Hello--I always (always!) thought that I wanted big breasts. After I had my two children (and knew I was not going to have any more) I got 360cc saline implants (under the muscle) in March of 2000. Before implants I was a 34B/36A. After implants I was a 34D and am now a 36D. I never breast fed with implants (I nursed my first child for 6 months while my sencond child wanted nothing to do with it). I am about 15 pounds heavier than I was when I got the implants in 2000. I will be 42 in July, I'm 5'3 and weight about 143lbs. I have been considering removal for about 6 years now; I feel that I look heavy and shorter. I run/exercise and the weight and bulk are not comfortable. I always have to buy L/XL tops (my bottom is an 8). I also think my posture is worse than it was before. I feel really embarassed by them---like they scream "HELLO IM FAKE".
I never (never!) wear clothing that is tight or revealing. I tend to wear tunics and babydoll styles--which probably in reality, add weight to my frame too. I hate when my kids come to cuddle with me or lay on my chest and I literally have to physically shift my implant to they can lie down. with all that being said, I am TERRIFIED of how I will look once they are gone. My PS thinks that I will look "pretty much like I did before"..especially since I have gained weight..I have "lots of natural breast tissue"...aka fat..lol! I just called the doctor's office and they have an opening for Tuesday 22 May. Good thing is I don't have time to worry about things too much bad thing is not having enough time to worry! (if that makes any sense). I must say that this site has been a life saver for me--I'm obsessed with explants at the moment. Seriously, my family is sick of hearing about it--"get them out already!" they tell me. So....any thoughts or advice will be reatly appreciated! Thank you all so much. I will try and post pictures tonight...

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Also, I agree wtih louloubear! I can't believe someone would be so presumptuous and rude! Hang in there and keep your eyes on the prize!
Thank you for finding RealSelf and sharing with us! You can talk about explants all you want around here!
I think your surgeon is right, a lot of ladies look about like they did before implants. It's amazing how the human body can snap back.
Looking forward to following your journey!
