I want them out

Hello ladies, today is the day I finally want to start my journey to removing these implants..
I got them 2yrs ago when i was 30yrs old. January 18, 2018. They're silicone NATRELLE INSPIRA SoftTouch 325cc under muscle
I was very flat when i got them and was very excited to finally have boobs. They were always small but none existent after 4 babies all breastfeeding for at least 6 months.
I looked liked a teenage boy.
Once i got them I started regretting it from first day. I waited until they fluffed and they did and i still didn't like them, they were painful and hard for the first year and they are still hard maybe because I don't have any tissue there. My nipples are very sensitive and the bottom of my boobs is numb and its soo annoying. They're cold all the time.
I can't say there is something wrong with them or they're affecting my health although they might. I'm trying not to blame it but 6 months after getting them i got pregnant with baby 5 and she was born with neural tube defect (and all my other children are totally healthy)!
I recently noticed I'm more sensitive then i used to be. I'm constantly having chills like im having a fever, I don't know if this is related to implants but when i read about implant illness it says they cause inflammation so this might cause my chills.
We paid around 8000 for them and i feel so bad for paying around the same to remove them. My husband is on board he never even wanted them in the first place, he is ok to remove them as soon as im ready (i just finished breastfeeding 2 months ago and they want me to wait at least 3 months.
I liked having small boobs maybe not as small as i was but better them what i am now, i feel older and bulky with them, I haven't had a real bra since getting them because it makes them look bigger. I hate hugging people and especially my kids because they feel so fake and hard.
I'm just sick of them and should've listened to my husband when he was telling me I don't need them! He even now says i would rather touch your flat "boobs" then fake cold hard coconut looking boobs.
They look ok in tight clothes and swim suits but I hate them naked and i feel like they start to ripple at the bottom.

Why is it so expensive?
FlattykFebruary 3, 2020
So I called a few plastic surgeons to look at their prices for explant, and im so bummed, I paid $7,900to get them and i never thought it would be almost as much to remove them? The average price was 6,000 :(
I live in Vancouver WA, when i look at prices on this site I don’t see anything more then 2,000.
I don’t have options to travel to do the surgery.
I scheduled two consultations one for February 12 and one on April 1. And then I’ll decide who i will go whit. For the one in April they put me on cancellation list so i will expect to go sooner then that.

I'm in Ontario and it is also expensive. Around $7000+ with total capsule removal and $13,000+ with a lift too, in Canadian dollars. I think the $2000 you are seeing is for an in-office procedure with only local freezing and not removing any of the capsule. I saw reviews with $2000 price and that is what they got and I was also quoted $2000 if I only wanted that. Capsule removal and a lift requires going under general anaesthetic and take significantly longer time to perform. In the end I chose to remove the capsule and get a lift, but it was super expensive.

My explant with capsulectomy came to $5995. Naples FL. Surgery is in 2 weeks. Can't wait.

The price is about right. It’s less when there is no capsulectomy. I paid $7,500 and it’s worth every penny. I felt like you, hate the hardness and touch, but liked how it looked in clothes. I had my implants removed a month ago and I never thought I would be so happy with my flat, soft chest. I knew I was going to accept my results no matter what since I just want them out, but I’m very pleased with my breasts now. My husband also is thrilled since he loves the natural look! I wish you good luck in your surgery and I’m glad you make this brave decision! You will be very happy and trouble free! Kudos!

Consultation done, surgery scheduled
FlattykFebruary 14, 2020
So i just came from my consultation and I’m very happy how it went, he was very kind and didnt try to talk me out of an explanation.
I had a few questions and he answered them.
My questions were
- Do i need capsulectomy? No but he will remove parts of capsule
Will i have my implants back? (Weird question i know) No, but i will get to see them after
Local anastesia?- iv sedation aka twilight
Will i need drains? - yes for a week
Fat transfer how it works and how long it will last - he did not recommend it because it will be lumpy
Do i have bottoming out? -no. That’s good because it thought i look like i am.
Paid my deposit and got my pre op and surgery dates. Pre op February 28 and surgery March 10. Im happy it’s going so fast yet very anxious.
And this month they had a special- $700 off total will be 3,120

wow the price is amazing! Do you know why he said fat transfer would be lumpy? Wondering if he meant lumpy just for you or in general for anyone.
February 14, 2020
He said my husband will not like how lumpy they would feel, I don't know if this is because i have very little breast tissue.

I keep researching fat transfer to breasts and feel that if I ever choose this procedure I will look for someone that specializes in it. I do feel that it has its own complications, side effects, etc with the lipo sites, lumps, loss of retention, nerve damage from lipo , etc. I definitely will never put implants back though!! Wishing you the best and hope you can accept your natural self.

I was very anxious too, because I couldn’t wait anymore to get the implants out. Recovery is longer then when you get implants, but you need to be patient and follow directions for the best results! I’m 4 weeks post op and will return to work out with weights today! Slowly getting my normal routine back! Upper body exercise will take another month, but it’s alright! One day after the other! I decided not to have any more procedure and just be worry free!
February 16, 2020
Best of luck, you will feel great getting them out! I'm almost a month post op myself and very happy about my decision to explant!

They actually gave you a price? I was told they wouldn't be able to tell me until I had an exam. I am thinking of going to Dr. Allen Gabriel in Vancouver.

Hi , considering taking my implants out . I have them over the muscle . I’m reading people posting about draining tubes . Is this for under the muscle implants or above as well ?
