Hi, I am looking to get my 300cc mentor implants removed. I had my original surgery in 2016. I am currently breastfeeding my 16 month old baby but feel really strongly about having my implants removed due to health implications long term. I also get a lot of pain and its feels often like the onset of mastitis if my boobs are left to get even slightly full of milk during the day.
