Ok girls , so I've been meaning to start my own...

Ok girls , so I've been meaning to start my own review as I'm on here supporting women who are removing their implants and I thought it's only right I try to help others also, so here is my story.
I'm 4ft 11 in height and I'm now 32 years of age, married last year ( in fact a week before our beautiful little girl was born in August 2013 ) I'm wearing English size 6 clothes ( American size 0 ) and weigh 6st 12lb.
I had my implants 10 and a half years ago now, 1 month before my 22 birthday so I thought I was wise enough to make such a decision as to have breast implants.
I had them done with the support if my family, felt a little more womanly and confident and was happy clothes looked a little better, as back then , everything was low cut tops where bobbies were required to push out the top. So I was happy, always thought they looked a little fake, but hey ho, I had boobs woop! I went from a 30aa to a 30d and I had silicone gel 300cc on top if the muscle.
I've always been into fitness and so after healing carried in with exercise.
Not quite two years later I started having problems with my kidneys , liver, low oxygen around my body, fatigue, numb arms, but didn't think it could of been anything to do with the implants. In the following years I have had 3 infections in my body that has caused my liver to start shutting down and the doctors have still to this day not known what was causing the infection or where it is in my body.
So time elapsed and last year as I mentioned we had a little princess ( who is my miracle baby and just beautiful ) I breast fed and now she is on bottle ( as I could keep up with her demands. - loves her food lol ) anyhow the appearance of my breasts look the most natural they ever have due to a little stretching, before pregnancy over the years they had grown to about 30e during breast feeding they grew to a whooping 30ff and now I'm back into 30e. I saw my consultant last year, recommended by a friend if mine who is a cancer surgeon ( so I trusted his recommendation ) and I wasn't disappointed, he wanted to leave it for another 3 months to let the breast tissue recover from breast feeding and then see me again, which brings us to today :) ( 24/01/2014 )
I'm seeing him at 1030hrs
He did ask previously why I wanted the out as he said they seem ok but to be honest, I didn't tell him about the health problems I just simply said, " I look back at the pictures prior to implant and I think - why did I have them put in, I was small and cute " but today I will also discuss the health implications and just see what reaction I get.
I will update later as well as put up some pictures
Bye for now :)

Hello ladies
So a little exciting news, I had my consultation yesterday. My boobies have tightened a little since that last time I saw him , but I have also lost a little breast tissue :/ SO he said probably removing the implants now will more than likely help the breasts to retract better, than if I leave it another few years and then end up looking like a " rock in a sock " lol
I asked him how long I'd have to wait, he said " when do you want them out?" And I cheekily replied " next week " he said he knew he had a theatre running next week and to call the secretary to expand the day for an extra hour, he must of already called her to let her know as when I phoned there was no confusion ( a part from an earlier payment , to which I'd paid and the money had left my account, so not happy about this ) anyway , all booked in for next week 29th Jan 2014.
My mom is coming with me and a dear friend is going to look after my baby for the day, then my mother is staying with me for 10 days ( lovely :) free food and cooked for haha )
Anyway .... Now I'm getting nervous, scared of what they will look like as he did say that until they are out, we won't truly know ( makes sense ) he said ill probably be smaller than what I previously was ( pre implants ) that I'm not concerned with, it's droopy skin ( spaniel ears ) I'm mainly concerned with, But I'm praying they will be ok. I'm believing I'm doing the right thing as everything is going as I had dreamt, I just sincerely hope the boobie angel will sprinkle some extra fluffing powder on them for good luck :()
X x X pictures to follow, bare with me , it's 0400am here ( can't sleep ) but I'll find my before and after pictures and post a recent one once I get up.
Night night for now ZzzZzzzzzz :)

Oh my gosh, that is great news that your doctor was able to get you in next week! It sounds like he was calm and caring. I hope that after explantation you never have any of those nasty infections again. Keep us posted!
January 25, 2014
Thank you :).
I guess the sort time scale means less thinking about it. I will keep everyone updated :)
January 26, 2014
I wish you the best of luck! I get mine out Feb 5th after only having them in for a month.
January 26, 2014
Awww thank you so much, I'm getting a little more nervous now as each day grows nearer, but I still feel I'm doing the right thing. It will hopefully avoid future surgery ( having to keep replacing ) and cost and worry of further health complications x
I will keep up dating, good luck also with your explant. I guess only having them a month you don't feel happy with them at all?

I mean they look great but it was just not the right decision for me and I wish I would have thought about it more.

I think were all feeling the same there chick, I really wish I had seriously thought about the implants before I got them, I thought I did but I only looked at all the positives and didn't even think there could be complications with them, the only thing the Ps said at the time ( not my surgeon removing them ) was there could be capsular contraction but that will show within the first 6 months, well since then I've discovered that cc can taken place the longer you have them in your body. Let a line everything else, mould, bacteria, valve problems with saline implants, gel bleed, migrating silicone, brain fog, fatigue, infection , and the list continues,
It's just so lovely to see all the ladies on here feeling so confident about removal and being so supportive towards one and other.
I think tomorrow I'll be having butterflies in my belly but I know it's 100% for the best.

I'm excited for you I'm a petite chic too, I also read you had yours over the muscle , I think being over the muscle you should not have any muscle problems after. You will be surprised at how your breast will contract back it takes about a good month and 1/2 to see this. But mine really felt good around 4 1/2 months still a little tender. But they are still changing and healing still. I wish you the best, you will be okay:)

Arrh thank you for your comment, really appreciated. I hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions. How long have you had your implants? and have you also had children? this is where I have noticed most of the stretching took place.
My PS did say to give the total contraction time of about 6 months, so from what you have said , it sounds familiar?
When did you start showering properly? and did they say when you can expose yourself to swimming?
3 weeks after the op I'm going on holiday and just wondered what your views would be on swimming? How were your scars looking around 3-4 weeks post op?
I won't be going crazy on holiday, its just I may want to take my baby in the water with my husband as its the first holiday away together as a family :)
Sorry for all the questions
Thank you again x

I only had mine for a short period 4 1/2 months and removed them cause of pain and the size , it takes about two weeks for the scar to close up all the way and then I used surgical tape to cover scars when I layed out , I've seen girls that have had them longer than me heal better than me so I wouldn't worry about that you will probably have more than you did to started with.

Your posts have really helped me and given me hope! My pre-BA pics from when i was 19 look almost EXACTLY like your preBA pics. I am now 31, same size as you and have had a baby that i breastfed. So i feel like i can really relate to you and that i can realistically have results similar to yours, which would be fantastic because you look fabulous! Thanks again for sharing...you never know who you might help and you have definitely helped me in feeling like an explant is a real option for me and i can still look great afterwards! Would love to see updated pics to see how youre coming along physically and emotionally.
