What’s the Right Age for Breast Augmentation? 4 Key Factors to Consider
Women choose to get a breast augmentation for various reasons — from correcting asymmetry to restoring volume or regaining their pre-pregnancy bodies. But one of the most frequently asked questions is: What is the right age to get breast implants?
Whether you’re 18 or in your 30s, here are four important considerations to help you decide if now is the right time.
1. Understand FDA Recommendations
The U.S. FDA recommends a minimum age of 22 for silicone implants and 18 for saline implants. Although it's not illegal to get implants at a younger age, most qualified cosmetic surgeons recommend waiting until your body has fully matured.
There are exceptions, such as for reconstructive or medically necessary procedures, but in general, patience can help ensure the best long-term results.
2. Consider How Your Body May Still Be Developing
Young women may still experience changes in breast shape and size well into their early 20s. Having surgery too early could result in needing revisions later, especially if symmetry or volume continues to shift naturally.
That’s why even if you’re eager to move forward, a consultation with a board-certified surgeon can help determine if the time is truly right.
3. Think About Family Planning
Some women prefer to wait until after they’ve had children before undergoing breast augmentation. Although it’s absolutely possible to have implants before pregnancy, certain incision methods may influence your ability to breastfeed, and physical changes from childbirth may affect your results.
In some cases, postponing the surgery until after your last child may reduce the need for future revisions.
4. Speak with a Qualified Cosmetic Surgeon
No matter your age, one of the most important decisions you can make is choosing an experienced and ethical surgeon who has your best interests at heart. If multiple surgeons advise you to wait, it may be worth taking that advice seriously — your long-term satisfaction and safety are the priority.
