10 yrs ago I had saline under the muscle 280cc implants placed. I went from a small 36C to a small 36D, after two pregnancies I'm now a 40D! Yikes. Time to get these babies out. I've had chronic costochondritis (sternum pain) for the past two years and my Dr believes the implants are aggravating the condition. I'm having a simple removal under local without a lift. I'm freaking out a little because I'm worried about how I will look. My PS said I don't need a lift. I could use some advice and reassurance about the before and after. I will post a pic soon, I just need to photoshop out my tattoos, lol. I don't need any distinguishing features circulating the internet! Haha

who is doing the explant?? Looking for a PS and have been getting consults…no decision yet but need to….want them out in mid January…time is ticking away.

Dr Markmann in Ellicott City is doing them. I really like him and he's got great reviews. I saw some other PS's and they tried to talk me out of getting them out, which is crazy, and I felt like they weren't listening to my concerns. I'm super excited! 3.5 weeks!

My story is pretty much the same as yours. Size wise and everything. My dr said I might want a lift later in life and to see what they look like just removal before I decide on the lift

Thanks! I wouldn't do the lift even if it was needed because I'm not don't having kids and I want to still be able to breast feed. I had no problems with the implants, other than my boobs were HUGE when the milk came in! Haha. I'm excited and counting down, good riddance!

I had my pre op today

12 days! I'm crazy excited! I hope I'll be one of the ladies that loves my results but even if I don't, I'm soooo done with these things! I want my life back. First order of business once I'm healed: 90 minute massage laying on my stomach!

What a great attitude! I am 2 days post op and really happy with my decision. A massage sounds heavenly! I haven't been able to lay comfortably on my stomach in years.

Had my surgery today. Under local with no sedation or anything. It wasn't too bad other than my PS had to keep numbing me because he's so a little and is be able to feel just a bit. Not too bad though. I'm a little bummed, he had to drain the implants to get them our, otherwise I'd end up with a huge incision because he couldn't get them out otherwise. I'm hoping none of the toxic fluid ended up inside me.
I'm still numb now I'm sure but I'm feeling pretty good. I'm glad it's over, and I just want to heal now!

I had my drained as well to avoid a larger incision. With them being saline, why are you concerned with toxicity?
