Not Worth It
Spent: $6,800 in Lubbock, Texas

I have recently received breast implants and now I would like them removed. I have silicone implants. I feel foolish for having implants and now I wish I never had them. They don't feel like me!

I had an excellent PS however I don't like the implants.

So Sorry, I find that my patient are overwhelmingly happy with their breast implants. Is there something in particular that you are unhappy with. If you are still early in the recovery period, the breast implants may take some time to settle and take on a more natural appearance. Discuss your concerns with your provider and see what they say. It is possible to remove the implants entirely, however this may leave you with loose skin over the breast. Dr. Tyrone Gainesville, FL

Hi...I just had them put in last week and am feeling the same way. I was a B cup and had 200cc's put in. I feel huge and unnatural. It has only been 9 days though. My husband and friends have been so supportive and tell me they look so natural, not big at all. I am 5'10" so it is not too big for my body....just weird. Let's hang in there for a bit and see how "they" settle. I have read others that feel the way we do but end up much better after a bit of healing. Hang in there!!!!!!

Thank you much for your kind words! I wish the best for you! I'm still not comfortable with the implants! I have an appt with another PS to take them out next week! May cancel but I feel so unnatural! Let me know what you decide!

I will definitely keep you posted. You please do the same. I wish you luck and peace with your decision. I am getting a little more comfortable with having them. How long has it been for you? I have had "mine" for 10 days now. Did it make you really big or is the unnaturalness you are not uncomfortable with?? I am getting a lift in the PS office this Wednesday. I think part is I feel "tanky" but the lift might give me a bit of perk. It was to be done in the original surgery but she waited, thinking I would be happy with the lift I got from an implant. sorry I rambled on...hope I made sense. Keep me posted and keep your chin up!! :)

It sounds like you have a very understanding PS! I just feel unnatural! I really didn't think I would feel this way! I was an A and now small C. Noboby has even noticed. I have been in contact with some other women who have done the same as me. My implants have been in for 4 weeks! Let me know how Wednesday goes! Blessings!

I had high profile saline implants put in 4 yrs ago and had them removed after only 7 months. I hated them. Felt too weird to me. So i totally understand what you are saying. I met alot of people who also removed them because they just felt unnatural. I was 36 B and went to 36 D. For my frame I was too big. Felt like a moose. Sometimes I really wish I stuck it out. Maybe I wouldve loved them eventually. Make sure you really want to remove them. Hate to see you regret that decision.
