Who should get breast augmentation in Orlando?

The best breast augmentation candidates typically share these traits:

  • Nonsmokers in good overall health (you should stop smoking a few months before your procedure)
  • No active infections or untreated conditions that may interfere with surgery or recovery
  • At least 18-years-old (saline implants) and 22-years-old (silicone implants)
  • Have concerns about small or deflated breasts
  • Finished having children and done breastfeeding

Dr. Soto discusses your full medical background during your initial consultation. This includes any prescription medications you may be taking. We also explore your reasons for getting breast surgery and whether you can benefit from a breast augmentation with lift. This approach restores breast perkiness and enhances symmetry in addition to adding breast volume. Our team will make an honest assessment of your goals and give you realistic expectations about your results.

Who is not a good candidate for breast augmentation?

Just like certain criteria make you a great candidate for breast augmentation, there are other factors that disqualify you from surgery. This is why it is critical to communicate openly with me during your consultation. We can recommend alternative treatment options in our office. Let us know if the following apply to you:

  • You are currently pregnant or breastfeeding

  • You have an active infection

  • You have breast cancer

  • You do not meet our age requirements

  • Your expectations are unclear or unrealistic

Our goal is to ensure your safety and help you enjoy your results for years to come. If you are not eligible for breast augmentation, do not be discouraged.

Additional considerations 

Breast implants do not affect your ability to become pregnant or breastfeed. However, pregnancy can have an adverse effect on your breast augmentation results. This includes stretched-out skin and droopy breasts. This is why we recommend that you are done having children before seeking procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, or comprehensive mommy makeover surgery. If you do get pregnant after surgery, we can restore your appearance with a secondary procedure.
