WORTH IT$6,874
Hello everyone! I'm a 46 year old divorced mom of two adult children. I'm 5'6" and 160 pounds. I'm writing this review to help others my age who are going, or thinking about going through this procedure. The women who wrote on Realself really helped me when I had my tummy tuck last year. So I decided it's my turn to give back.
My surgery isn't until January, so that gives me 2 months to lose the 20 pounds I've wanted to get rid of for two years now. If new boobs isn't a motivator, I don't know what is! :)
Today I'll post some "wish boob" pics and in the near future I'll write about my weight loss progress and post some pics of my "before" self. And of course, I'll keep you guys updated on my post-op recovery. Wish me luck!

Rice Boobies
Today I went to Meijers and Target. I bought rice from Meijers and a 36C lace unlined bra from Target. With my current weight, I'm close to filling out the 36C already. However, when I lose the 20 pounds, I know that there will be much air up there. :)
Anyway, the reason for the rice is so that I can make rice sizers. They're not exactly like the sizers you'll get in the doctor's office, but they give you a close idea as to the weight and size you'll have. I attached a youtube link on how to make the rice sizers. And my pictures are of me with 250cc's with a 36C bra and other rice sizers. I predict by surgery time, I'll need at least 350cc-400cc moderate profile to fill out a 36C bra.

5 days left!!
Only 5 days until my surgery!! I'm so excited! I have my meds all ready and I just bought some God awful pj's that button in the front. The doctor suggested it so I won't have to pull anything over my head. I'll post some before pics in a few days.

Good luck. I am 48 and had my BA on November 15. Should have done it sooner ☺ I will say I was surprised by how much it hurts but about the 6 week mark I turned the corner and am beginning to enjoy them . Sometimes I still can't believe I finally did it. Hope all goes well. Please keep us updated .

Thanks! I got a tummy tuck last year and they say a breast augmentation is easier, so we'll see. I'm worried about the pressure on my chest though. I get really anxious when I can't deep breathe.

I really didn't feel the pressure on my chest, it didn't affect my breathing. It felt more like rocks in my bra and it was just painful to move . When I would stand up it felt like my chest was falling off . Good luck. Hopefully your ability to deep breathe is not affected .

Good luck to you. I will follow your updates closely, cause I am in the same age and having my BA on the 13th of Jan. So excited to hear and see your progress and feelings after surgery.

Thanks KaiteSari! I'll keep you posted. I'll have 1 1/2 weeks off from work so I'll have nothing but time to type. :)
