I am 5'7, 115 pounds, and 18 years old. I am very skinny and my bones show on my chest. I want to get breast implants but I've always wondered if someone as skinny as me and with barely any breast tissue can get them, or if it would be dangerous.
Answer: Too skinny for implants? Your best bet might be to schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. During the consultation you can expect the surgeon to take measurements and discuss with you your desired outcome. You can also expect the surgeon to take your small frame into consideration and make recommendations based on your desired out come and your frame. The surgeon should also look at your medical history and determine if you are in good enough health for such a surgery.

Answer: Excellent candidate for breast implants Thank you for your question.The typical patient that presents for a breast augmentation consultation is a thin, young, healthy, female. You will likely look great with implants.Pick a surgeon you feel comfortable with. When patients come to see me, they are often overwhelmed by the number of implant choices available. We go over the options and I help them choose the size and profile by using both sizers as well as 3D imaging software to give a visual perspective to them with implants before the procedure. It's pretty neat.Good luck.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson Richards (Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon)

Answer: Am I too skinny to get breast implants? The answer is, no, you are not too skinny. I did an augmentation two weeks ago on a woman who weighed 98 lbs. and she did great! As long as you are healthy, you should do well, also. Since you are petite and thin, you want to make sure that you don't get an implant that is too large for your frame. Best of luck!

Answer: Skinny Girls Can Get Breast Implants Thank you for your question. Many skinny girls get breast implants to improve the contour of their breasts. The downside of not having any breast tissue is that there is little to disguise the fact that there is a breast implant. Larger implants will be harder to "hide", so keeping the changes in proportion are more likely to give you an aesthetic result. The good news is that newer breast implants can help with contour as well as volume. Also, even a round breast implant can give a teardrop shape when placed behind the muscle. Seek an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon in your area for an well educated opinion.
