With the rising popularity of plastic surgery procedures, many women who have reached a certain age often wonder if they can still reap the benefits of a breast augmentation procedure. In truth, a woman\u2019s age actually has little to do with her ability to have a satisfactory result, although there are a few things to consider before opting for implants. Doing some research and finding a reputable board-certified plastic surgeon with whom to consult can be a great first step for anyone considering the procedure. But generally speaking, the best candidates for a <\/span>breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> will exhibit these key qualities, no matter her age.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Have Good Overall Health<\/span><\/h3>\n

More importantly than age, a woman\u2019s overall health should be taken into consideration when contemplating <\/span>breast augmentation<\/span><\/a>. Keep in mind that while typically an elective treatment, a <\/span>breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> is still a medical procedure, so overall physical health is an important factor that should go into the decision making process. <\/span><\/p>\n

That said, it is possible that a woman in her 50s or 60s could be in better physical health than a woman in her 20s or 30s, so age doesn\u2019t necessarily correlate with the ability to successfully undergo breast implant surgery. This is also something that a skilled plastic surgeon can better assess during a personal consultation, so careful communication with him or her is essential to ensuring your safety and maximizing your results. (<\/span>Dr. Carl Lentz via Real Self<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Maintain Realistic Expectations about Your Results<\/span><\/h3>\n

One benefit of waiting until you\u2019re a bit older before considering implants is that during this stage of life, you may be more realistic about what a <\/span>breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> can (and cannot) do. While many women choose to get implants to restore self-esteem and a positive body image, the procedure should not be thought of as a cure-all for underlying psychological issues. This is another crucial factor to discuss during the initial consultation, as your plastic surgeon will be able to help determine if you\u2019re considering implants for the right reasons. But again, this has much less to do with age and more to do with each individual\u2019s unique goals and situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Understand the Procedure and Recovery Process<\/span><\/h3>\n

Prior to any surgical procedure, it is hugely beneficial to fully understand the details of the surgery and the recovery process to better determine if it\u2019s a good option for you. Older women may also want to discuss with their plastic surgeon the possibility of combining a <\/span>breast augmentation<\/span><\/a> with a <\/span>breast lift<\/span><\/a> to ensure the best outcome. These procedures are commonly performed together and can offer great results, especially if sagging skin is a concern. Combining the two procedures may also produce a more natural, subtle look, rather than choosing implants alone. (<\/span>Cleveland Clinic<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with understanding the procedure itself, it\u2019s important to make sure you can schedule enough time for a safe and comfortable recovery. Often, this can even be a bit easier later in life, as you may feel more settled into your career and family. Many older women find that taking some time for themselves is a way to feel more energized and rejuvenated. (<\/span>American Academy of Plastic Surgeons<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n
