WORTH IT$8,500
I am a young looking 49 yr old 5'5" 146 pounds. I have finally saved up enough money to get breast implants. It took me forever to save and now I feel like I've missed the boat on this :( Am I too old now to get them? Did anyone feel this way prior to getting them? I have my consultation in 2 weeks. I want saline overs in the 700cc range. I plan on having surgery very soon after my consultation. Hopefully in june. I keep staring at my hard earned cash and keep hoping I am not wasting my money because of my age. What is wrong with me? Maybe mid life crisis.

You are not too old for breast augmentation! I'm 47 and had mine done 8 weeks ago. I'm so happy with the results and have thought several times that I had it done at just the right time in my life. Breasts change so much over the years that I'd tell the young girls to wait. Instead having BA in your 40s or 50s seems just right. By that time you've gone through children and hormone changes, and gravity has taken its toll. I encourage you to feel good about this choice and enjoy.

I'm 55 and 1 week p/o. I love them so happy I did. I know feel beautiful outside and in. I probably would not of appreciated them as much had I got them years ago. I got 700cc and 750cc , UHP and I know that sounds like a lot but it fits my body of 5'8", 170lbs. Since I've been wearing VS bombshell bras for a while nobody even knows. Best of luck to you!

If 49 is to old then I'm really in trouble. Four weeks post op tomorrow and loving life. 590 cc, B to D/DD 5'2" 150 lbs. We also have a forum for About to 50 and Older, it's a great group...and most of us think were young too. (Even if my body tries to disagree some days, lol) I definitely did not waste my money. I have a great doctor who helped make a childhood dream come true. I hope yours do to!

You're very welcome! I look forward to checking back in a couple of weeks to see your thoughts after your consultation. I was driving this morning thinking about how to describe what a beautiful experience this has been for me. The surgery and care from my doctor and his girls was better than a week at a fancy spa with all the care and attention I received. Except I got to go home with boobs instead of a new robe. I hope you find a team that make you feel just as cared for.

You are never to old to want to feel Beautiful. If this is something you have always wanted to do then do it and don't feel bad about it :) just make sure you do your research on the doctor who will be doing your augmentation. Best of luck!

You are never too old to feel more confident! Do it for yourself!!! My mother is older than you and when I graduate college I plan on getting hers done. It has nothing to do with age and all to do with loving the skin you are in. Just wait till you talk to your doctor. He/she will reassure you!

Update on Breast Aug Consultation

User Avatar
ggmcgeeMay 14, 2015

Hello! I finally had my consultation today after waiting 6 weeks. It was like a whirl wind because one minute I was doing the consult and the next I was putting down payment and scheduling surgery! It is scheduled in 2 weeks on June 1 so I have no time to fret about it. I am normally an anxious person so this is good that I scheduled so soon. I now just have to be concerned with prepping for surgery and cleaning house, preparing meals and getting my blood work and physical done. Doctor R did my measurements today and decided to go with 600cc ultra high profile silicone. I wanted big but not too big and I have literally 0 upper pole ( I am 49) and a very long neck so this will help with that issue. He said that Mod plus would be too wide for me and would be under my armpits. I must admit that I am a bit scared to go with ultra plus! Its freaking me out but he is a top surgeon in my area so I will trust his opinion. If any of you ladies have big cc ultra high can you please reply as I'd love to see photos. I am most afraid of not having cleavage if they are too far apart. I also have asymetry breasts so 1 will be 600 the other 650. I was shocked to see how much smaller one was to the other! I will also be going OVER the muscle. I will post before and afters asap incase anyone is interested. I am 5' 5" and 145 pounds size 6-8 pants and size M tops.

At my appt today I was also given my Med prescriptions and post op directions. I will post more frequently as this will be a sort of diary for me to vent my anxieties, fears, exitement and progress.

I have 590cc UHP round. I was concerned because I wanted more side boob and thought UHP would look pointy (ie. Madonna in the 80s). To get the fit and volume this was my doctors choice but he knew the look I wanted and he nailed it. I could be happier; they are my dream boobs. And I believe great doctors are the key!!

Thanks for your reply mimi! I like side boob too and that's why I'm a bit nervous going with uhp but after the doc measured me this is what will fit in me so I am trusting his judgement.:)

mamogram call back :(

User Avatar
ggmcgeeMay 19, 2015
Ok just checking in here. Last week was my consultation and pre op and I learned then that the mamogram that I had a few days prior needed to be done again. I guess they needed additional pictures of my right breast. Well this freaked me out and I had to go all weekend freaking out because I couldn't get back in to radiologist until today (monday). It took me forever to save for implants and now of all times I get called back from radiology. Ughhhh I was crying all weekend. I wanted to be excited about my upcoming surgery but the impending doom about possibly having breast cancer threw me into such anxiety. Ok so today I go back. She takes 2 pictures of my right breast. I then tell her that I need to know TODAY the results. She assured me that yes indeed I would get them in a few minutes after the doc looks at the films. Well I sat there by myself in a room waiting for 15 long minutes. I was in tears . Finally the dr comes in. He looks at me and I thought oh no.. this is it. I'm doomed... he says everything is FINE!!!! Omg I burst our crying again! Such an emotional roller coaster! I've never been more scared in my life! Now I can be excited for my upcoming surgery in 2 weeks from today! I had my blood work done on fri and my pre op physical done yesterday. I am doing 600cc UHP gummy bears over the muscle. I'm going tomorrow to pay the balance and ask of I can possibly go with 650cc. I'm getting boobie greed. :)

mine were really uneven. 525 on one and 575 on the other. But I went under the muscle too. I am definitely a D or DD now I haven't gone bra shopping yet but I am Happy with them. And don't worry you are NEVER too old to feel great about yourself.

Have you thought about financing some of it through care credit? I only have a out 4,500 left to pay off but it's interest free for a year.

2 factors: I did not want a bl and I need a quick recovery.
