First of all, I have to say sorry to everyone who is reading this review for my very bad english... but I'll do my best in writing down my experience.
About me: I'm 22 years old and I had my breast augmentation last 29th October 2013 (only 8 weeks ago), 325cc under the muscle, axillary incision.
I started to feel bad about my implants about a month ago, when post-op pain went away. I just don't feel like myself ever since I've got the implants. I hate being always aware of them inside my body, I hate how they feel when I'm lying on my bed, and I feel like they are kind of a "barrier" between me and everyone or everything I want to do. I'm surely less active since I've got my implants - I had to give up martial arts for recovery and now that I'm ok, I don't feel like starting again even though I know I could do it. Moreover (I'll be VERY honest about it, sorry again), I like sex VERY much, I've always been a very sexual person - unfortunately I'm not enjoying it since I had my implants, because of the feeling of having that obstacle between me and my boyfriend... I'm so upset with that.

Well, I could keep writing about all the things I hate of having implants, but I'm sure all of you know many of these things :) so I'll only add that I've scheduled my explant for the 31st December (well, I'll do that tomorrow but I hope there won't be any problem). I'll had implants for only 9 weeks by then.
I want to stay positive and think that I'll start the new year with my "old" little boobies, which I miss very very badly, wishing them to bounce back to what they were, and forgetting about those implants forever.

Sometimes a decision, after it has been made, is no longer the right decision. If they don't feel right for you, you are better off having them out. I hope all goes well for you on the 31st

You're right. This is such a hard and expensive lesson for me, I only wish to look the same as before surgery, and then I'll learn to love me the way I am (and NATURAL).

I'm sure given the short while you have had your implants, that you 'll return to "normal" pretty quickly. Good for you for listening to your intuition and going ahead with the removal. Will be thinking of you on the 31st. Merry Christmas!

I really hope you're right. I don't care about the scars, as they're pretty hidden (they're in the armpit, and removal will be through axillary incision as well), but I wish my breasts return to what they used to be... I'm afraid, which I suppose it's normal, but I am really excited too! Only one week left! Thanks for your words!

I understand you very well I feel the same . I got my BA July 31 and the next they I got them I knew I want them out of my body... Now I want to remove my implant ASAP I hope God help me because I so nervous to go under anesthesia more than the first time... Any way good luck. And happy new year!

Don't be afraid of going under anesthesia! I think this is the most controlled part of both breast augmentation and removal ;) Good luck and happy new year

I'm sorry you're realizing that implants aren't for you. Know that you've likely learned a lot about yourself through this process. Please keep us posted on this part of your journey. You're a strong woman!

We all have to be strong! There's no other way we can face it. I'm glad I realised that early, and hoping this to be a positive thing for my outcome. Really scared and impatient too.

Very nervous! But keep thinking positive. I'll trust my surgeon. She said everything is going to be OK. I've been writing down all the things my surgeon said will be favorable to the appearance of my breasts post explant, and it had helped me a lot:
- The implants have been there for a short time (only 9 weeks) so the outcome will look very similar to my pre-op (she said I will look like I had never had surgery except for the scars, but it's difficult to believe it).
- I'm young and the quality of my skin is good. Hopefully things are going to go back to normal smoothly.
- My muscle had not been cut because the implants were placed through axillary incision, so she's not expecting muscular distortion (I haven't got any actually) or any problem related with the muscle.
- Explantation will be a simple and pretty fast procedure, through the same initial incision in the armpit, as I haven't any complication with my implants.

I can't believe everyone arround me is being so supportive with my explant, considering that most of them know how self-conscious I was about my little breasts, and how badly I wanted implants. I was expecting them to think I'm crazy or wilful, but they are all saying that I'm a wise person, that I'l do the best for myself, that this had been a mistake and I'm only trying to find a solution. I'm glad to have this kind of people arround me. Everything is going to be OK...

Tomorrow is the day...!
I've realized that writing helps me a lot! Frist, I wrote a list of advantages and disadvantages of both having the implants and my natural breasts; in my last update I wrote a list of things that may be positive for my outcome after surgery; and now, as I know that I'll probably have negative thoughts after surgery, I'm writing down all the reasons I have now for getting the implants out. Maybe I'll post it later.
