I was only 24 when I decided to have a breast augmentation. I have had my breast implants for almost 20 years and have never once had a problem with them. I was never told by my doctor back in the 90's that I would eventually have to have them removed or replaced and now my right breast feels... Read more

Hi All, My personal experience mirrors many of yours - I wanted my silicone implants at the time I got them (12 years ago, 34A to 34C) but now I am older, more confident and it's time to go back to natural. And I could not be more thrilled! I am so thrilled about the idea that I'm scared I'm... Read more

Like many of you ladies, I got the implants to feel secure and more feminine with myself. I was barely filling a 34B cup and felt that I was not proportioned with the rest of my body (5”6” 135-40 pounds). BOY WOULD THIS CHANGE 3 ½ YEARS POST BA. Since the early age of 15, I had always been... Read more

During a Mammogram and ultrasound it was discovered that my implants had ruptured. They were 20+ yrs old and it was time to make a decision on revision or removal. I opted for removal and a lift. I chose a local plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Rehnke, and had the surgery on June 5th. Since both... Read more

So here are some of my stats first. I'm 5'6", approximately 115 lbs, 22 yo. I was 18 yo when I put in my 340cc silicone implants under the muscle (yes 18!). I was maybe 135 lbs at the time so there is quite a weight difference. I lost weight because of stress... Well hopefully the pictures get... Read more

I'm only 6 weeks post op, but I want to explant really really badly. I hate these stupid boobs with all my heart. I just wish I could snap my fingers and be back to what I was before all of this. I'm such an idiot for ever getting breast augmentation. Part of me truly resents myself for... Read more

I am 61, British, and had my first implants in 1985 (140cc saline under muscle) a year after my husband died. I was a 32AA before having 2 children in the late 70's and was always niggled about being flat chested especially after breastfeeding. I hated the feel straight afterwards and went back... Read more

After reading everyone else's stories I've decided to finally share my own. To make a long story short: I had my BA in June 2012. I have 375 Saline Moderates filled to 400ccs under the muscle. I developed CC by August. I had a revision on Nov. 21st for CC in my right and implant repositioning in... Read more

I am writing this as a way to pay it forward because this sight has helped guide me through my research and decision making. I am having my breast implants removed and a full mastopexy. I am tired of feeling any and all shirts look too provocative, the feeling of weights on my chest, the... Read more

I had 360cc textured implants over the muscle for 10 years. They became hard and my nipples were hanging at the bottom. They were ugly. Worst, I believed they were causing health issues. Finally, my insurance paid to have them removed. The PS said it was a mess because the implants has separated... Read more

My youngest son was born in September 2002, I went through about six months postpartum depression. I hated my body and after breast feeding two children wanted back my figure. I visited my plastic surgeon and asked him to please bring back my drooping breasts. I wanted a mastopexy, he talked me... Read more

I haven't been active on this board even though i have been checking it regularly for years. I read the stories on here when i start feeling nervous about things. I have had my implants for about 11 years. They no longer suit my lifestyle and I feel extremely self conscious about them. After... Read more

21 years of these awful implants -hard and painful so after a health scare (mammagram showed a mass -ultimately, everything okay), I had them removed. My PS indicated my CC was close to a 3. April 12 was the day. PS did not want to do a lift. It was tough since apparently, the right... Read more

Today I am 25 years old and I have had my implants for two years. The dream I had pre-op was to have larger breasts. This ideal, I had acquired from comparing myself to celebrities and porn stars. At the time for the operation I was of the opinion that augmented breasts are good looking... Read more

Hi Everyone! Thank you all for sharing your stories and pictures of breast implant removal. It has helped ease my fear (some;), and helped me make my decision to explant with no lift for now. I got my implants in 2003 at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ with Dr. Deborah Bash. I have 375cc... Read more

I had my implants placed in 2006 when I was young and was only really concerned with the present, I didn't think about the future and made a decision I now regret! I was a 34A prior to augmentation and like most of us who have implants, I had them placed for a confidence boost and to better fill... Read more
