1st implants were put in 1982, 2nd set 1983. Have gone through cc and hardness both times. Left breast is now higher on the chest than right because of the capsules. Honestly, I went to the ps and was just going to have them changed out with the new cohesive gel, and then I found this site and everything I was feeling inside but was afraid to say, you guys were saying and I knew then what I was going to do. Mind you this is a big decision for me to make because I has asymmetrical breast. My implant are a 190 and a 250. I also am tired on feeling like I have 2 rocks on my chest all the time. I went back to my ps last week & told him what I wanted to do & he was surprised. He said if you didn't like your small breast before you won't like them now. I then told him that I didn't have the implants puts in because my breast were small, I had it done for symmetry. He has a very good bed side manner and really listened to what i had to say. I thought I would change my mind and just have new implants put in, but I didn't. I am really looking forward to having them out, even if they are different sizes. My husband told be he was with me because he loved my and not for my breasts. I'm sure the nerves will set in as the day gets closer, only 5 days to go. I will take before and after photos and upload them later.

Good luck with your surgery!

I had my implants done in 1987. They are about 200cc also. I am going to a ps tomorrow about having them removed. I don't think it matters how I felt about my breasts 25 years ago. I'm not the same person and I don't think I'll care if they sag or wrinkle!

Again, best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Hi leona123 . . How did the appointment with you ps go. Have you made a decision on what you are going to do? It's a big decision to make after make after having them for all those years. I'm sure you will make the decision that's right for you.

Hi BeagleBaby. The appointment went well, although I've thought of some things to ask that I didn't think of while I was there.

I liked the ps. He didn't make me feel defensive about wanting them out as I imagined he could be. I told him afterr 25 years I was just over it and he said he understood.

He said I could take them out, probably sag, but then so does everybody at some point. He told me I had enough breast tissue left to do a lift with nice results, but I really don't want to have that much surgery. I'd rather use the money to take a nice vacation with my husband.

Got me thinking about all the loved ones in my life and not one of them cares about the appearance of my breasts. My husband just wants me to be happy and everyone else, well quite frankly, don't even want to think about :)

Hi leona123, everyone here seems to think the same way. We aren't the same people we were all those years ago. Our views on everything seem to change as we grow older. If we only had the wisdom 25 or 30 years ago, when we went to get implants, maybe we wouldn't have done it. Who knows. Let me know how you make out at the ps.

Feeling a little anxious today. Had a hard time getting to sleep last night. Kept thinking about the upcoming surgery. 3 days to go. I keep thinking the worst abouth the outcome. Cleaned the house last night so everything will be clean, so thats one less thing to worry about. Not sure I really want to see them once the implants are out. Maybe I'll wait a few days.

Hi beaglebaby, I was SO nervous before the surgery - I know the feeling. I didnt want to see them either after, but actually they were not anywhere near as bad as I thought they would be and they have just got better and better since - they really do change so much from when you first have them out. So if you are disappointed, just give it a bit of time. Good luck x
