WORTH IT$1,500
I got 450 saline implants in 2009 because I had lost my natural big boobs when I lost 20lbs. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I miss my natural boobs, I hate how big these make me look, my husband doesn't like them, I feel like my chest hurts all the time, I get comfortable when I sleep, They don't make pretty bras that fit me... I can go on forever. I want these things out ASAP.

You will feel so much better once you get your implants out. Its been almost a month since I had mine removed and I feel lighter and healthier every week that I continue to heal. Best of luck to you - hope you can find a PS and set a date soon! :)

I can't wait! I feel like ever since I got the implants I just never look thin no matter what I do. Did you ever feel like that?
December 30, 2013
Absolutely! And now, everyone says I look so much younger and thinner! You will definitely notice a big change in that area - I always looked like I was all boob in pictures, which made me look a lot bigger than I actually was. Now I look like I dropped about 20 lbs. :) You will love the new you! :)

Went to my consult
I walked into my consult today wanting an explant & tummy tuck, I walked out wanting a replacement smaller implant, lift & tummy tuck. Ugh. All totaled up to a whopping 17,300. Now that I'm home I realized that the doc just really talked me into it at the moment & I know I really do just want an explant. I think I'll be setting up a consult with a different doctor soon cause I want to try to explant first & see how they bounce back. The doc was pretty sure that I would not be happy with my results if I just ex planted alone. Now I'm so confused on what to do.

Don't listen to that stupid fu*cking idiot! Sorry, in pretty passionate about this, since it happen to me. I wanted explant, doc said the same thing 3 years ago & I down sized.

I am now 2 months explant & loving it! Should have down what "I" wanted 3 yrs ago!

I think you are making the right choice for yourself. Who are they to question what you want & don't want. Hey are not you & you are the only one that must live with your decision, not them. After they get paid, they move on, leaving you to deal with your decision.

You know that's exactly how I felt when I left. How's he to know my outcome? Seriously. I'm gonna set up a consult with a different doc.

After reviewing your story I'm considering flying to Florida for this explant. You did it under a local anesthesia? That's what I want & looks like the doc did an amazing job. I need a vaycay anyways!
January 15, 2014
Good for you! I wish I would have done the same thing. However I trusted him, because he did it the first time. After the 2nd surgery he retired. Literally 2 months after he got paid AGAIN! Grrr
January 15, 2014
Yes under local. It was very easy. And with what the doctor wants to charge you, your better off getting them explanted & taking the trip for the same price, if not less. Lol
January 15, 2014
Yeah if you were talked into smaller implants I think you'll quickly regret it. You will look amazing with just the explant. If you end up wanting to lift later, ok. But go with your gut--explant and be dree

I set up a consult with my surgeon who put the implants in. I haven't been back to see her since 2009. Even over the phone they were trying to talk me into a lift. I just want these thing out & no other work. I did go ahead & set up a consult for February 3rd, so hopefully she'll be willing to explant without replacement or lift!

What did you decide on?

Now that I've lost more baby weight I'm okay with my implants for now. Ive decided to just put having an explant on the back burner for now & take care of my tummy tuck first. Going in tomorrow!!!
