I actually found Dr. Douglas Gervais on RealSelf doing research on breast implants. I sent a request for a consultation and he got back to me right away. They have a very informative websites with explanations on everything, before and after photos etc. I am 50 years old, 130 lbs. 5ft 6-1/2in 4 children and breast feed all of them. I have always (besides being pregnant or nursing) been small chested 34A (VS 32C) I had thought about implants on and off for decades. I finally came to a point in my life , had a husband that supported me and decided to have it done. I ended up going with 339 round silicone moderate under the muscle. That was 2 weeks ago today. Lucky for me the whole thing went really fast from the consultation to the surgery was only 8 days. I have only had my wisdom teeth removed and minor foot surgery and was so worried and nervous but excited all at the same time. If any of you reading this are scared to go thru with it because of the surgery part, all I can say is it was literally 1 stick with a needle and I woke up in recovery. So really don't do what I did and waste your time and energy worrying because it's not worth it. Dr. Gervais knew how worried I was and looked me in the eyes and don't worry everything will be fine, and it was.. Sorry I don't have any photos.

Doing pretty good, thanks for asking ! It was very hard for me to not lift anything over 5 pounds or lift my arms over my head, and just try to take it easy because that's just not me to sit around . But I tried to follow all the recovery rules so I would be up and moving asap.

I agree, it's never too late! Glad you are pleased with your new breasts and your PS. You are so accurate with your advice about not worrying over the surgery. I think we have all done the same thing, but really, that's the easiest part of the entire process. Sounds like you chose the perfect size for your body frame. We will look forward to any photos you can provide...even clothed ones! Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf!

You're so right about how easy surgery was. One needle stick & you're rolling out into recovery! I hope your recovery has been easy too!

Thanks to D is for Daphne I am trying to get some pictures on this website. This is my first attempt. VS bra 32DD was a 32C. I had 339 moderate profile silicone implants on July 3,2013. I am very happy with the results and my husband says he loves them almost every day. My goal was to be a couple cup sizes bigger and be more proportionate and I think I obtained that. Hope this will help someone. I am 5'6-1/2 and about 130 lbs.
