Looking Forward to a Nice Shape Again -Denver, CO
I finally made the decision a couple of months ago...
I finally made the decision a couple of months ago to reverse the gravity changes of my breast. I'm really excited and Thursday is the day! At first hubby did not want me to do this, but I think he has finally warmed up to the idea. It's not my size that bothers me as I am a full C cup, but it's that after kids and just life, they don't "hold up" to what they used to. The doctor told me I will be a solid D when all said and done. I just had lipo on my abs and flanks on 2/22, and I am very happy with that, so getting this done will complete the areas that have been bothering me.
My mom passed away at the age of 58 from breast cancer, and she had had saline implants at the age of 38. She was diagnosed when she was 48, but because of the implants the tumor was only suspected at age 43 and she never followed up until age 48 when it was found that she had cancer. I do believe she would still be alive today had she taken care of the tumor right away. I am 52 and in my early years I said I would never get implants because of what happened to my mom, but now a days many more pictures are taken if a woman has implants and I am very faithful about having mammograms every year.
My husband forbids me to post any pictures so I can’t show my before and after photos, but I’ll update this post the day after my surgery or later depending on how I feel to share my experience. :-)
Tomorrow is the day! I'm very excited to finally...

I am now one day post op. It hurt like hell right...
I just took 1-1/2 Vicodin so it's nap time once again for me.

Thank you for sharing your personal story on RealSelf. So sorry to hear about your mom, but I'm happy to hear you are able to move forward with your goals. As a daughter of a breast cancer survivor mother, I can relate to your concern about implants. Staying on top of my annual mammograms with my implants, gives me the confidence to not worry. Looking forward to hearing the details of your pre op appt!
