I am 60 years old, look 50-ish, and want to know if it's too late to have implants. And, if a lift is recommended, what are those risks? Is There a Point when Your Age Becomes an Issue?

Answer: Sixty year old requesting breast implant augmentation and lift.
Sixty years old is not the limiting factor as long as you are in good health. I would discuss this with your primary care physician and ask for his/her recommendation for a plastic surgeon. Once you have scheduled a consult wiht the plastic surgeon, they wii decide and advise you as to the need for a lift

Answer: Age and Cosmetic Surgery
Dear Terylee,
An adult who is healthy, has appropriate expectations for the given procedure and is a good candidate can usually have a cosmetic procedure. Age is not a great factor if the other criteria has been met. Every surgeon has his/her comfort level performing cosmetic procedures on patients in their 7th or 8th decade of life.
