Age is no longer a barrier when it comes to achieving your ideal appearance. At Folsom Plastic Surgery, many women over 40 are choosing breast augmentation to enhance their confidence and address changes in their bodies that occur with time. Whether you’ve always wanted larger breasts or are seeking to restore volume lost after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging, breast augmentation can be a safe and rewarding option at any stage of life. Below, the team at Folsom Plastic Surgery discusses what you should know if you are contemplating breast enhancement after your 30s.
What Changes After 40?
As women age, their bodies naturally experience changes that can affect the breasts. Reduced skin elasticity, hormonal shifts, and the effects of gravity often lead to volume loss and sagging. While these changes are normal, they can leave some women feeling less confident in their appearance. Breast augmentation with implants is a popular solution to enhance size and shape, with the option to combine it with a breast lift to address sagging and create a more youthful look.
Is It Safe to Get Breast Augmentation After 40?
Yes, breast augmentation is safe for women over 40 when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Shahriar Mabourakh. Your health is the top priority, so before undergoing surgery, you’ll undergo a thorough medical evaluation, including routine screenings like mammograms, to ensure you’re a good candidate. With advances in implant technology and surgical techniques, the procedure is safer and more customizable than ever.
What Results Can I Expect?
Women over 40 often have specific goals for their breast augmentation, such as restoring youthful volume or improving symmetry. Whether you choose saline or silicone implants, the results are tailored to your preferences and body proportions. For women dealing with significant sagging, combining augmentation with a breast lift can produce a dramatic and natural-looking transformation.
Why Breast Augmentation May Be the Right Choice Now
For many women, turning 40 marks a time to focus on themselves after years of prioritizing work, family, or other responsibilities. Breast augmentation can be a way to celebrate this new chapter and feel more confident in your skin. Whether you’re looking to enhance your appearance in swimwear or simply feel more comfortable in everyday clothing, this procedure offers both aesthetic and emotional benefits.
