48 and Wanting a BL for 20 Years!!! - Biloxi, MS

I had never liked the shape of my breasts... I was always shaped very nice, and have spent a big part of my life in the gym...I have a daughter who is 27 and another daughter 10, whom I breastfed for almost a year... My breasts did not dramatically change size or shape due to pregnancy, and I never got any stretch marks because of this... I am 5'4" and maintain a weight between 130 and 140..
.... I can remember at about 15 to 16 years old, reading Seventeen magazine and they had a test where you place a pencil under your breast to see if it has any sagging... I could easily hold the pencil under my breasts, and there began my unhappiness with my breasts... I always received a lot of attention because of my breasts, which remained a 36D throughout my life... I worked out a lot and was jealous of either the women who had smaller breasts and could wear cute little sports bras, or the women who had implants and their boobs didn't move!! I didn't fit into either category!!
.... I had two consultations... One at about 27 and the other at 31.. They were with the same surgeon and I was actually angry that I couldn't get just implants, but required a lift... I was unhappy, but didn't know if I was unhappy enough to deal with incisions and scarring.
.... About three months ago, a coworker told me she was going for a TT, and we began talking... I confided I had always wished for a breast lift... He was approximately 1.5 hrs from New Orleans... I met him and his office staff and immediately felt comfortable... I had just assumed they would do implants, but they stared that would not be necessary.
.... I called 3 days later and booked for February... At my pre-op the day before surgery, I just wanted to feel confident that he could get me enough upper pole fullness... The fact that I never really had a lot of that, it was important to me... I am 5 days post op at this time, and I feel great... I went yesterday to have the ACE wrap and drains removed... At this time, I can shower and really any and all soreness is gone... I am wearing my surgical bra and I am absolutely thrilled that I finally did this... I always wore really nice VS bras, and in clothes, I was always asked if I had implants... They were too big to fall out of my bra, but I haven't slept without an underwire bra since I was 21.. I will continue to post pictures of my recovery.. I will post pictures later on today.
