Brownies123 and Mopsie, thank you so much for your encouragement and feedback on the recovery period after getting them removed. I'm so glad to hear that you are both happy with your decision. I hope that I can be as brave as you have been. I really wish that I would have run across this website before I had the surgery, as all I found when I was doing my research was how wonderful everyone thought they were. More women need to know that feeling this way emotionally and physically post implants is a real possibility. I guess we sometimes read what we want to read and I didn't want to scare myself by reading about what might happen. You are so right when you advise me to not let others question my decision, as the doctor has already told me "you don't want to do that" when I asked him about removing them. I know that I will need to be firm with my decision when I talk to him again. It's my body and my decision. Thanks again and I'll keep you posted.
I cannot tell you how much better I feel knowing that I am not alone. All of my life I thought I wanted breast augmentation, and wanted to go from a B to a C. I'm only 5'3" so my worst fear was going to big and looking "heavy". I had surgery almost 5 weeks ago and have regretted it ever since. All of my friends loved it when they got them, but I have hated them ever since. I am much bigger than I want to be and they have barely gone down since surgery. Not only that, one isn't dropping at all, so I now have lopsided breasts! I miss the old me and thought I was the only one who felt like this. I can't believe that I feel this way after thinking that I really wanted them. I cry whenever I see photos of myself and absolutely despise myself now. My doctor wants me to wait and then wants to just replace with smaller ones, but I just don't think that smaller ones are going to make that much of a difference to me. It is reassuring to hear that others have gone thru the same emotional and physical challenges as I've never heard about women feeling this way post surgery. Thank you for sharing your story, and I think I am going to go ahead and have them removed. I looked beautiful before and just didn't realize it. I do have a question though. How was the recovery? The initial breast augmentation was just horribly painful and uncomfortable. Will the recovery of getting them removed be any easier? Next time I am going to just go to Victoria Secrets and buy a push up bra!
