WORTH IT$500

Hi! I'm new to the board! I had implants put in June 9th 2012....that's right only 2.5 months and I never liked the size from the beginning. I have 300 cc's under the muscle (silicone). I told the doc I wanted to be a B cup and I'm almost a 32D (depending on the bra). I'm 5'2 100lbs a size 0 in clothing. So these implants are extremely big for me.

Aside from me not liking the size, I've been having a lot of trouble breathing AFTER this surgery was performed. I've had 2 EKG's done and a stress test. All came out negative and my surgeon insists this has nothing to do with the implants. Well the thing is that I'm 34 years old and very acvtive. I never had any breathing issues before UNTIL I had these implants put in place. Therefore I feel they are contributing to my inability to inhale properly. It feels like my air just can't get through. As if my passages are swollen or someone is sitting on me preventing me from breathing. So they're coming out. I'm terrified as I just found out today I have to be put completely under again. I thought it would be done under local but I guess not.

I am thankful my surgeon is even doing this only at the cost of anesthesia. It's very nice of him to do this. I'm over the amount of money I spent to get them in. That money is gone forever and I'll just have to work super hard to get it back. I just want to put all this behind me and be happy and BREATHE again.

I'm one day post op. There was much less anestesia used this time. Last time (for the augmentation) I was out for like 2 days post op. This time I was up and walked out of the doctor's office. Once I got home I started to feel horrible pain around the stitches. I had to start taking my meds, which I hardly used last time. I've gotten up a few times to avoid blood clots. My chest feels strange. It hurts a little and deep breathes cause discomfort. However I was told they're very important to avoid sickness. My breasts are wrapped up in a huge bandage, so I have no idea what they look like. However I was instantly happy to know they were out and I was small again. Taking the medication as prescribed I feel sleepy. I'm not allowed to move my arms for 2 weeks, so I'm pretty much just laying in bed. The doctor did not have to put the drain for fluid. I guess since I only had them for 2.5 months I didn't need it.

Ok guys. I have uploaded pics of before augmentation, augmentation (for 2.5months) and one photo of post but I'm still wrapped up like a mummy. Remember I'm a tiny girl at 5'1/98lbs

I'm scared to unwrap. I know its silly. Do you still feel discomfort if you take deep breaths? My breathing has been an ongoing issue since I put these things in :*(
August 25, 2012
No, I never had any issues like that. Maybe you just need more time to heal. I felt relieved when I unwrapped, being so flat through the wrap was scaring me. I was happy to see I had some breast tissue left, not a lot, but something. Probably an A, but a padded bra should make a nice B...I hope.

Well done for gettin them out so quickly. It is amazing the amount of effects they can have on our health. Im sure you will look great now and be the same as before surgery. x
