I'm excited yet nervous. I'm a little saggy after nursing 3 kids and recently losing weight. Not exactly sure on size yet. I'm a 34B now and can get away with a C. I'm looking to go to a D. I have pics but have not discussed with dr. yet. I am most concerned about the recovery phase. I really don't want anyone to know, especially my kids. Trying to think of what to tell them, all boys. Has anyone had that same dilemma?

The only people I told was my grown daughters and sister. They were happy for me since they known I wanted this for a long time. Funny part is my daughters were very interested. One has a child and got saggy and the other is just small and wants to go large. My son (he is only ) found out by accident due to my daughter asking if was getting excited. I have a dark sense of humor. He persisted in wanting to know, so I told him vaginal rejuvenation. He like to die. I never laughed so hard then I said actually I was getting a lift. He said thank God. I asked if he felt better and he said he rather me do that then the other thing.. Lol People that asked what surgery I had, I just told them it was personal and they didn't question any further. My recovery was only a few days and I had a lift with implants, liposuction & he fixed my dog ears from a tummy tuck I had done 5 years ago from another surgeon. Wish you the best of luck and a fast recovery. Also I only had to take pain meds for 3 days...

I see that you went to Dr.Saunders. I am 49, live in North Wilmington and am also having surgery with him in December! He is very kind and reassuring, however, I am hoping I'm not going too big for my frame. I am 5'5, 125 pounds (small frame) . We settled on 350cc's, high profile, under the muscle. The recovery period makes me a bit nervous.

I sent the dr. pics that I thought must be a D cup but he says they are a C. He asked if I was more afraid of being too big or too small and I read so many on here that wish they went bigger. I am going with 400cc which should get me to a large C or small D. I will leave bandaged, no bra. I am getting very excited to have it over with. I am enjoying reading all the posts and getting some good information.

Have you figured out what to tell your sons? I have heard other women just mention the "lift" part to their children as that can be fairly understandable for kids. How will they know there are implants?! Keep us posted!

Good idea about telling your sons "it's female stuff." :)

Congratulations on your surgery. Can't wait to see what's under your bandages. 

Thought I'd let you know I started a forum for women in their "50's" who are getting breast augmentation. I keep coming across more and more women in their 50's doing this and I think it's great. 

Happy healing and keep us posted!

I will get on that forum! I was feeling old for doing this but also have found others in my age range. I think we get to that stage where we can finally do something for ourselves and breast augmentation was not as prevalent when we were in our 20's, then we had babies and then there was the breast cancer scare so now timing seems better.

I agree with you. Besides, isn't 50 the new 30? ;) 

Feel free to direct other women your age to the forum as there are plenty of 'em out there!

So, my son is a bit younger..but I just came out and told him the truth. He was really concerned that I was having surgery and kept asking why. I would tell him its nothing bad and he would reply " people dont just have surgery for nothing mom". So I decided to explain it to him rather than him worry. It actually went well..he giggled and said "eewh you are so weird mom". And that was that! Id rather him know the truth than worry and besides, im sure he would have noticed at some point lol.
