Hello Ladies!
I am new to this website & am so thankful to God that I found it :) I want to share with you gals every detail of when I get explanted so those of you that are planning to remove your implants will know what to expect.
This is where my story begins! I have saline implants & have had them in 4 years now. I was originally a non-existant A cup to a small C cup (300 cc's filled). They were placed submuscular (under the muscle). I am in my late 20's. I want to have them removed for several reasons; when I workout in the gym & certain exercises contract my chest muscles, I feel them; when I lay on my stomach or on my side, I feel them & since I have very little breast tissue/fat you can feel the ripples & sometimes I can feel like an air bubble in the them.
Why did I get them in the first place? I got them mainly for the wrong reasons ..I was very insecure of myself & the guy I was with at the time just made me feel so insecure. I caught him watching [RS bleep] on several occassions & the girls in the videos had huge balloons. I felt inferior to these women & not sexy enough. I also got them because I was tired of trying to find padded bras & my tops would not fit nice :(. These were the dumbest reasons but we are all human, we all make mistakes, we all learn & we all grow from them (hopefully). Needless to say, he got the boot & I was stuck with a pair of fake hoo haas. I did enjoy them for a while, I will be honest. I got some attention & I did like it & my confidence went up. I realized the attention was for my fake boobs, not for me. That's not the attention I want nor the attention I deserve. So out these bad boys go!
That insecure part of me is in the past now. If I knew then what I know now I would've never done the surgery & put that money towards something better (a house, a car ..a nice vacation). I want to have them out to avoid future surgeries & health issues. I want to love myself & be content with what God gave me naturally. If a man truly loves you, he will love you for you, not for your outer appearance & some pair of fake [RS bleep]! Beauty fades with age but the heart that is in love with a soul, remains forever!
Here is where my journey to loving myself & going back to the old begin ...
I went to a few consults & found a doctor I really felt comfortable with yesterday. I am going to schedule the explantation today & will hopefully have these things out in a few short weeks! He is basically going to remove the implants through the same incision that they were placed; in my case, the nipple. Since, I have little to no breast tissue, he is not going to remove the capsule & assured me whatever little bit of capsule did form around the implant, will dissolve in my body throughout several weeks & that it was safe to leave it in. I heard the same answer from several of the other doctor's I saw. The estimated surgery time is between 30-45 minutes. I am going to be placed under local anesthesia with light sedation. He basically explained I would feel like I've had one too many margaritas lol. No drains are needed for my procedure & no exercise for 4 weeks -- This one will be difficult since I am very much into fitness & weight lifting but I will have to twiddle my thumbs around during that time. Maybe, I will get into a new hobbie ;) He did say, I am to expect some sagging but being that I am young, haven't had children yet & my implants weren't the size of pam anderson's; I should be able to bounce back nicely. He also warned me that I may be a bit depressed & that is normal. Just as it took time for me to get used to my implants, it will take me time to get used to being without implants.
I have several questions about the surgery/post op & am hoping maybe some of you gals can answer!
1. How does it feel to have them removed? Does it feel weird? Is the skin really loose & dangling around?
2. Have any of you gals bounce back to pre-implant breast?
3. Any pain after the surgery? If so, how long did it last?
4. How is it like to exercise again after not being able to for a while?
5. Any good / comfy compression or front zip bra's you gals can recommend?
6. How are you dealing with post-booby blues?
Any other comments/experiences of what I can expect that you gals can share would be great! God Bless you all for putting out your stories on here :) I'm sure we will soon see a trend of women wanting to be natural again! Small boobies rule!

