51 and Making a Change.......275cc's HP - Paoli, PA

At 51, I feel a little crazy to be going through with this. I've been reading others on this site and realize perhaps it would be good to get some feedback/support rather than bounce things around in my head.

I've been small breasted all of my life. Never been fitted....no reason, but probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 32A closer to AA. Mostly wear no padding kid type bras/bralettes. I actually went to VS and they were not able to find a bra to fit me. I have found, as I'm sure many of you have, that buying clothes can be a challenge, especially dresses. They would fit the lower half of my body, but collapse on the upper part. Very depressing. On the up side, I've been pretty active my whole life, so being small breasted was definitely an asset (no pun intended). At the end of the day though, when I would get undressed I've always felt like a little boy.

Flash forward, it's 2015 and I think it's finally time. I had a total of three consultations and have chosen a PS and a date (Nov 4). Now it's second guess myself time. All three PS's agreed on size (250-275cc's) silicone unders and based on my BWD of 10, high profile is really the only way to go to get that volume. Like most women, I want to have a natural look, and at 51 I'm not looking for bodacious tatas, but I realize as little breast tissue as I have and being pretty ribby, it's going to look like a boob job. I'm hoping that the size I'm looking at, once they settle, they will seem as natural as they can be. Btw, I'm 5'5", 110lbs. and never had children.

So right now, as I overthink all this, I've been having doctors appointments (have to have a clear mammo within 6 months of surgery....yes all you young'uns, this is important at my age!) and I happened to have had a stroke 6 years ago, so I need to get clearance from my GP. All the PS's I met with said that the previous history of stroke (blamed on birth control pills) shouldn't be an issue, but I do need the okay from my regular doctor. I think having been through that was another reason I decided to go through with this. I realize how precarious life can be, and I don't want to get down the road and say "I wish I had...".

So, as far away as Nov 4th seems, it will be here before I know it. At times I wish I had scheduled it sooner, but with summer vacation schedules at work and what not, I thought waiting this time wouldn't be the worst thing. If I as still as excited about it in 2 months (or more precisely, 1 month, 26 days, 1 hour....but who's counting??), as I am now, then I know it's the right thing to do. I have to say, two of my biggest concerns are work and taking care of myself (I live alone) immediately post op. I have a very physically demanding job and I will be going back to it 8 days post op. My boss and coworkers know I'm having this and seem very supportive, but I worry about my ability to step back and let others do....not my personality as a rule. And how were the first few days post op for those that who have had surgery? I will try to have my life as post op ready as possible, but I will be having to do everything myself.

So there you have it...my story, my worries (most of which I realize will be unfounded) my excitement. If anyone out there who's had their BA and are my size and got 250-275cc's I would love some feedback on too big, too small, just right? I will post some before pictures to put that out there too.

Thank you all in advance. This site has been a wonderful find for me and I hope I hear from those who have been through it or about to go through it or anyone who has some words of wisdom to share!

Here are a few more pictures of me in my favorite bikini. Nothing to cover other than I wouldn't want to burn them.

It's been wonderful hearing from so many of you and reading your stories as well. Keep those cards and letters coming! (haha). Seriously, you all have some much information for those of us yet to have surgery. There are so many things I would not have thought of to ready before the day....especially as I live alone. My list grows longer daily of things that will make my life easier immediately post op thanks to you all.

Have a glorious day everyone!

Well it's officially one month until my surgery. I have a feeling it's going to fly....especially since I scheduled the surgery (Nov 4) back in the beginning of August and I can't believe it's Oct!! I've been trying to keep busy and am starting to get things in order for after surgery. Pretty important as I live alone. It makes me a little nervous, but I'm a positive person and just hope the pain/management of everything will be tolerable.

I've been reading a lot of your stories on here and spending too much time thinking over size. Silly since I know my PS said 250-275cc's tops and to get that I have to go HP (and I really don't want to go UHP). I have a feeling that will be plenty big enough for someone who has spent 51 years with next to nothing. So, until the big day, I will try to get as much golf in as possible (played today and it was a little chilly (50's) and very windy), but when I think that there are only 4 more weekends before I get boobs, I'm enjoying every swing of the club. I look forward to reading (and hopefully seeing after pics) of everyone I'm following (and there are a lot of you...haha), that are getting implants around my size and having surgery this month. Please keep all us interested parties up to date with how things are going. This site has been a fount of information for those of us patiently (or not so patiently) waiting our turn.

Have a great week everyone!
