I have thought about this for decades (I am 60)...

I have thought about this for decades (I am 60) but I can't deny that I am nervous. I have had other 'consultations' over the years but this time I am almost there ... I have a date and I am counting down. My fear of bleeding to death (!) doesn't seem likely ... I have watched several videos at a safe distances (without my glasses so that I don't see too much detail) and I have discounted that possibility. I have resolved my fear of a General Anaesthetic and found a surgeon in UK that uses Local + IV Sedation. So now I am left with the fear of having to deal with an infection and then wishing I could turn back the clock. All that said, I am just days away from the moment I can make a lifelong wish come true ... to have breasts in proportion with my 28/30 inch frame. I am currently a 30G and I went to look at 30D bras (they look tiny) so I am hoping to end up a 30DD/E. Does anyone know how I can get my pictures from an iphone onto this page ... I am so impressed by the courage of everyone going through this procedure and seeing your images has helped me know what to expect so thank you for that.

Counting down

I have just this weekend left to organise myself and everything I think I will need to make my life as easy as possible when I get home. I am a vegan and have doubled the amount of protein I am consuming so that my body is hopefully prepared for the healing process ... the surgeon who told the lady with an infection that it was because she was a vegetarian alarmed me ... so let's see how my diet pans out over the coming weeks ... perhaps I will be a meat-eater by the end of July! I am working on the images so that I can see my progress over the coming months ... I have figured out how to upload them ... first I need to take some this week-end.

I can't believe that this time next week I will have had my operation. Thank you to everyone on this site for sharing their story ... it has been a huge help when I have felt insecure about moving forward. I am (nervously) about to start new chapter in my book. This is how I look as a 30G and I can't imaging how I will look or feel this time next week ... I have been told I will not be removing my bandages for one week so we'll have to wait and see.

Good luck Bee35 I am also a 28 frame I have 30f boobs. Will keep an eye on how you are doing on here. My surgeon is in Bristol, surgery in October. I am perversely looking forward to the anaesthetic as I love the sleepy feeling afterwards :))))) x

Thanks ... I live in Bristol too! I will let you know how I get on now that I have figured out to use my iphone to take and upload the images.

Hi, hope you have read my review, I have come down from a G cup and am also in the UK. You are going to love the result! Good luck

Thanks ... love your post! Here I am fretting and you have been through the process twice ... I know I will be in awe of having small boobs after all these decades and won't be able to believe it has finally happened. I know if I don't do it now that I probably never will ...

You look fantastic for 60, you will look even better after! I had my first session at the gym today, this op has transformed things for me. Good luck with your surgery.

Thanks ... the lighting was good! Some days I think I look great and other days I think ... who is that woman and where did she come from? I am ready for tomorrow and thank you for your support.

Good luck, be brave.

Thanks ... got to pack my little suitcase to-day and put it by the front door so that I am ready to walk out at 6am on Wednesday ... and then walk back in a new woman! I don't anticipate it will be a breeze but this site has helped me set realistic expectations for the healing process that will follow.

Good luck x

Thank you ... I can't really believe I am doing this (!) and have been through every emotion imaginable over the past few months as I prepare. But here I am and, as my friend says to me, I am just 'two sleeps away' from the BIG (small) day. I will get up at 5am on Wednesday and drink a litre of water to hydrate myself, shower and then travel to Birmingham by 9am ... that's all I have left to do. Two months of preparation and here I am ... suddenly counting down the hours.

How exciting - wishing you well for tomorrow - can't imagine how you must be feeling today
