I am having my silicone implants removed after 24 years, I have had them replaced ones in this period. I have a bit of tuberous breast naturaly. It is going to be done by dr. Khouri. I am 45 years of age, I weigh 130 pounds and I am 5.7 tall. Here some before photos, I will post more photos so you can see what the results are, not only from my breast but also the stomach and hips. For all the woman who are considering this.

I considered this, because I'm removing my implants after only having them 3 months, but thought that after all the stress I've been through this kinda surgery might be too much. Good luck with everything and please keep us posed :)

I agree with tinaham. Only I could never afford the fat transfer! I've only had my implants for 5 weeks and removing next month. I hope I bounce back. Please keep us update on how everything goes! PS- you are in fantastic shape omg.

Wow, interesting, but you know, some say that body reasorbs fat. Also, if you have any loss / gain weight it would affect. But I think it's such of great breast augmention alternative, Good for you !!!

I have a consult with Dr. Khouri in 3 weeks so I am very interested in your results. Is he suggesting that you do a step down process with smaller implants before going completely implant free? I have read on a different forum that he sometimes suggests this. Are you required to wear the BRAVA bra after surgery?
July 23, 2013
Hi, I am going to be implant free, I have had them for 24 years and it's enough. It hurts somethings and my left breast is hard. They also are in the way with sports. I dont think I am going to need BRAVA bra, the empty space that is there after removal is going te be filled with fat. I wish you all the best, I keep you posted on my progress.

Hi Itannos. I did implant removal, and fat grafting to breast this past spring both procedures same time. It is AWESOME! I did not use brava. That is used mainly if you do not have room for the fat. Good luck on your journey!
