Who would be considered a good candidate for breast enlargement or breast augmentation surgery?
The ideal candidate is over 18 years of age, that is a consenting adult, psychologically fit, healthy, has well-defined and realistic expectations of the breast enlargement process, and is not under the impression that breast augmentation surgery is the answer to all of her life’s problems. Patients who are inappropriate candidates include women with a breast malignancy, or pre-cancerous tumor(s), are pregnant or nursing or breast feeding post-partum, the presence of acute or chronic infection, including oral or dental. Relative red flags include psychological or emotional instability, stressful life-events, and unrealistic goals and expectations.
