Can a 46-year-old woman have breast augmentation?

Yes. Currently, there are mainly prosthetic breast augmentation, autologous fat breast augmentation, and composite breast augmentation.

1. Breast augmentation with prosthesis is suitable for a wide range of people, including people with flat chests, small breasts, and sagging and sagging breasts. The advantage is that it can be formed in one step, and the breasts will be taller and look better when wearing clothes.

One thing that needs to be emphasized is that implants cannot help form cleavage. Cleavage refers to the gap between female breasts. It is not possible to form a cleavage by making two prostheses close enough. Doing so will look very fake, cause serious complications, and be difficult to repair.

After prosthetic breast augmentation, the recovery time will be relatively long, about 2-4 weeks, and the activities of the upper limbs will be restricted.

2. Autologous fat breast augmentation is suitable for women with a certain breast shape (large breast base and a certain capacity) and sufficient fat in other parts of the body.

The advantages of autologous fat breast augmentation are that it is very soft, feels good, and has a natural shape; the recovery period is short and there are few restrictions on physical activities after surgery.

The disadvantage is that some fat will be absorbed after it is injected, so multiple injections are required. It is necessary to strictly control the amount of fat injected each time. If too much is injected, the fat will liquefy and become necrotic, which will not only affect survival, but also easily form induration.

3. Compound breast augmentation: It combines the advantages of prosthesis and autologous fat, and is especially suitable for Oriental women. Some women have small breasts and want a taller breast shape. After implanting the prosthesis, you can then perform fat injection on the breast skin to increase the thickness of the skin and make it softer to the touch. Fat injection is more flexible and you can inject it wherever you want it to be fuller. For example, some people want a deeper cleavage. Inject more fat into the inner chest.
