WORTH IT$2,000

Im going in on the 27th to have my implants deflated. I got them 12 years ago. I was pressured by my surgeon and husband to get the implants. I really just wanted a lift. After some weight gain they are now 32DDD. I never wanted to be more than a small D. I cant remember how many CC I had or if they were textured. I do remember that they are saline and MCGhan. I'm so excited to have my squishy boobs back. I think these make me look bigger than I am. Not to mention the fact that I cant find a bra to fit and when I do they are so expensive. I'm 5'2 and I feel like they are overwhelming. My surgeon has agreed to deflate them in his office and I can live with them for a few weeks to see how they will look. I had a lift with my augmentation so I'm not sure if I will need another. I would love to hear from women who had their implants deflated in the office and what their experience was.

This is my original plastic surgeon. I did a lot of research when I picked him 12 years ago. He has a great reputation and a lot of experience as a doctor.

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! Other ladies on the site have definitely had their saline implants deflated in office. Here's some more information on that.

I hope you'll keep us posted and let us know how it all goes!

Im going in this afternoon to be deflated, hopefully. He said he would do it in an email and Im hoping to book surgery for the 25th of January. This way I have time to see what they look like and what I want to do. I am so hoping to be deflated today. I dont know what I will do if he tells me I have to wait. I've made the nurses clear that I expect it to happen today. They are so big and throb and my chest is red and hurts. I have a sharp pain between my breasts and a dull ache on the right side of the right one. I called Discover card today and have a 0 percent interest rate until 2014 and get cash back rewards. I am ready. Im going alone too. I could have my friend or my boyfriend or my kids go but they all had so much drama that i feel I need to do this for me. Ok, time to get ready. There is a snow storm going on and they moved up my appt. I will be driving slow and probably freakin out. Im bringing a sports bra just in case it hurts where the needle goes in. Oh boy.

Just had my boobs deflated. It was easy, pain free, liberating. He put a needle in the side of my breast and used a suction machine to suck out the saline. I love my squishy boobs. I wont need a lift. He scheduled surgery for the 25th of January in the afternoon. I will not have the capsul removed, just the implants out under a local.. I can drive home. Only a couple of days of downtime. Im so happy. I can't feel the empty implants at all.
