Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation Surgery?

read this Before Proceeding With Breast Augmentation Surgery:

You Are in Good Health and Have a Healthy Frame of Mind

If you have any infections, serious illnesses or cancer, you won’t be a good candidate for surgery. If you smoke, you will need to quit. It’s important to discuss your medical history and medical concerns with your surgeon. It’s important to have realistic expectations and fully understand how this surgery alters your appearance.

You’re Done Having Children

Patients who are done with childbearing and breastfeeding make good candidates. If you plan on future pregnancies, you will want to postpone breast augmentation until your body is fully recovered from childbirth and breastfeeding.

You Have Lost Shape and Volume

Pregnancy and nursing as well as weight gain and loss can contribute to a “deflated” look to your breasts. If you think you have serious sagging, a breast augmentation with breast lift with help remove excess, sagging skin and make your breasts appear more youthful.

You Believe Your Breasts Are Too Small

For women who have micromastia, their breasts are abnormally small. Breast augmentation surgery can help you achieve a shape more in proportion with the rest of your body.

Your Breasts Aren’t The Same Size or Shape

A number of things, including puberty, injury, illness or hormonal changes, can cause one breast to be larger than the other. A breast augmentation can help you balance out your shape.

This is Something You Want For You and You Alone

The decision to have breast augmentation is a completely personal one. It shouldn’t be made for a spouse, partner or anyone else. It has to be something that you want for yourself alone.
