Candidacy for Breast Augmentation
Serving Manhattan, New York, Long Island, New Jersey
Hopefully, you are acquiring as much information about breast augmentation procedures as possible prior to undergoing the operation. It is important to evaluate carefully your candidacy for breast augmentation surgery. During the initial screening, your medical history is discussed to ensure that you do not have a medical condition preventing the procedure.
Dr. Lefkovits will discuss every aspect of the breast augmentation procedure, the benefits, as well as the risks. Only a thorough consultation will answer the question of whether or not you are a good candidate for surgery. It is important to let Dr. Lefkovits understand your aesthetic goals in order to help create a comprehensive treatment plan to reach those goals.
Reasons for Breast Augmentation
There are many reasons women choose to undergo breast augmentation in the first place. These include:
- Dissatisfaction with breast size
- Asymmetrical breasts
- Upper body is disproportionately smaller than the lower body
- Loss of firmness from age or after pregnancy
- Dramatic weight loss
While all these are legitimate reasons to undergo breast augmentation, they do not necessarily make you a good candidate by themselves.
Ideal Candidates
The reasons above are many and varied, but the ideal candidate for breast augmentation surgery should meet the following criteria:
- Healthy adult with no major medical problems
- Informed patient who understands what the procedure is and how it will affect you
- Realistic expectations and clear aesthetic goals
While breast augmentation surgery cannot impart self-esteem, it can make you feel better about the way you look and feel.
Poor Candidates
- Low self-esteem
- Unhealthy lifestyle or medically unfit for surgery
- Unrealistic expectations
- Those pressured by others
- Women who have not fully developed physically
The decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery needs to be yours alone. While we definitely recommend seeking the advice and counsel of those close to you, the decision is ultimately yours. Undergoing breast augmentation surgery to make someone else happy will frequently leave you unhappy.
Ultimately, your expectations will be the determining factor in whether or not you are satisfied with the results. Visit our question and answer page if you have additional questions about breast augmentation surgery.
