I had my silicone gel implants for 3 years. I started working out alot and I started to get a sharp pain on my left breast and a wrinkle there as well. I decided to get them taken out. Its been a few days now im still recovering but I feel much better already. The shock of how small they are now if still affecting me but I heard that is pretty common. Can anyone give me some more feedback about how the breast reacts after? Any advice?

Great review?

Hi. I had arthritis like pains, burning, massive headaches, hair loss. I have had them out and a botched lift. But I feel 10 years younger (and I lost weight) I miss them once in a while. But research into stem cell breast growth has me hopeful. Good luck:)

Hi. I've had my implants for 20 years. I get constant pains through my left breast and have decided to remove them. It's very uncomfortable.

I'm worried about my size after, but i've decided that i just want to be me. I'm in Ontario and OHIP is paying for the removal, and in 4 - 6 months, i'll get a lift and that'll be that.

I figure that even for piece of mind, i'd rather have them out and know it's all good than have them and always wonder.

Hi there, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling upset that your breasts are smaller, I'm in the same boat as you. Yesterday I had my implants removed after x2 impants 'goning hard' I made the decision to remove them. I am feeling better that they have gone as I have always felt like that the implants were obviously not natural and did not belong to my body.. please can you write back to e to advise me, the doctor said that I should allow 6months for the reduction to settle down have your breats changed at all since the first few days of removal? I look forward to yuor reply. :-) thank you
