Thanks for asking about this!
I have a friend a couple years older than I am who had one two years ago and she is thrilled. She doesn’t need a bra anymore and feels so much better.
I have always had a significant bust, even from my teenage years, and even at my lowest weight. I’m currently a 32G and I know women who wear a smaller cup size than I do who have had reductions. I think the only thing that’s saved me for this long is that I never had children, so the boobs have stayed *relatively* level if not perky until very recently. But I have had dents in my shoulders for years, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to have bras fit well, feel comfortable, and do their job of lifting and supporting. At the age of 60, I’m kinda feeling I’ve had enough and would like one less obstacle to my comfort. I don’t want to lose a lot — I’m hourglassy in build and want my upper half to balance out my wide hips — but it would be nice to go down to maybe a D instead of G. I have a narrow back and I just feel a bit thick with this much volume on the front of my chest. A slight reduction and lift would appeal to me.
I do wonder how long I would have to wait to resume exercise (3x a week Pilates and walking 4-5 miles a day). I’m a little scared of surgery — the only other procedure I’ve ever had was my laparoscopic hysterectomy 13 years ago!
