I am scheduled to undergo ba with Dr. Seckle on July 3rd. I actually scheduled a consult with him after finding many positive reviews here on realself. He has a wonderful bedside manner, and whenever I've had a question, I have received prompt responses through email. He suggests 350cc Mentor Modified Plus implants. I am currently a 34 a cup and desire a full, natural looking c cup. I worry about going too large. I have almost called the office several times this past week to tell them I'd prefer to go with 300 to 325 cc, but I'm nervous about doing that as well because whenever I see another's review who went with those sizes, I notice that they comment that they wish they went a little larger. I have pretty much decided to go with Dr. Seckle's expert opinion.
I still can't believe I am doing this. Since I was a teen I have always wanted nice, full breasts. I even ordered a cream from the back of Cosmopolitan Magazine that promised if rubbed on your breasts, your breast size would increase. lol It didn't work obviously. I eventually grew to accept my fate, got married, had kids, and now even grandkids. I like the shape of my breasts and I'm even proud that they are still perky at my age. (Did I mention I am 50?) I really don't need to do this. But, I am at a point in my life where I can focus on myself and I have the money, so why not. You only live once!

So funny reading your review! I, too, got my implants at the age of 51! My friends thought I was nuts. But, I breast fed my kids and my boobs were flat and droopy. So, like you, bite the bullet and got implants. I’m so happy with my profile! Did you post any after photos?

I got mine at 45 and undoubtedly my friends and family wonder why now? I don’t care—I spent the last 30 years caring too much that people would think I was too vain if I did it. I remember that cream! I ALMOST ordered it but my mom said no, she told me it was a gimmick and a waste of money. I was told they’d eventually grow like my sis’ and mom’s boobs. NOPE; so, I bought them! Yay us!!

Yay! I’m the Same. Just realised it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks!!

I held off for the same reason. I was always too worried about what others would think. One of the better things about getting older, I guess, is not caring about what others think anymore.

I’m 53, and first got subglandular implants at age 24. They lasted until last May, 2018! Loved them, 300cc. I never had kids

Wow! They lasted a long time! Did you decide it was time for a redo or did something happen? I'll have to check out your page.

The most useful reviews had lots of pictures at each stage, so I wanted to add a few before pictures. I never minded the shape of them. I just wished that they were full enough to fill out a bra or bathing suit.

Yes, I had surgery on July 3. I am approaching the 2 week mark. I felt awesome yesterday, and I overdid it a bit, do just relaxing and watching Netflix today.

Hello! I just stumbled on your review which is really helpful for me because I’m also seeing Dr Seckel, my surgery is next Tuesday! I’m agonizing over size bc I am a really small framed person, a size 0 or 2, and I am hoping for a very natural looking result. My hope is that my new breasts will be proportionate for my body and will even me out a little (I have a little tummy bulge from two pregnancies). When I see people’s aftwr photos I always like the look of a true tear drop shape, where the breast sits fairly low and hangs over the breast crease a little, heavier in the lower pole. When I tried on the sizers in the office I thought I preferred 250 but now I think I should go st least 275. Your results look great so I’m really encouraged going into this with the same surgeon you had!

I really like him. He knows what he is going. Show him wish pictures and he'll be able to tell you which size implant you will need.

That’s great to hear! I haven’t had the surgery yet but he has been nothing but wonderful so far in the pre op process and his staff has been very accommodating too.
