Breast implant removal with fat transfer: I had my implants done 9 years ago.

8 months update

WORTH IT
It’s been some time so want to post my latest pics.
In terms of changes - happy with breasts, don't see any changes since 3 months. Belly post lipo - still bothers me but not to the extent I want to have a revision. Exilis didnt work for me so will check sometime next year what else I can try non invasive. Scars - healed nicely under my butt, breasts, but a bit visible on my back so might try fraxel eventually.
All in all very happy I’ve done it. Love the way I look and feel now.

Thanks for sharing your story. I plan to have my implants removed and appreciate the insight. Bummed that I can't get a consultation until April but I know the wait is worth it because the surgeon is highly recommended
Wishing you all the best! This site definitely helped me.
Thank you so much for your detailed review!! I am looking to do the same thing also. Your body looks very young. And you look amazing! I do worry about loose skin after liposuction. I am 49, so skin elasticity and ability to shrink isn't exactly great at that age. But I am also worried about toxins in implants and really want to get rid of them. Your review is really good detailed information, thank you for that !
How much this procedure cost please ? There is no pricing for this procedure on tye dr's website. Thanks alot.
Your results are fantastic, can I ask about your lipo sites, are they smooth? Especially legs and hips. Thanks
You look amazing!!! Im seriously considering getting my implants OUT

So no much changed I think since my last update at 2 months. I am happy with implants removal and the fat transfer (I am 32C or 34 B depending on a brand). I definitely feel more confident and sexy :) it’s a huge relief to be honest.
Lipo - stomach still has that small area that is slightly raised, not a massive problem though. I keep massaging it every day. I need to wait till my appointment in 2 weeks time with my PS to hear her opinion. Flanks - amazing, saddlebags and inner thighs - even shape, still massaging them from time to time. Scars - need more time and maybe laser on the back 2. Overall happy and feel very good :)

Thank you for sharing your experience .. how many cc of fat you put and was it one session or more?
No problem, 300cc each, one session
You look friggin’ awesome!
Thank you :) Still need to address some lipo questions - seeing my PS next week for my 3 months check up.
Thanks for sharing, I am also researching implant removal & Fat transfer,. Looking at early next year, found a surgeon in Newcastle how will do procedure under local, as I’m terrified of going under. Can I ask the think I read in the net that’s scarred me a little is the fat traveling and could be fatal. That’s really put me off, with the pain , lumps and all other thinks mind. My concern just removing implants I’ll end up with spaniels ears !! Are these the things the surgeon tells you? I’m so not looking forward to this .
Hi, do you mind sharing how much this cost as I want to do exactly the same thing.

Wanted to ads my latest pics. Doing well - no major changes other than stopped wearing my compression garnments. Still massaging my belly 2 times a day and putting scar cream 2 times a day plus silicone taping. So tired of this routine already, cant wait for all of it to finish. Stomack still feels hard underneath, some loose skin, same bump in the lower part and I think it’ll stay. My weight now is 50.6kg vs 52.8kg before surgery (1000cc lipoed after). Breasts definitely B, dont know if more will be lost. Still happy I did it, dont miss my implants at all!

Hello again:) you look amazing! Much improvement on the stomach.All this has really given me the courage to go ahead with this procedure.I just had my ALCL test come back negative and can’t wait to get my implants out .Thank you for not sugar coating it and pointing out that this is a long road but totally worth it
Thank you! Good luck and hope it’ll all go well! Patience is our best friend at the times like this :)
Hi there:) How are you doing? I just had a quote from a chap in London@£12600, so more or less the same the only difference is enblock-I’m really suffering with BII so will have to have it done.Plus side with him is much less travelling for me(I live in Kent).He said he can put in 300cc
That’s great news! I live in Kent as well, how funny :) I agree, travelling to London would be easier. Don't forget to book MLD massages before the procedure to start from day 1 or 2. I looked into it after all was done so was able to do it only on day 5.
Cost?
