i am 23 years old and had my saline implants (had them for 5 years) removed 12 days ago on Feb. 11. They were under the muscle and were removed through the same incision used for implanting (under my breasts). I have had a nearly painless recovery so far and my breasts already look better than i could have hoped for.
