I was 42 when I had a breast augmentation. It is a year later now and I am just as pleased now as I was when I had it done. Have this done, had nothing to do with me turning 40, nothing to do with my husband "wanting" it, I decided it was my time. Time for me to do something for me. I have thought about this for years, never able to shake the idea... so, I finally did it. The surgery was short and recovery time was very minimal. The combination of pain meds and the apin pack they attached, was a miracle. I only used pain meds for 2 days post surgery. Best thing I ever did for ME, besides having a child.
