Explant Scheduled - I had saline 365 cc and 385 cc, under the muscle

I found Dr. Boswell here on RealSelf and reached out requesting a consultation. He called me that same morning and got me in to the office for a consultation. I expressed my desire to have my saline implants removed under local if possible. He examined my breast and said he could remove them in office under local.
The moment I got the lift and implants six years ago I knew I had made a huge mistake. I think I would've been happy with the lift; the implants never felt right and were uncomfortable. I wasn't able to swim because the implant was under the muscle and I lost a lot of upper body strength. It affected my ability to take a deep breath and to sleep well. I've spent the last six years trying to hide my breast due to their size. When I initially got them I had not intended to let anyone know, but they were so big I felt like everyone knew. I've been beating myself up for this wrong move for 6 years. I'm ready to get back to my real self.
Dr Boswell was kind and did not try to talk me into a lift. Jamie who is part of his support staff was very kind and thorough and showed me images of explants Dr. Boswell had performed without a lift. Every single image that I saw the breast looked better than with the implants. Shout out to all those ladies who allowed their pictures to be used because you have helped me. I do not have high expectations of how my breast will look post explant but I am hopeful that in time they will come around.
My explant date is December 17th! I'm incredibly grateful to have them out by my 50th birthday. What a beautiful gift to myself.
More to come!

Bye bye huge boobs. I wish I could say you had been good friends but alas we part ways. Extremely excited, and a little bit nervous and looking forward to this all being over. I’m so grateful to the woman who posted about having her explant done under local anesthesia on TicTok. if it wasn’t for her, this would not be happening today because it probably would’ve taken me three years to be able to afford the surgery under general anesthesia. Plus I did not want to go under again so again very grateful to her.

The procedure itself lasted approximately 45 minutes and was an absolute breeze. The only discomfort I felt was the initial shot to numb my breast and it wasn’t painful at all. In fact, a dental shot hurts far more. As soon as the first saline implant came out I could immediately breathe deeper. When he took the second one out, I took the deepest breath I’ve taken in six long years. It felt so good when they came out. They added an additional 2 pounds to carry. I wish I wold have explanted sooner but I didn’t know removing under local was a possibility. Dr Boswell did me excellent job. No drains or stitches to remove. I took the pain killers after the procedure but after a good night’s sleep I feel great and will move to Tylenol. Dr Boswell’s support staff is absolutely awesome. Thank you Jamie For holding my hand and comforting me during the procedure. Dr Boswell is lucky to have you.
I highly recommend Dr Boswell and could not be happier. I keep looking in the mirror in disbelief. ???? Thank you for giving my confidence back Dr. Boswell.
