47 Yr Old, 5'4", 125 Lbs, Planning on 500 Cc Saline High Profile Under Muscle - Geneva, IL

hi! im 5'6 about 180 and went with 600 hp silicone. i think the 500's look good on u. just remember u do lose some projection going under muscle. so much i wish i wouldve gone 700. im 50 so its hard to say whether or not i will redo jn a couple of yrs but if i do im going 700hp silicone. i like the feel / look of silicone

The size you chose so far look natural for you :)

I'm 52 and just did a BA. You're gonna love your boobs! I went over the muscle and am very happy with the results. I can't imagine being depressed after this. Tired and sore I can understand. But tired and sore is easier to handle with lovely boobs :)

I honestly had no pain. Ive been thru a breast reduction in june with only tylenol extra strength which is over the counter and i went thru the implants in sept and only took tylenol for 2 days. I have never experienced depression so i can say i had no fear of obtaining it after this last surgery after all i was excited to get the surgery to begin with. I honestly think that the pain meds can cause the depression since it alters ur state of mind the less time ur on pain meds the better off u r. my surge was a thurs and by saturday i was back up and around doing chores. Its all just a state of mind for some of us. I told myself that this was a piece of cake and it was. I had to remind myself to slow down come monday because i felt so good. The key here is to know going in u will experience some tightness and some soreness but you'll bounce back quick. it definitely worth the surgery, i do have a husband who drove me to and from surgery but i just slept it off the day of surgery and was up and around the evening doing stiff for myself. The quicker u get up and moving the better off u r. Any how thats my 2 cents.

I had a ba when I turned 40 and I'm now 46. It's all about you're attitude. Are you a happy person now? Positive thinker? Realistic expectations?
I wanted breasts after nursing 3 kids and was always an a cup.
I went into it not expecting to look "perfect". I knew my right breast would still be a tad lower than left. That's ok. They turned out beautiful. I knew I would be conservative on the pain meds. And I expected pain.
My recovery consequently was fabulous. I tapered and stopped the meds asap (I think that's key...not relying on the meds. A lot do so and it prolongs their recovery mentally and emotionally because they feel groggy and sluggish longer.)
I have never regretted my decision. It boosted my confidence immeasurably. They became mine. (This WILL likely not be immediate so expect to have to adapt to a foreign body for a bit.
Don't be scared. Find a great doctor and enjoy your new look!

I'm 51 and my BA in February when I was 50. My husband was overseas at the time so I too had to go through it alone for the most part. I asked my adult kids to stay with me just in case but I was fine. They stick around for 48 hours but then I told them it was ok to go home.

Regarding pain and depression, I did not have any depression and was on pain killers and muscle relaxers for 2 weeks. I had pressure and yes pain but ibuprofen, ice packs and sleep were my friends. I took my dog for a walk on day 2! I felt good enough to do it but then was hurting when I got home. Not a good idea!

My husband always teases me and says that it was the best $7000 he ever spent! He seriously cannot keep his hands off of me - which I love!

Oh, one more thought...I notice that a lot of women will post much more when they are feeling blue or in pain which is completely understandable as they are needing support from their RS sisters. The majority of us who do not post as often are back to work feeling and looking great. What I'm saying is that you may be subjected to many more bad stories because a lot of the great BA stories are going unreported.

Right there with ya sista! Have the 8k saved but no one to ask for help in recovery. Single divorced mom but not 100% sold on it. If I do it will be saline too. Just don't like seeing the complications afterwards in these RS posts

I read mpcc3's comment and found it similar to my thinking. I was 49, single mum, three girls 13-19. They hate my boobs but were great the first week. It does hurt, I was in dreadful pain for first week or two. I'm just over 3 months and still have sore boobs due to my heavy lifting job. You will need help, you will need those painkillers and although mine aren't perfectly perky and identical either, neither is the rest of me. I love my boobs, am glad I had them done and despite what my kids say about them, don't regret my decision for a minute.
Good luck

I am 54 and had mine done on July 3rd. Alot of ups and downs, but now I am past all of that. Wish I would have gone bigger. I am about a c....wish I would have went a d. Worth it all! Glad I did it. You won't know how you will feel no matter how much you read till you go thru it yourself. But in the end you will be glad you did.

I did the rice sizers, too. They were big and heavy, but i keep reminding myself that u lose some under muscle. I am going with 535cc hp because of that. You are looking great. I am having similar issues with it right now. My ba is scheduled for Jan. Been checking reviews like a madwoman. Nervous as hell. But it's our time. Cheers!
