I have interviewed some great plastic surgeons and will be making my decision on Monday September 19, 2016 with an expected day of October 2016 surgery. All my life my breasts have been a source of depression for me. I have asymmetry with one breast being a cup size larger than the other. As a girl I had no breasts at all. With age and sag I have something but it is far from attractive. I've been very nervous while contemplating this for 10 years but I am calmer now. I want this and I will be getting it done!

You may have had your surgery but if not...I think you should! I'm now 55 and I had a BA at 54. I had to have a chest X-ray and medical clearance from my medical doctor before my PS would do the surgery. But it was one the best things I did for myself. My implants are unders and I had very little discomfort; only three pain meds used and it was because my back was killing me from sleeping on it. My only advice is consider the silicone gel implants aka gummy bear. One of my main reasons that I chose this implant was because of my age. This implant has a 20-25 year life span. Regular silicone is ten. Not something I want to put myself through at 65. It's a much firmer implant, mines are soft and bouncey, and squeezable. They require no massaging at all, just let them be. But whatever you chose you'll be happy. Oh! One more thing. Make sure the cc's you choose are big enough for you. Trust me when I say go bigger. If you're wanting a C cup which is around 350 cc's go for a full which is 435 cc's which is what I am. I now where a 36 DD and I wish I was larger. When the swelling goes down and your. breast drop and fluff you will want them to be larger. But of course you always have go with what your body frame can take. Just make sure you're sure about the size. Go luck to you and keep us posted on your progress.

Thank you so much!! I did go for it. I love the idea of the gummy bears too! I kind of like the look with the little breasts but we will see in time. My page no longer tells me when someone posts so I just didn't see this. Thanks so much for sharing!!

Well tomorrow will be the day I make my decision. I am committed to going forward but keep going over the risks and possible problems in my mind. It is not a comfortable time with all that brain work going on. I am committed to the 2 stage procedure as I think it is more conservative and likely to present a better outcome. That limits me to two surgeons. One has his own surgery center and uses IV sedation as opposed to general anesthesia. This doctor is also a closer trip. I will meet with him for the second time tomorrow. I know both will be consummate professionals so it will be hard closing in on the decision.

Just go for it my lovely! I'm sure you won't regret it. You deserve to be happy! Don't let life pass you by, do what you think will make you happy. Try not to over-think all the possible scenarios of the surgery and recovery, I'm a firm believer in positive attitude helping the recovery period.
I'm due to fly to Madrid, Spain for revision breast implants and full lift in early November. I live in the UK. I'm excited, as opposed to nervous at this point.
I will continue to read about your journey and be rooting for you in respect of a speedy recovery and loving your new boobies!
Take care of yourself and make the future a happy one!

Well, I went to the plastic surgeon and my blood pressure was high. It got so high 219/109 that I went to the ER. Lots of tests, on blood pressure meds. I think I am just too scared to move forward. I meet with a new PCP today. We will see what he says.
