Decided to re implant
So I had my second consultation and felt very comfortable with this doctor. He was thorough and really went over all the risks and facts out there about the implants. I just can't accept the reality that my skin and nipple on top of my rib cage sagging would be all I am left with. I wish I could go back to 23 and tell that woman how you will mature and make the decision later in life. But I can't so I will make my decision today based on what I know. I know I have always felt confident and happy with implants. So why change that now? I was faced with making this decision at at point in my life I was not really to make it and bc my implant ruptured I have to fix it. So I will just get new ones and stay as is. As I write this I feel like I have to convenes myself but if my decision was to explant I would have been just as unsure. The good thing is I can always explant in the future if I decide. I just feel crazy thinking about new boobs with 2 young kids that need me at home. But taking them out just bc I am not sure isn't the answer either for me. This is really a journey and I hope the doctor can make a scheduling adjustment and get me in next week. I can't stand thinking about this for another 6 weeks. (Which would be my implant date if I can't get in this week.
1st consult today
I had my first consult today and feel just as confused as I did before. I can't shake this feeling that new implants doesn't align with my beliefs of avoiding chemicals and all that, but at same time the doctor confirmed that I really don't have any breast tissue of my own and I should expect saving rippling and pretty much just skin having off my chest. This is obviously pushing me back towards reimplanting. I don't want to regret this decision and hate my body. I have enjoyed my implants till now and have always felt the looked great and made me super confident. Really needing to do much soul searching. I should also mention that everyone around me thinks I am making a mistake taking them out completely. I will add photos as soon as I can have husband take them. (I have been avoiding looking at them). Feeling pretty confused and sad.
I have another consult tomorrow but I am expecting the same kind of results. I wish so badly that I just wanted new implants. It would make me feel so much more secure in my journey. But every time I think I feel confident in one way or another I completely panic. Sure wish I had know all this when I was 23.

I'm a 34 yo mother of 2 gorgeous girls (5 and 1.5)...
I'm a 34 yo mother of 2 gorgeous girls (5 and 1.5) I had saline implants under the muscle put in at 23 yo and had a wonderful experience. My breasts have looked wonderful for 11 years and I couldn't have been more happy with them. After my pregnancies and nursing for combined 2 years I noticed all my natural volume evaporated and I was left with just an implant under the skin that looked very rippled. This did not bother me much bc you couldn't really see it even in a bathing suit. I don't dress in a way that shows cleavage often unless I'm in a bathing suit or maybe a special event and I wear a fancy dress.
After having my kids my anxiety has gone through the roof and this has contributed to my putting off seeing a PS about my implants and start thinking about my next move since they are over 10 yo. Bc I feel conflicted about making a decision.
Then this week one of my implants ruptured during a workout. Coincidently this happened a few days after my best friend got her implants that look amazing. So here I am with one deflated breast and headed out to an Aruba Vacation and having to make a decision on what to do next. A decision I am not feeling mentally ready to make. This is causing me a huge amount of stress.
I am seeing 2 different PS this week to get some opinions and evaluate my options, but ultimately I feel that the decision to explant or replace has to entirely be mine and based on what I truly want.
I wish I wanted to just replace them. This would be the easiest decision for me. But I can't help but be nervous about the future and where I will be in my life next time I need to undergo this surgery. At 23 yo I was single and didn't have kids to worry about and I wanted implants for so long just felt like I would figure it out when it was time. Well, it's time, and it sucks.
I know if I remove them and don't replace I will miss them terribly. I'm afraid that my decision now will be based on being an anxious mommy in the thick of it and not really feeling myself. Or is this the new me and my anxieties are real gut feelings?? Having a tough time trusting my gut bc I have always loved my implants, but all this anxiety about future surgeries or complications is really hindering me.
I have read so many powerful experiences on this site of strong women who made the race choice to explant and many have been glad. But I find myself never having had any issues or pain or regrets about getting them, so now wanting to take them out is a totally different thought process and I am struggling with trusting my gut.
Feeling really conflicted and am so eager to hear what the docs say. I would love to hear anyone's experience who has been through this and either had decided to explant or replace.
I am so grateful for this site because it's the only place I feel like I might be understood.
It feels like everyone around me is talking about how much they hate their small or saggy chest and wishes they could get boobs, and here I am being this anxious worry wart wanting to take them out. So conflicted. So here my journey begins, and I will post updates once I see the docs this week.
