54 years old, almost 30 year old silicone implants. Past time to come out.

The week after I got back from my honeymoon in October 1988 I had my implants put in. I was flat as a board as my older brother used to say. All I know about them is that they are 190 cc silicone Meme brand. I didn’t want giant breasts jut normal and my PS listened to me.
After all that yearning to have breasts, I did my best to hide them ever since. Go figure.
The only people who knew I had them done was my husband and my sister. Now both my daughters know too.
I haven’t really had much issues with them that I know of. Who knows, maybe my random dizziness I get is something from them? Maybe the pain in my feet when I first stand up and hobble like an 80 year old is from them?
All I know is that it is past time to get them out, and I don’t want any put back in to have to worry about. No future surgeries.
I am opting to not do a lift, I just want the quicker recovery with minimal scars, so maybe they will look horrid and I will need a future surgery, a lift, we’ll see. But my PS (who isn’t the same one who put them in) said he has a lot of women who are quite pleased with their results and how their skin retracts.
He also is doing a capsulectomy.
I’ve read so many reviews on here, and I think so far I’ve only seen one case where I would think, oh no this is bad.
My husband is in full agreement with me to have them removed, so that makes it easier.
To me they look a little cow-ish now and I will walk by a mirror and think, cripes I look matronly. I don’t know what cup size I am, I think a C, I’ve only worn sports bras for years because they make my breasts look smaller in clothes. I was much much lighter when I had it done and have put on weight over the years, maybe that will help with my end result.
I’ve already had my pre-op appointment on Thursday. I have a patch for behind my ear since I am prone to motion sickness and I guess people who are, are more likely to be sick from the anesthesia. Also I have Celebrex to take the day before, the day of and the day after for swelling and pain. I have not filled my prescription for the Oxycodone yet, I will do that this week, although I really hope Tylenol will be all I need. Also need to get some vitamin C.
That’s my story so far, I will keep this updated as reading all your reviews have helped me so much in my decision to do this.

Don’t ever tell a Libra pick your own bra out for after surgery. Very frustrating.

I’m trying my best to not be nervous about tomorrow. If I let the anxiety get out of control I won’t be able to reign it in.
Got the laundry caught up, made chicken noodle soup with bone broth and some green salads for lunches.
