I had mine out 5 weeks ago, after 26 years. I was 35 when I got them. You asked a few questions about life changes. For me I became much more confident. After having 4 children my boobs had gone quite flat and after BA I felt beautiful again. As a result I also became quite selfish - divorced my husband so I could "shop" around legally, got into a some sexual situations I now regret, and became a mother I'm not proud of. I simply became self-centered and "all about me". This lasted quite a few years, I'm sorry to say. When things began to sag I came back down to earth and settled down in every respect. I wanted them out 15 years ago but couldn't afford it. They were no longer "fun" and were quickly losing their eye appeal. Plus, hugging anyone was like having two softballs between us, which was really sad when trying to hug my kids and grandkids. Mine were under the muscle so the implants stayed high while my boobs went south. It was all just odd. I'm very glad I got them out. Good luck on getting yours. We all have to do what we think is right. And you can always remove them if you don't like them!
I'm finally doing really good! It's been a long 5 weeks but the past week has gotten so much better and comfortable! My vertical scar is fading nicely, like yours. I had an allergic reaction to some gel the ps sold me so the scars around the nips are still somewhat inflamed but coming along. Everything I've read says this whole process takes 6 months to a year, so I guess we're in for more surprises in the coming months! Today I noticed how flat the top of my boobs are - the area that the implants sat under. But, like you, I'm happy with my smaller size and enjoy seeing myself in a small bra instead of the bowling ball cases! :) Have a wonderful Christmas! xo
