Had Implants for 15 Years , Had Enough Time to Get These Hard Rocks out ! - Scotland, GA

Had implants when I was in my early 30's , by breasts never grew , by then I realised I would be flat chested , seemed like a great idea at the time , just wanted breasts , not massive hard things under my skin , in my 30's I was very insecure and thought by having a bigger chest I would look more beautiful , 15 years on , wiser and with much life experience I'm of the view , we are not here to please other's , quite frankly I don't care now that I'm flat chested , small is beautiful , in fact all shapes and sizes are beautiful , beauty isn't your exterior but what lies under your skin , your heart,
I want people to love me for who I am not how I look , because that isn't true love , true love is unconditional and pure , I want a man to look into my soul and fall in love with my heart and soul , not talk to my breasts or be in lust with me. I have 2 grown up adults , only one of my daughter knows about my implants , as time went on I hated my implants more and more , they seemed so unnatural , hard rocks in my body , not cuddle anyone properly for over a decade , and I love cuddles , I hope by removing them I will also be a role model to other women and my young daughter who could easily be influenced by what I did , but she's great and says to me constantly , ' mum get those implants out , they are dangerous and also I can't cuddle you because all I feel is rocks' ( she's right ) and I'm glad at her only being 24 she has a sensible head on her and not influenced by the media and society that big boobs are cool. Anyway I'm so excited and nervous I'm getting mine out on the 4th of April , with pain in breasts , hardened , joint pain , constantly tired , depressed , I know it's time these came out !
I admire all you lovely ladies , and I find your posts so supportive and inspirational , I intend to post pics and fill you in with my journey [RS bleep]

Just out of interest are you buying the zip up m&s bra? I had a look at that..looks good x
March 30, 2014
You're welcome ! :) [RS bleep] I was initially going to buy 34A , the pre implant size , but then I thought I have put on about a stone in the last 15 years of my implants and I do feel I have some fatty tissue on my breasts just with age etc.. My pre op nurse was great , being also a women it was easy to talk to her , she has seen many explants and said I would be better with a 34b ( also I'm guessing some swelling initially after surgery etc ) the Macom compression bra has great reviews and has been recommended by many , it doesn't come by cup size , but back size , e,g 32,34, 36 etc , in that way it stretches to fit your cup size after surgery , it's also meant to be really good for preventing fluid build up, it is little expensive than other's but I don't mind paying more if it's going to help my breasts heal well after surgery .. I bought the front zipper one in the Macom one..
March 30, 2014
Yes , I was online for ages checking out reviews in many bras , for post surgery and the Macom one and the MS one came out tops ! There is another zip up in the MS , but it didn't have as good reviews as the one I mentioned to you in my earlier message too. Xxxx

Thanks for the info Hun....yeah I have researched online and gone into the stores n looked ...and agree the m&s looks good...only seen one ....I was originally 36/38 B/C before surgery I too have put on about a stone in 8 years and am currently in a 36/38 G although they feel looser at the moment :0( so think I may end up C/D maybe? Have bought some soft bra lets and a few sports bras but will defo get the m&s one for the first few days...will take a few with me and let the surgeon decide I guess....hard isn't it x
March 30, 2014
Yeah it's a little bit of a mystery for us all how we'll be after , I think like you say its a good idea , to get a few , size wise etc and then see , some ladies on here were saying buy a few sizes keep the labels then can always return the ones that don't fit. I think like you , I've also gained some weight and had them in for ages , so bound to alter the shape and size a little compared to how we were pre implant. Also the implants I think do tend to stretch the skin etc.. [RS bleep]

@Scotland, Firstly, you posted this on y (50th) birthday, 9 days after the removal surgery of my (over 20yr old, 'rock hard/capsule covered, painful, 'cuddle-interrupting,' fake, toxic) implants. I can tell you the pain of going through surgery and now being without the implants is LESS than when they were in! I was a small-chested (A cup) naturally and had 'C cup' implants, so there was a LOT of skin removal involved and I am still draining. (Which is fine, better to drain to avoid infection or hemotomas!) Are my breasts 'perfect' now? No. The right one is small bit 'indented,' but looking perky and nice, and improving. The left one is a different matter. At first, it was very 'collapsed' and there is very little tissue left due to 'atrophy' wherein the breast tissue either died or moved away from the implant. The first few days I was upset, but kept reminding myself that the body 'heals', and now almost two weeks later it is beginning to lift and the pocket does not look as empty. My surgeon (and MANY ladies on this site!) tell me to wait AT LEAST 6-12 weeks to see what will happen, and then another 6 months to 1 year. The GOOD NEWS is, this can always be fixed later via skin/tissue graft/breast lift as I will NEVER, EVER again have implants! My surgeon recommends, and I agree, NOT to have a lift at the time of implant removal as it is extra cutting and stitches and it is VERY dangerous, can cause more infection and possible loss of you nipple! Not worth it! So, don't worry... anything that happens CAN be fixed! Or, you'll get them out, tighten and heal, and live 'happily ever after' with your natural breasts. I love that you're setting this example for your daughter and other young women who are so focused on 'unnatural beauty' dictated by a society run by MEN! Good for you! And good luck, all the best! ;-)

Becky, thank you for your comment and belated happy birthday ! I think the main thing is getting these things out and leaving the rest to nature , the body itself has it's own very unique ways of healing , staying positive and believing that we will look great after is a must , I'm a firm believer of mind over matter , believe that you will heal and you will ! I just know it , patience and time is a great healer , the most important thing is that we have our bodies back ,our breasts the way nature intended , not foreign objects controlling them ! You are absolutely right ! It is a man's world , but we strong women should stand up to our liberation and take back the ownership of our bodies ! If we accept out bodies the way they are , confidence will exude from us , and who doesn't love a women who is comfortable with her skin ! My prayers are with you and all the lovely ladies , love the women comarade on here , so glad I found this forum ! If more and more women explant then more and more women will think twice before getting implants put in. I'm so excited , positive , emotional, feel like my life is going to change for the better this Friday when my implants will finally leave my body !! :)) Bye bye to hard toxic rocks and hello to soft beautiful natural breasts . The way us women were meant to be xxxx :))

4 days pre

The final Countdown has begun !

Su23
It's getting nearer , this time next week I will be 2 days post op !
The thought makes me think is this actually happening, it's ironic that I have lived with these toxic hard rocks for 15 years!
Being a single mum I would never have been able to afford to get them out , but the NHS are willing to take them out with no expense, cried cried , cried a river .. Miracles do happen...
We must never forget as strong independent women we own our bodies , not the media , not society , not men , on reflection what truly matters is that we are loved for 'who we are' not 'what we are' and we certainly aren't here to be perceived as sex symbols but rather beautiful women who love their bodies , their breasts , no matter how flat , how small , how big..
Learning to be comfortable in your own skin is far more sexy than trying to be something or someone you are not.
I have ordered a compression bra from Macom and a high impact sports bra , can't wait to have them on after implants are out !
I bought 34b , ( as pre op nurse advised ) even though I was 34a before implant , but 15 years on I think I have put on a little bit of fatty tissue around my breasts , as most of us possibly do with age and weight gain. So perhaps I won't be super flat lol and even if I am I'm happy to just simply say good bye to implants and hello to my soft natural breasts as nature intended ..:)
My prayers with you all ladies ! And much love and proper soft cuddles for all of you and the world ! Xxxxx love xxxxx. :))
