WORTH IT$6,000
I had implants removed with a lift and a very small implant re-added for slight fullness. It is now the 17th of july and my once healed incessions have reopened and clear stiches are popping out painfully. It also feels like the implant has fallen and is sitting on the lower side of my breast.
I am currently on large dose of antibiotics and my Dr. has not said what is happining or going on with me. He did say i may have to be reopened again. Im in constant low grade pain, can't work out or even work due to this ongoing problem.
Can anyone explain what is happening to cause me so much pain after my breast implant removal?

The implant should always be put under the muscle. It's not your fault. He goofed and your going to correct his terrible mistake. Keep going your going to be beautiful.

I'm no PS. But the implant is always put under the muscle and should not shift around. Matter-of-fact they tell you to massage the area to soften the tissue. It is a quite simple
procedure. the surgeon should know what he was doing. Yours is obviously not very good if he is putting you through this nightmare. Go to a different doctor who will remove the implants and replace them the right way. This is a hard thing for anyone to tolerate. I feel so bad for you,

I also am working out weight training and cross fit 3 times a week. I just ordered one of the rubber corsets on line to wear while I can't work out and am healing . I also am going to commit and focus 100% on my diet and eat clean for the entire 6 weeks I can not train . This will help me mentally keep focus on staying fit and being the best I can become .

hi, are there medical reasons you're not choosing a bigger implant??
August 24, 2015
No I'm afraid to- I'm 53 years old and don't want to look top heavy . I'm 5'6 and weigh 140 . Your thoughts ?
August 25, 2015
I rally know nothing at this point, considering explant/no implants swap, and explant/re-implant. In the latter case I will probably have to downsize ( im not big now, 335). I am confused
August 25, 2015
Lol ... Looks like so many of us are - just keep reading and trying to find right answers . The Dr's comments are very helpful .
August 26, 2015
Hi dear! Could you tell me the size of your very little implants? I explanted and planning re-implant with little ones...
August 26, 2015
These pictures are my befores - this is my own breast tissue . I am going to be added 234cc silicone. I hope to stay a large b . My Dr knows I want fullness in my upper pectoral area .6 more days till my operation

Hey there! I'm sorry for the complications you've had.. And I hope your next surgery goes much more smoothly! I am also athletic and work out a ton and was scared to lose that fitness while recovering from my recent BA revision (Aug 21st), so I've been eating clean as well as much as possible.. I totally get your thinking on that one! I have a couple thoughts for you based upon my experiences... I'm shorter than you, 5'4", 123 pounds but athletic and I definitely did NOT want to go too big. I had 245 gel anatomicals put in and I think they will bring me to a nice/full C cup when I'm done healing, which is exactly what I wanted! A lot of people think 240 sounds very small, but for me personally it is perfect and my boobs turned out exactly how I wished. They are still swollen but I can tell they will be perfect when all is said and done! I did a lot of planning with the doctor and communication about what I did/did not want and we debated three different implants before choosing the one that was perfect. I did a lot of my own research and was very involved in the process, and luckily my doctor is amazing and very knowledgeable but also open to my input. So my advice would be don't let anyone talk you into a bigger implant than you think you can live with long term, and make sure the dimensions are exactly suited for you and that you have a really talented and reputable doctor working with you!! Someone who is good at doing revisions and is aware of the problems you have and can show you lots of pictures with great outcomes!! By the way I think your natural breasts have a very nice shape, and you are starting with better shape and symmetry than I did!! Good luck to you hun!

Thank you so much . I'm much more comfortable this time around bc my dr is a specialist is breast cancer repair work. He is very well know thru out the USA and I have a lot of confidence in his ability.
I've have so much scaring that I'm hoping that doesn't hinder my look .
I'm guessing I'll be a C when I'm done with the tissue I already have .
Can you help me with finding a comfortable bra to buy ? Any suggestion? I like being prepared . I have a few larger sports bras and not sure this is good enough . Thank you . Xo

I'm glad you found a really great Dr with lots of experience w this kind of work because that's the most important thing!!i think you will end up looking awesome! The bra I've been wearing is the Marena bra.. On their website it's the one with the one inch strap. Mine is a 34 C and my measurements are 28.5 rib cage and about 35" around the bust right now. You can adjust to make it larger or smaller if you need to. It's very comfortable AND my 15 year old daughter just asked me what kind of bra it is because she thinks it's cute which I think is really funny. It doesn't look geriatric or anything like that and even looks pretty good under tank tops! It closes up the front and has adjustable eye hooks because you don't want to be pulling anything over your head.

