AM I TOO OLD FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION? The Clinic for Plastic Surgery

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed every year, and women of a wide age range undergo the procedure without any difficulty. Although some individuals worry they’re too old for breast augmentation, when it comes down to it, your health is the deciding factor for whether you are a good candidate for breast augmentation - not your age.

During your initial consultation, Houston plastic surgeon, Dr. Sam Sukkar, will go over your medical history and perform a comprehensive exam to determine if you could achieve your desired results from breast implants. Since the body undergoes several changes as we age, older patients may have different needs from someone who is in their 20s. For example, the breasts may begin to descend on the chest wall, due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or the natural aging process. If this is the case, Dr. Sukkar may recommend a breast lift in addition to or in place of a breast augmentation (often referred to simply as a breast augmentation with lift).

In the end, our goal is to help you achieve your dream body and feel confident and beautiful. If breast augmentation is not right for you, Dr. Sukkar will help you find an alternative solution that may help you get closer to your ideal appearance.
