I had them for 13 years, two different sets, and kept getting capsular contractor. Got them removed and a lift done at the same time since I was a D cup with the implants.

No problems and happy I got rid of them! They look great now and feel wonderfully soft. Was an A cup before getting implants. Now I'm a B cup. Best thing I did for myself was get them out!

I have been in severe pain since I got my implans 2 years ago. My joints ache and hurt and I feel like I have the flu all the time. I don't feel the same. Does anyone have any advice for me or know of a good surgeon in Atlanta to remove them? Any good Dr' who can do testing to see if it is from the implants I had 2 years ago. Thanks!

This is something I was never warned of 'SIDE EFFECTS' from the silcone Shell.. I Recieved my implants Jan. 2008. First of all I explained I wanted a C cup. Well, I'm a FULL D cup. Ok, so I would live with that I suppose!.. But, a yr. into it I developed severe pain in my joints , Headaches, rashs, strange periods, hair loss,stinging pain in chest, problems taking deep breaths, Colitis, Vomiting for no reason, Always Tired,and it just keeps geting WORSE. I have four small children and I'm sick with myself for making such a stupid decission and alter my body!. I have gone through 1 1/2 yrs. of this pain that I want to die sometimes. My husband and I have made a decission They HAVE to COME OUT. I'm scared of the results but, If I can get my my health back after this I will be Perfectly Happy with who I am!..

hello there, I just had a breasts done about 7 days ago. I still feel awkward about them. I am wanting to let you know that a day later after surgery I went with Joint pain. It's Postoperative Muscle Pain (Myalgia) Severe muscle and joint discomfort that may be experienced after surgery is known as postoperative muscle pain (myalgia). This is a fairly common, quite distressing, but rather interesting condition. It usually appears on the first day after surgery, is often described as feeling similar to the pain one might suffer after unaccustomed physical exercise, and is usually located in the neck, shoulder and upper abdominal muscles. Mine went away after 12 hours. I haven't felt it since. Thank god because it was horrible. As far as the boobs go.. I hope I don't regret them. I went from an A to a C cup and so far so good. But it's so awkward. I keep up the positive on it. So far everyones like them. Here's to good hopes!

I am so sorry for your pain. You are not the only one who made a stupid decision. Don't kick yourself. We were all sold a false reality. Take care of yourself.

I have had my implants since 2005 ( from ""A" cup to "D" cup) and have had capsular contracture since then. I have had several surgerys to remove the scar tissue to no avail. I am tired of trying to make my uneven breast look normal. I have deceided to have my implants removed, becasue the scar tissue continues to come back. I found your experience very encouraging.I can only hope my experience is as positive as yours.

What made you decide on a lift as well? I am going through this decision right now. I want my implants removed. I had implants put in in 2003, then replaced with smaller ones last year. They are still too big. I am much more fit now and they donot match my body. I have decided to get them explanted. My question is do I do a lift at the same time? Theyare droopy with the implant, so I do not think I will be thrilled if I just take them out. I am worried about scarring, though, as I have started dating again, and am concerned with how men will perceive me as they heal.

I got a lift to get rid of the excess skin, otherwise they would be saggy and mishapen. Yes do the lift at the same time so you only need to pay for one surgery. I wear padded and push up bras now and feel more confident than I did with the fake boobs.
