Breast Implant Removal. Deflation then Removal Later - Oklahoma City

I am 29 years old. I had 375 CC saline implants over the muscle in 2010. I always had really nice boobs. When I was thin they could be as small as a 34 A and when I was heavier around a 34C. They were super perky. I think I only wore a bra about 1/2 the time. I could run with just a basic sport top and no additional bra. Basically I had great boobs. One year I lost a lot of weight (eating disorder issues) and went down to a 34A. I have really curvy butt, hips and thighs and I kept complaining, saying I needed implants to look proportional. It was never something I had actually seriously considered. But my mom agreed and made me an appointment to get implants during a one week trip home for my brother's wedding. She called me four days before the trip to tell me I would be getting them done the next week. My first thought was "Whoa slow down!" I kept wondering, do I really want to surgically change my body? The idea felt weird, but I did want bigger boobs. I thought if my body looked perfect, then I would be happier with myself (never mind my body did look perfect at the time, and my body image issues were all in my head). Long story short, I got a breast augmentation with about five days notice. I came out of surgery an extremely full 36D. At first it was kind of fun. My PS did a fantastic job, and they truly are beautiful. That has never been my issue with them. I would say I was in love with them for about the first 6 months. I am an avid yogi and I love running. I have always been really active. 

Now every activity is so difficult because I have to attempt the strap down the boobs. They are so heavy and so sweaty. I can't do all the things I love. I tried surfing with giant boobs… nope. Arm balances in yoga… nope. A light impromptu jog while walking the dogs wearing a regular bra… nope. I started becoming really frustrated that my boobs were dictating my lifestyle. Then I started eating normally and went back up to a normal weight. My boobs grew a little , but they still looked pretty good. Then I had to study for the bar exam and I am a major stress eater and put on a few pounds. They got a little bigger, but I still thought they looked pretty good. I think my moment of truth was when when I was trying on wedding dresses and all my friends kept commenting on how "huge" my boobs were. It was like a light switch. I was mortified. I wanted to look beautiful and elegant, and all anyone saw were these massive boobs. (My wedding photos are the saddest things … so much boob. I never showed them to anyone). 

I started to notice that I looked really heavy in pictures, and that I looked matronly in anything other than skin tight shirts and dresses that show my boobs and waist. I don't want to dress super sexy all the time. That is so not me, and so I spent the last five years trying to hide my boobs. I hate how I look in pictures. All I see is boobs. I just want to be myself again, and get these big things off my chest. I have had a very stressful time over the past few years, and gained some weight. I am about 10 lbs heavier than when I was implanted, and the boobs are starting to spill out of a 36DD. I'm a lawyer, and recently I started working in a job where I spend a lot of time in jails. I am so self conscious of these giant boobs. I want to blend in and be respected as a professional, not look like a stripper. I can't take it anymore. I went to see Dr. Brou in Oklahoma City and he told me he could deflate the implants for me, so we could see how my breasts would settle, and then schedule a removal later. We scheduled an appointment for 7/20/15. I'm so excited! I like that we are taking it in steps, and Dr. Brou says it will give my body a chance to bounce back slowly. All I can think is how I can't wait to do a yoga class implant free for the first time in five years! I have been thinking about this for years now, and I have been so encouraged by all the stories on this site. I wanted to tell my story and share some photos to help other women build up the courage to get rid of the girls if they want to. I will put up some before and afters next week when I get deflated.
