Explant

$6,000
It’s 11 years later now. I did end up getting an explant for $900 done in office. I was numbed up. He made a small incision, drained my implants, then pulled them out. Easy peasy. This was back in 2020. I made the right decision as I have no regrets doing it. Those things were a nightmare.

There was a lot of confusion concerning the type of anesthesia I would be given due to the office personnel not being informed or misunderstanding somewhere along the line. Initial consultation was very long (waited 2 1/2 hrs.), but after the procedure was performed, I waited approximately 15 to 30 minutes for follow-up appointments. The PS can be quite difficult at times. He did mention I may need a revision after the procedure but never mentioned a lift which is what I feel should have been suggested. He's knowledgeable to be sure, and the incisions he made were small and healed great, but his personality can be very off-putting.

18 Months Later.......

After seeing the PS who implanted them in the first place and 2 other consults, I have decided to keep the implants for a while. Every doctor recommended against it. Plus, one of the consults wanted $5500 for an explant which I think is way too much for a removal in an office.

Basically, my husband is very against the explant. They are more annoying than anything, and since I can't really afford another procedure, I will have to keep them. I'm quite disappointed, but that's life sometimes.

sorry you are in this situation. I had implants for 11 years and I loved them, until I gained weight and my boobs got too big! I had the implants removed and no regrets at all. I believe surgeons caution against it because they think women will be sad that they are deflated. My implants weren't too big (325) and it wasn't an issue. But I didn't have sag before. I think you probably would be happy with explant and a lift. I hope you can have that done someday!
I would rather they be out, but the husband is against it. The doctors seemed to be against having an explant or explant and lift. I really think it's a man thing.
when I approached my PS about explanting he asked a number of times if I was sure. But he did not recommend against it. Even a lift with a small implant would be more comfortable and attractive than what you are left with now. The rock in a sock look :(
Explanting with local anesthesia in his office shouldnt be very costly.
If you hate them that much, get them out. It's your body and you are in charge of it.
I've explanted do I know how it feels to hate heavy implants.
So basically youbdo what everybody wants but you. Will be great if you could feel happy in your own skin.
Maybe consult on getting a lift?
your husband needs to get over it

Doctor Appt. w/Original PS in Sept.

I have scheduled a doctor's appt. this month with the original PS. I am going to talk with him about getting them removed. Hubby isn't thrilled of course, but every day is a chore. My chest always has this enormous pressure on it. Does anyone else feel that way?
