Is 66 considered too old for explantation? (Photo)

Thank you for your inquiry! You're a great candidate for an explanation as age does not determine surgery eligibility. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to create a surgical plan targeted towards your specific goals.

Dear Nice 319219 thank you for asking such an important question.

Age alone is not typically a determining factor for explantation surgery. However, your overall health and medical history are more critical considerations. As long as you are in good health and cleared for surgery by your physician, explantation can be safely performed at 66 years old. It's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your individual situation and discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure based on your specific needs and concerns.

Age is never an issue for an explant. The biggst factor would be your health. I have treated many women in the older age group. It is very common to see women in th age group of 65-80 in my practice.

I am truly sorry to hear about your situation. I have many patients your age and older who undergo breast explant surgery. Medical clearance would be necessary, as with any of my patients. Wishing you luck on your journey to a health.

Dear Nice319219,
as long as you are healthy, 66 is not too old for surgery. 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.
