Question:

I have been flat chested for too many years. I am now 53 years old and back on the dating scene. I think men are more attached to women who have larger breasts. Is this a good enough reason to have breast implants? Will a man be able to tell that I have had one?

Answer:

Well, I always tell patients that the best reason to get a breast augmentation is if you, yourself, desire to have a breast augmentation. It is a very personal decision but patients who have done it for other people have usually been very unhappy and dissatisfied after they have had the procedure. A breast augmentation done correctly means that the patient will have a very natural look and it should not be readily obvious that the patient had a breast augmentation.
