I'm going to be 77 years old. Is it too late for a breast lift?

The key is that you are healthy. I require medical clearance for my patients that are over 65 so that I am working together with your primary care physician to be sure you are a good candidate for the elective procedure. Often times I perform breast lift (mastopexy) surgery under local anesthesia. i would recommend you check with your primary care physician to be sure she/he agrees you are a healthy candidate and please be sure your mammogram is up to date.

If you are of good health and can get clearance from your primary care doctor, then you should be appropriate for surgery.

Age does not preclude a patient from surgery. I have many patients in there seventies who elect to undergo surgery for the first time.  As long as you are healthy, that is the most important thing.  I hope this helps.

Thanks for your question. 77 could be a fine age for a breast lift. I performed a lift several months ago on a 73 year old and she did quite well and was very happy. She now plans on having a facelift. Patients of any age are routinely screened for health issues; if they are medically stable for surgery it's a go. Surgery is not for everyone but for those who chose to enhance their appearance, it can make a significant difference. For more information on this and similar topics, I recommend a plastic surgery book like "The Scoop On Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths." Best of luck to you.

No way is that too old. If you are healthy enough to have anesthesia for an elective case, then you should see a board-certified plastic surgeon and get the ball rolling. This is quite a gentle operation both physiologically on the patient as well as postoperative healing. Good luck on your venture.

The most important thing is that you are healthy.  For this reason, you would need a preop medical clearance to assess your health.  Beyond that and a recent mammogram, most people in their 70's can have a breast lift.Hope this is helpful!

The
breasts may lose their elasticity and firmness which can be caused by different
factors such as pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging. To
reaffirm the breasts and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a
mastopexy or breast lift. A breast lift
restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging
breasts. This not only can improve a patient’s appearance by restoring her
youthful, feminine proportions, but also help bras and swimsuits fit more
comfortably and attractively. By removing excess, stretched out skin, reshaping
the breast tissue, and raising the nipple & areola into a more forward
position, a cosmetic surgeon can create a more youthful breast
contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be reduced during breast
lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned, natural looking breast, Actually
the perkiness on a person or another, depends on patients skin and breast
tissue for
the first 3 to 4 months! 

Age is not a contraindication for surgery as long as you are healthy.  You are entitled to great look at any age. Go for it.

If you are healthy and desire a breast lift, then it is possible to undergo the surgery.  Best of luck.

Assuming you are in good health, the age is not an issue. It can even be done under local anesthetic and mild sedation in some cases.
