I'm 62 years old, 5'0, and 160 pounds. I have a scheduled date for May 10. Is 62 too old for surgery? I've read a lot of the other blogs but most of you are younger. I'm very up beat about having the surgery. I've gone from a 34B to a 40D in 5 years and still growing, even if I drop 10-20 pounds. I have a lot of shoulder and neck pain, with large digits in my shoulder. I was very impressed with my doctor and his staff. They took pictures, did measurements, and discussed his procedure . He will not remove the nipple, he will not put drainage tubes in, he will remove the fat tissue with laser surgery. Is this the normal way? How soon did most people return to work? I'm hoping to go back to work in 2.5 weeks? Is this too soon? I work as an adm assistant. I sit and work on the computer most of the time, but I can get up and walk around. I'm hoping I'll get lots of support from the group. Will be checking back in.

And 62 is certainly not too old! When I had decided to have mine the person I was most nervous to tell was my 80 year old grandma. When I finally got up the nerve she was so excited and happy for me and said she wished she was 20 years younger because she wished she could have it done. She thinks it would have helped with her back and neck pain that has gotten worse as she has aged. So my opinion is...GO FOR IT! It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks...this is for you!
Good Luck!
Did everyone also have lipo along with their surgery?
Thanks ladies for your support!
