I had 500cc implants placed under the muscle for 6 years, then I had them replaced with 400cc. I have never truly been comfortable with implants, but they are stunning so I know it seems crazy. But I’m now an active person and I just wish I never enhanced them in the first place. My question is, if I did remove them within the next couple years, what would I realistically be left with?
