Where do I begin..... Like a lot of the beautiful...
Where do I begin.....
Like a lot of the beautiful women on this forum I wanted breast implants to gain that womanly confidence of a full bust that I was not naturally blessed with... I had high profile silicon implants (I think they are 470cc- way to big for my petite frame- I'm 50kg and I think 157cm short, lol) under muscle as a young 21 year old, I'm now 31. I wanted implants to feel more womanly and confident within myself, I wanted to fill out tops and feel good in bikinis, I was so envious of others cleavage.
Well the implants did give me that confidence at first but after a few years I grew to live with regret of getting them, I started getting very self conscious of the attention the big boobies got, i started dressing to hide them, feeling uncomfortable while sleeping and exercising, yes there are still times I look down and love what I see but more times than not I feel ashamed of having these fake things inside me... I find myself looking at others with little breasts and being envious of them, wishing that I could of accepted myself for me and loving my little tiny breasts ... Feeling comfortable in my own skin. I feel like I'm now ready to just be me, I feel age has given me the acceptance and confidence to just be me.
I have had these feelings on and off for a good 5 years or more but of late it's consuming me and becoming a mother has reinforced to me how much I really want to put my health first, how much I want to learn to love the real me, even if that is a flat chested me. I want to be able to cuddle my little boy and not have this barrier of plastic between us, I want to set a good example for my children! I also want to sleep on my belly, run without being uncomfortable, buy any type of backless, strapless you name it top... You can't wear those cute outfits with big Mumma support bras! I want to feel light and just be me and I don't want the stress and worry of complications, ruptures etc and having to replace the toxic bags every 10 years or so for the rest of my life......
Why on earth did I do this to myself I ask... Well there's no point dwelling on it, it's time to take action and do something about it..
My first consult with a surgeon is next month, 21st November, I hope he is an understanding surgeon that I feel comfortable with as I contacted my original surgeons office and the assistant on the phone was already talking me out of it without even seeing me or booking me an appointment, "do you really want to remove them without replacing them, you will have saggy skin, do you really want to look like that" and when she went on to say "I don't know why you are worried about health risks, what health risks are there really, I have implants and don't believe there's health risks" I knew when I got of the phone that I needed to do more research and find another surgeon.
I promise to put up some photos to help others on this sight as the photos and stories have helped me so much to finally do something about this.. Its late and I'm on my phone in bed trying not to wake my husband, I will update pics soon.

Found my pre Ba photo... I was tiny!!
Just adding some pics to share my story and help others...
It's so sad that I barely remember being my natural self, it was such a long time ago.. I feel like My identity has been big boobs for such a long time, I hope I can adjust to such a big change if I go through with my explant.
Hard to know how I would now look after all this time, going through a pregnancy and breast feeding...
Looking forward to my consult and having all my questions hopefully answered.

Still waiting on my first consult.... have so many questions.... mainly about recovery...
Feel like i have been waiting forever for my first consult with surgeon to discuss explant....
If all goes well with this surgeon Im hoping i can have explant surgery early next year.... one big concern is how long i will need to revover? i have a 10month old son and im so worried that i won't be able to lift him, care for him as normal while i'm recovering...
Has anyone cared for young children after this procedure? My husband works long hours so if i can't lift bub i will need to get my Mum to come and stay to help me, how long will it be before i can lift my bub again? Getting mummy guilt..... don't like the thought of not being able to be there for my son...
