If you’re considering breast augmentation in your 50s, there are some factors to consider that may differ from the concerns of women who get breast augmentation at a younger age. Today, more women than ever get breast augmentation in their 50s and even older as patients realize the benefits of breast implants in their more mature years and how breast augmentation may even help you age more gracefully.
Breast Implant Results Are Better than Ever
Decades ago, women had few options when it came to breast implants, and the fashions of the time favored high, round, Baywatch-style breasts. Today, you can take your pick of saline or silicone breast implants to create a natural, subtle outcome or a more eye-catching result.
In fact, the developments in breast implants and surgical techniques are one reason women who got implants in their younger years may consider updating their implants to match their bodies.
Breast Augmentation Surgery Will Be a Breeze
For a young woman in her 20s getting breast augmentation, the surgical experience may be the most physically exhausting thing she’s ever gone through. Older breast augmentation patients, on the other hand, often hardly bat an eye. You may have had children, undergone C-sections or other types of surgeries, or accomplished physical feats that make augmentation surgery seem like a walk through the park.
Another reason so many women get breast implants in their 50s is financial. Now is not the time to sacrifice getting what you truly want. You’ve likely done plenty of that in your younger years. While not everyone can afford to get breast implants in her youth, by the time you reach your 50s, you may find that your bank account allows you to invest a little bit back in yourself.