Good, now your on the right track. Your going to do what should have originally been done. Good luck, you've been through enough.

good luck, I think your breasts look great they way they are now .
August 29, 2015
Thank you I'm getting a very small implant that I hope will give me some fullness on top . They look bigger in these pictures than the ones above .
August 29, 2015
Im sending prayers your way. Im about to explant. Its very strange to not be able to know what my real body is. What i know is that fale beasts have failed to make me happy and flatter my body. Im hoping my real body will.
August 29, 2015
Best of luck - I've lived implant free for 7 years . I really don't mind being this size but as I have lost weight and have become a huge fitness nut I want to have the perfect body . Thus the small implant (one last time ).
I had big boobs in my late 30's and personally on me I felt unattractive. Like a middle aged woman with no real shape .
My thinking is everything in moderation . Im not looking for the sexy [RS bleep] look just a healthy version of myself .
Feel free to follow me . I've waited , like I said a long time and thought a lot about putting these dumb things back in my body .
I think you will have to embrace another look for yourself . You definitely will have people asking you if you lost weight ! ;) good luck I'll be waiting to hear from you .

I may reimplant too but at first I want to see what its like to live without misfitting silicone attachments. I must make sure seroma will not bug me though. I ńeed to resume my active lifestyle or I'll get depressed. Im missing it so much. Thank you for posting back.
Ps: your real breast shape is very pretty. I hope the shape of mine will be fine too. Sad I have no clue what my breasts looked like before 2006.
Thank you again

It has been such a long time that I can not remember how I felt right after ... Probably relief . Honestly even know 48 hours before putting implants back in I'm wondering if it's the right decision. We shall see together . I just know I don't want huge boobs!!! Trust me when I tell u that you get into your 40's the boobs that where sexy at 20 are no longer !!
Probably the absolute worst thing along the entire process was the scaring . That can never be taken away . If you look up close I am cut so much higher than ever needed to be . For that I blame my first Dr .

If you do decide to re implant after a few years make sure your Dr has a lot of knowledge about fixing the pockets . This is what happened to me and why I had my Specialist operate on me . So many times no one knows what's going on inside our bodies until we open them up . If you do decide down the road to implant please remember to talk with your Dr about your pockets healing etc.. It had been 7 years and mine had still not healed completely. I could tell when I would flex my arms.
I hear you about the exercise... No way am I going to sit still for 8 weeks ..... No way

Oh :-/
I thought that when implants are out tissues grow together.
Do they?

Hi ;) I assumed the tissue would fill in or grow together too. But after 7 years implant free mine had not .

I think each body is so different that it's hard to actually tell . I do know this : I wanted to place a smaller implant in the second time around and had nothing but problems . The implant sloshed around could never settle in the pocket bc the pocket was stretched out from earlier larger implant . I had a couple of surgeries trying to fix this and in the end took all implants out . That was 7 years ago .
Everyone is SO different !! Don't you think this happens to everyone . I think I was just the " lucky" one . Again my first Dr. butchered me and I truly believe a lot of my problems stemmed from him .

Lol .. Ok yes I am going to not exercise top half of my body for 8 weeks who am I kidding :) I just kinda get kookie sitting around and it's been 48 hours ...( smile )
August 29, 2015
You will do great!! You already have beautifully shaped breasts! You a chose a small implant which was a great choice. I think you will like the outcome! Don't be too nervous, it will all be good! Good luck tomorrow !
September 3, 2015
Thank you for sharing this post explant/reimplant pocket issue with me. I believe the best I can do is be aware of as many things as I can. I understand I am powerless over vistually everything but I'm striving to make informed choices at least.
Thank you so much!!!!!

Long story short I ended up going to a cancer specialist who sewed me back together internally with mesh . First dr was a quack . Second dr a wonderful man who I trust .
Tomarrow after living implant free 7 years I'm getting 235cc silicone under the muscle . The cancer specialist will put them in bc he has all notes . I'm ready and confident .
