I'm a 50 yr old mother of 4 grown children, all of whom I breastfed. I was large breasted for my frame when I was younger as well as during my pregnancy/breastfeeding years. I have always been athletic and have lost 20 lbs or so in the last 15 years. During that time, my once full breasts have become deflated, saggy and asymmetrical. The changes in my breasts have bothered me for the last 10 years, but really a LOT in the past 3 years.
I try to eat healthy, exercise moderately and we live an active lifestyle. I am 5'5" and 124 lbs and would say I'm 50 years young, but my breasts look more like that of an 80 year old! And forget about trying to bra and swimsuit shop - it's so frustrating to find anything that I can wear as my breasts just fold up on themselves in a push-up or it fits one and not the other. My sweet husband (of 30 yrs) has never made me feel anything but beautiful, but I just don't want to look like this and worse in the next 30 :( I've come to the decision that I'm going to JUST GO FOR IT and thankfully my husband is very supportive.
So, we found a PS, went to the consultation in December, went to the Pre-op appointment Feb 3rd, and my surgery is in 10 days! I'm nervous, then hopeful, then excited, then wondering if I'm just being crazy. This is such a big expense - and I'm not in my 30's anymore. But the thought of leaving them the way they are is just the saddest thing to me and dealing with the anxiety I have when wearing anything low cut or when swimming is just difficult and ongoing. I feel like it's now or never for me and we've had a lot of diff things occur in Jan but I have this window of opportunity and I'm going to take it! If I don't I think I would always regret not having done it, and my whole life I've tried to be intentional so as not to regret the way I lived and the choices I've made.
I have appreciated finding this website and have learned so much from you girls sharing your journeys. I haven't told a soul that I'm doing this because I just really don't want everyone's two cents and judgement or negativity going into it. My husband & mine are the only 2 opinions I really care about. I'm not looking to be a beauty queen, I'd just like to feel beautiful for myself and my husband and restore my breasts somewhat. People don't always understand nor would some make this same decision, so I guess I just don't want to hear what they think. The was a hard enough decision to make for myself. It does make me feel a little alone in it though, and since I'm outgoing and a people person, that has been different for me. So thank you all for sharing and encouraging each other. It allows me to know that there are others out there who I can identify with. I'm getting smooth round moderate plus profile gel implants 350 range under the muscle and a full breast lift. If any of you have had this I would love to hear from you. Thanks

Got my RXs filled, some supplies, got a few soft zip-up hoodies, and have been trying to clean and finish everything before Monday. We have plans Saturday and will be out-of-town Sunday so time is getting short. They called and moved my surgery up so I have to be there by 7:30am. Still been trying to fit in exercise some. Wondering if I'll be able to do push-ups again? I did get a chance to golf 9 holes today with some gals from our neighborhood. Can anyone comment on how it is to get back to golfing? I'm whipped - just finished taking care of finances and finishing my taxes. Best wishes to all of you getting your surgeries in next few days

I am also a young 50 and today am 1 week post op with my lift and new implants. I have posted my review if you want to read. Only my husband, my daughter and 3 friends know I did it. You need to do this for you. I am badly bruised but feel good. They look ugly right now but I know every day they will look better. I am really glad I did it.
