11 Dec What is the Ideal Age for a Breast Lift?
Age is not always kind to our bodies, especially our breasts. As the years continue to go by, our breasts can start to look like sad versions of what they once were, lacking firmness and perkiness. Some women that visit Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery often wonder if there is an ideal age for having a breast lift? Simply put, there isn’t, but there are some factors that may make you want to re-evaluate your options and possibly either hold off or go ahead and get the lifted appearance you so desperately want.
Are Your Breasts Fully Developed?
In order to have any type of breast enhancement, your breasts should be fully developed. Physical development is important because no two women are the same and everyone’s body is different. Some women develop faster while others continue to experience changes well into their 20s. It is possible for some teenagers with larger and heavier breasts to experience slight sagging, but they should hold off until breasts are stabilized as they may continue to form and change.
Are You Finished Having Children?
Although a breast lift, nor breast implants for that matter, will not affect your ability to get pregnant or breastfeed, it is still a good idea to wait until after you are finished having children as pregnancy and breastfeeding can take quite the toll on your breasts. Weight gain and stretched skin can alter your breast lift results possibly forcing you to need revision surgery.
If You’re Older, Ensure Safety With Your Physician
There is no age limit for when you can no longer elect to have a breast lift; however, the older you get, the higher the risk for complications depending on your health. It is important that you be checked out by your primary physician and have no existing medical conditions that could complicate your surgery.