Removing Saline Implants in 2 weeks!
Iron_BabyJuly 19, 2013
Hi Ladies,
Just wanted to give you an update! So I went ahead & scheduled my explant (implant removal) in 2 weeks! These are going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life! I have to fill out my paperwork on Monday & get the prescriptions. I am anxious, excited, nervous ...a bundle of mixed emotions! I know that I will experience some depression & I'm preparing myself mentally for that now. At the end of the day, I know in my heart, I am making the right decision to do this for myself. I am at a completely different place in my life right now --- Heading to the more natural everything route & within this time, I have rebuilt a deep relationship with God. Our bodies are temples, sacred & should remain natural ..just as God created us. We should not fill out temple with artificial crap for the pleasure of a man that is only interested in us because of boobs! We need to be content with what we were given & stop complaining that we don't have big enough [RS bleep] --- there are other bigger & more important problems to deal with. STOP! Think about your life for one second, it may not be the greatest but remember this, there are a lot of people out in the world far worse than you right now. You are rich & abundant in other aspects, whether it be your health, your career, your fitness level, your talents ...we are all different & all beautiful in our own ways. Let's stop comparing our boobs & who has the bigger pair. Let's end the superficialty & differences amongst us!
Ok, I'm done ranting now lol I should seriously write a book :) I really get into this stuff.
I will update you gals daily & hope that I can help change someone's life & view on beauty & life! God works in mysterious ways, you were meant to read this post & take with you some sort of lesson or thought ;)
Have a blessed day!

Thanks for your story. I just had mine removed 3 days ago and already know I made the best decision ever. I only had them for a few months and hated them and my body just was not being very accepting of them. My pec muscles never relaxed and I had a hard time getting a deep breath. That is completely gone. I'm still sore, but getting better every day. The tissue is still quite squishy, but doesn't hurt. The only thing that hurts is the incision and it's just sore. I'm very happy that I had them out and didn't wait longer to try to get used to them. I could tell they just weren't for me. I'm glad you found a surgeon and are getting them out soon. I think you'll be so glad you did! I look forward to following your journey.

Hi Mommy2Two! Thanks so much for your feedback :) When I first got them in, I cried everyday for several weeks because I absolutely hated them! Then everyone said, I'm the one that made the decision to do this, so I should just live with it. So I did. Eventually, I got used to them but I can still feel them when I do certain movements. These are foreign objects & they will never truly be a part of us no matter how much we want them to be. I am just happy in 2 weeks, I will be implant free & natural again! I look forward to hearing about your recovery & how your healing & doing :) Wishing you a speedy recovery!

"If a man truly loves you, he will love you for you, not for your outer appearance & some pair of fake [RS bleep]! Beauty fades with age but the heart that is in love with a soul, remains forever!" I love this! Can you make a bumper sticker out of it? LOL.
Thank you for starting your wonderfully written story. I'm excited for you. It sounds like you're very much at peace with your decision.
Green Temple has written a good post on her experience you might want to check out. And here's a well done review you might want to check out as well.
Please keep us posted!

Hello Angiemcc!! Thanks so much for the positive feedback! That would be a very neat idea to make a bumper sticker out of my quote :) I will def check out the links you provided. I am very at peace with myself now. I don't want to sound like a preacher lady but I started praying again & feel so close to God, it's such a beautiful feeling.

Hi!! I am 23, and removing in 3 weeks! I was a B cup before surgery 5 weeks ago. Even though my results are almost perfect, I cannot get over what I have done to my body. I see my old body in a whole new light now. Wish I never did it!
I am glad you gave the boy the boot. I hate that he influenced your decision. My fiance, as well as my family and friends all told me NOT to do it. Which I think makes me look like the biggest idiot, because I did it anyway, and regret it. Talk about a giant "I told you so" . I have my review up with pics incase you're interested. I am excited to follow your journey to removal and getting updates on how you heal! I'm sure you will "bounce back" just fine. There are many women on here who post pictures and they look almost EXACTLY like they did before implants!
July 19, 2013
Hi Theoldme2!! We are removing almost about the same time :) I will tell you exactly what to expect as I will be removing one week before! I too was in complete shock after I got the implants, they were huge & just not part of me. Wish I could've explanted sooner but everything happens for a reason & to teach us a lesson. Lesson learned, now I'm ready to move on & start reading the next chapter in my life! It's crazy when our loved ones give us good advice, yet we are too blind to take it because we are enclosed in ourselves. My mom gave me a "I told you so" lol very much like a mother would but thankfully she will be with me to remove the implants & has been supportive either way. Can wait to bounce back to my non-existent A Cups! :) I can go braless & not have heavy weight to carry around! Keep us posted on your journey as well :) Good luck on your explant! Keep in touch!

