39 Year Old Getting Boobs for Her 40th. Chicago, IL
ORIGINAL POST
I am a 39 year old, 1 grown child, 5'6", about...
WORTH IT$7,000
I am a 39 year old, 1 grown child, 5'6", about 145lbs, 36A..BARELY! So my Birthday gift to MYSELF is some BOOBIES!!..I always said I wanted some, and a few weeks ago i realized that I did not want to go into my 40's FLAT CHESTED. I am BEYOND TIRED of wearing PADDED BRAS, PADDED THIS, PADDED THAT...not being able to wear certain low cut, or off the shoulder tops or halter tops..its just a pain having to have my dresses altered, due to being so small up top. So I am scheduled for surgery with Dr Eckhardt on April 19th, and saying I CANT WAIT is the UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY!! I CANT WAIT...I will have a couple of months to recover before my Birthday. So I'm hoping that all pain, tightness or discomfort will be gone by then and they have dropped and softened....size I'm going for is 375cc round silicone..I wanted to be FULL, but not too big. One, I don't really want to be OBVIOUS that I even had implants..and two, I don't want to have to buy new tops/clothes, and three, I want them to look VERY NATURAL..so that should put me at a C cup range..maybe even a SMALL D, which I don't want, BUT that all depends on where I buy my bras.( like at VS, I'd be a D For sure!)..but Full B, C range is all I really want. I go for my Preop in a week and a half, so I'll try on sizers again and then decide. I have several pics that I will show Dr Eckhart of what look I'm going for. I know the gummie bears are growing in popularity because they are the 'newest' thing, but I like the feel of silicone ALOT BETTER. And I feel that it will give me more of the natural bounce and jiggle and round shape that I want for a little cleavage without the need for a push up bra...so needless to say, I am SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!! JUMPING OUT MY SKIN, but trying to wait it out. Still have 23 days left..so don't want to drive myself CRAZY until the BIG DAY!!????

I'm going for the same more natural look. I'm having 350cc Ideal saline implants this sunday...so excited!! The Ideal implant has more of a feeling of silicone and no MRI required for checkups. Good luck with your countdown and surgery. Follow me for more reviews :)

Oh wow!! Never even heard of them!! I will have to look them up and read up on them. Very odd that I haven't come across them during ALL MY RESEARCH!! l will definitely follow u. I am curious to know more about them and how u like them..I have until Wednesday to make my decision on size and implant type! Thanks!

If you check out my PS website he has info on them. Here is the link: http://torontosurgery.com/ideal-implant-toronto/ They feel a lot more like silicone than the other saline options because of the baffle system inside. The shell is still silicone as all implants are but this inside is filled with saline in two different chambers. It's really Ideal!! I am having mine under muscle to have them feel more natural too. They only come in one profile Med + to HP, so not med but not HP it is really a more ideal of the two. There is also a You Tube video from the doctors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvKPbcvjwqI
My PS has been putting them in for many months and highly recommends them and thinks they will eventually replace basic saline implants. Hope this helps in your decisions

I am going to check with my surgeon and see if he offers them. Obviously they are not mainstream (yet), because I haven't heard a SINGLE THING about them before now! So I hope he does! Or has access to get them, for patients who really Want them. But since they weren't mentioned during my consultation, I'm doubtful that he does.
March 31, 2016
I hope he can give you some info and offer the choice. Good luck! I am "boobs for 41" this year one week before my bday. Yayyy for bday ta tas!! :)
March 31, 2016
Lol!! I wanted mine BEFORE 40!!! I am SOO ANXIOUS!! I can't believe I'm REALLY ABOUT TO DO THIS!!! 18 DAYS!!!!
March 31, 2016
And Yes. I Pray he atleast offers that option...and not at too high of a 'Premium'
March 31, 2016
It was a higher premium for me but maybe US pricing will be better than mine in Canada. :)

I found a surgeon in the Chicago area named Karol Gutowski. So I'm pursuing having him do my surgery. The cost wasn't that much more. I'll keep you updated!
April 2, 2016

19 Days til B-Day...BOOBIE DAY!!
Well I am down to 19 days before the BIG DAY. I AM GETTING SO ANTSY!! I bought a sports bra at Tjmaxx for 9.99. Its a size Small, which I am leary about, but its Very Stretchy and Soft. The medium would have been too big, I feel. And since it zips in the front, I think it'll be fine..and of course, I won't need or WANT the PADDING!!

IDEAL SALINE IMPLANTS??
I recently found out about IDEAL SALINE Implants by another member. I just quickly read up on them. Before now, i had NEVER even Heard of them, but they Sound Fantastic!! So I am curious if anyone else out there has heard of them or used them, and if they are offered in the US, price, etc...HELP!! My pre-op is Wednesday and I will have to make my final decision then. Im not in an area where I can call my surgeons office right now to see if he offers them. (Dr Eckhart). So any info will be Great! Thanks!
