Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I want to give my honest opinion of how things look and also how I feel. Physically I feel so much better, can sleep on my stomach and the burning sensation is gone. I am relieved to have the implants out.
Since I had the implants in for 29 years and the skin got thin I ended up with the creases across both breasts, I hoped that would go away but it didn't. During the healing my left nipple got infected because of thin skin I think and after that healed it is gone. I really get sad about the way I look, I wish I would never have gotten the implants all those years ago. I don't mean to scare anyone off about doing explant surgery, because I saw so many of you have very nice looking results. I don't want to post pictures but I think I described it well enough and I did see that some other women had similar results.
My husband is so supportive and he said he is fine with how I look. He always worried the implants would make me sick, and now we know I won't ever get sick from them.

Day 9
Yesterday I got the drains out. I don’t have to wear sports bra for the reason of compression anymore. Remember I had very little breast tissue before implants so that could be why. My breasts are not pretty right now but in time they will look almost like before i got implants is what I’m told by PS. I go back for a 6 weeks check up. I’m doing well, it’s so great to have those things off my chest. I’m glad it’s Fall/Winter so I can wear layers as I get use to my new look. I’m shopping online for camisoles and bras with pockets for inserts in case I feel like I might need something like that.
In December I have to repeat an MRI on my spine. A calcified tumor was found on my T10 near my spinal column. 2 Drs don’t think this calcification came from implants but I do. Too much of a Coincidence don’t you think??? This isn’t only area calcification is being found. This was another reason I got my implants removed. I want to be as healthy as I can.

Day 4 since explant surgery
I use an ace bandage around waist area to safety pin drains to. Sports bra from Walmart brand Aviva size Large. Before explant bra size was 36C. I’m not brave enough to post a picture of my bare breasts yet. I think most women waited until things looked better. I’m hopeful I won’t have too much drooping which I’ve written about already.
