WORTH IT$6,700
I am 54 and mom of one (adult of 31 with 2 kids AKA: grandkids). I have not told her I am doing this. Actually I don't want to tell anyone. I am 5'5 and 138 lbs. I quit smoking about 25 years ago and started exercising right away. First it was aerobics, then aerobics and walking, then i met my second husband (3 years younger than me....at the YMCA where I was doing aerobics.) Then he got me into running. And now it has been the gym and running for the past several years. I have a desk job....30 years now, so getting out of my chair and moving feels great. But seems like I am at a standoff with my mirror. I ran into a friend that recently had a BA and she was happy.....and so my journey begins. I have been reading this site since I ran into her while I was waiting for my first consult. ...seemed like FOR EVER....but got alot of information and made up my mind to proceed. I told my husband my intentions and I get the standard "I don't think you need it", but he is supporting my decision. At the consultation I could tell how far out of his comfort zone this was pushing him. But he hung in there and got thru it. (I told him my friends husband went with her to every appointment so I left it up to him if he wanted to go).
So before we left, I was thinking I can't believe I even want to do this, much less $$!
And thought I would have to book something in august or later considering how long I had to wait for just the consult. But, they booked me for July 3rd! I paid my deposit, and now it is only weeks away. The thoughts going thru my head are not much different than what I have read on here, but I am much older. It doesn't have anything to do with sex for me, but hey, if it adds a little spice to that area too.....I am definitely IN! I hope to be able to shop for tops and bras that I can actually take off and not dislike what I see. I am not that bad, but MUCH room for improvement. Not sure of my real size since I buy 36b heavily padded. Oh, and don't forget the FULL COVERRAGE part so that I look smooth in front along with 2 sizes bigger. I will post before photos soon .
I would never have done this in my 30's or probably not even 40's since saving money has always been a top priority.
My husband does not agree with me to not let someone in my family know that I will be undergoing surgery. I don't want them to know, so he is standing by my decision. He thinks I should tell my daughter (he has no kids of his own, but has accepted his "extended family" better than I could have ever hoped for!!!)
For now that is all I have to tell. I so much appreciate all the information I have learned on this site so I want to share as well.....from a more older...and wiser....prospective

I am 50 and I decided not to tell anyone because its my body, my business :) I don't thinkbyou should share if you don't want to because seriously why should anyone else care about your breasts? just my 2 cents :)

Congratulations for going through with the procedure! You look beautiful. Very natural looking. I see this is your first breast augmentation at age 54? I'm impressed by how well you look. Again, congrats!!
I also never told my family about my surgery (4 breast surgery). The only people who know are my father (I needed a driver) and his girlfriend. No one else will ever know, nor do they need to know. I don't see them often any way. Hope you have a lovely Sunday! xoxo

So glad to find your post. I'm 52 and about to do the same thing. It's my Hubby's family that tends to be a little judgmental and I have been in a dilemma as to tell them before or not. I'm kinda leaning to not. We see them about once a month and on Holidays. My instinct is to wait and see if they say anything and deal with it then. I am having my BA Sept 23rd. and I'm super excited!

Good luck, I'm 51 and I had mine three weeks ago! Perfect timing I think.

This is my first "selfie". This is me now. I only could get one picture. This selfie thing is hard to do. I will try more later.
I am guessing 300 to 325 or 350cc. I am trusting my ps to decide what looks best. I just want to be me only bigger.
Thoughts would be appreciated....
Thanks for everyone that shares. This site has been so helpful.

Hello, welcome to the site. I am 51 and had my BA almost a year ago. I too have a grown daughter but no grandchildren yet. I told my daughter, she was very supportive. If you get a chance read my review and maybe it can give some what of an idea of what I went through and what might help you with your recovery. If you have any questions that my review doent answer please don't hesitate to ask and I will try to answer based on my experience. I will tell you that I had 300 cc's and those were big enough for me. Under clothes you cant really tell.....UNLESS the shirt is tight and BAM!!! All I wanted was to fill up what I had and thankfully that is what I got. I left it up to my dr to put in the size that would fit my pocket. I wish you luck and happy boob dreams until your day. Oh yea, geni bra is a great thing to have.....I believe I have one in every color.

although your a bit bigger than i was to start i totally understand. i was on the fence for close to a decade. i loved my perky pre size naked and got many compliments (my pre pics don't do justice) but disliked my proportions. i also disliked not being able to wear clothes without my 2x pushup VS bras. my husband loved my pre BA size but supported me all the way and now he's one very, very happy man. i bet yours will too! i started a thread for those 50+ that you might want to check out...there's many of us who share similar stories.

i went 380 silicone unders and although i love my size with clothes on i'm still getting used to their bigness naked. dr would not go any larger than 380 and felt that 400 was pushing it. since i read about so many gals saying they wish they went larger and i only wanted to do this once, so i went with 380. would i be happy with 350? i don't know, its so hard to tell. there are a few of us in our age group that went 300-350 range and are very, very happy. put that in a search and see what you get.

picked up a few things
54anditstimeJune 15, 2015
I picked up a few things this weekend that I have read on here I might need. I felt like everyone in Walmart knew what I was about to do. With all the "supplies" in my cart, I thought it looked obvious.
Still don't believe this is happening. I keep reading on here how painful it can be and ask myself why on earth would I do that to myself. I don't think my husband has any idea how this will be, and I am not going to tell him. I have done the research, so I know. I don't want this to "turn him off"....recovery for this isn't always pretty. He did comment that getting new toys is always fun. I will let him keep that thought for as long as possible.

Lol I felt the same at the checkout line. It's just obvious why I'm buying this stuff, but oh well. I doubt anyone even paid attention a d if they did, who cares! Congrats on ur journey. My BA is the day before yours, July 2nd! 2 1/2 weeks!!!

Just looked at the calendar.....omg...my prep is next wednesday.
Getting close.
Getting close.
I can respect your wishes about not wanting to tell anyone you're getting this surgery but I also think it's very endearing that your husband thinks you should tell someone else in your family. Yikes...I might agree with him. ;) Can't wait to see your pictures. Feel free to join the July 2015 breast augmentation forum for some additional support!
