I am 56 and got implants almost two years ago. The timing and $$ were right. My self-esteem has always been high, I was just tired of never fitting comfortably in a bra, even a padded one! This was MY decision, done for ME. Life is still good, mammograms/ultrasounds are clear and confidence is boosted. I'm still in the same size clothes, just look much better in them!! My husband is also delighted but was just as happy w/ the "old me" so if you're considering, go for it!!
