Silicone Implant Removal Booked - and Advice Welcome - United Kingdom, GB

I just wanted to share my story and see if anyone else has had a similar experience. I am 33 and had breast implants 10 years ago because I was so insecure about my 34aa and felt like they were the the only thing that was holding me back from being confident. I was completely happy with the implants and barely noticed that I had them. I had the operation without telling anyone at all, only one close friend who let me stay with her for a few days to recover. My family and friends still do not know I had the operation because I had always worn padded bras/chicken filets etc there wasn't too much of a difference in my breast size. I know that they would be very shocked to find out that I had implants.

I do not have PIP implants but after hearing the story of how toxic PIP implants were I started to feel strange about having any implants at all. Over the last few years I have noticed that I am always tired or felt very run down, have memory and concentration problems. Sometimes I feel a little bit dizzy, have joint pain or sharp pains in chest. I know most doctor say that there isn't any link between implants and these health conditions but after reading so many women with implants have similar stories to tell I decided to have my implants removed.

I have booked the surgery for 21st Jan and Im so excited to have them removed and be natural again.

I am very scared about the surgery and I know that my breasts will not look like they do now. I don't really mind anymore, my health has become more of a priority. When I had the implants put in I was in a different mindset.

I have found that this website has been my main source support on this journey to make my decision and so thankful that there are other women on here who have had or are having similar journeys.

I was a 34aa, went up to 34c, over the muscle and have had them for 10 years. Has anyone else in a similar position has them removed, what was it like? What did your breasts look like after the removal. My surgeon said that there is a huge psychological affect on a woman after having the implants removed. How did you all feel?

Thank you for any help/advice/stories. :-)

Yesterday I paid the balance of my surgery. It was 4000 euro and Im wishing the time away to 21st Jan my main anxiety is thinking about having the anaesthetic and just praying that everything is ok.
I seem to be getting a burning sensation and a tiny bit of pain in my left breast, I don't know if it's always been there and I'm just noticing it more or if it has just started?
Like many other women on here I cant stop noticing all the attention to boobs on tv shows, movies, adverts. They are everywhere...no wonder we felt/feel under so much pressure to look a certain way. The way I feel now, I cant imagine how insecure I must have felt at 24 to undergo a secret breast augmentation.
I have made a promise to myself to have my implants removed and take a serious look my attitude to my body and putting my health as a priority.
I am really excited about becoming more clearheaded and less tired and less having less aches. From reading all of the stories on here Im sure I will feel a difference.
I have also been looking a pretty bras for (very) small busts. I know Im 2 or 3 months off that but I just trying to adjust my mindset as much as I can so the post boobs are not such a big shock.
Thank you for all of your comments and messages. I feel like I am getting so much support from you all.
