Who Is A Candidate For Breast Augmentation?

The best candidates for breast augmentation are women over the age of 18 and who are in good health. It is an ideal solution for women who wish to restore the appearance of breasts that have lost their shape and volume following pregnancy or weight loss or in women with minimal breast development.

If you have gone through one or more pregnancies or lost a significant amount of weight, significant excess skin and sagging may exist and you may need to consider a breast lift either with or without breast implants. This would be determined at the time of the breast implant consultation.

Breast feeding is typically not affected by breast implant surgery.

To find out if you are a candidate for breast augmentation, please contact our Philadelphia plastic surgery office today to schedule your initial consultation with Dr. Bottger, serving Philadelphia, Bryn Mawr, and West Chester, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.
