57 Yr Old 5'9' 145 Lbs 1 Child Breast Lift and Implants

I never thought that I would even consider doing this but here I am. I am at the point of my life that a push up bra is not doing the trick. My breasts have lost so much of their natural shape due to childbirth, age and gravity. I am in good physical shape. I spin 3-4 times a week and still wear a bikini. I am not trying to be in my teens or 30's but I would like to feel better about myself, especially in certain clothing.

I went on a few consultations and finally decided on my doctor. I have a pre-op appointment on Tuesday. I do not want to be too large and would very much like to remain in proportion. I have been reading about the possibility of not going large enough and want to be aware of that when I am at my appointment. I know that I will have the gummy silicone implants which I feel more comfortable about. My sister has saline and was encouraging me to get those. The gummy version was not around when she had hers installed. We agreed we were not blessed with full breasts.

I will post some photos and keep all up to date. I am a tad nervous but reading about others experiences is extremely helpful. I am worried about going back to work. I have a commute on a railroad and subway. I am having this done on a Thursday and think I would like to go back to work on Tuesday the latest. Oh my! I guess I will know what to do when the time comes.

I will write more after my Tuesday evening appointment.

I am looking forward to my visit tomorrow to discuss what to expect and select a size. I am posting photos of what I look like now.

I had my pre-op appt this past Tuesday (2 days ago). The office staff is very nice and handed me a large packet of paperwork. It could be daunting and down right scarey when you read through it all.

Once signed I went into the exam room for a discussion on what to do pre and post surgery. I am now taking Vitamin C and Iron. I should be receiving my Meds shortly.

Then it was time for photos and to determine what size I am comfortable with and what is best for a natural look for my body type. I had been a C cup at one time. I am now a B. The good news is that I have a base meaning I have breast tissue and am not completely flat chested. After trying on different size implants under a jog bra I decided I want to be a full C. Now I learned something important that many of you may or may not already know. The cc's are meaningless. It is your body type that determines the cc's. I had on 500cc's to make me look like a C. They young lady who was working with me was much shorter than me and she is now a full C. Her implants were 275cc's. I will be getting high profile gummy implants and the cc's will be determined during surgery. The doctor will place different size implants in and they sit you up to see how they fall. They know where I would like to end up and will make the necessary adjustments during surgery. I will get an anchor cut and then be on the mend like so many of you.

I also learned that I have a long torso and that my collar bone is a distance from the top of my breast. The doctor was pointing that out and at first I was not understanding the point. Some peoples breasts start higher up. I thanked him for that detail and stated that as long as my breasts are not resting on my ribs any longer I will be happy!!!!

I am excited and nervous at the same time. 1 week from today.
