WORTH IT$10,000
I have over the muscle saline implants x 20 yrs and am having them removed Monday. I'm nervous but thanks to this site & all of the wonderful women willing to share their stories, I don't feel alone. My PS is also doing a capsulectomy then in 6 weeks I will go back for a fat transfer procedure. The reason I had them placed initially was because of asymmetric breasts so the fat transfer will hopefully resolve that issue!

The implants came out on Monday. Capsulectomy done on both sides with the left side being pretty severe. I have drains in which hopefully will come out in a couple of days.

Wishing you happy healing and a speedy recovery!

Thank you! I'm doing really well & haven't had even a moment of regret regarding the removal.

awesome! it is so great to feel natural again! how long do you have to wait for the fat transfer? is there a chance you'll decide not to go through with it?
March 16, 2013
I have to wait a minimum of 6 weeks. If I'm symmetrical & "fluff up" I won't go through with the fat transfer. It's difficult to tell right now how my breasts will look because I'm wearing both a compression bra & ace wrap. I'll have a better idea in a couple of weeks I think.

Hello ! Our pictures are so similiar ,although mine are under the muscle and I have a little more assymetry than you. I wanted to let you I wish you a great outcome on Monday and will be sending healing thoughts your way!

I am 50 this year and so ready to be done with the bags, I am not anti-implant and they served a purpose for me when I decided to get them in, they were grerat for awhile and then became such a big problem, had CC 3 surguries , the list goes on , until I wised up enough to find the right doc to remove instead of talking me into replacement once again. March 22 is my explant date! yay!

Good luck on your day! My thoughts & well wishes will be coming your way!

How are you feeling? What do you mean by severe? are you ok?
March 16, 2013
I'm feeling great! The left side capsule was very thick which made it more difficult to remove but everything went well otherwise. The drains are still in place & should come out by Monday:-)) I'm very happy with my results thus far & am looking forward to the fat transfer. I have asymmetrical breast tissue which is why I got the implants originally. As you can see by my pics I had small implants to begin with. The left side is raised which was due to the more significant encapsulation on that side. I will take explantation photos in another week or two & post them.

How are you doing? I see you had both capsulectomies done, how do you feel? I am having the same done on the 12th.

I'm feeling great. I'm not sore anymore. I go in for fat transfer on April 18th. Good luck with your surgery.

Best wishes for your procedure with Dr Salemy today! I hope it went smoothly, and you achieve the results you're hoping for. Just think, you're done w/ boobie surgeries! Congrats : )

Thank you for all of the well wishes. The surgery went very well. Dr. Salemy did a fabulous job. They took fat from my love handles, stomach & medial thighs. My breasts look great. I'm sore from the lipo - especially in the love handle area! The fat transfer is a great option. I'll post photos soon!

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf! How come you want your implants removed rather than replaced?
Fat transfer is a great option for some ladies. I hope it works fabulously well for you. Please keep us posted!
