Some other things that make a good breast augmentation candidate:
Physical Health
Plastic surgeons emphasize physical health because all surgeries, including breast augmentation, carry risks. Ideally, you should not have a serious illness, untreated cancer or any active infections to limit the risks of the surgery.
Mental Health
Most women who choose breast augmentation are happy with their decision – but it needs to be a decision you make in a healthy state of mind. The procedure will change your appearance permanently, which is something you need to be sure you want before moving forward.
Meeting Age Requirements
The FDA requires that you be 18 years of age to get saline implants and 22 years of age to get silicone implants.
