Yesterday My Implants Were Removed

WORTH IT$1,100
I am having implants (300) above the muscles for the last 10 years. I went from a cup B to a cup C. My nipples were a bit saggy and this result was kept if not accentuated with the breast implant. I am thinking about having a baby, and since my skin is not strong (I got yet stretches from a pregnancy which ended without giving birth to a child)I decided to take the implants first out before getting pregnant. after pregnancy and breast feeding (I hope it will be possible), I will judge what is necessary to do (either just lift the breast without implants, or add implants under the muscle).
I got the surgery yesterday. it wasn't painful at all, but I was very afraid of getting saggy empty breasts and my dream would be to find again my B cup. I came back the same day to my home after a 30 minutes operation. one of the implants was even ruptured and I remember that I started crying when I knew that :) but the doctor told me that there is no problem with this since he cleaned everything and since the implants were from a serious manufacturer.
I saw my breasts. they seam to be empty but they don't look dis-formed. I am positively surprised since I was expecting a horrible result. I will post here pictures for the ladies who are intending to take out their implants so they can see what they couls expect. at the moment I have pics with implants and pics 1 day after removal. hope it will help you girls, I was myself looking like crazy for such testimonials.

Thank you for posting your pics. I think you look better without implants. I just had mine taken out. So the pictures helped me on kinda what to expect. I am happy with the way the look now. I am wondering how long before the change. And what will change? I have been told takes 3 to 6 months before you know how they will really look. What does that mean? I do feel FREEDOM now that they are gone. So I guess it does not matter. I just dont want them to change to much, because they are bigger than what I started with. Again Thanks

Hi Lady 1979. You look so much better! I'm so glad your surgery was a success and you feel good. Take it easy during your recovery!
Mopsie, contests on removing your implants! I personally noticed a change within a couple of weeks. Whilst I had a lot of tissue at the bottom, the top was flat, almost concave. After a few days that flat part wasn't so flat, and within 4 weeks, I couldn't tell I'd ever had implants. It can take a lot longer for them to settle completely, but you should start to notice them filling out very soon. I don't think it necessarily means they will get bigger, just that the squashed down parts will plump back up. All the best to you!

Hi Ladies,
My left under the muscle saline implant deflated seven days ago. I was so scared at first but now my breast looks fine to me. I've had them for 12 years and breastfed two kids. They were medium size implants. I am going soon to have the implants removed and not replaced.
I'm wondering though if the deflated implant is adding much volume and if
the breast will look much smaller when it is removed. Anyone know how much difference removing the deflated shell makes?
Congrats Lady1979! I think you look great with them out! Thanks for posting.
I cannot wait to have mine out and have my soft natural small breasts back!

Hi girls,
I just saw today all your posts and your messages! because of your feedback I am even more happy that I shared this experience with you! our boobs are o important for us ladies that we get very emotional when it comes to them :)!
I remember how afraid I was when I decided to take the implants out! how will I look like? I felt I will perhaps not feel like a woman anymore!
on 14.02 my husband bought me new Push Up BH.
he asked me before which size I have and I said 75B (this is the size I had before the surgery).
the 2 BH were too small for me, and I went back with him to the shop and I exchanged them and got 75 C :)!
after 2 weeks i could yet say that I made the right decision! my breast are stil not feeling firm and still hurt, but only 2 weeks went after the surgery!
the skin of my breast ist the weakest skin quality I have in my hole body. almost the only region with strech marks! so I was afraid that I will get empty balloons!
after 2 weeks, they are not full and standing, but they are not empty balloons!
so girls if you wanna make the OP, do it! don't be afraid! if you have a good skin quality than they will be exactly as they were before the implants, even if you had them for 10 years and more, and if you have a not very good skin quality, like mine, than they will take time to get better, and you can discover with me together how they will progress.
i will be posting once a week my pics!
I hope it will help you and thanks again to all the encouraging ladies n this forum!

February 16, 2012
Yeah I don't have very large implants but don't really ever get em out! Small n natural is so nice I wish I had never put these in! Having your story really has made me so positive about this I can't wait to have a look at new bras x

Hi Lady1979 wow you look fab just wondered did you have an uplift or were your implants removed via the nipple the size of yours is similar to mine and can't seem to stop worrying about how they will look when I get them out if they end up anything like yours I will be over the moon wish I could stop thinking about it and just wait and see thanks so much for posting your pictures has given me a glimmer of hope xx

I've had my implants in for 14years and it's coming to the time when I know they have to be removed... To be honest I'm terrified of how my breasts will look once they implants are gone. I've nursed to babies and nursed another 3 before I had my surgery. What with all the concerns over implant safety I know I'm making the correct decision but for someone who couldn't look at my breast before surgery, I'm struggling with the reality of life without them.

To mcginty..I too have had mine for 13 years. I nursed 2 babies before and when I went to go have implants I was very deflated and saggy. I nursed another baby with them. I also was caught up in how breasts should really loook like. I am a little more comfortable with me now and I need to embrace what god gave me, and then....if then I will think about a lift. I also am thinking about having the doctor deflate them prior to surgery so I can make a better judgement. Breasts are not supposed to be round hard balls, no matter what any doctor says. Unfortunately society has brainwashed all of us women into thinking that they should be.

I have the same fears. I have had mine for 15 years and nursed one baby. They are above the muscle so they they look very natural because they do sag a little. They are also not very big...small C. I am having my explant surgery on April 3rd and although I am very nervous...I am excited. The last few years I have found women with small breasts more attractive so I guess it's a good thing. I plan on posting before and after pictures.

Hi thanks for replying just wondered are you having an uplift or just out what did your surgeon say Im so unsure as to what to do kind of just thinking go get whatever needs done then have nothing to do with this type of industry again I have to say I am so wary of trusting the PS can't help feeling they are all just out to make money regardless, bit unfair I know I'm sure there are some good ones out there but who?? thanks for replying xx

Hi ladies, I had mine removed today. I might post pics later but feel too fragile and vulnerable to put them out there right now. There is some discomfort with the incisions but the pain meds help. I can see down the bra and they look pretty good to me. I'd love to post pics to help anyone but right now feel very emotional and fragile...so maybe next week. I am elated to have them out and ecstatic to be 100% small and natural again. I feel this burden has been finally lifted, and I just want to move forward being as healthy as possible from now on. If anyone has questions, please ask as I would love to help you ladies who are dealing with all of this too :-)
I do have drains in which are kind of yucky but getting those removed on Wed. Very tired emotionally and groggy from anesthesia.
