Hello Everyone,
First, Thanks to all of you who have already shared your stories. I really didn't know who to talk to about what I am going through and finding this forum has been comforting.
I am 45 years old and have had surgery twice already. After Nursing my first child for 9 months... In 1990- huge implants 360 cc over the muscle by a Doctor named "POUSTI". I did not want them that big and was very sad when I woke up and realized that I looked like a Pam Anderson (wannabe). I actually cried. I was then comforted by all of my friends who had implants (most of them were as I was). They all assured me that I would be fine and happy about it. I never did come to terms with the size but financial and other reasons stopped me from having them made smaller right away.
After my second child I finally had them made smaller by Dr. Nigro (now deceased) in 1999. This time under the muscle. Yes they are smaller, but still to big. The Doctor told me if we went much smaller we would run into the possiblity of breast lift on top of the implants. All I could think of was the T scar and more cutting...I didn't want that.
I can honestly say I wish I never had the implants done in the first place. I was young and stupid-wanting to be what I thought was attractive. Having implants changed my life style. No more stomach sleeping. With under the muscle implants upper body exercise just doesn't work for me. I am weak. And the way your breast look when your chest muscles contract ...ewww, I hate that. And clothing? You think being flat is hard to find clothing? It is much harder finding dresses for a big top and a small bottom. The only thing you look great in is a bikini. Well - at my age now, not so much. ha ha!
Last month I spoke to my husband about wanting them out. I went and saw a PS and spoke about the procedure and he was telling me that I wouldn't like the way I look if I don't replace them with something. Already trying to talk me out of it. Damn it.
I had my anual mamo and they wanted to take a biopsy on a suspicious mass, That was last week. Yesterday, I got biopsy results from my left breast and what they thought could possibly be Cancer, Thankfully is not. However, what the material was is non-polarized material surrounded by Giant cells. ... Silicone
Yep, thats right. Seriously, I don't need these bags to feel good. If people don't like me with little to NO boobs, why do I care again??
I go Monday to see Dr. Apostolides to discuss complete removal. I was told by my breast Doc. Mary Wilde that is impossible to get it all out do to the consistency... I want as much of this foreign goo removed as posible.
I am wondering now...Is this why my hands hurt? My back, and other issues? The day can't come soon enough for these things to be out.
