Question 1

what's the legal age to get breast surgery?

Accepted Answer

No Age Restrictions: Theoretically there are no age limits, either too young or old.  Most surgeons would not do a cosmetic breast augmentation prior to age 18, but there are conditions where reconstruction with implants would be done earlier.  The only other "legal" limit is one suggested by the fda  for silicone gel implants.  They recommend gel implants for women age 22 or older.  Why 22?  I have no idea.

Question 2

Question 3

how does the kangana ranaut breast surgery work?

Accepted Answer

Can't find report: While there are many gossip papers to suggest that she has had breast enlargement surgery and the photos support this guess, it remains a rumor. If true, there are a variety of methods to accomplish this but a silicone implant place under the muscle through a breast crease is the most likely approach.

Question 4

when after breast surgery can i go back to work?

Accepted Answer

Depend: Is it just lump removal or mastectomy with or without node dissection. All can influence the time back to work. In general, beat surgery is not painful and quicker recovery. If it plastic surgery it can be quicker.

Question 5

how old do you have to be to get breast surgery for down-sizing?

Accepted Answer

No special age: This surgery is done when the problem is evident, girls as young as 14 have had it done, personal preference is useful here. Discuss with the surgeon.

Question 6

do breast surgery or reduction kill ?

Accepted Answer

Very very low odds: It's possible to have a rare complication - like a major anesthesia mishap, a drug reaction, a pulmonary embolism that could be lethal after any kind of surgery.  But in well-trained hands, in an accredited facility, the odds of death from a breast reduction would be very small indeed.

Question 7

how long after breast surgery is radiation?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Radiation may be given after a lumpectomy procedure. If chemotherapy is considered usually radiation will be given after completion of chemotherapy. In case of partial breast irradiation (brachytherapy), it is given shortly after lumpectomy whether or not chemotherapy is given. If radiation is needed after a mastectomy procedure, it is given after  wound healing or after chemorx if chemorx needed.

Question 8

what is the age limit to have breast surgery?

Accepted Answer

Breast Implant Age: Breast implant regulations can vary state to state; but in general patients can get saline breast implants at age 18 years and older.  Patients must be 22 years of age in order to get silicone implants.  This age restriction was placed by the fda upon the most recent approval by the fda regarding silicone breast implants. Unsure for the age restriction by the fda.

Question 9

what is the estimate cost for male breast surgery?

Accepted Answer

3-7K: It depends on if you need liposuction and/or direct excision. 

Insurance may pay for a consult with a plastic surgeon. Otherwise, consider a consult with a local surgeon who offers free cosmetic consults. 

Also, many plastic surgeons will have prices listed on their websites.

Question 10
