It's Not What I Expected - North Carolina, NC

ORIGINAL POST

I decided to get my breast implants about six...

$5,000

I decided to get my breast implants about six years ago. I've hated them from the beginning they are way to big and the heaviness of them drives me crazy. I'm 5'and my weight is 125 my breast sz is 32 DD way to big for my frame I love to work out and and active life style. It's hard to keep this up. I cannot just wear one sports bra I have to wear two and they still bounce. They bounce so hard it hurts. I want them out. I was wondering about getting a breast lift or smaller implants. Is it hard to hVe them removed. Does anyone know what I can do? I need help...I can't even wear a bikini top without looking like I'm about to bust out of the top. One more thing my left breast feels like its going to the side when I lay flat. If I knew this before I got them I would have never done this.

Hi Sommerain, I hope you're reading all the great reviews by other women. I'm seeing a plastic surgeon here in Dallas on April 12th and definitely plan to get my implants out.
How long have you had your implants and what did the doctor say about removing them? I've heard so many different things I'm afraid. Please keep me updated. Good luck!
I've had implants since 1987 and disliked them from the beginning. I finally decided I wanted them removed in 1997 but the PS convinced me to have them replaced. So, I did at least go smaller--from a 34C/D to a 34B. When he removed the old ones, one had ruptured but I didn't know until I woke up from surgery. Now I'm having autoimmune symptoms so I will get them out to be healthy, happy and small again. I'll let you know what the PS says next week--he's an expert at explanation. You can see him in the trailer for this documentary: www.absolutelysafe.com. He's Dr. Edward Melmed

Hoping you're finding support in the Implant Removal or Breast Implant Revision communities. It really sounds like you're uncomfortable. Perhaps consult with a few doctors to get opinions on what might work best for you. Take care and let us know how you proceed!

Have u thought about having an internal bra done? So they don't move as much?
Do u know how much it is and where I can get one.
I paid $7000 I had one done about 6 months ago before my revision. The recovery is tough but it's so worth. My Ps used 2 layers of stitches inside my breast to hold the implant in place. My implants still move around and bounce like natural breast; they just don't fall to the sides and they don't droop down they stay sitting up:
I had in done in a hospital!
I was wondering what your bra size was before the surgery and how many ccs you went with. I'm also pretty active and worried about getting implants hat are too big. I remember trying to run with milk boobs after my third child and that was not fun.
Also it's been a couple years since your review. Has it gotten any better?
