I've never really had any breast at all, except...
WORTH IT$4,950
I've never really had any breast at all, except when I was pregnant. What little I did have, my 2 kids sucked right out of me. After the nursing, there was just no time or money. Now I am 50 years old and ready to do something just for me. I plan on making this a very special time. My daughter, 23, is completely supportive and encouraging. It's been a private joke between us for years, she's a double D and has been since grade school. I have taken 10 days off from work. My surgery is scheduled for Friday, May 9th. I have gone a little crazy in getting prepared but I've only done things I have been wanting to do for a long time. I bought a BluRay player and new flat screen TV for my bedroom and had it mounted on the wall. ;)
Anyway, I am not even a barely there A, if there were a negative -AAA, that would be me. I am hoping for a full C cup, but I don't know what cc's. I do know I'm going with silicone and under the arm incision.
I will post pics, as soon as I figure out how. I read one woman's profile and saw her pics. She did before, during and after. It helped me so much, if I can do that for one person, I want to. I also wanted to be here for other women in my age group. So many are young women, I thought it might help for women of my age to know they weren't the only ones.
I have been with my plastic surgeon for many years because of skin cancer, so I am completely confident and comfortable with him. He even gave me a frequent flyer discount!
This place has been a real blessing for me. I'm not married or even involved with anyone so the only person that knows is my daughter. It's great to have a place to talk so openly and hear about other's experience. I'm really excited and counting the days. 39 to go.

Good for you for making the decision to do this. It was very hard for me to make the choice - waited 2 years from my first appointment then it hit me. I'm doing this for ME and I certainly don't want to wait any longer to feel better about myself. Good luck - you will be happy :)

Thanks momtoone. I'm glad you didn't wait as long as I have. I wish I'h been able to do this years ago but........now the time is here and I'm so excited, I'll probably drive you all nuts for the next 35 days. Yes, I'm still on the side that counts down days.

You didn't give your height, weight, narrow or broad chest (bwd).
April 13, 2014
Then I think you could go 400cc for sure, maybe 450cc moderate plus . Just make sure the diameter of implant is close to your breast width. Is there a
reason you want incision under arm?
April 13, 2014
Yes, I my scars keloid really bad so he suggested under the arm. Though another lady here made some good points about why not to. So I am going to discuss it with him again. I think I am going with 400. I did the rice sizers and that seems to be the right amount.
April 17, 2014
Can you tell me where you got the 400cc and 450cc wish boob pix from? I like them and would like to see more shots. Thanks! I am debating between 400cc saline mod profile Max filled to 420cc, or the 450cc.

BTW Vicotria Secret has a bra that adds two cups sizes. I am wearing one everyday to see how I feel with 36DDD boobs. They look good and defiantly not too big for me.

I'm sorry. I just went through my history and can't find the site. I typed in After pics of Breast implants when I was looking. I'm not sure if you can copy mine, but your welcome to. If you know a way I can send it to you, I will. Thanks for the suggestion about the bra. I may go have a look. Was it expensive?
April 17, 2014
Thanks for checking. I did save the images. I am so excited for my new boobs. I have been talking to my surgeon about it since June 2013. The bra was around $55. You can even just try it on and snap a few selfies. I like wearing it though, to live in bigger boobs and see how I like it.
April 17, 2014
I'm almost certain I have decided on 400. My PS said I could easily carry that size and not look fake. A new community was started as couple of weeks ago and I think you would be such a valuable addition. Please check it out and consider posting there. You are such an inspiration.

Hi Red! Kudos to you for making the decision to do this. I am just about to turn 47 and I kept thinking "what am I waiting for?" I am not some one who grows old gracefully and I am always told I look like I'm in my 30's. But it's easy to hide or flaws under our clothes. I scheduled my surgery and kept coming up with reasons to cancel, until i had to Pitt on a bathing suit and go to the beach. Omg! All i wanted to do was stay covered up. That is no way to live. I finally got my mommy
makeover and am now on post op day 11. This girl is going to rock that beach someday soon! Lol! I got 350cc's but I already had alot of breast tissue. So I am sure 400 or 450 would be fine. I am sure you will love the new "girls". You are right about being on here to help other women in our age group see that they are not alone. Good luck to you. Im sure u will look awesome!
April 18, 2014
Thank you. I haven't had a bathing suit on in more years than I can count and I live 10 minutes from the beach! But there was no way to put on a 2 piece, none would stay down, kept raising up to my chin. I could not fill out a 1 piece. To get it long enough in the torso, I would need the rice sizers to fill the top and I have never stuffed my bra. So no swim suit for me. But this year....watch out! My daughter is almost as excited as I am to go shopping for pretty bras and swim suits. She has been such a big support through out this whole process. I got to say, my hats off to you. You have really set the bar for the rest of us. I love your attitude. Like you, I am not growing old gracefully. I will fight it all the way. Who knows, next year I just might do a face lift!
April 18, 2014
Thanks! I posted a side by side before and after pic today if you didn't get to see it. In just 11 days and I look so much better. Now to get to the point where I feel like my self again. Its amazing how just simple tasks can tire me out. I have to keep reminding myself to slow down. But like you said I just can't wait to go shopping for bras, swimsuits, and cute clothes. We girls are gonna rock it! :)
April 19, 2014
You will definitely rock cause honey you look fantastic! Slowing down............I think that's a problem for all of us. What is it about women, we think we have to be the one to do it all, take care of everyone and find it so difficult to let others take care of us for even a short period of time.
