Breast Implant Removal: Stories

Hi, I was in the same boat and just got mine out. They feel amazing! Try to find a doctor to accept you want them out and go with that doc. That's what I did. Took a few appointments then finally found one willing to do the explant and he was amazing. It feels wonderful without the weight and worry. I'm getting a push up bra in a few weeks. Good luck to you!!

Hello, I am having explant on March 20th and the worry that I had has eased with each day as the surgery gets closer. I am 52 and have had mine in for 23 years, I will not be doing a lift or having anything else put in but I will be accepting myself however I look. I saw several PS that said I would be saggy and flat and I should replace them with smaller implants I only have 360's. Well finally I met a PS that listened to me, he is kind, gentle and honest. I went for my post op last week with a list of questions, will my nipples sink in, will I look horrible, will I have flat sacks on my chest ect the ususal concerns we all have. Now mind you he doesn't have a crystal ball but he has experience and lots of it. I expext to be an A cup with some sag and I am ok with that. I think the best advice is to take them out wait 6 months to a year and decide from there what you want to do. As you research you will see that so many of the woman have skin that shrinks and forgives their body. Hang in there and listen to your heart.

They usually advise other smaller ones...but remember it is your body. I had 800's for 13yrs and just had them out 3 wks ago. I feel sooooo much better. Yes, at first it was quite shocking, but I do not want to go through any more surgeries and love my saggy boobies. They are already look and feel so much better. You look like you have very tight skin in the pic...will probably bounce right back to the littlies in no time. :)

It seems like a lot of doctors recommend smaller/different implants rather than removing them because it's hard for them to make a change that doesn't make you look fabulous. It goes against their grain.

There are other surgeons willing and happy to remove your implants for you, though. You might just have to call around and go on some other consultations.

Yes, your skin might sag a little, but your breasts may also bounce back surprisingly well. If you haven't already, scroll through other breast implant removal reviews on this site and look at the before and after pics.

Good luck and please keep us posted!
