I got saline above muscle in 2003. Severe capsule contraction on left breast. Had capsulectamy done with replacement in 2003 or 2004. Silicone, textured above muscle. Left more drooping right one developed a crease and I went back to fix it. He put the bottom half in some sor t of pocket to prevent creasing or bottoming out. I was a 34aa to start. We at a 34b now. Feel like they're bigger although really no weight gain maybe 2 to 5 lbs. 5 feet 110 lbs. Perimenopause. Surgery scheduled for Wednesday. Feeling like I'm on an emotional roller coaster. Really afraid to look deformed and feel unattractive. Although these do not feel attractive at all! Very heavy and uncomfortable.

Day of treatment
They're out!

Had my surgery today. It went really well. I've taken a few peeks at them. In a compression bra. Drains. Haven't taken any painkillers besides Tylenol since I got home. Drain sites are most uncomfortable part so far. A little soreness at incision but only on left. Only drainage from left one as well but not much. None in past 6 hrs. I'd like to get these out asap. I'm hoping to convince them to do it Friday if it continues to stay empty. Otherwise scheduled for next Wed! Well, I'm happy that I made this choice. I'll post pics when I'm brave enough to expose these poor little boobies. So smooshed under there...

I got mine yesterday too. I am 61 and had them for 12 years. Saline 295cc but they were a D cup on me. I felt they were chunky looking and I was tired of carrying them around. I have a small frame. My doctor did it in the office and I did well. He does not use drains. I thought it strange that he didn't recommend compression either. So, I'm wondering what happens next?? Poor boobies are all deflated and sagging. I went to try on bras and got so frustrated. I keep reading about them fluffing up. I'm could use some fluff that's for sure. No regrets.....did the implants look better,.....yes....do I feel better without them ....yes.

that is good news. I felt the same; matronly look. I am 64+ had them in 35+ and ruptured 20 years ago. the one side the implant moving up toward the chin and couldn't wear a bra. Had surgery last week today. Also had a gallbladder removed too. Sore, black n blue but doing great and so glad they are gone.

It is a shock to see the little flat wrinkled boobies. Just remember how bad the implants felt. Its a process that does not happen over night, especially when like me, you had them a long time. My implants were very natural looking to the point the doctor didn't want to remove them. But I felt them were making me look matronly...like you said. I hope you do well. Take care and me happy with your natural self!

Day 2 Compression bra and drains
mshea68February 11, 2016
Dr. said drains have to remain. Just his policy. Did others keep padding under bra? If so, for how long? Still not ready to expose them.

I didn't have drains. and no compression bra; I have breast that look like they did when I first walked into the doctors office 35+ years. No soreness. healing incision look wonderful. If later after a year maybe I might take off some more like a "lollipop". Wait and see how bras go.

Mine are smooshed in the bra. Dr said to keep it on though 27/7. No fluffing taking olace with this on. Very flat but I'm happy. Still sore from drains.
