I am 42 yo and I have booked in for a breast lift and a small reduction at the end of May 2013. I have hated my breasts since the day they started forming. Now since having 2 children and having gained and lost 25kg's 4 times they are now dreadful (in my eyes). I have read many review on this site and watched a few youtube videos on the procedure which has helped me with my decision to have the surgery. My plan is to update you with my experience over the next few months and hopefully you will be able to make a decision on your choice whether to have the surgery done after seeing my results. If anyone has any advice for me I would greatly appreciate it.

My breast looked a lot like yours. I had a breast lift with implants on April 17, 2013. My surgery went well & I love my new look! I chose to have an implant for extra lift & fullness. The only problem I'm having is finding the right bra for recovery. I wish I had had this surgery years earlier! I wish you the best. If you have any questions please ask. Good luck

Hi Jennlyn. I am happy to hear you are happy. I have not chosen to have implants as my Dr assures me I have enough breast volume to leave me with a good result. Apparently I get a bra whilst I am in hospital so i am leaving that up to the clinic. My biggest concerns is being able to attend to my boys after the surgery and how soon I can get back to the school run and not inconvenience too many people. I am so happy that i am finally having this done - I wish the surgery was tomorrow!

I was a DD before surgery as was assured I did not need an implant. After talking to 4 of my friends who has had the surgery. They recommended I have the implants. Im 35 with my age there just will not enough fullness after the lift. I have 3 children, 13, 8, & 3 years old. It took me a full week before I was ok enough to 100% take care of my children. My surgery was 2 weeks ago today & Im still sore with little discomfort. Like I said earlier I feel it was so worth it!

I forgot to include my details...I am 165cm (5ft 5in) 61kg's (I think that is about around 135 lb) and i am currently wearing an Australian size 12E bra (I can't convert that to US but it would make me a US size 8 in clothes). Any luck in 3 weeks I will be a 12C or 12D. I am 42 yo and have 2 small boys and a gorgeous husband who has encouraged me all the way.

I only have 10 sleeps to go until my surgery and I wish it would just hurry up as it is all I am thinking about. I love this site as I find myself wasting many hours just reading other peoples journeys. It makes me laugh how different some of us are....Me, well I just want to be a C cup and have my nipples put back to where they should be. Others are having the complete opposite surgery to me and are aiming for a cup size that is E or greater. Neither is right or wrong, it is just funny how different we all are - the grass is always greener like they say!!
