WORTH IT$4,800
I had my saline implants in over the muscle in December of 1998. I was barely an A cup so my 400 cc's brought me up to a full D. I was 25 so I thought that was great. I also modeled so I felt more confident with the D's. I'm now 38. I dont do much modeling. More acting and stunt work now. If I am needed to stunt double a girl with a small chest I usually lose that job. Over the last three or so years my right breast has been hurting. I can't comfortably sleep on my right side because the pain is a bit much. When I hug someone I bend weird so they won't think that I kneed them in the chest! Yes, my boobs feel like my knees! They look great until I lay flat then they look like two upside down bowls on my chest. I have been very sick and extremely tired lately and in the last week since I decided to have my implants removed, I learned about autoimmune diseases. I have several of the problems listed. Red eyes, head aches, extreme fatigue, dry skin. Maybe I'm making myself paranoid. Who knows? Oh, yeah, lately my hips hurt and pop and crack like crazy. I had to get a mammogram last year and the implants are so hard that they couldn't grab anything to smash. Breast cancer really runs in my family. At the chiropractor they had to order a special pad for me to lie on my belly. It has two circles cut out! I dig holes at the beach so I can tan my back. I'm sooooo tired of it but I am terrified of surgery. I have my consultation this Thursday (April 5). I will let you all know what he says. If you have implants over the muscle try the flash light trick in a dark room, they glow! Great at parties! Haha!

haha @ the flash light trick! I too have/had saline implants for about 15 years. I have had all my consultations and fee quotes to get them out but now it's just a matter of saving up the money to do it. My doctor did a really cool thing and DRAINED them in his office with a needle. He numbed up a little spot and then inserted what appeared to a freakin' turkey baster and just pulled the saline out. It didn't hurt one drop. The cost was $150 for it. The good thing is that I've been able to get a general idea of what I will look like after and I immediately lost the need for large shirts. I believe mine are over the muscle because I can feel the shells really well and they also dent in and look weird as heck. I've been assured they won't look like that when the shells are removed. At any rate, it was a slight preview of what's to come!
Keep us posted on how things go!

That's crazy! I am so phobic of needles. If I saw the turkey baster, I would have ran! Haha! I'm rescheduled to the 25 of May. I can't go through with it if I'm awake. I don't care how many Valium he promised me! So I will make the full payment of close to $4,750.00 on Tuesday when I have my blood test and find out what time the surgery will be. I hope that it's super early in the morning so I can just wake up and get it over with. Let me know how you are doing!

Ok, had my consultation today. Not sure about the Dr. He kept me waiting in a tiny room for an hour and twenty minutes, yay for IPads! I'm scheduled for removal on thursday May 17! I'm such a whimp. I'm going to only be on Valium. I hope they give me five of those suckers. It'd be best for everyone in the building! ha! I told him that I think that they are making me sick and he didn't seem concerned. He says that usually only happens with silicone implants but not saline. I hope to prove him wrong when I feel normal again. I think that I'll take a week off of work. My real job is super easy, but I randomly do stunt work for movies. I hope that I don't have to turn down an amazing job. I'll cry! :-)
Tomorrow I will return the three fabulous size 34 D bras that I just received in the mail from Victoria's secret! I'll take the refund because the Dr said I'll probably be an A/ B in a few weeks. Who knows?!
I will update again!

I'm in the waiting room for my consultation right now. I'm having second thoughts. I know that I'll do it, but I'm freaking out! I'll update later!

I will keep you in my prayers that your surgery will go well and that your spirit will be calm! I am scheduled for 2 May with full anesthesia! I am nervous as well since I was a low B prior to but after children I am now a DDD! Not sure what the heck they are going to look like but at least they will be OUT!!! Take care!
April 23, 2012
Thanks! I think I would be a lot calmer if I was going to get completely knocked out. You'll have to let me know how it goes on May 2nd! I keep thinking that this time next month, it will all be over with and I can hopefully start feeling better! I can't imagine being a DDD! Wow! I'm just a D and they are in my way! I know a 23 year old who is an A and was telling me on Saturday night that she wants to get implants. I wasn't going to tell too many people about the explant for my own entertainment. I plan to wear a tank top and see if anyone notices! But I told her all about my problems and told her to squeeze my rock boob! She freaked out because they are sooo firm. I don't think she wants them anymore! Haha!
Good luck with everything! Keep in touch!

How are you feeling? I hope that everything went great. I rescheduled for May 25 so I will have full anesthesia now! Bad thing is, I have to wait an extra 8 days. More time to grow an ulcer! Haha!
April 23, 2012
lol! You just saved another woman from changing who she is! As for the explant - I can almost imagine - no one will notice the difference because afterall people see who you are by what you are feeling inside.....If you feel good they will perceive/see the goodness! I will definitely keep you posted! I want to put pictures up but I think I will wait to post all of them after the explant! ;))))) Take care of yourself!

I sure hope that I talked her out of getting them. It's so funny that I've told several friends who have implants and they have the same reaction "GASP!" as if I'm shaving my head or cutting off a limb. I'm also amazed that most of them don't have any problems with their implants. Mine are over the muscle and everyone who has them under the muscle say that their implants are still soft. So, if in a year, I'm still sickly feeling (main reason for removing them) and if they don't snap back I'll consider having them under the muscle. I doubt that I will though. I'm excited to see if my health improves!

I had under muscle for 28 years and both sets went hard...I'm having mine out next week.
May 24, 2013
You'll probably be so much more comfortable after they are removed. Mine were so hard and scar tissue started pressing against a nerve on my right side causing terrible pain when I tried to sleep on that side. I knew then that if wasn't going to get better. You're making s great choice. For me, it hurt having them removed. So, take a week off if you can. I think that I took two weeks off. Good luck! :-)

I hope so too! These things are so overrated! Breast implants are hit or miss, even if they were done by the same doctor in the same manner! I have mine under the muscle and one started to harden this year! I am so over these things, some days wonder what the heck I was thinking! I am going to love my natural state...its just has to be that way! Good, bad, cute, or ugly...they are mine!

So, tomorrow is the day. My surgery is at 1:30 but I have to arrive at noon to get my I.V. In and have a heart attack! I don't think that I'm going to sleep tonight. I told the nurse on the phone yesterday that I need a relaxer as soon as I get there. She said that it won't be a problem. It's going to be so strange going from a D for 13 years back to probably nothing! I am going to post pictures soon!
OMG, boobs as a party trick. That is extremely funny! I truly hope you don't have any autoimmune diseases and that the weird symptoms go away once your implants are out.
Don't be surprised if surgeons try to talk you into replacing your implants. You'll have to stand your ground if you really don't want implants anymore.
I love your story. Thank you for starting it. Please let us know how your consultation goes!
