WORTH IT

I had silicone implants inserted in 1990. I was 22 and and a was left with a small A cup after nursing my 2 children. I told the dr that did the surgery I was not looking to become huge or anything but just wanted " my " breasts back. When the surgery was finished I was a full B. I was alright with that for a year and then started hating the hardness in my breasts! I talked it over with the dr and he suggested to give it more time, which I did. Well 22 years later, 2 more kids and several pounds heavier, I am now a full C and hate it. My breasts hurt, especially the right one. And they are hard.
I found this site and found it very helpful - I am terrified of the outcome! But after hearing of everyones experiences and looking at the pictures that have been posted - has given me courage. I have a consult booked with a dr in Richmond BC but can't get in until August 6th - that seems like forever. I had hoped to have them out before that. I would love to hear of any recommendations for the Vancouver BC area.

Sorry you have to wait until August for your first consult. Maybe you could ask to be put on a waiting list in case anyone cancels and something opens up.

I'm glad you found RealSelf, too and hope you find the site to be a great source of support and information for you as you embark on this journey.

I am seriously thinking of going to Washington State ( Seattle ) for a quicker explant. Funny how I have thought about it for so many years, and now that I have made up my mind- I want them out now!I have been asked to be put on a cancellation list.

Hi breezy123, i am due for explant the 4th sept, i know what you mean about when you feel so definite about something you want it to happen there and then. I was so not sure about what i was doing until i found this site and now i have never felt so positive and happy with my decision, it is like a huge weight has been lifted. Good luck with all your planning. When do you think you will have the op?

My surgery date is April 15.. I am so excited to get them out! I have decided to just have the removal, no lift like suggested. I guess this gives me a bit of time to find bras and such. How long do the drains usually stay in?