Looking forward to your journey, I have been in a holding pattern... seeing doctors considering revision hearing all the things which scar me... more scars, lifts ricks of cc and going more cc for under muscle & cutting my muscle! Would any man for aesthetics slice themselves up this way? No! most are weird looking and proud oft it. I have paid for many consults and some for free ALL of them say something a little different. RE: placement some would use my same pocket at my urging, some refuse to use the same pocket and want full unders or dual plane or neo, most want a lift on at least 1 side but some doughnut scar and others lollipop scar which turns into an anchor scar since I have smiles in my inflammatory folds. Absolutely silicone with the certainty of replacement in 10yrs, if no lift now I will want one soon...CC seems inevitable since I already have it. Removal may be huge shock but so will all these bills! I like my money for security. Boobs and being broke will not relieve my insecurity.

Hi Nicole N! It is a has been a very tough thing for me as well. I do agree that all doctors have different answers. Why can't they all say the same thing right? What I did to put myself in control of the situation & at ease was do lots of research & learn the different names of the procedures. I went to a few PS's with a list of questions & went in prepared & determined to question his or her method. Never stop asking questions. A really good PS will answer all of them in great detail until they are blue in the face. Personally, I really decided to do this for myself for a variety of reasons, such as, I feel that I have spiritually found myself & love myself enough to get rid of this burden, I don't want to deal with financial issues in the future (cost of replacements), I've read lots of horror stories on how implants can actually make you ill (I think I have a few symptoms; really tired all the time, forgetful, kinda depressed, insomnia - I have never had these symptoms before implants & my life hasn't changed since then), I can't sleep on my stomach for fear that one will pop, I can't workout comfortably because I can 'feel' them when my chest muscles contract, when I sleep on my side - I hear the water sound & feel air bubbles, I have lots of rippling due to my thin skin & no breast tissue, we have a toxic & fake material inside of us that should not be there & we need to love & value ourselves more ...that about sums up all of my reasons as to why I want them out! The list outweighs the need to keep them in! I love myself, any guy that doesn't like my boobs or value me as a human being does not deserve to be with me. Like the saying goes, "if you don't love me at my worst, than you don't deserve me at my best."

10 Days Til Explantation!
Iron_BabyJuly 22, 2013
Hi Ladies,
Here is an update! I went today to the PS office & signed my forms, got my prescriptions, took the before photos & am officially 10 days out from being explanted! I have a lot of mixed feelings. I know I am doing the right thing for my body though so there is no backing out. Now, tomorrow I'm going to get blood work done to send the results back to the PS. This weekend I am going to buy a front closure compression sports bra! The PS told me to get a really tight one to hold everything well in place. I saw Walmart has a few options :)
Well, all I can say is I am somewhat excited to be have these things removed! I guess I just want to remember what I felt like before implants ..I don't know how I will feel without them since I've had them for 4 yrs! I'm kinda nervous & scared because doctors are scary in general lol but for the most part I really can't wait to get them out! I've read so many horror stories online with saline implants causing people to feel sick & some even had mold growing in them! Talk about toxic yuck! I feel like I have some of the symptoms I've read online, such as; fatigue, insomnia, kinda depressed & really low energy. I was the oppositve of all of those 4 years ago! Seriously looking forward to returning to my natural self again.
The doc said, if I ever want to get implants again, I can...my reply, "no thanks doc, I was born this way & I will exit out in the same way!" lol
Hope you ladies have a great day! Stay strong, remain in faith --- YOU are doing the RIGHT thing by removing your implants!
