Wanna Get Rid of my Breast Implants , Germany

Hello, I´m a 32 year old woman from Germany...

Hello,

I´m a 32 year old woman from Germany and decided to get breast implants when I was in the young age of 22. I did not have any self confidence and felt not like a real women having these little breasts (not even an A-Cup). But I remember that they looked pretty. It was more the comments I got for example from my grandmother. She looked at me and said: "You have nothing under your skirt". That`s how she treated my mum when she was a young girl. So this breast thing runs in the family since years. But I wanna stop it right now and get out of this vicious circle. Thats why I finally made my decicion to remove my implants without replacement in the comming month. I also don`t like the feeling of having these plastic balls in my body, of hiding myself cause of that fact and having something between me and my partner.


I was talking to my doctor yesterday and he told me, that I would need a breast lift when I get the implants out. Now I have the problem, that this would cause more scars and that I would lose more breast tissue. My implants are not that big (180ml, from AA to B) and I´m not sure, if a lift would be necessary. It would be great if you could share your experiences with me pro/contra breast lift after implant removal.

This page is so so helpfull and gives me so much hope!

Hello Ladies! I just need to tell you that I AM sheduled for 05/08/13. My PC was very kind and supportive. I won`t get a lift, just removing implants without replacement. I´m pretty nervous but also happy, that my new life begins really soon. I will post some pictures when I feel ready for it. It`s still not easy to see my breasts now, cause they don`t look bad! But anyway I know that life is never really free having breast implants. Looking forward to my real self now :-)

...these days I´m really scared of the outcome, cause my breasts don`t look bad.
I fear that there will be nothing left after explantation, I was 34AAAA going 34B. Anyway I know that I can`t go on with these plastic bags in my body. I hope that I will be able to accept my natural self.

Hey all you brave ladies out there! It`s a bit more than a week for me to go until I get my implants removed. I´m looking forward to no longer have plastic in my body and this thought already makes me happy! My surgery will be on May 10th, two days later that it was planned. I want to show you the painting of a Bartolomeo Veneto, the ideal of a woman in 1530 :-) Thank you so much for all your support and posting pictures! It helps me so much and gives me the power to make this importand step in my life! LOVE

Hello all you amazing women! It`s done, I had my explantation yesterday and feel so light and free!!!! It was not painful at all and I evan didn`t need drains. So glad I made the decision not to get a lift. My breasts are really flat now, but I love the feeling being 100% me again and no longer have to think about implants! My PC was awesome and very supportive. Thank you all who helped me going through this in posting pictures and telling your stories! I´m not sure if I would have done this step without the help of all you ladies! LOVE :-)

Just want to let you know that I´m healing well and think, that my itzi bitzis fluffed back a little! They are small but I love them so much cause they are warm and smooth and just ME! I want to tell all the women who are thinking about explantation and are still in the process, that it is possible to remove implants! I´m feeling so much better than before, back pain, rip pain and headaches are gone! I also have the feeling, that my skin (face) looks a lot better and healthier than before! My whole body is breathing through :-) All my best wishes for the ones who are still making there decisions and the ladies who are in the healing process, LOVE

