Hi ladies! The stories and pictures on this site helped me alot so I thought I should share mine. I got 240cc under the muscle saline implants when I was 18. There is nothing wrong... no pain, no rupture, they look and feel good...I'm just ready for them to be out. At 18 I didn't think too much about what would happen or what they would look like later in life. I was a small B and now wear a C or D depending on the bra. My surgery is scheduled for September 23rd and I'm so excited and nervous. My doctor is very nice and easy to communicate with. He said he will not use drains which makes me really happy because they totally freak me out!! I will post pictures and updates once it's done. Good luck to anyone in the same situation, I think we are making a good choice! :)

Hmmm. I thought I replied to this already..sorry if it posts twice. Anyways! Thank you! But, it's been close to 10 years and it will be time for some "maintenance" in the near future. I'd rather just have them removed than keep up with them as I get older. Also I'd like to have them out and completely healed *IF* the time comes for me to get pregnant.

Very wise! I'm removing mine next month! Can't wait to get these things out of my body! I pray everything goes well and we both have a beautiful outcome! Best wishes :) xx

Hi. I wish I was as self-aware and smart as you and had mine out before they made me horrendously sick! It's a matter of time and the severity varies from person to person, but silicone is not good to have in your body and will degrade and cause problems. Wishing you well. You should have a lovely result. Keep us posted. Xo

I think you are smart and making an important proactive decision, although, I must agree, that you look surprising great and natural for implants.

It is so strange to see your real body! I had no idea what I would look like after having implants since 18 (11 years). I was surprised how tiny I actually am! I went from a C-D cup to an A :) But I am totally ok with it

I had my pre-op appointment today and everything is all set. I am not looking forward to fasting all day before the surgery though. eek! I ordered 2 wireless bras today but I have no idea if they'll fit. How long did you ladies wear a sports bra? What about showering? How long did you wait?

Yay!! Good luck. I wore sports bra 24-7 for almost 3 weeks and never go bra less --either a sports or other supportive bra all the time. I felt it was critical to keep the depot li'l girls supported all the time so the skin would retract instead of letting gravity drag them down. :-). Worked for me--I am amazed how I filled out. I had drains but could shower after a few days. Good luck!!
