I am 45 yrs old, 5'8" and 185 lbs. 2 kids and weight ups and downs has left my girls a little worse for wear. I am currently a 38C ish (depending on the bra). My husband says I look good to him (he is awesome) but he knows I have wanted this for years and is supportive of my decision. He is admittedly an ass man "but" has been giving lots of input on what he thinks would look good on me. Since I am tall, broad shouldered and curvy, I can carry off larger breasts no problem. Question is, how big? ? Started out looking at 375cc mod profile. But after seeing before/ afters, I am thinking 450-475cc. I don't have a lot of upper pole fullness and they hang quite a bit. (The song "Do your ears hang low" keeps playing in my head) . The scars on my chest and abdomen are from a car accident many years ago.

Glad you found a surgeon you're comfortable with. Sometimes that's half the battle. The other half, which you have figured out, is determining the implant size. ;) I would suggest posting a few wish boob pictures in your review. That way other members can give you feedback regarding your question about sizing. Be sure to comment on other breast lift with implant reviews so they can easily find and support you too. Keep us posted!

Went in today with a friend that has implants years ago to make sure I was asking all the relevant questions and to get her opinion on size. Between the 3 of us, we narrowed it down to 375-450 cc. He will play around when he doing the lift to see what looks best.
My stomach started doing flip flops and feeling queasy as soon as we set the date/ time~ 6:00 am. That will.make it easier to not eat/ drink beforehand.
Now to start the supply list and slowly start getting ready and to get work all squared away with ny time off as I am planning on taking 3 weeks off. I work at a home improvement store and know I will have limits when I go back.

I moved from Oshkosh to Las Vegas 2 years ago. Your location caught my attention. I am also having a BA/BL plus and a TT on 11/21. I am going to be taking 2 weeks off work but I work from my home office so I won't have the physical activity you will have. I have not decided on a size yet. I keep going back and forth, do I want to go bigger or smaller. I have been saving off pictures of boobs I like and ones I don't like. I will share these with my PS so we can all be on the same page as to what I would like and what is possible. I am just excited that I will no longer have to wear my extra padded bras just to feel normal. I will probably wait until early November and then prepare a bunch of food. I was thinking about those freeze ahead meals for the crock pot, soups and casseroles. Do you have a supply list already started? I have seen so many recommendations. I don't want to miss having essentials but I also don't want to over buy stuff I will never use. Waiting is really hard right now but I am sure it will sneak up on us and be here before we know it. We can compare note and cheer each other on. Take care, Kim

Hey Kim, I have also been starting to think about meal prepping . As to the list...nithing official, just some notes jotted here and there. My PS told me NO sports bras as they "smoosh" everything. He recommended Playtex or Bali' s 17 hr bras as they are supportive, have wide shoulder straps and help give the breast a "form" to mold in to. Is your height/ weight similar to mine? Would like having a boob- buddy to compare and support each other with

That makes sense about the sports bras. Every PS is a little different in what they recommend. Sure would make it easier if they all would agree. haha I am 49 and have had 3 kids (24,26,29) and a hysterectomy 6 years ago. Add to that height gain and now loss. My poor body doesn't know to do. I am 5' 9" and holding steady at 170 (down 65 since April). I would love to drop another 10 lbs before surgery but I am not going to stress of it because I also quit smoking last week. I am going to Dr Quiroz in Mexico. I found him online and I also went to a conference in LA and had a in person consultation. I had the chance to talk to several of his patience at the conference as well. They could not say enough good stuff about him. I will be staying at the Recovery Boutique for 10 days after survey. I am sure I don't need to stay there that long but it is so inexpensive I figured why not. So the meals I am making ahead are for my boyfriend so he doesn't eat take out every day. I am starting to gather things like chapstick, breath mints, tshirts and sweat pants, loading ebooks and picking out some good chick flick movies. Dr Q says that he does not recommend a lot of supplements and vitamins. Just eat a healthy balanced diet and the body should take care of the rest. Did yours recommend anything?

Very excited for you Libra! So glad you choose an early time as I did to not have to go through the day without food which can give me a raging headache when I do! You will be fine and us @ RS will be here for you!
