placed behind the muscle for better coverage.
