“Regret getting breast implants”
Breast implants: NOT worth it
Cost: $5,100
Pain: Uncomfortable
Pain: Uncomfortable
Breast implants satisfaction: Poor
I do not recommend my Breast implants provider: Name not provided
Why: Problem is not the surgeon, it was my decision.
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"...

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 fell like getting implants was one of the worst thing I've ever done to myself. Though aesthetically I am totally ok, even after 11 yaers of implants, having 3 kids and breastfeeding for 5 years, with implants clearly. I feel having implants terribly unnatural. I feel very embarassed about my immature choice 11 years ago. With all the information available today I wouldn't have done such a mistake, at the time I was upset and going through a divorce with my first husband. And actually I most probably have an implant rupture. That's it.

You are not alone. A lot of women feel the same way. I had my first surgery 10 years ago, which I had to get redone two years after as a result of my breast looking deformed. I had a second surgery 8 years ago and I am still unhappy with the results. I get severely depressed about the way by breast look. Some days I just feel like ending all of this pain. I told my doctor that I wanted to look as natural as posible and not like a porn star. The second time he gave me implants that were filled with 320 cc over the muscle. This implants are to big and bulky I am 5'10, 130 lbs. Now I have back pain, My breast are hard, my breast skin sometimes gets very itchy, cloths don't fit the way they are supposed to and my breast now hang. Ah and to make things worse I have two big scars. I want to redo the implants or take them out completely, but can't afford to do it.

Can anyone tell me what the Dr has said about how scarred down the tissue over and around the implant is? Just wondering because mine are behind the muscle and how do they remove the implant without causing muscle damage?
