6 things you should know about having breast surgery over 50
When considering breast surgery over 50, it is vital to understand that your body’s baseline has shifted, making the procedure as much about restoration as enhancement.
- Firstly, skin elasticity naturally diminishes with age, meaning a breast lift is almost always required alongside an augmentation to prevent a heavy look.
- Secondly, hormonal changes during menopause can affect tissue density and healing, so you must be healthy before going ahead with breast surgery.
- Third, we prioritise having a shape that’s in proportion over sheer volume with the goal usually being to restore the silhouette you had in your thirties rather than creating an artificial appearance.
- Fourth, you must be up to date on your mammograms, as we need to ensure your breasts are healthy before we start surgery.
- Recovery may take slightly longer than it would for a younger patient, but the psychological boost of fitting back into tailored clothing is often more profound.
- Finally, modern internal bra techniques now allow us to provide long-term support for thinning tissues, ensuring your results defy gravity for years to come. It is about feeling like the best version of yourself.”
