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.

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 . ????

Wow yeah I always wondered if my saline implants were impacting my health. I also have hashimotos and pretty bad fatigue, terrible eczema too. Since my explant 6 days ago I've lost almost 3 lbs, which I know only a little over 1 lb was from the implants themselves. I am hoping to shrink down to my pre implant weight over the next few weeks.

Best wishes to you .
I truly believe it's the implants because your body fights off anything foreign in the body .
To much of a coincidence that people with implants have the same thing. I was experiencing hair loss flu symptoms every now and then . No more systems now since I explained
I'm just glad I only had them in for a year. The feeling to have them out is great :)

PLEASE, don’t leave the capsule in, that’s where part of the illness comes from. I know you want them out yesterday like the rest of us, even if you have to pay more and wait a little longer before surgery, you will be glad you did.
Any Dr.saying they will just leave the capsule in is probable not board certified and doesn’t want to take the extra care and precautions to remove the capsule.
If nothing else, be your own advocate and do tons of research on the effects of leaving the capsule in. You owe it to yourself after everything you’ve been through.
God bless

Preop appointment

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 !

I am scheduled for explant in 2 weeks. And I'm scared of all the same things as you. I don't think you're being a chicken, I think it's normal. Good luck, I wish you the best. Keep us updated!

I was worried about general anesthesia at first, too. But then I realized I was in good health and thought of all the other women who had gone under and had come back to write about their surgeries! :D It was reported that I woke up from surgery smiling...maybe in my mind I realized I had survived! haha Best of luck to you ~ you will be fine!!
