WORTH IT$4,400

I had my saline ( 500cc) under the muscle through the nipple crease back in 2003.


I was going through a divorce at the time. I was happy with my 34B bust tell I had kids. They were a little droopy after having kids. A lot of my friends had implants. I thought at the time this was what I wanted.


I wanted to be a full D and have cleavage. I was happy for a few years, but the past 5 to 6 years I realize I'm way to big for my body frame.
I hate them!! Wish I had never got them. If I had gone smaller maybe I would just keep them, but I saw this site in May 2012. I have seen so many great out comes. I decided I wanted to implant right then and there!
All you ladies have been so encouraging!
I'm only 700.00 dollars away and I'm looking at the end of April.
My PS from my implant surgery is doing it as the guy I saw before him was not supportive. I can't wait!!!

I forgot to mention I am going to be 46 in April. If you can see from pictures I have a very small shoulders. I wrote this review quite quickly on my iPhone.
I also have a curbed rib cage. They tend to go to the side more. I wear a 32 DDD bra now. I have gained a little wait around the middle however and go up and down in my weight as my working out is inconsistent.
Hopefully that will change once I get rid of bags
They get in the way I feel.

Thanks for sharing your story and I agree that this site is a wonderful forum for information and support from women who know exactly what you are going through. I will be having explant on April 12th after almost 30 years of silicone implants. Can't wait to be on the other side. Please keep posting.

Big boobs do get in the way! You are going to love not having your arms hit the sides of your boobs all the time. It drove me crazy! Good luck with your planning, hope you get scheduled soon!

I think you'll feel so much relief after the implants are out. For me, it was shocking to see them the next day after explant but it has been amazing watching them change everyday. I really hope you have a great result! Good luck to you! Big hugs to you!

Hi ladies
My check should be here in a few days and I can pay on Monday for the rest of what I owe. I wanted to share with you that I am a little nervous with telling my roomate. She has implants that don't look like implants. She looks prportional. She had said I probable would be ok with my breasts if I lost wieght. Seriously? Have you seen my front picture of my brests. How could any one be happy with that fat or skinny!
She never liked my PS. She thought he went to big for my frame and blames him. She won't be happy that I'm going back. Honestly I feel I asked for this size. Truth was he is very well known and is a great surgeon and most importantly understandable. Also I have a boyfriend that is new and he says he's understandable. Well, we will see. Oddly I don't care. Lol
I did run into my x and told him. He thinks I'm crazy!!! Yes!!! I am a rebel and I like it!!!! Anyway I just needed to get that off my chest!
Lol

Good for you...sounds like you are standing firm in your decision despite what others may think. You will feel better once you tell your roommate. It can be difficult to tell someone something when you know what their reaction will be. You might be surprised....she may be supportive...it will be good to get that over with. I struggled to tell my now grown children since I wasn't even sure if they knew I had them (one did, one didn't) they were so little when I got them. I was more nervous about that then anything else. It was a huge relief to get that off my chest. The truth always sets us free...the sooner the better. You know you have support here 24/7 if you need us, just post.

Everyone goes through the "second thought" phase right before surgery. I had implants for over 20 years and I worried about what I would look like afterwards. I knew they had to come out eventually and like you hated being too big (36D), so I was determined. I saw one friend a few days before surgery who thought I was crazy and that I would sag and that made me worry .....but I powered through it and am now all natural! I am two weeks post and amazed at how wonderful I look. NO REGRETS!

Thank you ! Thanks for sharing. Yes, I have got some" you are crazy" and I've gotton some that are supportive. It's good to hear from you! I so appreciate it! I have been unhappy for to long with these things. I'm looking forward to wearing fitted shirts and feeling good in them. It's true I worry a little about what they will look like, but I keep looking at the women here who's breasts look quite good considering. It gives me hope. My Doc did say my skin looks good and he believes the skin will shrink up well. I guess it's better that I got them after having kids then before? Have a blessed day!

Oh, just to add....I am 46 too....my skin is looking and responding great after just two weeks. I looked at all the photos on this site comparing my size with what I thought I was pre-surgery (my implants were done BEFORE two pregnancy's)....I was prepared for that flat tire look initially (gets better quick) ...but the body is amazing and thank goodness forgiving. I am healing wonderfully. Being educated and prepared will make everything easier to deal with....I read about some people being depressed after surgery. I'm divorced with a loving boyfriend who thinks the real me is so much better but more importantly I love my natural self. I am elated that I did this ...one of my favorite ahhhhaaa moments was when I felt my breasts bounce a little when I walked . I hadn't felt that in soooo long(so cool)...and how soft the breast tissue feels. All the best to you!
