I've had saline implants since 2007 and I want them out. They are under my muscle and doc went thru my nipples. I'm not sure why I ever got them done in the first place; had great boobs to start with! I never had any problems, but just don't want them anymore. They make me feel chubby and just kinda top heavy which I don't like. Just made an appt with original surgeon in Beverly Hills, curious to see how much he will charge. I'm excited about getting rid of them. They don't belong in me anymore! Turning 50 in May and for some reason just want to be me again. They really do attract the wrong kind of attention and invite rude questions. I'm over it! My consult is on tues march 4th. Will post some pics then. Good site, great info and insight. Thank u:)

Hi. Thank you for sharing your story. My consult for removal is on Tuesday March 4th too! I've only had mine for 3 1/2 years but I knew from day one I wanted to remove them. I want to book surgery for a week after my consult or even Friday. I asked if that was possible and they said yes they aren't too busy over there this time of year. Because I have a week off of school I wanted to take that week to heal. I am 29, two kids, and I want them out ASAP I just finally made up my mind that if I hadn't wanted them from day one just take them off soon so I can go on to my next chapter in life. Thank you so much again for sharing you story! We have same consult day we should keep in touch :) and we may even do our surgery at sane time frame???

**i know I won't fully heal in a week what I mean is enough to function and not be fresh out of surgery on meds.

I actually scheduled two additional consults. One tomorrow afternoon and another on Thursday. I wish I was having my surgery tomorrow! Absolutely can't wait to get these things out. The weird part is that I'm not exactly sure what triggered this decision, but now I'm obsessed! I'm super excited and not nervous at all. It's almost as if I'm taking my life back and regaining my self confidence. In a strange way, the implants took my confidence away! I didn't need them and now believe that unless a woman is terribly disfigured there is NO need for these stupid implants at all. Whoever invented these things I believe hate women. We are beautiful just the way god made us and I can't wait to get back to that.

I agree. I got them for who knows why reason. I was small but a 34B isn't bad at all. Now I'm a D. I didn't like the feeling from day one. I look in the mirror and I think they look ok but I've never liked the foreign feeling. I can't have my child lay on my chest without it being uncomfortable. I also can't do certain exercises, there's things I do that make my muscle contract daily and it just still feels weird 3 1/2 years later. I guess the sooner I get them out the better. I'm glad you found this site as well as I did. I just found it about 1 1/2 week ago or probably 2 weeks ago. It's awesome. We can relate to similar others and support each other.

First consult today!

Just had my first consult today with Dr. Edelson. I really liked him and everyone in his office. He took his time explaining everything to me and it looks like I can just have the implants removed with no real need for a lift. I'm thankful for that! He said I could remove them under a local, but that he recommended a general anesthesia just for my comfort. It would be a short, light anesthesia. I'm beyond excited and wish the surgery was tomorrow!

I'm glad your first consultation went so well! Are you having others or have you made your decision?

Explanation scheduled for March 31st!

So excited!!! It was an extremely difficult decision to make between the doctors that I consulted with, but now that I've made a decision I cannot wait to be myself again. Doc is going with under breast small incision (original incision was thru the nipple). No lift needed. I have a decent amount of breast tissue, so I am hopeful that I will look ok. But really even if I end up an A cup and sagging to my waist, I'm not going to care! I will be 50 in May and I've noticed a lot of women here are or will be turning fifty; maybe we have to grow up a little and mature to finally realize we are better off being ourselves.
