WORTH IT$300

I am 24 years old 5'5" and at pre op i was a 34A, post op 397 sillicone mods. I had little breast tissue to begin with but decided to get implants. It was only November when i decided and not more than 3 months had gone by before i decided to have them removed. I thought i would be happy and that weird feeling of something wrong would pass, i just didnt feel like myself. Staring in the mirror i was just not myself i had these perky, perfect breasts, something i always wanted (or thought) and i hated myself. I took the next step called my PS and it was set! Under local anestesia i had them removed within 45 min they were gone! I have never been so happy and excited to see my small little cute boobs again. I cant get the money back but it was well worth the lesson. I had been stretched pretty bad but only a couple close to unnoticeable stretch marks. I had my old crease scars removed and am waiting to see my PS to take off the small bandages. No need for stich removal all dissolvable. My PS is wonderful and i would recommend him to anybody, very gentle and understanding! I am happy and blessed that this was a mistake i could change

Hi HappySmall. I'm glad everything went well for you and you were able to do this early on. It's such a good feeling to be grateful for what we have. Just a shame that it takes such a drastic measure and so much money to realise we can be happy with ourselves just as we are. All the best for your continuing recovery. x

Thank you for sharing. I made an appointment and will be seeing your Dr. on Friday. The cost won't be the same but Dr. Weil is the most reasonable in the area as far as I can tell. I just want them out after ten years. Again, thank you so much for sharing. I will try to share my progress here if I can, I am having trouble signing in here.

Hi there. I'm considering Dr. Weil as well and am wondering if you could tell me about your experience with him. Are you happy with your results? Any before and after photos from either of you ladies? Thanks so much!

Glad you had the realisation that you could be happy just the way u are I hope mine go back to pretty much what I had before. It's been 6 yrs but I have not had kids or lost/gained a lot of weight so my fingers r crossed and thank goodness I did not get big implants! Thanks for sharing ur progress... Congratulations!! E

Thank you again Happysmall, I am having my implants out tomorrow by Dr. Weil. I will post before and after pictures soon. My breast appear to be in great shape so he will do the explantation with a local anesthesia shot and oral medication for pain/nerves. He will cut the implant to drain the saline enabling removal through a small incision under the breasts natural fold. I am nervous and worried about infection and contaminates in the saline and implant as the en-bloc procedure will not be performed. I will be using antibiotics and pain medications. My general Dr. has agreed to monitor my follow-up care. I will also follow holistic methods to detox my body of known implant contaminates, which I will be happy to share as well. Wish me luck!