hey catpower - you said ' I also have the feeling, that my skin (face) looks a lot better and healthier than before' ...........ive just posted a question about this on my page so i just wanted to ask you about it as i am convinced that since having implants the skin on my face has gone really uneven tone and ive never had that problem in the past. How exactly did the implants affect your face skin and then how has it improved after removal? really interested to hear about it :-) also the bit where you said your boobs are now warm...i also asked this on my post...did you find yours were cold with implants and now after removal theyve gone warm again? sorry for the lengthy comment here but these are 2 main issues i have with the implants and really excited to hear if all corrected after removal!! x
catpower23 24 May 2013
Hey suba77 :-) Concerning the skin on my face: In the last few month before my explantation I noticed, that my face often looks livid and not shiny. After my implant removal my mum told me that my skin looks as if I were pregnant, rosy and bright. So it is still and I am not pregnant! What I still have is a pigmented mole on my forehead and I have the implants in suspicion...I hope this will improve as well. I also never had problems with hyperpigmentation before the implants, makes me thoughtful. Concerning your other question: My boobs often felt a little colder than the rest of my body with implants, cause implants don`t lead warmth as the normal skin/ body. Now that they are out my breasts feel soft and as warm as the rest of my body. I hope I could help you a little bit with my answer in bad english ;-) Yours catPOWER :-)
candyboxx 24 May 2013
Me too - I forgot that feeling as its warm here now but yes - they were always colder than the rest of me!
suba77 23 May 2013
you look great! i hope i get such a good result. I cant wait for my op (no date yet - will find out next week) but equally im quite scared!!! x
catpower23 24 May 2013
For sure you will have great results!!! All my best wishes for you! xx
bronwen72 22 May 2013
You look beautiful and feminine-congratulations on your journey. It only gets better :)
catpower23 24 May 2013
Your right: It get`s better every day :-) Thank you xx
Back To Just Me 22 May 2013
Beautiful result! Congratulations!
catpower23 24 May 2013
You have great results as well!!! So good that we can congratulate on our boobies now that we are on the other side! ENJOY :-)
want2bme 22 May 2013
You look wonderful, and it's so good to hear that you're feeling well, too!
catpower23 24 May 2013
Thank you so much :-) All my best wishes for your surgery and already congratulations to your decision to go the way back to real you - you will feel great! :-)
candyboxx 14 May 2013
Thanks catpower for all the info, I too was a 31/2 AA "in the good old days" pre implants. Mine are coming out May 28. I don't think they will look nearly as good as yours (I'm older 61) but I am past caring. Your skin looks great - not stretched or saggy - congrats!
catpower23 22 May 2013
Hey candybox! Thank you so much for your comment :-) I´m sure that you will look good after Explantation cause I can see from your pictures, that you have a lot of breast tissu, much more than I had. Best wishes for your surgery, you will feel so much better after implants are gone! Yours CATpower
candyboxx 23 May 2013
Thanks! I'm not worried anymore what they will look like. Checking out a duffernt look for summer..will go on a shopping trip after the op, checking out frilly bikini's. Funny everyone's on the beach now and so many are topless...we are all different and I'd rather be thin and flat than fat and overweight anyday!
NervousGirlie 13 May 2013
Perfect results!!! You look so lovely and feminine. Why do we ever think big fake boobs will somehow make us 'more womanly'? Enjoy your natural boobies! :-)
catpower23 14 May 2013
Your so sweet, thank you! :-)
want2bme 13 May 2013
You look beautiful! I'm inspired by your story, and I'm encouraged by your results. Thanks for sharing.
catpower23 14 May 2013
I´m glad that I can inspire other women with my story and help making the decision to get the implants out! Living without the implants in my body feels like heaven :-) Breast implants are such a stupid invention made by a sick society that tells women with little breasts that they are not ok the way they are just to make money. But we are perfect the way god made us :-) Greetings from Frankfurt to Dallas!! I´ve been there many times and even sold vegetables on the farmers market (have family in Daingerfield, TX). Big hugs!
want2bme 14 May 2013
It's a small world, isn't it! I totally agree with you that we're just fine the way God made us. It's amazing to me that friends, family, and even people we hardly know feel that they can comment on how they think we should look. Breasts are intensely personal yet also intensely public. It's crazy. Big hugs back to you!
Little bell 13 May 2013
You look great . I hope mine turn out as good as yours .
catpower23 13 May 2013
Hey little bell! Thank you so much :-) I´m sure your boobies will turn out great! It´s such a good feeling to know that there is no longer silicone in your body. I mean I really didn`t have much breast tissue before my augmentation and as you can see, it is possible to remove the implants even if there was not much tissue before! Good look for your surgery, you will be fine and happy! :-)
Lima girl 12 May 2013
You have beautiful small breasts that will never sag!! You didn't need a lift either!! Excellent results, enjoy your natural look and pull your shoulders back. I was hunching them because of the implants and I can finally breathe and pull my shoulders back without feeling self conscious. Enjoy your renaissance!!
catpower23 13 May 2013
Hey Lima girl! Thank you so much for your support!!! Yea, it really feels like my renaissance, my whole body can breath through and my back pain, my permanent headache and breast pain disappeared right after surgery!!! Big hug from Germany! :-)
nomoreplastic 12 May 2013
Way to go.........You look fantastic.........Enjoy that heartbeat and the New Real You
