Thank you for sharing your story and pics. Your results are beautiful. I have had 2 surgeries and am looking to explant in August or September if I don't get an August date. Once again, thanks! And congratulations!
Thank you - you are very kind - good luck with your explant x
Thank you for sharing your story! I was going to book an appointment with dr nathan but the receptionist said he was not working with them for the moment :( instead I got a horrible surgeon who completely put me off the removal! i shall call them back.. you look great :)
Oh I am sorry that you had a bad experience, but I am glad that it hasn't put you off. Don't give up - there must be other supportive surgeons out there. When I researched on the internet for other surgeons at Transform a woman was named as a Mrs Lutz had good reviews - who did you see? The manager woman whom I saw first before the consultant was against just removal and talked alot about the need for a lift etc, and how emotionally it would effect me - Dr Nathan was straight to the point - tell it like it is .......I have just checked on Transform site and Dr Nathans name is still on there - don't be put off by his manner if you get to see him - he will not pander to you but be blunt and truthful. Good luck and if you are sure it is what you want then go for it!
You Look great!!!!! Wish you lots of fluffiness in your recovery xx

I had my implants put in when I turned 30 as a treat to myself. I have always had small breasts and after breast feeding 3 children and being left with less than before I decided that I would bite the bullet and go for implants - everyone seemed to be doing it at the time and I felt that the risk was minimal.......8 years later I found I had PIP.

I did as everyone else did I am sure at this discovery - went through a variety of emotions ranging from shock, to fear to shame and then finally to a feeling of certainty that I would no longer allow this problem be a burden to me (I previously used to have times of guilt when I thought what I had done to my healthy body and was shamed by it) so I decided to get them removed.
I thank all of you lovely ladies who posted your images onto this site as without you, your honesty and your journey details I might not have felt as strongly as I did. That is also the reason that I am writing my story as I feel that it is important for other women to know that they have a choice and don't have to go for a replacement - you will like the result without the implants.

I returned to my clinic and thankfully had a surgeon (Dr Nathan) who appears to prefer natural looking breasts, he reassured me that mine would return to pre op status and I would not need a lift - he also showed me images of woman who had had removals in the past - whilst he did not say mine would be perfect (they wern't before) he did not say they would be awful or that I would regret - he was confident that I would not be disappointed. Tranform agreed to remove them for free - I just need a capsulotomy to the cost of £250. I booked myself in for the soonest appointment available.

2 Weeks ago I had them removed at at the transorm clinic in London. Thus far I am happy with the results. I went for my check up with the nurse yesterday and all is well.

My breasts are the same shape as previously and my clothes fit so much better! I have returned to work (after 2 days) and have had no pain nor discomfort (apart fromt eh scars itching now! Driving me nuts!) and have not had to take pain killers as have felt very good.

The look and size of my breasts I am happy with - although it took me 3 days to look at them without a bra (more because I am a wimp than anything else and was scared!) I have a dip in htem where I would expect to have one and would not be disappointed if they did not "fluff" as many speak of, as I am sure that this is what they would have been like anyway.
I am very happy now to be all woman without a foreign body in me - I am healthy, recovering and looking foward - anyone who is considering removal with no replacement, I would advise that you do it - you will not regret it - Choose LIFE!
I taken pictures which I will upload later.

Thank YOU for sharing your story with us. I'm glad your results are good and that you're liking the way your clothes fit better. It must be a relief to have those PIPS gone.

Indeed it is - your site was a great support to me during the decision process, it made me stronger, less scared and far more certain I was doing the right thing - which I now know I did - thank you x
It takes alot of courage to change our outward appearance. It's a big step to have implants removed once you have had them. We tend to think or how other will look at us, just a little bit of vanity I guess. Hope you are doing well after you surgery. My explant is schedule July 6th, just 3 day away.
You will be fine - and don't worry about your appearance and what people think - I haven't told anyone about the explant as not many knew I had implants, (I moved not long after having them) people have commented on how I look but have said I look like I have lost weight - I have (I lost a stone as I wnated to use this as the excuse) but I think that they would have said this anyway. I didn't tell anyone as I thought I may get paranoid that people were talking about me - especially if I hated the way I looked after.....I don't and they aren't - people are too busy with their own lives - and rightly so. Have you told people you are getting the explant?
I hope that all goes well for you and that you have a quick recovery - I cannot reassure you enough that all will be good, you will look the same but smaller and more natural - oh and they become lovely and soft again! Bonus!
No one knows I have implants except my hubby and my sister, they are the only 2 that know about the surgery. My kids were just small when they were put in so they have no idea. I just have to look on the bright side about the surgery. I'm expecting the worst so maybe it won't be so bad after all. The next 2 days can't go fast enough for me, then it will be over.
My kids are unaware also, they were very young when I had them put in.....it is over 2 weeks later now and they still haven't registered a difference! I have kept the implants in a sealed bag to talk to them about when they do notice (which I am sure they will when we go swimming!) my girls are all in their teens and I worry that they may in future want to go for a BA so I want to be armed enough to explain the risks, the reality and the difference! They WILL learn from my mistake! Or at least I will try to make them understand more.......
Good luck for tomorrow, I will send positive vibes for you, but you won't need them......you will be glad and relieved. X
so pleased for you. can i ask were yours under the muscle? I think i may need capsules out, worrried about pain but your story sounds not too bad.
Hi Mrs MC, are you booked in or just thinking about it? My implants were not under the muscle but on top, I definately think that my recovery has been faster than most due to this. There was no pain for me - but even if there was I would have gladly suffered it for the PIPs to be removed and to remove the fear of any further operations in the future - it is very liberating to think that I never have to go through that again in the name of maintenance! My surgeon advised me in the consultation that I would need teh capsulotomy so I was fully aware before the surgery - and I trusted him - he was brusque and to the point but I prefer that rather than someone who talks around a problem! Let me know how you get on and good luck!
What an awesome review :) It's so great to hear you are happy and positive. I had the PIPs too and although I was worried about the surgery and how they would look (which is fine), more than anything i am glad to be rid of those toxic bags!
your story is a huge support and like you this site has hugely helped me decide to explant! Would be great to see photos as its so reassuring to see how all these woman look and that we can be natural and happy xx
