All I Can Say is I Wish I Had Done This Years Ago when I First Started Considering It! - Boca Raton, FL

I am a 63 yr. old woman, fit, and I would say stylish and young at heart. For at least the past 25 yrs. I've been talking about getting a breast aug, but for one reason or another, just never got around to it. I guess mostly because my husband always said I was perfect the way I was. Well, perhaps to him I was, how sweet, but not to myself. I'm very small and petite, 5'2" 105 lbs, and I certainly never wanted to look like Dolly Parton. I just wanted to be proportionate for my size. And so when my sister visted me from out of state a couple of months ago for a week and mentioned that she had an appointment for a consult up where she lives in CT, that was all the motivation I needed to start me thinking about it again. I asked her the cost, and it would cost twice up where she lives than it would here in Florida where I live. So I told her she should come here to have it done. So we made an appointment while she was here....and I ended up sitting in with her during her appointment and scheduling surgery for myself for two weeks later. My sister wasn't able to schedule hers right away because of work scheduling, but she is coming in this week for her surgery. It is now just about 5 wks post-op for me and I am absolutely thrilled.
I decided on silicone gel implants 350cc. The silicone implants cost a thousand dollars more but are what the doctor recommended. I also went with his recommendation on size. And I did my own research on line as well about saline vs. silicone, sizing, etc. They are not large at all, just perfect for my frame. That's all I wanted. My husband was totally against it from the beginning and during the whole process, but he was still very supportive and helped me through the first couple of days with my meds, showering, etc. But he never made a comment about how I looked, all he kept saying was that I was crazy. It took him about two weeks to come around and finally admit that I did look good!! I went back to work after a week and was back in the gym after two weeks, however, I took it very slowly. I was in a little pain, especially around the incision area, but I took it easy, and all in all, I have absolutely no regrets. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

Thank you so much for sharing! It sounds like this went really well for you and I hope for your sister, too!
Like my sister said, i have talked about breast aug my entire life so i am quite excited that i finally made the decision to have it done. i traveled from CT to FL for the surgery. i am staying with my sister for the next 5 days and she is taking good care of me!
I am about 5'4" 114 lbs. i went with 350cc silicone implants based upon the doctor's recommendation that silicone would result in a more natural feel in the long run. i told him that i didn't want a "[RS bleep] star" look and that i still needed to look professional at work and not too obvious that i had implants! My significant other was very diplomatic throughout this entire process and tried not to influence my decisions too much, but very quietly kept sending me pictures of before and after shots and then would say that it was my body my decision. he can't stop grinning, however, so i know he is happy! all in all it's been a positive experience so far.
