Hello everyone it's been awhile but I still have not gotten my implants removed, it's more of me being scared of the outcome after they are removed. I'm scared of them being very saggy and looking horrible, so that is my reason I have yet to explant.

Don't be scared!! Get them out if that's what you want. I was in the same situation you're in and I finally had mine removed about 7 weeks ago and i couldn't be more happy!! What a feeling to be normal again!! I went from a 32D back to a very small 32A/AA. They'll look different at first but you should go back to your new normal soon.

Wearing normal fitting clothes and feeling lighter was the best feeling for me. It's very liberating!

Please don't be scared. I was like you and worried so much about the final result when I had my salines out, but now I couldn't be happier. My implants were already huge and with weight I'd put on,they got massive and very ugly, not to mention painful. I had them out when I was 35 and they bounced back within a couple of weeks and looked better than ever. I've posted a review if you'd like to read it.

The unknown and uncertainties of life are always a bit nervy and scary. I notice you've been writing about explanting for about 3 years now? Looks like you have been unhappy for quite some time now. I'd hate to think of you continuing to be filled with regret and having these essentially rule your life. YOU are not defined by your breasts! If they make you unhappy, get them out now or you may have a future of constant thoughts and worries about this, that's why I'm doing it. Like everyone says, you are young and you have a lot of positive factors going for you to bounce back better than us older ladies. Take a good look at your future and decide if you want to continue living this way out of fear or if you want to move on with your life and live it with your natural beautiful self. I wish you the best. My surgery is June 16. You will be able to see results of 50 year old after 6 years of implants, I have hope that it will be just fine, but its def scary. I'm just trusting my instincts and my own body. Xoxo

Hey girl. I suffered mentally like you. One day it dawned on me....if I was so uncomfortable and u happt, but too worried to explant was there a happy medium, or maybe not happy, but at least a middle ground? I decided to drastically down size!! I was a B naturally, got 400cc silicone, and 2 yrs later downsized to 220 with saline and my life literally instantly became normal and happy again! Now, it's important to note, I still wish I never gotthem, and still wish they were out, but I'm still not mentally ready to do it. I'm scared. The downsize just helped me get back to a comfortable state of mind. If I coyld, I would have gone smaller! Maybe to 150 or 175 ccs, but my surgeon worried it wouldnt fit right. We ended up with 200'some filled to 220. In the end, it was the right choice for me. Maybr one day I will downsize again, maybe I can find a surgeon to drain them before removing or replacing smaller (it will be me be able to tell what I want next) or maybe one will pop and I will see if I like it! Haha. Anyway, message me if you want to talk more on the phone. I FEEL for you. Removal is not simple, and being unhappy is miserable. We are here for you.

Good Luck to you, I just read through your story and you sound so much like my own story. I got implants when I was in my early twenties, I was 22-23, now I am turning 27 in July and I have had a change of heart towrd my implants. I was a small A, barely A before my surgery and after my surgery, I will admit, I loved my implants. They were "perfect" and helped my body feel more proportioned. But suddenly this past year, I started to notice sharp pains in my breasts, mostly the left but now its also the right. The pain would be so bad it would wake me up at night. Then one day at work, my whole left side went numb, including my arm, and I was terrified I was having a stroke, I went to the doctor and after a long story, there is an issue with my left, implant, it is displaced and has a Capsular Contractor developing. my left breast is still numb as I type now it is tingly. feels like when your foot is asleep. Anyway, after a lot of back and forth, I decided to explant, I'm doing it June 10th, i set my date out a month to give myself time, but now its less than a week away! best of luck to you and i just wanted to say that you should seriously consider explanting, breasts implants will mean years of surgery for the rest of your life.

You go girl. It took me years to decide. I started thinking about revising/removing my implants about 10 years ago. I should have been brave and just done it back then. But, I didn't ... can't cry over spilled milk. So, here I am now, 46 years old and so happy that I removed my implants. I figured what am I waiting for? do it now, while i am young and healthy and can recover from the surgery. The day before the surgery last week I was so nervous and distracted, I fell while exiting the shower, got a bruise on my butt and it was one of those interesting signs from whomever that spoke to me and i listened. I went in for surgery and was fearful but happy and i was so relieved after i woke up in post op. i was so proud of myself for going through with the surgery and trusting myself. its all good.

Congrat's on your decision. I am so excited for you. You will do great! I had mine removed 2 1/2 weeks ago and am so glad I did. Wish I had done it sooner. This is the best I have felt in years.. Good luck. Happy healing. And please keep us posted. :)

Hello everyone sorry I haven't been on in a very long time, The reason I haven't been on is because I needed some time to think. I have not explant it yet but I currently have a upcoming appointment on Monday to see a different plastic surgeon. The reason The reason I haven't been on is because I needed some time to think.

Here are some current photos! Please note I've gained weight as well!

My breasts were similar size and pavilion before explant. Mines perked up really well x
You are very young and you have had few years the implants so your breasts are not going to be saggy. And it's imposible to be horrible because your natural breasts were really beautiful and not tiny from my point of view!!
You will be able to recovery them!
Nowadays a young women over here share ver story and she has got to recover her small but natural [RS bleep], and they are awesome.
Don't worry about it, the result will be very good.
Remember: The sooner you do it, the better it is!!!!
You will not regret it.
All of reviews I have se en of young woman have been great results!
My best wishes!
