Who can get a breast augmentation?

Steve Fallek (Plastic Surgeon & Medical Director, Face Focus Medical Spa, New York City) gives expert video advice on: How is a breast augmentation procedure performed?; What's the difference between "silicone" and "saline" breast implants?; What are the dangers of silicone breast implants? and more...

A patient that is lacking in breast volume is a good patient for an augmentation. Often, patients come in where they're not quite sure whether or not they need an augmentation or a lift. You and your plastic surgeon should determine whether or not you are a good candidate for breast augmentation. Sometimes those procedures can be performed at the same time. Nobody under the age of 18 should really have breast augmentation and that is part of the rules of the manufacturer. With some of the new regulations for putting in silicone implants, no patient under the age of 22 is allowed to have silicone implants.
