Before my augumentation surgery I was a 34B and after implanting with saline proxys in 2006 I was enhanced to a full 36C... Although, I did have many pros with my implants the cons definitely did a number on me.
Symptons ranged from chronic back pains, to joint pain, causing depression and being self conscious about appearance, and more. I recall the moment I had the surgery I wanted them out. My doctor at the time persuaded me in giving it some time... I gave the implants 6 years and I couldn't take it anymore.
Last year I decided that I was going to explant, a doctor friend of mine referred me to one of his colleagues and my explant date was set. I was beyond excited and have been thrilled with my decision ever since.
Great review?

My rating:
I rate my doctor worth it because he did a fantastic job not just in the procedure alone, but also in giving me all my options and most of all being accepting and understanding of my final decision.

but it is all not really very painful, specially in comparision with puting the implants!
I was 2 days mostly in my bed, and than I was able to move normally. I just didn't pull heavy things for 2 weeks.
Sorry to hear that the posterior part of the capsule was stuck to your ribs; what does the doctor say about that? I am almost 90% positive that mine are stuck to the ribs (on the left side) because I have rib pain when breathing.
Good luck, I hope you continue to recover nicely.
Thank you!
Congrats on your decision. Wow..I think u look so good without implants... Very natural.
If you don't mind sharing then what size implants did you have and what size are you now after the explant?
