So Worth It

I am 50 yrs old in April 2019- My weight is around 120lbs. I am 5' 6" tall- I got breast implants at age 27. They were 225 CC Smooth Saline under the muscle (incision in armpit) - I have always felt they were not "me"- but was always self conscious about my small chest and I was very much into fitness/ body sculpting. Back then, all the images on TV and media were women with "perfect" bodies (w/ huge boobs)- and I was young and insecure- Fast forward - 2 kids, breastfeeding, 2nd marriage to a wonderful guy, and lots of life experience and wisdom later- I was Really done w/ the implants and at the point in my life that I am truly secure with who I am, and where I'm at in life. I have wanted them out for at least the last 15 years- I finally had a consultation and decided to have it done! I was a little nervous but i was so ready that I knew there was no turning back- After my consultation & exam, (Colette Stern, Asheville NC) I decided to do the local anesthesia, no capsule removal/no lift- I had been on this site a lot and that helped me make my decision as well- I have been really impressed with the reviews on here! I had my surgery on Jan 14. I was instantly ecstatic- No pain at all- Quick recovery. It is now exactly 2 weeks later and I couldn't be happier! I knew from the time I made my appointment it was the right decision no matter the outcome- I am happier with the results than I even imagined- I only wish I hadn't waited so long! I encourage anyone who is considering it- Do your research and then follow your heart- You won't regret it! It's boosted my confidence which I didn't expect to this degree. (My husband even likes the "new" me better too) :)

Here's a couple pics- One from pre surgery, one of 2 weeks post- Feel great zero pain or complications.
If anyone is even thinking of having this done, just take your time, look at the best options for your situation, and then do it! Granted, mine was pretty straight forward, had no issues with my implants to begin with, no capsular contracture either, but just can't believe how amazing everything has gone.

So far, so good- Still loving my decision- only wishing I'd done it years ago! I feel more confident than ever- Using Vit E and Almond oil on my skin and scars and they are looking better day by day- zero regrets- Loving not having to "hide" my bigger, faker looking self- no bra, no problem-
