Am I Suitable?
In deciding whether you are suitable for breast implants, as with any cosmetic surgery procedure you need to keep realistic expectations in mind at all times. This will ensure that you are not disappointed with the end results. Your surgeon will tell you that you should not be aiming to get the best body imaginable or the ‘perfect look’, but instead simply an improved appearance. This is not to say you should have low expectations, merely ones that can actually be met. If you have a realistic outlook then you are more likely to be much happier with the end results.
In terms of age, there is no specific limit placed on those who want to have the treatment. However, a lot of surgeons will not carry out breast augmentation surgery with implants on anyone who is under the age of around sixteen. This will apply to a lot of cosmetic surgery procedures and is practiced because those under this age are still developing and growing. When growth is complete, a surgeon will be much happier to carry out the surgery (circumstances depending).
You should also consider your health when considering using breast implants. Health/medical issues you might already have should be taken into account and should be discussed with your doctor prior to the surgery being carried out; otherwise you could be putting yourself in unnecessary danger. There will be some risks associated with any kind of surgery so it is in your best interests to let your surgeon know everything connected to your physical health and medical history to ensure that the surgery is not only safe, but also as successful as it can possible be. As well as keeping them informed, they will also let you know how you can prepare, which will involve avoiding certain medications and making sure that your health is as good as it can be.
It terms of specific attributes to being suitable for breast implants, clearly thswe involve the current size and shape (or condition) of your breasts. You could have small breasts that are affecting your confidence, and affecting clothes shopping (sometimes, clothes could be baggy around the chest but tight around the waist). Following childbirth or sudden weight loss, you may no longer be satisfied with the condition of your breasts. As well as these issues, you may have asymmetrical breasts that you want correcting or you might have a congenital deformity. |
