Any woman looking to enhance or improve her appearance with breast augmentation should consider her choice carefully.

There are several considerations to make when considering breast augmentation, including:

• Your overall health
• Implant type
• Implant placement
• Risks and complications
• Costs

Women in their late teens and early 20's may not be mature enough physically or emotionally to undergo the surgery. The FDA only approves saline implants for women age 18-22, for silicone breast implants, the minimum age is 22 years old.

Every woman is different physically and matures at a different rate. You should not base the success of your surgery on someone else's appearance. Also, it is important that you make the decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery for you, not to try to impress others in your life. Unless you are comfortable with the procedure and are doing it for yourself, you may be disappointed in the outcome, no matter how successful it is.

In order to minimize risks and complications and establish realistic expectations of your surgery, it is imperative to find a qualified cosmetic surgeon with years of experience with breast augmentation surgery. An experienced surgeon will carefully consider all aspects of your medical history and analyze your maturity level, which is especially important for younger women or teens.
