I had the Breast Lift with Saline Implants removed...
I had the Breast Lift with Saline Implants removed and I could not be happier!! The drains were not as unpleasant as I had thought they would be, they did not hurt either. I had to empty them every 6 - 8 hours. I looped the rope to hold them behind my neck with a small cotton rope and wore a zip up shirt. I used Tylenol for pain and I did not have to use the heavier pain killers my Dr. prescribed just in case. I am so happy I had this procedure done. I am thrilled with the results and can see and feel the difference.
I wish I had done this sooner. I know I will have some scars but to me it has been well worth it.

Hello to you all. First, I would like to thank...
Hello to you all.
First, I would like to thank those of you that have posted your experiences here from the bottom of my heart. (if I can find my heart under these watermelons :) What inspirational stories, they have been keeping me motivated to have my implants removed and have a breast lift at the same time.
I am 47
38DDD
178 weight (gained 35 in 12 years)
425 saline filled to 500cc (UGG) (12 yrs. ago)
My posture is poor as I try to hide my chest
My story begins with me always having somewhat sagging breast, C cup but droopy compared to my friends. In 2000 I went to a PS and was interested in finding out what I could do to remedy the sagging. My friends were getting implants and the PS said that I was on the border of needing a Lift. ( mistake on my part was my not understanding ... Breast lift vs. Implants to make my nipples higher)
Well, he said the implants would help and that I would be a D cup. I cannot blame him, I should have made sure I understood everything. Since I was single, the PS probably didn't push for a Lift due to the scars the Anchor Lift would leave as that is the one I needed and still need. Well, after the implants were in under the muscle, I was just larger and eventually drooped even more with the added weight of the implants and the weight that I put on. Since then, I have always been embarrassed by my size, I do not like the attention and like others have mentioned. I would wear XXL or 2XL T-shirts to help hide my chest, especially around family. Winter being my favorite time of year so I could hide in large fleece shirts. I dread spring and summer. I am so tired of this, naturally as I have aged, it is even more uncomfortable. Working out I have to wear 2 tight sports bras and can hardly breath in them and wear very baggy shirts over them. I must buy XL Blouses or larger depending on the style and of coarse ... forget the cute summer dresses as I look like I am ready for a one women Vegas Show entitled Boobville. No way can I, or shall I say-- would I, wear a cute dress like that because I would be falling out of it....Even if it did happen to fit. I frankly and just tired of going into my closet to get ready for a casual Saturday lunch for instance, out with my husband and getting ready, and all I see is this enormous chest and the bra that is always killing me. (I take a sweatshirt to put on in restaurants so I can relax and not feel like I am being stared at, even if it is hot outside) I look heavier than I am all the time too. Granted I need to lose some but even if I don't these implants must go, I am hoping to be a B/C but will probably be a C/D and hopefully the Lift will make my nipples look out instead of down. I am getting the Anchor Lift and the Saline Implants removed. YEA!!! I googled 500cc and I think it is 2.2lbs just in implants leaving my body. Not to mention some of the skin I hope he will remove. My shoulders hurt from the bra and I get cranky too. Writing this I feel like I have a small weight on my chest from the implants just sitting here... why oh why did I have these implants put in when I could have just had a lift to begin with. Well, I hope this helps even just one of you out there. I will update as I progress with the surgery. I hope I am doing the right thing by having the Lift at the same time but my nipples almost face the ground, so there is NO doubt a Lift must be done. Hopefully, onward and UPward...haha.
PS said I will have drains for 5days.... eeewwww... but whatever it takes to feel and look better.
God Bless.

Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
109 S. Northshore Dr., Knoxville, Tennessee
Dr. Reath was wonderful. He listened to what I had to say and then gave me his honest opinion. Dr. Reath offered an option that I had not contemplated before and that was to remove my implants with a lift only. I thought I'd have to have the lift and insert new implants too. Dr. Reath has a very informative website as well, he answers many questions that one may have right there. I was impressed with Dr. Reath's staff from my very first phone call, they set a very professional, friendly, positive and efficient tone right from the beginning. The surgery center Dr. Reath uses was very Clean and the staff there were professional and at the same time they were kind and calmed my nerves.
