Very Afraid - Bakersfield, CA

I went to my preop appointment and the surgeon said she would prefer I go under general anesthesia vs local as she thinks my left breast is a bit hard and she may need to do a capsulectomy which she said isn't advisable under local. So my surgery is still on and I am still excited however the fear of the way my breast will look afterwards has been overthrown by my sudden fear of general anesthesia. I am beginning to think I am a chicken lol. But really general anesthesia scares me. I did well the first time so I am sure my fears are unwarranted. I hope all of you are doing well in your journeys !

Thank you all for the encouragement it actually made me feel so much better. Pre op appointment is Friday so I will know more. I already know my implants will be removed under local, and the dr said she will leave the capsules in but score them so they adhere better. I'm very excited and feel more encouraged so thank you all. I am ready to have these out and be myself . The doctors have all told me my saline implants aren't to blame for my numerous health issues since I got them and maybe this is true but I don't feel its coincidence. After getting these I was diagnosed with hadhimotos and have suffered from unbearable fatigue. My memory is awful and I get lots of aches and pains. Prior to my implants I was healthy and active . Looking forward to getting them out and am inspired by all of you brave ladies who have gone before me and look great! And all the Braves ones yet to come who are terrified but going through with the procedure . ????

So I have made the decision to explant. I am 32 years old and have had my implants since 2007. I am getting them removed on October 27 and up until today have felt very confident in my decision. I have been under the impression I have between 325 and 350cc as that is all that was discussed With my surgeon. Since I have a upcoming surgery I decided I wanted to know my exact CCs 325 or 350. I call my surgeons office and am told 450 and 500 cc. Needless to say I am angry about this much larger size and my potential outcome after removal. I have seen lots of 375cc and under results but not many 500cc results. I am now stressed and fear the explanation. I am afraid my chest will be awful.
