Breast implants after age 50?

[Anonymous]

I think a B cup is fine. It will look natural at that size, and give you back the "lift" you had before children. Go for it if it is something that will make you feel good.

This is incorrect. PP don't spread inaccurate information. Today's implants are not constructed the way they used to be 20+ years ago. And "most implants" do NOT rupture or leak over time.

OP do it. I got silicone implants 18 years ago, to this day I do not regret my decision. I feel younger and sexier when I look in the mirror, instead of like an old hag with my tits resting on my knees. Also, my implants look natural. They don't look like two antelopes sitting on my chest.

Going to a B cup is life-changing and quite tasteful. Your challenge is to find a talented surgeon, one who can do a great job while also cooling it on the up-sale. You don't want someone who will push for a facelift and tummy tuck, when you want to focus on your breasts.

I'm a DD, down from the basketball breasts I developed in my early youth. I'd like to have a lift in the next few years, just to have some bounce to enjoy! My advice to you is to interview a number of good surgeons. Find someone who doesn't mark you up with purple pen with grand plans to totally make you over. They will be an adjustment. Your body takes time to fall into place.

Best of luck to you! When done right, I can't see how you'd regret this.

omg

I'll be 50 next year, and while I'm not in "model shape," I look fine and I try to exercise.

I don't understand this desperate need to regain youth. I can only imagine that women try to recapture that moment in time when they really "blossomed."

Get over it.

- proud of my age and of my gray hair!

50 is way too young to accept gray hair!

Mine are over 20 years old, went thru 6 years of breast feeding and I am now 52. They still look pretty good
who said they have to be replaced in 10 years? never heard this when I got mine done. And if I have to do it again, I will opted for smaller and higher

No, it's not. It's healthy and the shades - a light gray sprinkled with white (white!) - are incredible! I love it. I don't mind getting older, and I'm the mom of two young kids - 11 and 7.

It's all good, ladies. I can't even tell you to stop being selfish b/c these quick fixes AREN'T about you. They're all about societal pressures. My daughter loves my hair, and once, when I teased her and said I'd color it, she laughed and said, "You'd look horrible with fake color."

Love yourself and be secure role models for your kids. I don't feel old, and my friends range in age from 80 (Mom) to 30. No friend is judging me. And anyone who does - "50 is way too young to accept gray hair." - is not worth my time.

Don't buy trouble, especially when your 50s have so many surprises (and not good ones) in store for you. I know.

I'm only 31 and in the same boat (size A, breastfed my kids, etc). My favorite teacher died this summer at the age of 53 after being diagnosed two years ago with breast cancer. If you have breast implants, it can be more difficult to detect breast cancer. The implant can obstruct the view and delay treatment for the cancer, which leads to a 26% higher rate of the cancer spreading than in someone that didn't have implants.

With that said, I'm going to consider a breast lift. There isn't much to lift, but I'm on the fence about implants.

You can't get a lift without implants.

I had mine done at 37 after nursing 4 kids for 2 years each. It was a great decision for me. Clothes FIT better as I'm slim and I feel better about myself- no more flaps of skin with nipples. I went conservative- 325cc's which took me to a c cup which sounds huge but they couldn't look more natural. Life is short- go for it

I had a reduction and lift and was told I could get another lift years later.

Perhaps you should not judge others for their appearance. I've been blonde since 13, and I'll still be blonde at 93. I'm not insecure, but I am bottle blonde and my kids think I'd look weird in any other shade of hair.

You had fat in your breasts to work with. Most A cup saggy breast are just hanging skin folds. Mine need a lift and an implant.

I had a reduction and lift and was told I could get another lift years later.

I am the poster who went down to a DD. You, like I, probably have plenty to work with for a lift sans implants. OP's situation is different.
