When my 25 year old daughter got implants this past July she could not have had more support from me than she got. While I've always been pretty flat, she was flatter. Within weeks after her surgery her confidence soared. I'm not too concerned with my self confidence, but I'm tired of wearing padded bras. And bathing suits are the worst of all to wear.
I'm a bit nervous about having two foreign bodies implanted, but other than that I'm ready.

I was nervous too, yet 2 1/2 weeks PO, they already feel like me. I do have some occasional soreness at my creases, but I think that is normal healing stuff. I had mine through the armpit and love that I have no scars on my breasts, and the armpits are healing nicely. I had two differest sized breasts so it was great going with saline so that my doctor could add until they were even. You will love your results, just do research so that you go in prepared. Good luck!

Yay! Good for you. Welcome to the journey.

Thanks ladies! I've been partly uncomfortable with my upcoming BA surgery because my 25 year old daughter just had the same procedure in July, and I can't even articulate why I feel that way. I think it will help for me to hear other 50+ year old women who have decided to make such big leap. I'm anxious, but I'm sooo much more eager.

Today is the first anniversary of my breast augmentation, and I'm just as happy with my new body as I was when I stumbled out of the hospital after surgery. My new perky breasts are larger than I thought they'd be, which is perfect. They are proportional with the rest of my body, so the surgery was a complete success. The only downside, which isn't much of one, is that I had to buy lots of new clothes! I can't believe I waited so long to get it done

This morning, my sweet husband asked me if I was getting nervous about my upcoming surgery, and I couldn't have replied faster than I did. NO! I'm not the slightest bit nervous about the surgery itself. What my thoughts seem to focus on is telling people why I'll be under the radar and home bound for a week. I'm 51 and am imagining the same scorn I got from people when I ended my previous unhappy marriage. As I mentioned earlier, my 25 year old daughter had BA in July, and I remember how defensive I was when people inquired. My step-daughter has already labeled me as superficial, and I think if she knows what I'm up to she'll have some (totally off) confirmation. And I know, I'm doing this for me. I've always felt unfinished, having waited for my buds to develop until I had children. They didn't; even after 3.

The night before my BA

essie in montana
This is such a surreal time for me. I'm 51 and about to have BA in the morning. I can't shake the thought that I'm a bit old for this, yet I'm equally grateful that my life of hating my body, and my flat chest is about to change abruptly. Tomorrow. I'll go to sleep tomorrow night not having my protruding ribs be the biggest feature of my whole torso.
On a lighter note, my husband of two years is adorable. He's never cared or commented on my flat chest, but he's excited to bring me shopping for new clothes, lingerie, and bathing suit soon. He lives to make me happy. Fingers crossed and prayers said as I drift off to sleep.
