I am in my mid 50’s, had 4 revision surgeries since developing cc after my initial breast augmentation and an explanation surgery to heal with no implants for awhile. I was told I’d need to wear a bra for six months and that seems excessive from what I’ve read. 5’4” 120 lb. Looking at high to extra high profile silicone implants.
