These days, more and more people are saying "Life begins at 50" or "50 is the new 30." Unfortunately, our bodies don't always agree. If you feel healthy and you feel youthful, why shouldn't you look as young as you feel?

One common concern women have with their aging bodies is their breasts. Whether their breasts never developed, they have begun to sag, or they lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss, about 70% of women of all ages are unhappy with the appearance of their breasts. Breast augmentation can help with many of these concerns, and there's no upper limit on the age the procedure can be performed.

Breast augmentation is a procedure that can be performed on any adult woman who is in good health and has complaints about her body that the procedure can correct. Breast augmentation can help women who are unhappy with:

  • Small breasts
  • Breasts that have lost volume
  • Breasts that have minor sagging
  • Breasts that have softened with age
  • Breasts that seem hollow in the top surface

The size and shape of breast implants that are best for you will depend on the size and shape of your natural breasts, your rib cage, and the firmness of your skin. In some cases, sagging is best addressed with a breast lift, which can be combined with breast implants to give you the appearance you desire.
