I am 63 years of age. I would like to know if I'm too old to have a breast lift?

 I have had many patients have breast lifts or even larger procedures in their 60's or older. Safety has much more to do with your overall health than your age.Last year I did a breast lift on a healthy 75 year old who did great and is very happy she did it. See your plastic surgeon about what procedure would be good for you and evaluation of your fitness for the surgery. If there is any question, they will consult with your medical doctors about your fitness for the surgery.

If you have no medical problems and you are healthy, an evaluation by your primary care doctor will determine your risk for surgery.

63 is not too old to get a breast lift!  If your breast appearance concerns you, surgery could definitely be done to help you.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.  Best of luck with your surgery!

Your age by itself will not prevent you from having a breast lift. Find an expert in breast surgery who has
great reviews and great before and after photos.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hi and thanks for your question. Age in and of itself does not preclude anyone from having a breast lift. Today our life expectancy is longer. Here is nothing wrong in desiring a more youthful and perky breast. Living in South Florida it is more likely than not that you will find women in their 50 s and 60 s enjoying the outdoors. When you finally decide to go for it.....research, research and the research some more.Always seek out the opinion of a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with years of experience in cosmetic breast surgery. Furthermore request to see before and after photos of previous patients by that doctor....not a clinic or surgery center. Do your homework......research and verify the doctor's credentials. Have they had problems with the Board of Medicine, disciplinary or otherwise. Any law suits? How about the center, clinic or facility? Are they accredited by a national organization or do they just have State approval. Understand that at the current time, there are three nationally recognized organizations responsible for the highest levels of patient safety, AAAASF, AAACH and JCHO. You owe it to yourself to position yourself for the best possible results but under the most stringent safety regulations, If you have kids, even more so.How about anesthesia? Will you have a medical doctor certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology or a certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA)? Understand that there is no substitute for research. Cosmetic surgery, no matter how simple it may be to the patients, are invasive procedures and as such carry certain risks and complications.In our office we use TouchMD which is a web based program in which patients have the ability to load their picture unto the program. I then evaluate them and can actually draw on the picture to show a potential patient where the incisions would be located and how the procedure is to be realized. It's all done to comply with HIPPA which is the federal law that protects the patient's medical information. Look them up. Good luck

As long as people are healthy enough to have surgery and they have realistic expectations for the surgery there is no reason not to move forward!

63 years of age is not too old to undergo a breast lift!Many women in their early sixties have benefitted from a breast lift, and you may as well. Meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to find out more!

Age is not the indicator for any aesthetic procedure.  Your general health is the best indicator of surgical fitness and your breast exam will determine if you are a candidate for your procedure of  choice.

Healthy patients desiring breast lift can be a candidate at the age of 63.  Your physician will most likely require lab work, and EKG and a letter of medical clearance from your primary care physician.Best of luck,

There is no age limit for plastic surgery as long as you are relatively healthy without any medical problems that will preclude surgery.  Your surgeon will require medical clearance as well prior to proceeding.  Best wishes!
