My 2nd day after the surgery
Well I have rest but I’m so sore in between my breast. Any ideas?! I know I need to rest some more. I’m still positive no matter what! I know I did the right thing!! :0)
1st day after the surgery
I was feeling so good this morning, but late today I noticed how sore my chest really has gone and since I wasn't put any drains I'm a bit worry... I'm cautiously happy! But my chest it's so tender right now that I don't even want to touch it. But soon I'll put some post surgery pictures ?

If having the implants in the first place was an awful decision, having them out was the best decision ever!! Yesterday I had my surgery a dream come true!!
I had 304cc silicone implants since thanksgiving 2009. After the initial surgery the right breast never really drop properly (you can see it in the picture) so I had a revision on my right breast six months later. The capsule was never removed and the same implant was used. The implant did drop after the revision but soon I had a thicker capsule level 4 and a bigger incision on my nipple which indent every time I’ll flexed my chest. In other words every time I’ll flex or contract my chest the scar will pulled my nipple… very depressing and not pretty to look at. I never did enjoy my implants, yes my body did looked more in proportion but at what price… Really?!?!
I always wanted to have a “little bit more”, I thought having a decent size breast was the most feminine attribute ever. I used to think everybody had bigger boobies than me, but all and all I was happy.
By the time I was 27 the crazy idea of having implants came to me and so I went to see a ps. Well the 1st meeting didn’t go as well since I wanted a 250cc - 275cc for a 5’6”. I honestly wanted just a bit more… well she wasn’t happy about the size I was picking. When I went the 2nd time to check on the sizes in the waiting area I started talking to this girl. I asked her “so telling what did you have done? Are you happy?” Well to my surprise this poor soul wasn’t happy at all, she was so full of regrets, with a saline ruptured and a capsule no doctor wanted to take her so she had no option but to go back to her original ps. What shocked me was her words of advice, she told me "there isn’t nothing more attractive than a small breast, I wish I was you. I’m so scare to take them off because I don’t know how am I going to look”. Well those words were like a wakeup call. After she enter to see the doctor, I left the office, got in my car, ripped the estimate and cried. Like the message I wanted to hear, she told me everything I needed to know.
Oh… I wish my story will end there. But after two pregnancies and 3 kids later I thought I knew better. Again my only concern about having implants was the size, what else could happen?! And so at age 35 I totally forgot that encounter I had with that girl years ago. I went for it with a 304cc mentor silicone implants under the muscle. Today I found out they really were totally under the muscle. Which in a way save my breast.
It’s funny looking back, when I had my original breast I will think about having bigger boobs here and there but I was happy; but after I had the implants and saw the discomfort, the scars, how one was higher than the other thanks to the revision and the capsule made my right nipple look bigger, I was so full of regrets!, I would think about them if not every day… every other day I was miserable!. I also notice that they were more women with small breast than the women with bigger breast… even though getting implants is an epidemic! Everybody had them. But very few are happy with them.
Not too long ago I stared to have health problems as well like pain in my joins, for a while pain on the bottom of my feet… and of course the discomfort of my breast that will come and go.
Wanted to have my breast implants removed was something I knew it was going to happen. Now 40th this is by far the best thing I have done this year!. With two girls ages 7 ½ and 88% chance they’ll have small breast lol I wanted to set a good example for them.
