Breast Implant Removal and Lift

WORTH IT
After 3 years thinking about wether doing implants exchange or just explant, finally decided to have my 15 years old silicone implants remove and get a lift. I'm 40 years old mother of three kids, Breastfeeding all my children. I was 34 B before BA, now I'm 36 C/D depends on the brand. I wish to have perky boobs with smaller aerolas. Realself community very helpful for me I'm reading about breast implants removal and lift reviews almost everyday. Counting the days now I'm so nervous. I can't believe it's happening this week! Wish me luck.

I'm 5'2" petite, size 36C/D. I want to have a nice pair of small and perky boobs just like my wish pictures. Keep wondering what will they look after surgery. Hopefully I still have breast tissue so they're not gonna be flat. I was 34 B before BA 15 years ago. I'm super anxious.

You will be fine and I think you are being realistic...i just had mine removed and i also was a 34B a few decades ago... I'm hoping I will at least be that once everything heals...i had a lift and a little fat grafting... all the best! Keep us posted on your progress

Quick update before fall asleep
I will post pictures later :)
Surgery went well no draining tube just bandage and surgical bra. Thank you God and thank you my family and Realself friends for support and prayers I'm relieved. Thank you my doctor, anesthesiologist and nurses there are very nice! Can't believe it's happened so fast. Pain is manageable just little nausea from anesthesia, my throat was dry but now is better after drink plenty of water, and milk tea (my favorite)

My Recovery things:

Neck pillow, Two extra firm pillows (king size left n right or body pillows) to prevent sleeping on the side because I'm a side sleeper,
Pillows for my legs (basically I'm drowning in pillow just like big boppy pillow for pregnancy)
open front pajamas (bigger my size is L but now I'm wearing XL and it's super comfortable) zzz I'm sleepy now
Remote tv, phone, Water, crackers and pain medication on the side (reachable)
