Tired of the Fake Feeling - Alexandria, VA

Great to hear an update! I had mine out 4 weeks ago. I'm an A/B. I thought I was going to be a B but the bras are a bit big. Not too big though so I'll wear them for four more weeks. On day 8 after surgery I did a scene in mark Wahlburg and the Rock's newest movie "pain and Gain" I was hired for stunts. I know I shouldn't have done it because of it only being 8 days after but I couldn't turn down that opportunity. During one take the "security guard" who shoves me shoved me right in my stitches. He didn't know. But my job was to run out of the salon screaming. That time it wasn't acting! Hahaha! It hurt but I was fine. By day ten I started working out. Im glad that I got rid of the implants. I lost 3 pounds right away!

Green Temple You are looking great!!

Thanks so much Preciosa! I need to post another photo since they have decreased in size. But I am so happy the be free! How are you doing?

Hi GreenTemple. .I am schedules to have my implants out after 30 years of having them. I went to see my ps yesterday to see about doing a lift at the same time, he said I don't have enough breast tissue to do that. (i wanted the left areola sized down to match the R) He said I had 2options . . 1) to get reimplaned and do a lift at the same time, he said the implant would give him something to lift over . . .2) have the implants removed and give myself 6 months to heal and then have fat transfer. He said he has 6 ladies that have had the fat transfer done and are very happy with good results. He is one of the doctors that was trained and did the trials on it. So thats my plan of action. July 6th is my explant date. Not really nervious about it. YET

I'm scheduled for a breast lift consult end of August. My doc didn't want to do it at the same time as the explant because of healing issues and the fact that my breasts will change over the next several months. And they have actually gotten smaller even since the explant, so I'm glad I'm going to wait. I rushed out and bought all new bras and now they're too big on me in the cup area. So I bought a bunch of those genie bras that have the modesty inserts and I'm good with those cuz.

Good luck!! I feel so much better w/o mine. I had a massage last week and was able to lay on my belly w/o stuffing a pillow under me.

Can I just say a huge thank you for posting your photos as after seeing how your breasts look 2 weeks after the removal of implants I have booked my surgery!!! I am 37 and have had them put in after having my 2 sons at the age of 30. They were 325cc. I was originally a 34B and after having the implants in and a third child with them in (plus a few unwanted pounds) I am now a 36DD!!! I am only 5ft4 and a size 10/12. My surgery is in July. I can't wait to be smaller and back to myself!

Thank you so much Greentemple as I am hoping mines fluff up as they are rather droopy with the impants, Fingers crossed for me and I wish you luck and much fluffiness lol xx

You'll be so hapy, Chezz!!! I had no idea that implants would actually make me sag, especially after I had the breast lift. I'd have never, ever gotten them in. Doc suggested them to "round out the top" after the lift. I grew, too. With menopause and gaining weight, I morphed to a 44D. I was a 40B before the implants, C afterwards and then ultimately D. Back to C now.

Got a call from the drs office today. They had a cancellation and moved me up from 11:15 to 8:15 on the 30th. I think I am mostmlookingmforward to my neck not hurting in a bathing suit. 4 days and a wake up to go. I am beyond excited.

Awesome!  I am so happy for you!  I know time between making your decision and actually having the surgery is crucial!  I d not want to wait!  Now you don't have to Yeah you!  Keeping you in prayer!

I love the way you are so positive and uplifting to everyone GreenTemple, thank you! And you have very nice looking breasts now :) x

I'm scheduled to have mine removed on the 30th. I had the original BA in 2001 and they were just way too big. I had smaller implants last June but still not happy. I am 46 years old and I am ready to be just me again. I think I am finally in a place where I am happy with me and I can't wait to not be carrying these around anymore. I am worried about how they will look after, but small saggy boobs have to be better than saggy implants :)

Nowandzen you are not the only one. I am so looking forward to cute tops and pretty bras. I have become a gym rat and gone back to my days of running and I can't wait to be rid of them. I am so glad to have found this forum. And as a side note GreenTemple I am an Alexandria girl born and bred..but I've been a 'Bama beach girl for the past 18 years.

It has been a few weeks since your surgery, how are the "girls" shaping up? And how are you feeling?

Follow up: It's been 11 days for me and the only thing I'm feeling are the stitches if I stretch too much. I laid on my stomach yesterday and it felt normal!!!! There's not that fullness on the top, that's about it. I did go down from a D to a C bra size which I'm thrilled about. It's funny because when I lay on my back, they flop all the way to the side. LOLOLOL!!! I didn't remember that happening before implants. I'm sure it did. But during the "implantation" at least part of them stood up like a muffin top. Now, it's the pancake look.
