  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Hello ladies! I have been reading all of your...

Hello ladies! I have been reading all of your reviews for the past few months now. Thank you all so much for sharing your stories and explant journeys, they are extremely helpful! I am 25 years of age and I have two children, both of which I breast fed for around 6 months. I had 600cc saline implants placed under the muscle summer of 2013. It has been just over a year now and I can no longer stand these implants. I am around 5'4" and weighed 118 when I got them, I was a big b before surgery and only had the implants to help fill out the upper breast area since it was less voluptuous due to pregnancy. I did not want to be bigger in size (I wasnt brave enough to get a lift, still not!) but my surgeon said I would need a larger implant to achieve fullness in the upper breast area. I was told by my surgeon that I would probably be a large D, possibly a DD. Unfortunately my breasts ended up being way bigger than that. They were a 32 E after surgery and since I have gained about 15 lbs trying to look more proportionate they are probably around a EE now. I am very modest and their size is so embarrassing for me. I always went to the pool and swam with my kids, this summer I only went twice and did not take off my bathing suit cover because I feel innapropriate. I also used to jog 5 days a week about 3 miles each time and now... I hardly exercise at all because they are so heavy that even heavy duty sports bras don't help much with bounce. I am not overly worried about how they will look after they are removed because life will be so much better without these big bags getting in my way. Hugs will be so much sweeter once the implants are gone. My shoulders/neck pain will be gone! And I will actually be able to buy stylish tops again! Good luck to you all on your journeys! Thanks for reading. My surgery will be on Nov. 20th, I am so excited you guys! Ps. Wasn't brave enough to post pics without blockage, I hope they are still helpful!

Not long to go!

I Forgot to mention that my implants are high profile and I will be having them removed with local anesthesia. I realized this morning that in six days I will be having them removed, only six days left! Ahh! I went and bought a zip front champion sports bra yesterday, hopefully it will be the correct size and constrictive enough after surgery. I'll update the morning of surgery and the day after to let you guys know how I'm feeling. As of right now I get a little nervous when I think about the surgery but I'm more excited than anything. How can 6 days seem so soon, yet, so far away?

Surgery in the morning!! goodbye implants

I was going to wait and update in the morning but I'm not sure if I will have time. I was taking a longer than usual, relaxing shower today (since I'm not sure how long it will be before I can shower again) and it suddenly occured to me that today is the last day I will have with these implants in my body. I'm happy they're going to be gone! I will be driving myself home from surgery as I do not take pain medications. I'm going to be listening to relaxing music on the way to the Dr.s office and keep going over all the reasons why I am wanting them out, if my boobs look like flap jacks afterwards... it'll be just fine by me, they can be all natural... just as they should be. (Too bad I didn't realize this before, but you live and you learn, right? :) ) The thing I'm looking forward to most is being able to wear tops that actually fit. I don't like clothes shopping as it is, so not being able to just walk in and quickly pick something and have it fit is just so frustrating. Oh and i just can't wait to sleep on my tummy. I didn't realize how many other women felt the same until i read other reviews on here. Tummy sleeping is the best! I felt a little nervous earlier when I realized I only had one day left, but that has subsided. Now I am just thinking how thankful I am that I am able to have them removed, I am grateful to my husband for being so supportive and understanding. He's lovely. And i am so glad I found this site and all of you brave ladies sharing your stories. I am looking forward to tomorrow morning, hugging my children without the implants being in the way, exercising again in a few weeks to lose the 15-20 lb I put on trying to look more proportionate, and just loving and accepting my body as it is. I'll update tomorrow after surgery and let you all know how it went! Here's a side shot photo, I would never wear that top in public right now because of how big they look, instead I've just been wearing t- shirts that make me look way heavier than I am.

Dr. Chong is very caring and sweet. I felt comfortable as soon as I walked into the office. She took her time and explained everything to me in depth, I never felt rushed, and her staff are all very friendly!
