Am I Too Heavy for a Breast Augmentation?

breast augmentation can be performed on heavier women as well as thinner women. There is no limitation based on weight.

Breast augmentation is NOT just for skinny women. Although it may be more unlikely that someone who is overweight would desire to have her breasts enlarged, being overweight is not a contraindication. Some women, like you, may be disproportionate and may benefit from breast augmentation to balance out their figure and improve their body image. As with any body contouring procedure, if you are on a weight loss plan, it is best to reach you goal weight prior to undergoing surgery. As with many women, in your case some type of lift procedure may be indicated with the augmentation. If you lose weight before surgery rather than after, then the maximum amount of skin tightening and lifting can be achieved and there will be no sagging afterward.

I have seen a lot of people who are unhappy with their weight who desire breast augmentation when I tell them they will look larger with breast implants they usually run for the door and lose weight before returning

I have had many big size women who have had breast augmentaiton. Usually, you want to choose a breast implant size that is porportional to your figure and also does not make you look heavier.

Yes, there is no reason based just on weight that you cannot have a breast augmentation.  However, there are many other factors to consider to make sure that you are a good candidate for surgery.  If you post before pictures, we may be able to give you more specific advice.

 

Good Luck.

People who are moderately overweight can still benefit  from breast augmentation. As with most plastic surgical procedures, it is best that you achieve your final weight goal before proceding. At times, if significant weight loss occurs, breasts may sag more and require a lift in addition to an augmentation. You should obtain a face to face consultation to better assess these issues

Without photos or a face to face examination and a known height weight ratio it is impossible to say if you are a candidate for breast augmentation. I do not even know what to make of your body being "uneven". The latest trend is fat grafting for breast augmentation. If you are overweight but small in the breast department this may be a better option.

It's difficult to determine with out you emailing photos- then it would make it easer to asess.

Breast augmentation is NOT only performed on skinny people. In fact, many patients who are above their ideal body weight have the procedure performed. 

You need a in person evaluation to answer the question correctly. Have larger type woman have breast implants? Yes of course but over the internet without a posted photo very hard to advise. Best to see a boarded surgeon in your area. From MIAMI
