it has been 10 years since i got my breast implants, i used to be 32 AA maybe even smaller because i did not really needed a bra at all. But i was at the time 24 years old and always felt very insecure about not having boobs, and it did not help that where im from i used to get bully by my cousins and friends always making jokes and embarrassed me since i was eleven years old all because of my small breast, i could not find bikini tops that fit me and when i was twenty four i look like i had 16 years old so i just want to look my age so in the end i got 350 cc saline mentor implants under the muscle. i did not regret it at first but if im honest to my self they always fell weird and painful i stop exercising because they always hurt and i feel uncomfortable. Now im 34 soon 35 im married and have two kids, breastfed both of them for twenty two months and now im ready to get rid of the implants i knew i want them gone at least for six years now but money and the pregnancies stop me for doing it before, i feel tired and constantly in pain my explant day is December 9 2013 , im exited and scared, my incision was made in the nipple i did not loose sensation and i hope i do not loose it this time either, will i look deformed? do my nipples will look weird how small would i be? im doing it with local anesthesia and im afraid i feel everything or i will have panic attack if im in pain.... anyone that has done it with local anesthesia please tell me your experience. and i don't know if im going to have drains on.

i will take some pics and upload them as soon i find my phone and keep writing after the procedure.

I'm having my saline implants removed under local in December, too. You mentioned that you're concerned about feeling pain under local. I've had dental surgery that required local anesthesia (root canals and wisdom teeth extraction) and felt no pain whatsoever. From what I've read, it's the same for cosmetic procedures. If you've ever had those kinds of dental surgeries, try to remember how that felt and it will probably be similar to that. I identify with what you wrote about feeling uncomfortable with them and not wanting to exercise as much as before. I've wanted them out for years, too, and am counting the days. I can't wait to be back to myself again. Thanks for sharing your story. Good luck on the 9th!

Hi I'm having my saline implants removed on 21st December too but I've opted for general as I'm too soft and would prefer to be asleep but I've read loads of reviews on here where women have had them removed with local and I've not read one story yet where anyone said they felt any pain. Good luck on 9th and keep us posted with your progress x

I will be thinking of you next week! It looks like you've already got some good support going here in this space. Please keep us updated. We're here for you! Here's what some doctors say about removing under the muscle implants with local anesthesia. You might want to ask your doctor about scar tissue removal and if he thinks you'll be needing that as well.

Thank you all for the support all of you ladies are an inspiration.
I talk to the nurse two days ago, and she was very nice and helpful, she anwser all of my questions and i feel more at ease. Picking up prescriptions tomorrow, got an sport bra and a Marena Surgical Bra with 1" Elastic just in case for after i get unwrap ;-)im thinking to talk to doctor to get the implant out by the bottom of the breast instead of the aureole just to not go by the breast tissue if he does not have to. I was one of the lucky ones that did not loose sensation, and i don't want to risk it plus im afraid of my nipple getting deformed.

Good decision on not risking loosing sensation! Its worth having a little scar to keep it!

Good luck! We have similar stories and implants. I hope all goes well, and I agree with your decision to remove them through the crease. It will be several months before I can get mine removed. Can't wait to see your results!
