The Next Stage of Life at 37- Explant and recovery

I am currently a 38 D, exactly what I asked for 8 years ago. Sub Muscular, smooth, round, high profile Mentors filled to 480cc saline. I was a 40AA before the procedure due to three babies and long term pumping for each one as my nipples were flat and wouldn't detach. My PS told me I wasn't a AA even though I wouldn't fit into a B cup on a 40 band, which is what he said I was. Try finding a 40AA bra. I was in an abusive relationship and felt horrid about how I looked. I was also about 30lb over weight. Anyway, being practical, I also knew I would have to replace my implants in 8-10 years. I figured that gave me a while to save up for the second surgery. I love my breasts. They are very natural looking and fit my curvy shape well. However, I am moving on in my life, divorced again and I don't need a nice rack to give me self worth anymore. In fact I kinda like the idea of my next husband liking my small soft breasts, after he falls in love with me for who I am! I have also gotten very much into a healthy lifestyle and it has begun to bother me that I have silicone in my body. I suspect some joint stiffness and stinging pains in my armpits to be related. Also, my family has a significant history of cancer, not breast cancer but lots of other cancers and I just don't want to tempt fate any more. I have lost weight and am starting to look disproportionate the other way now!
All these things considered I have just decided to have them removed and see what happens. If I don't have any tissue left at all then I will save up and get a fat transfer and a TT at the same time. This will give my breasts time to heal up and detox any issues from the silicone out of my system.
I have bee inspired by all of you ladies on here. Thank you for sharing your stories.
I have to reschedule a consult with Dr. Karaca, whom I found on this site. Thank you for the information and recommendation.

Here are some pics of my pre BA breasts.

Consult completed $1400 in office local on Thursday January 22nd 2015. I made my appointment but I had to sit down and think about why I was doing this. The Dr. told me there were no issues with them and they could stay in forever and be fine. I don't have any problems with my implants, that I know of. There are things that may be connected to them like back pain, borderline autoimmune problems, inability to lay on my stomach etc... I really had to decide if my nice shape was what was important or if I was done with the need for physical affirmation from others. I found that I am now at a place in my life and heart where I want to be who I was made to be and I don't want or need the type of attention I was seeking when I had them placed 8.5 years ago. I have found peace in my God and acceptance of who I am. Now I am loved by a very supportive man who I dated 16 years ago and who has come back into my life. He loves me for me and is supporting getting them out, even though he will never get to see them or play with them. I know I am making the right decision. It was a great ride but I'm done now.
