    Only a consultation can determine this. During your augmentation consultation Mr. Solomos will ask you about your general medical history including details about any previous breast surgery, family history of breast disease, childbirth and lactation. The best candidates for breast augmentation surgery are healthy, emotionally stable women who are realistic about what surgery can achieve. While women of all ages can benefit, it’s usually never performed before the breasts are fully developed. If you are a smoker you will be asked to stop smoking well in advance of this cosmetic surgery. Smoking seriously constricts blood vessels and therefore decreases blood flow to a given area resulting in poor healing. Aspirin and certain anti-inflammatory drugs and other medications (discussed in DO’& DON’TS section) can cause increased bleeding, so you must avoid these. As every patient and surgeon has a different view of what is a desirable size, for breasts, it is important that you discuss your expectations frankly at the time of the consultation. Following this you will be examined and your breasts will be measured with a tape measure in order to obtain an idea of the dimensions of your breast. A discussion will take place, in which Mr. Solomos will try to encompass all the variables present- such as your age, the size and shape of your breast, body proportions and the condition of your skin. Please remember to ask any questions you may have, especially those regarding your expectations and concerns about the results of the augmentation of your breast.
