I was doing my research 6 month to remove my implant. I had my first implant surgery 2009 with the lift. Size 325 saline and 2011 changed it 525 silicon. At first , (like everyone else) loved them. But last couple of years I felt they pushing my ribcage in I can't breath freely, I couldn't do my yoga poses, was uncomfortable sleeping in my tummy and I felt my overall health drastically declined and I didn't know the reason. I wanted my implants out. This site was a huge help to make my decision. I found Dr Pozner also on this site recomend by others. I had consultation with other doctors and they told me not to take out my implant bc I absolutely will not like the result. Dr Pozner was different, he said take it out first and wait 6 month if I don't like it I still can have a lift after but lots of women like it even without the lift. So I decided I will just taking them out bc anyway I had a lift in 2009 with my breast augmentation so I was hoping that would help not to be as saggy without the implant as well.
Dr Pozner toke my implant out with local anesthesia. The whole surgery toke 45 min. Felt just fine after I didn't even had to take my painkiller Med at all. Next day I went for the check up and they toke the wrap out and since then I wear sports bra. 2 days after the surgery I was already able to go out for New Year celebration. I was super happy from day one with my new original boobs. I feel excellent. Full of energy. The best decision in my life to take them out.

Can't believe you needed implants! Your natural are so perfect!!

Congratulations!!! I can't wait to lose my big ugly boobs! It's been almost 2 yrs for me and hated them right away. It's so good to see you after a lift with explant and how things look! I have a donut lift and have had a hard time finding many women who have explanted after that. Did you have a full lift? I am pretty positive I will need to have a one after explant- but most likely will wait a couple months and let them settle and retract. Weighing the risks and benefits of both. How do you feel about your areola scars now after explant? Did you have permanent sutures?

Yes I had a full lift with lollipop cut when they put my first implant in 2009. I know I was searching result too who had lift previously and taking their implant out. I could not find any. I was thinking the same like you " I am sure I need an other lift after the explant" . And funny but the reason I didn't do it bc I didn't have enough money that would be way more expensive and I would needed to go under general anesthesia as well which I didn't wanna really do. But I am super happy I didn't do it the breast amazingly adjust after surgery. Just one week passed for me and my boobs 2 times fuller then was right after the surgery. My areola scares are fine doesn't make any difference after surgery I feel my areola got smaller actually. Good luck for you, just take them out with without the lift . It's cheaper and recovery it's super fast and you will love them.

And by the way-you look much more beautiful without implants than with! You made a really good choice losing them! I can barely even sleep w lateral displacement and painful stretching, have given up working out completely for the first time in my life. I just want to be active and excited about life again!

Thank you for your sweet comment. Yes that was my best decision to take them out. Good luck for you too! You will love life without them! It's amazing. I am so much happier and even feel sexier.

Thank you so much for the encouraging words!!! Your story helps a lot and gives me hope! Feel free to check out my review and see my mess lol.

Congrats! Your results look great. I started as a C so I'm hoping to have a nice natural look as well when I explant but have been told by a doctor I won't like my results if I don't replace with another implant. Did you have a capsulectomy as well?
January 9, 2017
Yes I know doctors say that all the time. But just do it and you will see. With C size suppose to have plenty of breast tissue. My doctor said right after the surgery as well he was surprised I had more breast tissue then he expected. Good luck!!!! No I didn't have capsulectomy. I was debating a lot about it . And I didn't wanna do it bc that would be more complicated surgery with general anesthesia and hard to take out completely the capsule. And that is my own tissue so I figured it out I trust my body leave it there and can be dissolved over time . I never had any capsule problem anyway. So I was thinking I wait if I feel completely back to my healthy stage just with implant taking out I would not bother if not they can take it out later time as well. So far I feel amazing and super energetic.

That's how I got my second set of implants more or less, they gave em no option. I wouldn't trust a dr that doesn't give you options. I'd recommend to have an explant and wait for a year to heal well and then decide if you want another set of implants or a lift or none! Good luck with your decision!

Thanks for the reply. I have a "late persistent seroma" so the Dr has said I need the capsule out as well. Scared but know it will all work out and I'm definitely not getting replacements.
