WORTH IT$5,200
Very happy with Dr and staff, make you feel comfortable and explain everything...glad I found this Dr he has 26 years experience
Have had mine for about 35 years and they have become hard and slightly painful at times. The right side has ruptured onside the capsule so glad I went in when I did.
Surgery is on the 28th of Aug and Dr said it would be under gen anes, and fairly short duration. I have waited so long to get this done and am excited to be finally getting them out. I am 61 and want them out before I have any other issues with them. These are dow corning implants but didnt qualify for the reimbursement because the dr that put them in retired and all his records were eventually destroyed, so after paying 700. to put them in it will cost me 5200. to have them removed. Lesson learned ladies leave your bodies alone and never get implants so not worth the hassle or expense, or uncomfortability (just made that word up lol)
Ill let you all know how it goes as I am praying for all of you to have a successful outcome. So happy I found this site and people have been wonderful and we all have something in common and it has helped me immensely to share with all of you pics will be up shortly after surgery Dr provides b4 and after pics for me.
God bless all

I day post OP
alrteeAugust 29, 2013
Sooo happy I did this and it wasnt as bad as my anxiety thought . Dr and staff were wonderful and it went pretty fast. I had a general so dont remember being wheeled to op room. When it was over about 2 hrs later other than being a litter drugged felt pretty good.
This morning feeling better and a little sore, like i pulled a muscle. I have drains in and I think thats the worse part of this, measuring all that goo...but they come out Tuesday so cant wait. From what I can see my little boobies and back and looking pretty good for a 61 year old will have pics to post in a few days !
If your hesitating to do this don't I look like I have dropped about 10 lbs, and clothes are looking better on my body . You instantly feel a weight being lifted off your body its just fantastic!! Wished I had the money to do this years ago!
Thanks for all the support and well wishes , God bless you all...will keep posting updates and hopefully pics soon!!
I'm a member of the bag-less club!!!!! LOVING IT !!

So happy for you... the next few days are going to be the hardest. Im finally on day 7 and can noticed the soreness subsiding and the incisions healing nicely. I agree with you when you say it looks like you have lost 10 pounds overnight, I walk by the mirror now and I feel like I look so much thinner now. I love it. Make sure you take it as easy as possible. 2 days ago, I felt like starting to do some small things around the house and by the end of the day I was hurting. Sooooo, I realize Im not where I need to be and will take it much easier. Also if you have any problems with constipation from the pain meds, another woman suggested Ducolax and it worked like a charm.

Congratulations! You made it to the other side! Isn't it terrific? Got my stitches out yesterday & my nipples are itching like crazy! They are so soft and wonderful ;). Rest up and enjoy.

thank you , It is fantastic!! I love soft and squishy. Be glad when drains come out !!

Im at 12 days out now, sheesh went fast. Still just a bit sore under the breasts but doing good. Actually starting to do a little house cleaning (what hubby will let me do) and he took me to store yesterday. Having starting back driving yet, but may try that today !! Dr said I can start going to back to my walk and exercise this Thursday cant wait !! How are you doing Tiny ?
September 12, 2013
I'm doing great! I just keep thinking why didn't I do this sooner?! I can't believe how much better it all is. My surgery was very minimal and I was able to do just about anything pretty quickly. I'm glad to hear you're feeling AWESOME! I know how you feel - everyday just gets better and better. I love the way I look in my clothes, I don't have to hide them anymore. And like Soon2BrealmeTX, we won't be in our 70's carrying around those water bags. I'm still not completely healed - I can feel a little pull every now and then and my nipples are still droopy but I'm looking forward to the upcoming changes. Even if they don't change, I'm perfectly content the way they are. I bought some 34B underwire bras with a little padding and I'm thrilled they way they look. They fit my body like they always did before the implants! Hope all is still going well!

Im right there with you Tinyreindeer, still have a bit of a pull now and again more on the right side than the left, droopy nipples but that will take some time and if not oh well just glad to be natural again. Now just need to lose a bit of weight LOL when i'm completely healed. Took me awhile to find a comfortable bra, but finally did and happy! Couldnt even imagine carry those things when Im 70, although I did run into someone having an explant at 69!! Glad your doing well :)
August 30, 2013
That's great! It does feel wonderful doesn't it, knowing I won't be in my 70's with those huge things under my skin and dragging me down. Can't wait to see your pictures when you feel better!

Drains out !!
alrteeSeptember 3, 2013
Finally drains came out, feels wonderful, have one more week before I can exercise . Dr says all looks good don't have to go back for one month and get to SHOWER tonite (no more sponge baths hehehe). Have to find a good support Bra, any suggestions? I went to kohl s but nothing there was comfortable with my incisions.
This surgery was so worth it and couldn't have gotten through it without all the good people on here to help , praise the Lord for this site !!
Photos soon
