A good candidate for breast augmentation surgery is healthy, 18 years of age or older, and not currently pregnant or nursing. Breast augmentation can enhance your self-confidence and your appearance, but you must have realistic expectations of what you hope to achieve through the surgery. Breast augmentation surgery does not change who you are. It can change the size and shape of your breasts, correct imbalance, and improve firmness and body contour.
There are many things to consider before deciding if breast augmentation is right for you. Undergoing breast augmentation surgery is a serious undertaking and should be made for all the right reasons. Women who have unrealistic expectations and who have a general dissatisfaction with their own bodies or are feeling pressured into surgery by others are definitely not good candidates for breast augmentation surgery.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Breast augmentation surgery is a good way to enhance your figure, but not change it entirely. The best candidates for this surgery are:
In good physical health
Not currently pregnant or nursing
Psychologically stable
In possession of realistic expectations
Teenagers and Breast Augmentation
Teenagers are not good candidates for breast augmentation because breasts continue to develop into the early twenties. There is no way to determine if a teenager will even need breast augmentation in a few years. A teenage girls' dissatisfaction with her body may be resolved with physical and emotional maturity and no need for surgical intervention.
However, a healthy adult with a good self-image may be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation surgery; a good candidate is a woman who follows a healthy diet and participates in some form of physical activity. Another consideration should be given to whether your childbearing years are over when contemplating breast augmentation surgery. Though breast implants don't interfere with pregnancy or breastfeeding, there is the possibility you would need breast implant revision surgery. Pregnancy and nursing may affect the look of your breasts warranting breast implant revision surgery.

how much does it cost to get breast augmentation in Mexico?

QUESTION:
How can I check if my plastic surgeon has any complaints filed if he is from Mexico?
I decided that now after having my children and going through major weight changes I want to have a breast augmentation. I chose a doctor from Tijuana because it is affordable and someone I know has had "work" done there before, although not the same procedure. Now it's a couple days before surgery and I'm worried because I've heard of so many negative things that could happen. I've tried to google him but found very little info. Does anyone know how I could find out if he's good?-
ANSWER:
I wouldn't tell you how even if I knew, because getting plastic surgery outside of the country--especially in Mexico--is a terrible and dangerous idea.

QUESTION:
16 years old and totally flat chested?
I'm a 16 year old sophomore in High School. I've had my period for 5 years and I'm completely flat chested. It looks so stupid because I'm pear shaped so I have a big but and no boobs. I've lost a boyfriend due to this problem. I've always been uncomfortable with how I look and there isn't even enough boob for a push-up bra to work! I know it's superficial, but it's a subject that's kept me up late at night crying because I just don't feel pretty or womanly at all.I've been considering a boob job for a few years but I wouldn't get one until I was in my twenties. I don't want giant fake pornstar boobs that look ridiculous, but I would like to be a size B at the very most.
What implants would feel/look the most natural and what are the price ranges for the best most expensive possible breast augmentation surgeries? (I ain't going to Mexico only to have my boobs turn black and fall off)

QUESTION:
Plastic Surgery.....?
I am having a breast lift, breast augmentation, and rhinoplasty on November 24th. I was wanting to know the recovery time for my procedures due to a trip I am taking to Mexico on December 14th. My surgeon says a couple of weeks but, he says that it can be sooner. What is any of your experiences with one of these procedures?
well "something sweeter " I personally don't care what you think because I am married and my husband loves me. By the way, at least I have never had chlamydia like your profile says you do-
ANSWER:
You will definitely not recover by December 14th. I've written an essay on plastic surgery and recovery time usually takes up to 6 months but your having more than one procedure done so who knows how long it will take you. You definitely will not recover from a rhinoplasty that fast but you might be okay with a breast lift/augmentation but you will still be feeling some pain long after December 14th. If your pale it will take you longer to heal because pale skin is sensitive skin and if your sort of tannish then it won't take as long but either way the recovery rate is still pretty lengthy. I'm sorry to say but you really did not plan this well at all. Good luck though & I hope your happy with the results
