Naturally a 34B, now a 34d/dd I have regretted...

Naturally a 34B, now a 34d/dd
I have regretted getting a boob job since I woke up from the surgery. They looked far larger than I had anticipated and Dr. Ed Pound who had performed the TUBA under the muscle high profile mentor saline augmentation told me I was a "big girl" and could "handle it."

Well, I don't know if he meant physically, but I have a very small frame and have been embarrassed of my chest ever since. It's very obvious they're fake, and any time I lose the weight that I want it gets so obvious that I just end up putting weight I don't even want back on.

I've always been very insecure of being topless since my real breast tissue hangs strangely off of these large implants when i bend over naked (like to pick something off the ground). Rippling still shows up when I'm at a lower weight.

I'm afraid I'll have a lot of scars, but at this point, I'd rather have some scars and real, small, natural, comfortable breasts than these huge bowling balls that are always in my way and hurting me or causing discomfort.
I'm tired of the attention my chest gets from skeezy guys. I miss not wearing a bra hahaha.

I was very engorged while breast feeding my son, so I ended up quitting the breast feeding earlier than I wanted to bc I just couldn't handle the enormous breasts I had! They were GIGANTIC, and produced milk well, in much abundance.

I hope everything goes well with Dr. Kolb b/c I can't wait to be free and be myself again. I'm so anti plastic surgery now b/c of this experience I had. It was traumatic and I only did it to please my ex husband who made me feel insecure about my breasts. Now I'm doing this for ME.

I need this surgery for my mental and physical health. I'm tired of the back pain, of the insecurity, of the shame. I want to be who I really am and I don't feel like I can do that with two gigantic targets on my chest.

I know I'm beautiful with or without them, but I was happier the way God made me and want that gift back.

Hi mommyd! I had TUBA as well. Way too big and a vulgar amount of side boob. Good luck with your consultation- she's famous for explants! Will be following your journey. :-)

Good for you MommyD your right you have to do it for 'you'. I have read so many reviews on here now, and it seems a lot of us get implants or have been influenced in getting implants because of other peoples views on our bodies. Grrrrr X

I know! I'm so embarrassed of my low self esteem. I think this will be self empowering.

Sounds as if you'll be happier the sooner you get them out. Even setting a surgery date makes you feel better - go ahead and do that and then hunt around for the money to do it....$10K is pricey, bue maybe you can find an equally good surgeon for a bit less in Atlanta? Good luck!!

I have the money. I'm worried about experience and quality over cost. I've found other doctors out of state but with travel expenses it might be the same cost or more. This would include my much needed lift, and I believe a detox process. If anyone knows of any other experienced surgeons for explanation please share their names!

Hi this is kylee and I was wondering what a detox procedure was??

I am very interested in your story because I had much of the same experience: I am athletic, very thin and fit and I had these huge implants that were so obviously fake, even though I loved them for many years. Men stared at them constantly and I thought that was cool many years ago, but I'm too old for that now. Also, I live in the Atlanta area and will check out your doctor. My PS made a mess of my breasts with my explantation - they are asymmetrical and sagging and wrinkly; quite ugly and depressing. I need a lift but I'm afraid there is not enough breast tissue left for that without additional implants. If I ever consider doing that, I would have to get them much smaller and more natural looking, but I don't think I want any more plastic inside me. Don't know if I can handle it either way.

Sounds as if you need the explant and a general fix-up (lift?)...if the surgeon is that good, I'm sure she can at least make you fairly symmetrical again. Better, methinks, to keep the implants out of your body....:)

There's a ps in Cleveland Ohio...I can't remember her name right now but I've contacted her, she's Asian and also specializes in explants and non implant augmentation with stem cell fat grafting. She does not do implants at all she is against them! If I get bad news from dr kolb that ill be a AA or less ill probably go to that doc for the fat graft augmentation, lift, and explant. I actually plan on consulting with her before I schedule any surgery with dr kolb bc I just want more than one opinion. I fortunately have family in Ohio that I could stay with while I recover.

Thank you for that advice. It is encouraging to know there is at least one PS somewhere who is anti-implant - I can hardly believe it! Please let me know about the fat graft augmentation. I have heard that it is frightfully expensive, time-consuming (which is OK), but that it does not always work, anyway.

mommyd

All I know is that usually only about 30% of the fat grafted "takes", and that it might not last forever even if it does. I just think it would lessen the initial blow of saggy flat deflated boobs. I think the doctor in Ohio IS very expensive, but luckily I was left a large inheritance that I could pay for everything with (bc otherwise I am by no means financially wealthy lol). I'm hoping the fact that I'm still in my late twenties and healthy will help. I know my skin has been stretched too far by how engorged I became while breast feeding. That's what's really terrifying me...I don't want too many scars. :((

The fact that you are still so young is in your favor. I am 58 and my skin was very stretched (no stretch marks!!) by too large implants for nearly 25 years - my skin does not have the same elasticity as yours should still have. Consequently, my poor breasts sag and are completely concave. They are quite a sight and I am in distress but I'm trying to live with this unfortunate change for now. What other choice do I have? I'm a little over one month explanted and I will need to wait at least 6 months for things to settle down before I can consider another surgery. Very depressing...

mommyd

I have tons of stretch marks and the elasticity is gone. When I say my breasts were huge while breast feeding I mean each the size of a watermelon huge. It was nuts. *sigh* you're only one month out!!! You have to wait at least two months for the fluffing to even begin! Don't be so hard in yourself!!! :(

Wait a year! Then your depression will be gone, but I'm sure we all hope you don't get new ones....it's healthier this way; maybe a lift will help later on down the line....take care!

Would you like to loan me the money to have my 20+ year old (original), CC ruptured implants removed? Maybe Dr. Feng will give us a quantity discount! :-D
