I am 49, turning 50 next April and having a hard time with that "number". I have 3 grown kids and have always wanted to have a BL/BA since my first child at 18 I went from am A (or maybe even an AA) to a DD. That was the pattern each time! Talk about total deflate and super sag! So since 18 I have never had good boobs and always wanted to have it done but it was either no funds for it, no time or not the right time. Anyways this is me time now and I am going for it!

That is awesome! Your story is so similar to mine, as far as reading of the Brethren child care and so forth.

Oh that is so great I love seeing that it could be somebody that's my age everybody's in their thirties it seems even though we also share similar stories. Such as the children have ruined our boobies. I'm actually excited to go next week for pre-op to do more sizing I'm not really sure if I should go moderate or high and I'm going to let the doctor make the final decision. I have waited a very long time for this and now you're right it's me time.

And if that kind of came out crazy it's because I'm outside so I'm just dictating and the sun is in my face so I can't really see the screen very well I will keep following you as well and we can compare stories

Your story is so similar to mine! I too will be 50 in April. I too have the saggy breasts after nursing. LOL this offer 20 years and now is my time. In fact I just had my surgery yesterday. Good luck and keep us posted

How was your surgery. What did you wind up getting?? Can't wait to see them!!!!
August 12, 2016
I had a lift and augmentation. I wanted to stay as close to 36dd as possible. The Dr. ended up planting 425cc on both sides
I've not been able to take picts yet but will soon. Dr. and the staff here I had my surgery. Not going to lie, the first 24 hours were rough! The Dr. had to cut more muscle on the right than he first planned.

Sorry for the slip ups in my commenting. The Percocet has me flying! lol

Right now we have it at 405cc under Inspira Moderate Profile Plus. However I may see if he can go up a little because I know once I am under the muscle it takes away from the size a bit but 25% I think. How tall/weight are you? I am 5'5 barely lol and my weight ranges from 124-130. Cant wait to see how you look and I am hoping you had a restful night! One of the other women here her "Preston" has been so helpful too! She looks amazing!!!
August 12, 2016
I'm 5' 3", 178 pounds. I'm starting to feel human again and had a good night's rest. That being said, I'm still suffering from zingers in my right breast. To be honest, the lipo hurts the worst so far. Building up my courage to take a look! lol
User Avatar
August 12, 2016
I hear many of the ladies talk of that feeling as well as morning boob and side boob! Are you able to be up and around? I know that the lipo puts a whole new spin on it!!!! One of the ladies here told me peppermint tea (smooth move) helps with any constipation that may occur with taking the percs too.....Cant wait to seeI am sure you look beautiful!

So since everyone is so upfront and putting it all out there I figured what the heck I have to let go of some of my modesty lol. Obviously these are the before's...not filling out favorite work outfits, sagging in the nightgown, totally flat in a sports bra, extra padding in VS to make them look normal in clothing and then my first try on session at the PS

405cc Inspira by allergan, moderate profile plus under the muscle. Thats what it is now, may change when i go back in on the 17th :) Thank you for the feedback and the abs are an illusion that must have been cast off somehow by lighting because there is no definition there lol but thanks for the smile!

You will be so glad you did it. One thing I wanted right away on the ride home from surgery was something cold. So make sure your care person has a cold water or Sprite! It tasted so good. And have lots of favorite movies, tv shows to watch the first couple days because you get a little bored doing nothing for three days. Smooth tea helped me for constipation due to the pain meds. Start taking lots of vitamin C, and someone told me eat pineapple a lot because it helps with healing. Happy for you

I am very excited and anxious! Thats good to know, I will have them prepared, its probably going to be both my mom and my bf. I read alot so I have downloaded and pre ordered some books for my kindle and maybe this is when I will finally use the netflix account. Is the tea called smooth tea? I was just talking about the constipation with the pain meds with my coworker and she suggested taking a stool softener when i take a pain med but I like the tea idea. I drink a Yogi tea daily called Peach Detox so maybe that will also help. I have heard alot of suggestions on what to eat prior, flax seeds, omega 3's lots of greens, coconut water. So I have been using my nutribullet daily putting all of the above into it and I will add pineapple to the mix! Love pineapple! I am trying to keep the weight down because the girls may weigh a pound or so each I am guessing. My plan is to stay at my moms for a few days after because she lives on a lake and it is very tranquil and relaxing and she is the better cook :) I hope the month flies by!

Yeah it's called smooth move tea. It's peppermint. I found an organic one at target.

I read a ton and I was too out of it to read!!! I downloaded like 5 new books and never read one. Trust me hahah. Start a series or something!!

But seriously you sleep soooo much the first three days. I loved it!

I love all of these suggestions!!! I guess I will have to binge watch a series that I never had time to watch!!!! I will look for the tea!

Depends on what pain meds he gives me, if they are percs i will be out....vicodin will make me drowsy but not put me out like percs...but vics may be less constipating. I will see what he suggests at the time, I know that he gives you the script ahead of time so you can fill it.

I wasn't constipated at all. Take the percs!!! I stuck with broth, jello and crackers for the first few days. But the tea made it even better.
User Avatar
August 5, 2016
Haha! I found the tea at the grocery store but it was chocolate. I love chocolate but not sure in a tea. I will continue my search for peppermint! I figured soups crackers and jello as well. Of course I picked a holiday weekend to be out of commission but I figured I would have an extra day off to recuperate. How long did u have to take the percs? I have to argue a case 10 days after surgery. I don't need to be slurring. But excited to wear a new suit to court and maybe distract the judge lol

Oh you will be fine 10 days out. I was off of them by day 3! I'm on day 9 and feel like I have always had them. Took my kids shoe shopping and they all got haircuts. I had lots of help but still. It's nothing

one week until pre op! Should I bring pics of wish boobs?

User Avatar
Newimprovedboobs16
changed my profile pic to the droopers! Was really hard for me to do but....its done. I am super excited for my pre op next week and not 100% sure on what to expect. Try more sizes? Make sure this is what I want? Talk about the anesthesia? All I am positive about is that I will be paying for my procedure and then I am almost there! Did I say how excited I am to finally be having this done?!

Yeah bring your wish pics and I even brought extras on surgery day to remind him what I wanted. Ask about anesthesia. My anesthesia dr was great and convinced me to to take Valium the night before and day of. I highly recommend. I had all my kids drug free but this helped me relax. Excited for you!!! Make sure you tell him exactly what you're looking for. And I heard some women bring in pics what they really don't want!!!

Haha! Yes I know what I dont want but I am already starting with the boob greed!!! You have been so helpful!!! I bought my peppermint tea, lots of dresses that either are like a tube top that I can step into or are button up, my wedge pillow and my airplane pillow! I am going to BJs to get a big bottle of ex-strength tylenol because I want to be off the percs quickly! So how would you describe what everyone here calls morning boob? or side boob? Is that something you experienced?
User Avatar
August 11, 2016
I felt like they hurt a little more in the morning and they look the best at night. The button down or a zip up pajama I loved wearing at night. You will do great!! You don't want to go small or you will have boob greed.
