Regrets depression possible implant removal

ORIGINAL POST

Regrets Depression Possible Implant Removal

XxKatieMayxx
I’m 24 years old. 5’3 and 114 pounds. A natural 32c. I got 350 moderate plus implants. They are massive on me.
I cry every single day since my augmentation.
I’ve considered downsizing but also am considering removal all together.
From other people’s experiences’s I want to know if you felt sexy after removal (I was never insecure about my natural boobs) or if you downsized and felt better about your augmentation. If I decide to downsize I would drop down to 200cc moderate implants.
My doctor says he thinks I have good skin that will retract nicely but honestly I have no idea what I want to do.
I use to swear I would never get implants but after entering a new relationship and moving to a new country I suddenly felt insecure about my boobs (I only wanted implants for 3 months) I was too insecure to back out of my surgery and ended up going through with it and immidetly regretted it and realized that my insecurities were all in my head and had I addressed this issues with my partner, we could have just talked it out, but instead I underwent a medical procedure that has destroyed my self confidence. I have never been so depressed in my life. I cry every single day. Every single day. And miss my natural body but don’t want to remove the implants all together and feel insecure.
I’ve never been a “big boob person” and I didn’t get this surgery at all for myself.
So Keeping my current implants is not an option.
Thoughts, opinions??
Should I downsize or remove?
I’m truely torn.

I am 54 years old....5” 3” 100 lbs. My implants had to be redone 3 times in a 1 1/2. I had my implants for 15 year to long. My regret is that I did not get them out when my right breast deflated in less than a year of getting them the first time. I love being natural again and my skin retracted very nicely considering my age but I always had nice skin and great elasticity. You can only do what is best for you.

I did not have a lift...I did not need one. Skin retracted and firmed up Nicely.

My opinion is that you should take them out before they damage your perfect natural breast. I'm so glad I removed mine.
December 3, 2018
Me too. I had mine out almost 10 months ago
December 5, 2018
YES!!!! 100% remove whilst you can I am not kidding those things are toxic ticking time bombs and your natural breasts are much much more beautiful you are very lucky!
December 6, 2018
Agree. Get them out and be done. You are perfect. Implants aren’t the answer.
December 3, 2018
Remove them. No questions. You are beautiful natural!
December 11, 2018
100%
December 3, 2018
Your natural breasts are perfect!! I recommend removal <3
December 5, 2018
100% agree
December 4, 2018
Thanks Y’all! I am definitely leaning that direction. I’m scared of the scarring and the differences after removal since I always really really loved my natural breasts. I don’t want to be disappointed :( but seeing all the beautiful women on here is definitely help pushing me in that direction!

Removing my implants today

XxKatieMayxx
This has been one of the most painful experiences of my life.
Today is the day I get rid of these things though and put the past behind me.
I know that this is just the beginning of the road to recovery but I am definitely ready to at least move forward at this point.
I am currently 3.5 months post op from my original breast augmentation.

Here are some last photos of the implants

I will be waiting at least 3 weeks to look at my breasts because of my perfectionist disorder. So I will post my post op photos then!
December 18, 2018
I made it out of surgery tho and am feeling physically better already. My doctor was super super optimistic. He told me I wasn’t going to be deformed and that I was making the right decision.
December 18, 2018
Pshyically and mentally better***
December 18, 2018
Hi Katie May!
I hope you are feeling better today. <3 You absolutely made the right decision. I bet you will bounce right back. Hang in there!
January 14, 2019
Definitely remove, you had perfect breasts no implant can replicate that. You re naturally lucky

32C is the perfect size. Why improve on perfection? Any larger and you may get a lot of unwanted attention.

Details on the surgery

XxKatieMayxx
So I now have really bad anxiety about surgery so prior to my surgery I cried the entire time and woke up out of my anesthesia and said to the nurses “I change my mind I don’t want to have this surgery” but it is like I was imagining going into my original breast augmentation (because that was my last thought before I fell asleep)
Since I’ve came home from surgery, I’ve been an emotional wreck. Continuously crying and getting upset with my partner...
Back to my surgery details, turns out that during my surgery, my surgeon realized that my implant had bottomed out.
So I had to get internal stitching to repair my natural fold.
I am making a follow up appointment for a couple of weeks from now.
My boobs aren’t wrinkled at the top,
I’ve taken small glances; they are definitely loose.
I’m pretty nervous at this stage because they look much smaller than before my breast Augmentation but I think this could be because of the loose skin.
My partner is helping me remain optimistic and reminding me that this is a time for healing and if for some reason I am upset about volume, I can start pounding the carbs down and do a fat transfer to my breasts lol
I’ve already called a dermatologist about laser treatments on the scars which I am going to start around 2 months post op!
I am physically in a lot of pain. And I feel like it is giving me flash backs of how I felt after my original breast augmentation.
I will take photos for you at my 2 week appointment! Until then I am trying not to look too much.
Hopefully I will be feeling better and more optimistic at my two week mark.
I’m still very very regretful about getting the implants to begin with.
I’m actually having to go back to the states for a bit to heal and be around friends and family because I feel like I keep taking out my regrets and resentments on my partner which I don’t think is fair to do to him :(
Our relationship was so amazing before this. He keeps saying it still is but I know it’s different :( I’m different and it sucks.
p.s. sorry for the negatives ladies. I’m hoping it starts to get a lot better.

Your breast will firm up but it will take a few months… Just be patient!

It will be a while until you see the results. Don't stress about the scars. Just love yourself and be good to your body and mind. You are feeling the emotional effects of the pain pills and surgery right now. It will get better. I promise, this too shall pass.

While you heal, would you consider acupuncture to help heal your breasts? I had my breast fat transfer surgery on 12/5/18. But for 2 or 3 weeks before the surgery I had acupuncture treatments to bring chi (blood flow) to the breast area. I think it helped. Next week I will begin twice a week treatments again to boost healing and tighten skin to decrease sagging. I am keeping track of my progress and I can keep yours posted on the progress if you're interested.

I’m starting to feel a lot better! They are looking better and better everyday. I’m going to post a picture soon! I was reading about acupuncture. It is definitely something I am interested in. Let me know how it goes for you!

I had my breast implants for almost 11 yrs. Lately I have been thinking of removing them. I checked for prices and to remove them cost twice when I got them. It was a bad decision for me too. And I will not recommend to anybody to get breast implants. Praying for your physical healing and emotional healing.
