Regret Getting Breast Implants

ORIGINAL POST

I feel it's the biggest mistake of my life. I hate my new look and miss my natural body. The discomfort is everpresent and my back hurts. What a stupid thing to do. I was just fine the way I was.

Life has enough challenges without adding more. Now I have unatural "breasts" and scars, discomfort, and no clothes to wear. I am about a month post op. I wish these things were out of my body.

Isnt it to soon, to say if you like or don't like them... you just had them done they probably don't look "normal" yet, I have read that it takes at least 3 months for the breast to "drop"...

I had mine done almost 2 years ago, after having 4 children and feeling deflated. At times, I miss my old look too, but love the way my clothes look now. I don't show them off, just glad to fill out a top. If I had to do it again though, I probably wouldn't.

Please start saving your money --it usually runs about $12,000 --but if they continue to give you problems, maybe they will not have that much of a capsule formed around them yet and it might be less.

I have had Silicone implants they ruptured at about 4 years leaving 150 cc of silicone in my body. Had saline for not quite 5 year leakage & life threating infection caused me to have them removed. Yes I loved looking nice in my clothes...but it was NOT worth my health. I am totally disabled now. I am flat breasted. I have NO breast. To many complications and they were done by the best P.S. money could buy!! PLEASE BEWARE.

They will "settle" and start to look more normal. It actually takes up to a year for them to end where they will be and feel the way they will feel. One month post-op isn't long enough. It sounds like you should have done some more research/soul searching before you did this. If you still aren't happy with your results in 3-6 months, have them removed.

I know how you feel...start saving your money....get them removed....If you don't like them now...you will never be happy with them.... I was a 34C went to a 34DD...and I had the hardest time finding a bra that fit normal..and clothes were so hard to find.....I finally, after 3 years just had them removed 4 days ago...and to tell you the truth...carrying implants in you is like carrying a kid in you...once you have them removed it is like you just delivered a big baby....the relief and no back pain....ect...you will be happy....I'm rootin for your girl!

I had them removed in Denver, Colorado....my surgeon was great about the whole thing....he did the implants and then he removed them....he was awesome...totally understood what I was going thru..all he wanted was for me to be happy...he worked with me on cost.... Since he did the implants he only charged me $2,500.00!

Hello...I have been looking for someone that had the same experience as me. I was a 34C and got implants because I wanted more volume. I ended up being a 34DD. I did not want to be that size. I had a lift done hoping that it would solve the problem. It did not. I have still a 34DD. I am thinking about having them removed and am affraid I will end up saggy. Please let me know your experience of removal.

Yeah I was a 34DD...husband loved them, but I hated them...the backache was unbearable..and clothes don't fit...ughhh....finally I decided to remove them....went to my Dr. and told him about the back pain...and the numbness on my right breast and he agreed we should remove them....he worked with me on price because of my pain....but I had them removed....and had a lift done with a reduction back to a 36C...(my regular size before implants)...my lift is awesome...and it was just like I had delivered a 10 lb baby after...the backache was gone and just a relief of not having to carry around extra weight...I am 1,000 % happy with my decision...(husband isn't, but I could care less because because it was my back hurting, not his)...my Dr. is AWESOME in the operating room......Good luck....get them removed and lifted you will be happy in the long run....yay...clothes fit normal now!!!!!!!!!!

How do you feel about them now? And did you get a lift too? If you did not get a lift are you ok with the appearance. I am planning to remove mine, but wanted to find out if it's really necessary to get a lift with it. I don't want to add scars but afraid I won't like the results of what 25 yrs has done to my breasts. I feel I need to decide when I make the appt. I've been searching the web but not alot of pictures of just the removals. Most had a breast lift when they did it.

Sorry I didn't read on. You did have the lift as well. I don't know what to do. I guess I could remove them and then go back later if I don't like it. Just a little more cost.
