I have severe pain/discomfort in my right breast after breast implant surgery. I have sever muscle tension in my RT breast and it runs all through my right shoulder and into my neck. I was told it may be nerve damage. I want to have the implants removed in hopes that it will relieve the pain. I've been living with this pain for 5 years and I just can't bare it anymore but I don't know that removal will solve it. Can you describe what your pain was like? Thank you!

if it is nerve damage then removing them might or might not relieve the problem. However, if the nerve is compressing the nerve then removing the implant can relieve the problem. Just like if you have your sciatic nerve compressed and you release it. My pain was very similar but the pain slowly went away. If you decide to take them just keep in mind that the pain might still be there and the nerve will take time to heal as well. there will not be an immediate relief.

I agree!!!! I heard that when implants inserted there they can move( because u sit or move) also I heard very painfull to sit..... P.s I am thin but I have butt, not huge but round one, people always ask how it's possible to be thin with butt? I don't know I guess from my mother, I would think twice , u really need Brazilian butt????

Sounds like my ps , you have healed quite nicely your photos look great, I'm so scared I'm end up with scars on my ribs and never be able to wear two piece swim suits again but I'm taking my chances anyway . Yea and they got panties with butt pads now and they look great no need for butt implant either .

boobies128October 13, 2012
so I just wanted to let you guys know that for what it is worth the boob job was worth it but it was a slightly too big for me. My breast looks the same except now I have a scar. I don't know if I plan on getting implants in after i have children or a few years down the line. I didn't exchange them for smaller ones because I wasn't sure if I really wanted them in 10 years to go back under the knife to change them. I just figured that I will know when i'm 35 and dont really care where my money is spent. Anyway, my next thing is a brazilian butt lift. hopefully having a big ass wont be a problem.

Yes, I have but I went under general instead because I didn't want to feel the possible chance of discomfort. I will post a picture some time this week.

Well I wish you luck and let your other members know how it went. I'm now thinking about getting a Brazilian butt lift. By the way I posted up a new picture 1 year after implant removal. I don't know if it got approved yet.

I am 27 y/o had 325cc b/l silicone mentor gel placed in. There are pictures of me with them in my other posting. I removed them because I had constant right chest pain and increases with activity. Now I am pain free. I am happy they are out after making a careful decision. I just have to say money well spent for me. I know how it feels now to have big boobs and how It feels to appreciate my smaller boobs.

I live in the NYC area and when you say you spent $1000.00 does that include all the cost i.e., anesthesia, etc.? My implant is ruptured on the left side and need to have removed but don't have the money for it. It's funny how I saved so much to have the implants put in, and now I can't afford to have them taken out! Sad. I'd never do implants again, I just want them out. Thanks!

I am having my implants removed this Thursday. 10 years, I am ready. Thank you for your candidness.

Niki -1000.00 for anesthesia and operating room time. I got them placed in by the same physician. I'm sorry to hear that you had a rupture it might be a little more complicated for just taking it put since it's not intact. Do you have the memory gel? I'm from NYC also I saw dr. Rosenblatt, William he was charging 3-4k. A few dr. I spoke to charged around the same range. You can try to check out laser Cosmetica. Good luck

Missy - how are you feeling?
