The appearance of breast implants when you're 50, 60, or 70+ years old is highly correlated with how your breasts will naturally appear at those ages. It's impossible to predict the exact changes that may occur due to menopausal changes, similar to predicting how your belly will look after having children. However, in general, women with small breasts who undergo augmentation with relatively small implants (270cc or less) tend to show mild changes with aging compared to those with larger breasts and larger implants.

Breast implants can have different effects on each individual. While breast implants may add some weight to the breasts, the progression of sagging can vary. It is important to choose appropriately sized implants based on measurements and your unique tissue characteristics, as this can help maintain the longevity of your results. When considering breast augmentation, it is crucial to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can address your questions, explain all options, and help you determine if breast augmentation is the right choice for you.

Breast tissue changes with age regardless of whether you have implants or not. Estrogen levels decrease, causing the breasts to lose firmness and develop a saggy appearance. Larger breasts or implants may require a breast lift (mastopexy) in the future. Results from breast augmentation performed by an experienced surgeon should look natural and age naturally.

Thank you for your question. It is important to find a board-certified plastic surgeon who regularly performs procedures on older patients. Depending on your specific circumstances, you may also need to consider a breast lift in addition to the augmentation. Best of luck in your journey.
