Who is the candidate for Breast Augmentation

In general, a best candidate for Breast augmentation is:

• 18 years of age or older
• Not currently pregnant or nursing
• In good physical health
• Psychologically stable
• Wanting to improve their appearance
• Realistic in their expectations
• Having this surgery for the first time

While many women seeking breast augmentation are young women who have been unhappy with their figures all their lives, others are women who feel that their breasts are no longer attractive following changes in weight, changes associated with aging, or changes due to childbearing.

The best candidate is one with little or no sagging, and a reasonable amount of breast tissue with which to cover the lower part of the implant. Women who are less than ideal candidates can still get excellent results, though, as we are usually able to perform additional procedures or modify the procedure in ways to overcome the problematic features.
