Breast Augmentation and Liposuction Blog - Dr. Bottger

Many women have questions about breast enlargement surgery. Many of these questions are specifically about breast enlargement surgery and age-related concerns.

Age is definitely a serious consideration. Too young and results could end up being regrettable later on. Too old and results may disappoint immediately.

While the optimal age range is between 18 and 50 years old, your personal health, plans for future pregnancies, lifestyle, job, general health and current breast health have as much to do with your breast enlargement decision as your age.

Cosmetic surgeon, Dr. David Bottger evaluates these and other personal factors during each consultation. During your examination he will take all of your personal goals into consideration in respect to your age when preparing his recommendations.

If you are under 18, you will probably be told to wait a few years before making such a life-affecting decision. You may have different wants later. However, if your breasts are asymmetrical or misshapen, you may be an excellent candidate for early surgery.

If you are approaching 50 years old, Dr. Bottger will have some special recommendations for your based upon your full medical history and your expectations. You can expect better results if you’ve taken excellent care of your body and skin throughout your life. However, as we age, our skin and muscles begin to deteriorate. Achieving our former look or taking 20 years off our age may not be a realistic goal.

If you think you would benefit from breast enlargement surgery and have questions about how your age will affect your outcome, please contact Dr. David Bottger plastic surgeon to schedule an appointment at one of his clinics in Philadelphia, Newtown Square, Bryn Mawr or West Chester, PA.
