45 Years Old, Breast Implant Removal with Local Anaesthetic, No Sedation - Birmingham, GB

ORIGINAL POST

WORTH IT$2,100
Had 285cc implants just over a year ago after losing a lot of weight. My 36B breasts looked empty and droopy. I wasn't happy as soon as I had the implants. Although they were a nice shape, they felt false and too big. I looked matronly in some of my clothes and was really conscious. I just hated the way the felt, really heavy. I decided to have them removed. I've just come home after having them removed under local anaesthetic, no sedation. It went absolutely fine. Apart from the slight pain from the local anaesthetic injections, it was relatively comfortable. It's like I haven't had an operation at all. My boobs look saggy and empty, but I knew what to expect after looking at many before and after photos on this site. I know they will get better over the coming months. I'll keep posting photos.

Hi, you are so brave, making a decision to explant and having the procedure under a local. Well done! I think your natural boobs suit your small athletic frame. It's early days post op for you and I'm sure they'll fluff up soon to your pre explant size especially as you've only had your implants for a year. Happy healing and thanks for sharing your story.x

Incisions feel a little sore, but other than that I feel normal. My boobs look weird and the skin is wrinkly and empty, but I'm really happy those awful implants are out.

We can be twins. Had mine removed 21 July. We look exactly the same.

Sounds like a plan. We can compare progress pics !!

Great news! I know the empty skin is a bit discouraging, but it is what it is... I have almost hollow hole type indentions on the outer upper side of my boobs. Looks pretty strange. And there isn't much else to them but I'm ok with it so far, I was a bit worried that I would freak out and want them back in just for my vanity and so that I feel attractive but something tells me how attractive I am is based on how attractive I feel about loving myself! And since this is the second time I've had a ruptured implant, I think I wwould do be crazy to put myself again. So I won't. :)
Keep us posted on your progress and best of luck with your healing!!

Thanks JW. I was also worried that I might regret having them out, but I've never been happier. I look and feel so much better in my clothes. Xx

That is awesome! So happy for you and no more worries about the silicone in your body and what it might do. I hope to feel like I look better in clothes soon. I think I need some padded bras but since I am stuck in this compression sports bra for a while, I may as well get used to my flat chest! I am happier with how it feels to touch them :)

Wow! You just inspired me. You did a local with no sedation that is amazingly brave. I am a big baby and so scared! LOL! I want to be knocked out and awakened when it's over. It should be fine though, most woman say it is. Did you have the capsules out?
You look fantastic! The skin will fluff out. If you look this great now you have nothing to worry about. Good job!

Thanks. Honestly, it was completely painless apart from the local anaesthetic injections. I didn't have the capsules out.

Congratulations! You made a fast a clever decision.
I did it one month ago, and I am very happy :)
I think your breasts are more beautiful without implants, you will have a good recovery, your skin seem to be very good!
My best wishes, good healing!!
