WORTH IT
I'm 57 and over my water balloons on my chest I call it (saline implants) and really have been for awhile now. I can't wait to feel natural and more healthy again. I'm 140 lbs I was a beautiful and sexy A cup then at 35 I got implants 325 and 350. Been in 22 years now. I'm looking for doctors near me to just get the ball rolling.
Hopefully I have more energy because that I noticed has alway been a problem once I got them. Among other problems I just lived with them thinking it was me getting older at 35? No I don't think so. Wish me luck! Blessings to you all!

I've had saline implants for 18 years. I wanted to remove the horrible things for the same reasons but my husband had a different opinion and I stupidly gave into his way. So had surgery last week to remove the saline implants and replaced with silicone. I'm not happy with my decision or my results at all.

Oh I'm so sorry my fiancé was surprised and loves some boobs! But when I started talking about it with him I told him I'm hopeful to have more energy and feel better that we still have a long way to go with enjoying our life together! Also if it's not the implants that I'm tired from I still will enjoy feeling natural I hate these fake boobs honesty! It's us in the end wearing them. I told him would you like wearing big silicone nuts or a big fake ( package ) for 20 years 24/7? Haha he might get that! Lol

I just had my 17 yr Saline implants removed 2 weeks ago. I'm looking to get breast fat transfer the 1st of the year after healing some. I am getting used to my small A cup. But it would be nice to fill out some. I was a 32 D before. Best of Luck with everything!

That's great yes I will also wait to find a good doctor tbat does that well. He said for m to wait 3 months to fluff then if I decide I can do a fat transfer. Best of luck to you to!

Sandra...Are you above or beneath the muscle. I have had saline over the muscle (actually was a tubal... through my navel... augmentation) about 25 years ago. The don't look so good now... just curious about your change as I do not want to go natural.

Mine was behind the muscle and they went through the nipples. I had him go through the nipples again for less scaring for my explant.

Hello my fellow explant friends! It was perfect! The staff took their time talking with me answering in questions bigoted going u set.. I did appreciate that to since it had been 22 years since putting them in! And they were good changes for me to. One I always wake up during surgery I hate that! Not this time though he said I wouldn’t and I didn’t. I have low tolerance to pain and it was better than before until I got home I needed the pain pill. But that was normal and time due for it My fiancé drove 1 hour an 45 minutes it did hurt the entire time they ended me to stay in a hotel but we didn’t. Maybe if you are able to sty it wouldn’t hurt to stay in stay in a hotel. I ate the crackers they gave an with my strawberries at home sure was happy to eat that! I’m really glad its over and very happy I got these bags out and lol over with it! It weird already feel lighter to lol! I will keep you guys posted! My follow up appointment is the next day I like that he’s making sure everything is going well.

Thank you for the information as I am awaiting explantation but waiting list of 3-31/2 months for the more urgent cases!!! Did you just explant or did they suggest a lift? Thank you :)

Hi yes I just had the explant no lift. No they didn't suggest me to have one. I didn't think I needed it and the Dr agreed but if later I want it I can get it. I still have a long way to heal first. I would much rather get a fat transfer if anything. Ask if you can get on their cancellation list thats what I did!
October 17, 2019
Ok thank you I just want to remove them for the moment as well! I'm hoping thats all I will need but implants 27yrs in from my 21st to 48th now and awaiting explantation in probably january 2020 so I will be 49 in décembre 2019!

How are you holding up and healing physically and emotionnally? Is it as scary and as bad as we can immagine before the procedure is done or are you happy confident and releived?

Honestly I'm so relieved it's over I took pain pills for the first 2 days after that I've been on Advil like 800-600 every 5-8 hours depending on how I feel. I'm not used to taking pain pills so when I did I was totally constipated very uncomfortable and still am. I have a low tolerance to pain so I knew I would need to take them though. The bra they gave me is not comfortable to wear but I know I need to wear it for compression for good results. I'm very happy to feel my real breast they are soft warm and bouncing like normal boobs should be! I remembered how my bags were cold sometimes and just weird all the way around lol. I know this will take time healing but I'm excited about getting my body healthy and in shape now before our next vacation. A new healthy me I guess. I feel so much lighter I really didn't expect that. Plus it makes you look more athletic I notice younger looking and I'm all for that!

Wow thank you so much for your imput and your replies! IT is not something easy to deal with alone and awaiting explantation is so nerve racking when you don't know what results to expect. I wish you the best recovery and most rewarding results to a beautiful healthy New you, and thanks again for taking the time to share your expérience! (◔‿◔)

First, I want to say YAY for you! Hope you’re still feeling great. Did you end up doing the fat transfer? I’m scheduled for my capsulectomy on January 7. I’m on the fence about the fat transfer, my doctor said I’ll lose about half of what he transfers. I’ll have to do several.

Hi there! And thank you so very much! Well I'm still in the healing phase and I still want to think about it. For me first I wanted to see what I was going to be left with before going through another procedure. So far so good. I know it would have to be a Dr that really knows how to do that procedure and has done it successfully for a long time. I did end up with more than I thought but like most of us without doing a lift you come out with dropped concave and saggy boobies. I didn't want one I wanted I wait heal and see. No regrets! I'm very happy!!! It gets better in time who knows how long because everyone is different.. I'm also taking herbs for a more natural way to go. They were helping I noticed but I had to stop it before my explant surgery lol
