I understand what you are saying. It is a big decision. I am so happy to have mine out. I still look at some young women and admire their boob job...but realize that mine would never look like that, and I'm not 30...big difference. I say if you have been thinking about this for awhile, remove the implants and give yourself 6-9 months. Be patient and prepared, as it's an emotionally riviting experience. You may run the gambit of emotions, but with time find peace and confidence with your breasts. They will be your own. Most of my friends have implants so I am definitely the outlier.,.but happy. We are so critical of ourselves, that my new focus is accepting myself, loving what I have and enstilling confidence into myself and my decisions. Good luck to you...I kow you'll find the right decision that will be best for you in the long run.

I just wanted to share my experience. I am 5'6" and weigh 123 lbs.(so not a big person). I had a lift 3 years ago and really wanted more fullness in my upper pole area. I was a 32D (should have known I wouldn't like it!) and a year later asked my PS if it was possible to remain the same size, yet achieve upper pole fullness. He suggested 325cc silicone High Profile implants. I had the surgery and hated them from the day I got them. I thought I looked deformed they were so high. I was self conscious and couldn't fit into anything. I was now a 32DD. I think they continued to get bigger over the 2 years. Maybe as they were settling. At any rate, I finally decided to get them out. I said I did not want new implants, then second guessed my decision. I had them removed a week ago. The first 3 days were devastating. I was furious with myself for even putting them in me in the first place. I was flat and squished. It now has been a week and I have never been happier. I do not have as much fullness as I did 3 years ago following the lift, but it is so much better than the implants. I can actually fit into clothes again. I am now a 34C (some 32D)...which is so funny because I've always hated having big boobs. I was just trying to get them firmer.

Hard lesson--both financially and emotionally. I wish I had taken the action long before now. So, I encourage you to do the explant...give yourself some time following the surgery, and remember they will improve. I didn't need another lift. It seems we are a small minority in the world today, as most like them. What I am finding is maybe those of us who don't like them are more common than we think. Good luck to you guys.
