It might not seem like it, but plenty of women undergo breast augmentation in their 40s. If you’re in your 40s and considering breast augmentation, then you’re probably wizened and ready for a new change. Don’t think of it as if it’s a matter of being too old to get a new figure—if anything, breast augmentation just might be the key to rejuvenating your look. You’ve been there, done that—now it’s time to do a little something for yourself. To help you learn more about the process, we’ve put together this helpful guide on what you need to learn about breast augmentation in your 40s:
Plan, Plan, Plan
It’s important to consider the logistics of breast augmentation—especially when it comes to timing. Lucky for you, being in your 40s is an optimal time to get the procedure done. Many women are often done having children in their 40s, which removes the possibility that their results might be compromised by a future pregnancy. And since age-related volume loss might have set in by their 40s, many women also seek breast augmentation to help restore fullness and firmness to the breasts.
Consider a Lift
At your age, your skin’s elasticity will be slightly compromised. It’s possible that over the years, a small degree of drooping might even have developed. In that case, it’s important to consider whether you should also undergo a breast lift in addition to breast augmentation. Hear us out: for certain women who have some droopiness in the breast, the insertion of implants might actually make sagging worse. With that in mind, you might want to opt for a breast lift with implants because it would be able to give you the right lifting effect as well as give you peace of mind that your results will be long-lasting. A breast lift with implants can address a wide range of issues:
- Restore volume loss in the breasts
- Enhance the cleavage
- Reposition the breasts to a more youthful position
- Resize overly large nipples
Maybe a Mammogram
Since many women begin getting mammograms in their 40s, you might be concerned about how implants might interfere with the screening. Fortunately, many physicians consider breast augmentation to be safe for mammograms, although it’s highly recommended that you inform the technician about your implants before every test.
This is your decade—your time to just do you. Maybe you’re done having children or you’re at the peak of your career, but now is the perfect time to boost confidence and pride about your body. To learn more about what your breast augmentation will be like, contact Aesthetx now, for a consultation.
