Hello. I am 58 and have breast fed all my children as well as had significant weight loss so all things considered my skin is stretched and thin. I want to have augmentation (possible lift) and go with a large implant (450cc) with high profile. I keep seeing that due to my skin condition and the extra weight of a large implant this may not be advised due to bottoming out or early sagging.
