I'm going to be 60 next month and I've wanted...
WORTH IT$6,794
I'm going to be 60 next month and I've wanted boobs ever since they were needed to hold up a swimsuit. I have learned all the tricks to camouflage the shape of the body so well that when I lost 30 lbs in 4 months this year NOBODY noticed! Not even my mother-in-law. I went from a size 14 to a size 6 people, and you can't tell? What is most noticeable are the reappearance of wrinkles on my neck and the complete disappearance of my barely B-cups - back to AA again! I put my measurements into the bra calculators online and they came up with an error message. Seriously?
Now the problem, I've brought the idea of getting breast augmentation up to my husband before, but just playfully. He's always said the pat response of a happy husband: "No, I like you the way you are." Great. It took me a couple of more months after more research to bring it up again (10-25-16), but this time more seriously. He just said "I thought we already decided no." (No, Honey, "we" didn't.) I told him I knew he liked me the way I am, but that my decision was "personal." He repeated that word, then ... nothing. I didn't prepare for silence! How can you overcome silence? I thought I would have to burst into tears and go through my litany of life experiences of living with embarrassment and self pity, but silence? He went back to reading, I went back to worrying about what he thought.
Someone on this site gave me some ideas to show him a photo of a body that looks like mine from here and show it to him. They also suggested wearing the sizing fillers around him so that he can get used to the new look. I'm healthy, 5-6" - 125 lbs - 36-28-34.5 I wear a 36A bra, anything smaller than 36 crushes my ribcage. I'm looking to have be 37-38" on top. Cup size is not the goal here, it's looking like a woman, not a boy.
I'm going to call and get a consultation set up so I need some more ideas to gently get my butt-man to be more excited becoming a boob-man! Maybe I should remind him that my cute rear-end is not going to evaporate?

Love it you go girl!!!!

Hello and congratulations on going through with it. I am 52 and my procedure will be on April 7th 2017. I too was not sure about going through it due to age and my husband's prior reactions to my mentioning having a BA. He said they wouldn't be natural. But after wanting to have a figure all of my life, I too am doing it for myself and for my 53rd birthday. I will be surprising him bc I don't want him telling me we don't have the money or I don't want him taking over and picking the boobs he wants. He could go either way!
I'm so glad to hear that your husband came around and loves them bc I know mine will. He has always noticed other women's breasts and I want him to notice mine for a change. Do you know if our "older" skin will sag sooner than others?

Thanks! I don't think our skin is any more saggy than anyone else's, the trick is to keep exercising. Good luck, I know you and your husband will love them.

Girl! 60 is the new 50! You go!!!
April 6, 2017
Thanks! I thought it was the new 40! Heck, I feel better than my daughter does at 33!
April 5, 2017
Good for you! I turn 60 in May and I am so happy I had my BA on February 10th of this year! I was a 36 A and I now a full 34/36 C small D. I went with 425cc textured silicone, tear drop, moderate projection over the muscle. Had my surgery early Friday morning and back to work half days the following Tuesday. I'm 2 months post-op and very happy with my results! Good luck!

Thanks, CG! I really love to hear from women my age. It just shows that it's never too late to get what you want. I'm really happy about it now, but it's been quite an adjustment.
April 6, 2017
Totally understand. I didn't realize when I commented that your post was from 2016...better late than never. Still having a little discomfort at times but from what I've read I'm still healing and I hope they drop and fill out a little more in the lower pole. All I know is they are the smoothest things on this body! Have a great day!

Consultation with Doctor Nov. 7, 2016
I had my first consultation with Dr. Christa Clark in Folsom. She was very thorough and easy to talk to. She answered all my questions and I didn't feel nervous at all. I had a bit of a scare, though. On Thursday 4/10/2016, I took a mammogram in preparation for the consultation. The next day they called me to say they needed another set - they thought they might have seen something. I made the appointment for the next week on Wednesday, but went to the consultation with Dr. Clark. on Monday thinking that it would be nothing, but who knows?
TODAY: The new set of mammograms were clear! Yay! I can go forward and make a first prep appointment if I choose. I asked Dr. Clark how mammograms are performed on augmented breasts. She said they take 4 shots (what I did today) and that since the inserts are under the muscle, it pushes everything out and it is easier for the machine to see. That's good!
The office took a photo that constructed a 3D model of me and we tried out 300cc and 400cc. Hey, that looks pretty good! She said the model is smaller than the actual results, but to me the front view was a lot smaller than the sizers. She told me to make the rice sizers, but I was already way ahead on that by reading RealSelf. Both the Dr. and the assistant thought 325cc would be right, but I'm not so sure. She also said because of my wide chest, a 400 would be fine, too. She also said she can tuck in my too-long nipples and take off a mole on my ear for me! That would be great.
I've gotten my husband a bit more into it and I modeled the different rice sizers for him. I made 300, 325, 350, 375 & 400. We both seemed to like the 375 the best. At least in rice 325 was about the same as my regular padded bra makes me look.
That's it for now, I'll keep this updated.

I am so happy for you. I am 59 and just had my BA in September. I am happy with the results so far. Still in the healing phase, watching the subtle changes. Clothes fit so much better now. I will be anxious to follow your journey...best of luck to you.
November 10, 2016
Yes, I'm thinking of having this done also, only because after menopause you lose so much volume. I woke up one day to deflated breasts, I feel traumatized. Life is so unfair.
November 21, 2016
I never had any volume except during the engorgement phase of nursing my two daughters, so I've never had much to speak of. Losing 30 lbs this year made me go from a barely B to an almost A, but at least they have some shape and do not sag.

You're 60?!?!? Holy moly...you look amazing! Congrats on your surgery. I'm looking forward to following your journey and seeing how everything turns out.

Getting a Horse or Puppies?
When I first got up the nerve to bring it up, I told him that for my 60th birthday I was going to get myself something I've wanted since I was a kid, and he said, "A horse?" I had to think about that, do I want a horse or boobs? It's a toss up!
Quick update, last week I playfully called my breast augmentation "my new puppies" to my husband and he seemed really tickled with that! He said that he was sure they would get plenty of attention. Now I don't have to worry about bringing it up, I can use our code word "puppies" and it's all good.
My pre-op consultation will be December 20th and the operation will be January 6th, 2017 in my doctor's brand new facility.
