Thank you for the question. “78 and very healthy” is certainly not too old for breast augmentation surgery. Best to see your family practitioner or internist and obtain “medical clearance” prior to seeking consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons in your area. Then, communicate your goals carefully. Best wishes; hopefully your only regret will be not having done it earlier in life.
Thank you for your question.The most important thing to consider when you are undergoing a cosmetic procedure is that you are healthy. Age is just a number because there are people that are in their 70's that are healthier than people in their 50's. As long as you do not have any health problems, I would proceed with contacting a surgeon in your area to see if you are a good canidate for the surgery.
