I got implants 8 years ago, 390cc over the muscle, teardrop shape. I don't really know why I did it, I just wanted to have nice breasts. My first mistake was not researching anything about the procedure and went with the first ps I could get an appointment with. I didn't choose the size or shape, he told me what he thought and I trusted him. I went from a 12b to 12dd. I got cc in the right side pretty much straight away and everytime I would go back to ps he would say "Oh just give it another 6 months and see". After the second time of being told that I gave up. I felt so guilty especially since this had cost me almost $10,000. I never really told my husband I wasn't happy or in pain. However I did see another ps about replacement about 4 years ago but didn't go through with it.
A couple of months ago I stumbled across explanting on the internet, I had never thought about it before without replacing. Then all of a sudden it was like I was obsessed with it, I couldn't stop searching for other womens experiences. I talked to my husband about it and he said it was my decision and to do what would make me happy. So I made appointments with a ps. I have seen 4 before I finally found the one. The first one told me I had very little breast tissue and and would be left with breasts that look like puppy dog ears and I would have to roll them up to put them in a bra! Very blunt I know. Another ps refused to do it at all. Then the other 2 agreed to take them out, let me heal and see how everything goes, to either have a lift later or put a small implant in. They both said I would be very flat and deflated. I would prefer to be implant free though and I chose the ps I felt most comfortable with.
I have 5 days till surgery and I'm nervous, I want them out but I'm worried of the outcome. I have put some photos up, I just hope I'm strong enough to put the after photos up as the photos on here from other women have really helped with my decision.

Please take it easy! Lainey will have a go at me as I always say this and then I went and over did things and regretted it, but it's important to remember that you body needs to rest, heal and continue changing and your emotions will be all over the place! Try not to be too upset if you are unhappy about their appearance in the first few weeks as they will change. Check out everyone's photos on here and the more you do, the more you'll be reassured I'm sure.
Loads of healing vibes to you ML [RS bleep]
I am looking forward to seeing your updated photos when you have time. Rest up and take time to heal, it is too easy to forget we need time and end up over reaching for something and having a sharp reminder that our incisions are still not healed xx
Its been 9 days post op and I'm getting better...
