Silicone breast implants was worth it: Great until breastfeeding 3 and 18 years later

I had silicone under the muscle in 1989 ($2,500)
They were great... Got them after one child. When breastfeeding went from an
A/B cup to DD, so afterwards was a shock. The implants were the perfect solution and brought me to a C/D cup. It was well worth it when I had it done and for the next 7 years until baby 3 & 4.

Now, 18 years later and Breastfeeding 3 more.... I now need a lift. I am not sure I want the scars, but my I only have about 1 inch of skin visible under my nipple :-(

I wonder if I had waited on the implants if I could have just had the implants now without the Full lift and horrible scars....
