What is the ideal age for breast augmentation? As you can imagine, I can’t give you a definitive answer. However, I can show you what you can expect for each decade before you make the decision to have a breast augmentation.
If you have decided to undergo breast augmentation, it is important to consider not only the shape but also the choice of size of your implants, which is of vital importance. Breast aesthetics is a very personal thing. There are no strict rules for determining the implant size best suited to each body type. How can you best decide on the right implant size for you?
For many of my patients, their breasts can be a real source of complexes. Whether for aesthetic or reconstructive reasons, breast augmentation helps women to feel better about their bodies. Here is some information about this cosmetic surgery procedure.
20 years ago, when I started my training in plastic and aesthetic surgery, breast augmentation using implants in private or university clinics was mainly done using textured implants (which have a rough layer on the surface). A few years ago, studies showed that textured breast implants could lead to chronic inflammation over the long term. This problem led to the development of ultra-smooth textured implants such as Motiva Ergonomix® implants.
When it comes to breast augmentation, choosing the right silicone implants is extremely important. Whether it’s the size, the shape, the manufacturer, the consistency, the surface of the implant or the cost, there is certain information you absolutely must know.
