Speaking with a qualified surgeon will help you identify if you’re suitable for breast surgery. Here are some criteria that apply to successful breast surgery candidates:
Physical Health: Ideal candidates should be in good overall health without chronic illnesses or conditions that could impair healing or increase surgical risks.
Realistic Expectations: Understanding the potential outcomes and limitations of breast surgery is important. Candidates should have realistic expectations about the results and acknowledge that while surgery aims to enhance appearance, it might not achieve ‘perfection’ as that’s a term that’s subjective to everyone.
Age and Development: Patients should be at least 18 years old for augmentation to ensure breast development is complete.
Non-smokers: Smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of complications. Candidates are advised to quit smoking several weeks before and after the surgery.
Stable Weight: Weight fluctuations can affect breast size and shape. Candidates should be at a stable weight for several months before surgery to ensure lasting results.
Emotional Well-being: Emotional stability and having a supportive environment can aid the recovery process.
