WORTH IT$5,400
I'm a 52 year old female who had average 34B breasts until I lost weight due to cancer surgery. Though I re-gained the weight, none of it went back for my former perky breasts which now seems like flat tires.
{edited} in Lynnwood, Washington gave me breast implants that are 280 filled to 300.
The incision was place in my arm pit so my new breasts have no scars which is fabulous!
My scars have a bit of a keloid trait to them so I am using a scar treatment for that.
What I see when I look in the mirror are the beautiful breasts I had at the age of 19.
I have a naturally small waist and now my figure is near perfect! (Any solutions for this saggy butt?).
I did develop an odd thing though which the doctor has never seen before. I developed a 3" long, 1/2" high string of scar tissue at the base of the breast where he had created new "pockets" for the new implants to sit down in to.
Massage has helps to loosen this tissue from the chest wall and make it more movable. Today, Dr. {edited} did Sonic treatments on it to soften it further. Fortunately, this is an unusual development that obviously is very rare and it doesn't show. So even if it never goes away, I'm still delighted with my new breasts and figure.

Update, September 10th 2008
The weird scar tissue I had inside the bottom of the breast cavity is now completely gone and has not returned. My breasts are now beginning to "bounce" when I walk or run. Way cool! It's like being able to swing your long ponytail! I love it.
They have dropped even a little more, looking ever more natural and they are the most awesome thing I could have done for myself.
Those in Seattle, Washington, feel free to contact me directly for my Lynnwood doctors name.

I would prefer doing a fat transplant instead of implants which may have to come out in a few years. Has anyone here done a fat transplant to breast?
June 30, 2014
I have. however, soon after I developed fat necrosis on the top of my left breast, and I'm just out of my second surgery taking the fat necrosis out. The fat transfer was done by Lu jean feng in Ohio, costed me $15 k; then $17k each for the 2 surgeries to take the lumps out. I'm left one breast way smaller than the other and a big scar right on top of my left breast. I'm forced to reconsider implant option at this point. Sad. I'm sure this is a very good procedure, just make sure to do your research choosing a right surgeon.

Yes, it doesn't last in people with quick, or even average metabolisms....it's a waste of money unless if you can afford the upkeep every couple of years....I love me implants though!!!

I have done it also. Unfortunately, mine was very problematic, after a year my left breast formed a big lump - thought it was cancer but it hurt, so it couldn't be. turned out to be fat necrosis, basically the fat cell just died for no reason. I did a surgery to take the big lump out; had a big scar right on top of my left breast, not to mention it was seriously deformed. It wasn't the end of it, though; few months later it formed another lump, and I had to go in the surgical room again... eh... I was left one breast way bigger than the other and a big concave right on top of my left breast. as for my right one, it continued to shrink - to this day, it's been 2 years and I had only 50% of the original volume.

I know!!!! I just went to her for Breast Explant surgery. She is double the price or more of other surgeons & results are less than favorable to say the least. All I can hope is she removed everything. I had a horrible experience there there and spent a small fortune to be hacked on!
June 25, 2016
You had to spend $49k???? You are 100% right about choosing the right surgeon! Going to her has been my biggest mistake in life!!! It runs like a factory line there. Everything is a facade.

You look great! I would hVe never guessed your age. Very nice perkiness and congrats to you.

Im 35 and have wanted a boob job my whole life. My husband is now ok with letting me get one. Looking at all of u women who have had one has made my getting one even more excited. I hope to get a small D. Im now a small A. So I think u can imagine how ready I am. I plan on getting one in the next few months. I will keep you all posted.

I was never really happy with my breasts but due to diabetes my weight plummeted. I went from a 34c to a 32a. 2nd consultation with my surgeon on 9th October.
My husband is generally supportive but doesn't know quite what to expect. I plan to have a surgery date soon.
Will let you know x
September 28, 2014
Yeah plz do keep me posted. I fight w my husband sometimes about me getting the boob job. He says i just want to have people look at me. I tell him its fo r me and of course I'd like him to think I look more sexy as well. We've only been married for almost 2 yrs. I just want to keep his eyes on me. LOL. He said if I want to get them go for it. I just hope I can find a good Dr to do my surgery. So keep me posted on u. Good luck!
September 28, 2014
I'm determined to do this. Not for anyone else but for me and me alone. Until I retired I spent 23 years looking after the mad sad and bad. Time for me now!
We have been married for 17 years. I know he doesn't find me as attractive now I have lost so much weight.
2nd consultation with my surgeon on 9th October Fingers crossed. 290cc in both breasts submuscular, silicone.
You are very young. Find the right surgeon for you and ensure they are qualified. Keep in touch. Other women will value your input. We all need to know the market x

Tell him you want to like what you see in the mirror and that your opinion of yourself matters. If you have more confidence, then more fun for both of you in the bedroom. Happy wife happy life....he needs to stop being insecure. If you go through with it, he won't be able to keep his hands off! At least that was my experience.
September 28, 2014
I know what u mean I feel like my husband isn't into me at times but he swares he is. He shows me so much love so I believe him. I think he is scared that when I get it that ill leave him. He is so crazy he has no idea how much I love him. But ur so right im doing it for me and no one but me. Thanks u for that.
September 28, 2014
U so right I know when I get them he will b all over me. Thanks u for reminding me of that.
September 28, 2014
Believe in yourself. Sometimes they need to be shown what they want. Little girls grow up to be women, little boys grow up to 6ft tall 12 year olds x
I dearly love my husband but sometimes he's wrong!
He's more scared than I am but is trying not to show it.
September 28, 2014
I'm glad to here that you are going through with it! Don't let him stop you :-)
You won't regret it...
September 28, 2014
Couldn't agree more. That's what these ops are all about. Change what you safely can and live with the rest.
Hope my post surgery experience is every bit as good as yours!

Had my 2nd consultation with my surgeon.
Date for my BA is 27th November. I'm awaiting a pre op date. So excited! Going for 290cc and 285cc to correct slight assemitry. Have to stay in the hospital overnight but will be able to come home the next day.
Did the rice test with my post op 32d bra. My husband was very impressed! However I didn't know you are supposed to cook the rice first oops!
Have you chosen a good surgeon yet? Don't settle for anyone you are not comfortable with even if you have to pay a bit more. I'm sure you will look wonderful and your husband will treat you like a Princess!

Love the phrase Happy wife happy life!
I am so embarrassed by the way I look I don't undress in front of my husband. If I have to I keep my back to him.
I feel so inadequate that I avoid any contact. Not doing either of us any good.
On Monday the guy that cleans my windows commented on my weight loss and asked if I was ill. Just what I needed! I need my self esteem and confidence back!
I used to be so feisty I was nicknamed the Rottweiler, feel like a mouse now. BA won't solve my problems overnight but will go a long way to restoring my former self. I wish you well.
August 21, 2015
I'm looking for a good Dr. as well.... I am 50 and well, it's time to get them gals facing 'SOUTH' AGAIN... lol I have paid my dues... I am ready to look good for ME AGAIN.. as well as for my wonderful Husband.
