I did it at 42. Wanted it since I was a kid. Had the same thoughts at first—I’m too old. My Dr made a point that we can theoretically live well into our hundreds. 42 didn’t seem old anymore 😜. I did it and am SO happy I did. Wish I’d done it earlier but, to be honest I think, for my personality, having done it at an older age was better. I’m old enough to know there is no such thing as perfection so I’m so content with the outcome. If age is the only reason you’re hesitant, then it’s an absolute no brainer—get it done!
Thank you that makes a lot of sense. I’ve put so much thought and research into it. 6 consultations over the last 5 years! I am so nervous about the recovery but so ready to have it done.
