“Yesterday My Implants Were Removed ”

I meant congrats, not contests! Darn spellcheck!

I just want to add that even after having my implants for 18 years when I look in the mirror now I feel like I never had them. it is so good to see myself again. My natural self the way I was created. My breasts may be a dize A again but they are soft natural and all me. I can sympathize with all the women who say they miss their smaller athletic bodies. I love jogging and had to stop because of the pain I would have with my left breast. I cant wait to be able to go out jogging again in my regular sports bra and enjoy exercising the way I always did before. Best of luck to all of you who are contemplating removing your implants. It was the best decision I have made.

Hi. I agree! I had mine removed on 27th Jan after nearly 12 years (I took so long to make the decision to have them removed as I was worried about how they would look). I wish I had found this site before (I found it after I had my operation on 27th!) as it would have made the decision much easier. I am also looking forward to running again. xxx

absolutely..small, natural ,soft breasts...are hot..if you look in maxim magazine which i think is quite juicy at times..it is about having a tight,toned,defined,svelte, lower body,having a flat stomach and a youthful ,firm,high backside,so many of those girls in their are a cups and b's and totally rock ..Deep down i always agreed with this...in a moment of weakness i had implants put in ...i never believed my boyfriend ,he begged me not to do it,and i did..he has less zealousness for that area of my body in intimate moments now...i am fearful of the unknown ..looking worse after they are out then i tell myself ..you never know unless you try..i miss looking innocent in a tank top layered with a nice crisp white t shirt...now the endless jokes and wisecracks are unbearable ..i cannot imagine spending another summer in shame..

i went for a consultation to a plastic surgeon downtown here.He got it ,we were on the same page,he said the implants made me top heavy,and were placed to high as well as being to big.i originally was going to see him for something else but thought since i was their, why not get his opinion on this topic that loomed so heavily in my mind,he said i would not be happy if i just removed them and suggested small implants so i would be a full c at most and an internal lift using vaser liposuction..i told him i did not want any scars on the breast .i had breastfed twins for for four and a half years and after that had sensation in my breasts ,i told him it was very important to not lose any feeling whatsoever.Prior to breastfeeding i had no feeling in my breasts and derived no pleasure in that department in intimacy.So...i have a few other consultation lined up .I must take my time and do this right,gather different viewpoints and then have time to mull over it all.I only have one vacation time every year which is christmas ...i am thinking to stick it out till next year and grin and bear it..that which does not kill you will only make you stronger...sounds and feels good in the comfort of my home ..i actually started exercising again...my sister who is thirty lbs heavier than me is my inspiration...she loves her body and when she orders something fattening she pronounces she is "working on her figure"..she jokes that she wears a girdle and eats pie at the same time...it is that sense of humor and being able to make fun of ones self can help so much in getting through what otherwise seem like unbearable times..some days it bothers me and others ...it does not...true freedom is to not care what others think of you...

Hi crucified, the bottom line is its all about the almighty dollar for the surgeons. They know that we are in a vulnerable position and fearful of the outcome and some of them will use that to their advantage. My breasts actually look a little better as far as fuller than before my implants. I had ptosis of the left one from breastfeeding prior to my implants and for some reason they are more even now. They are more hollow up top but a good bra makes a big difference. Even women who never had implants will sag eventually. Thats what happens to our breasts so there is nothing wrong with that. Follow your heart and remember if after 6 months or so after explant you are unhappy because of sagging you can always have a lift like my surgeon told me. Good luck with your decision. Keep us posted.
