| I am scheduled for a reduction in September and I am 48. I can”t wait. I am a size 6, tall and I have ridiculously large boobs. I tried working out more and losing weight and it just made them more pronounced. I am done with not having things for right, back pin,etc.,, go for it OP! |

I'm 46 and considering a breast lift due to sagging. I don't wear tight clothing and have supportive bras, but I hate the way sagging feels when I am not wearing bras or intimate with my husband.
However, I have some reluctance because my main hobby that gives me a break from family obligations is tennis. I don't want to pause that, for my mental health, and I don't see a way to do the surgery without a break from tennis for the recovery. |

| Getting implants in your late 40s seems silly. A reduction doesn’t though- that serves to improve your physical health. A reduction at any age is worth it, so long as you are young and heathy enough for the procedure and recovery |

https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/07/26/hank-williams-jr-wife-mary-jane-thomas-cause-death/10152209002/ Just a reminder that all surgery has risks. Hank Williams wife just died from a collapsed lung after cosmetic surgery. She had implants removed, a breast Lift and lipo. |

I fantasize about this. I'm 44 now and realized they ain't coming back after nursing for 3.5 years in total. Where did you go and how much was it? |

| I had a lift/slight reduction at 52. That was 6 years ago and I am thankful I did it every day- should have done it earlier. I'm so much more comfortable. |

| Has anyone just had a lift and nothing else? I’m struggling with how sad and deflated mine look, but don’t want implants. |

Don’t do this. You’ll be that embarrassing older woman with huge fake tits that everyone sideeyes. |

| My sister has 10 close friends from HS and they are all 55/56. 7 of them have had reductions/lifts. Even the small cheated women had their breasts become uncomfortably large after menopause. It was my sisters second reduction/lift. |

I would totally get a breast lift. I have narrow shoulders and ribs with large breasts. It is uncomfortable, and makes me look larger than I am. And buying bras? Forget it. Nothing fits well.
If I had the money to spare, I’d at least get a consultation. |

I went to Dr. Vikisha Fripp. I also got a tummy tuck. I think I spent $8k. |

That's a ton of surgery and she looked obese, which comes with high risks. |
