Breast Implant Removal w/ Capsulectomy, No Lift

Looking into Removing Implants
WORTH IT$4,998
I've been looking into removing my implants for a few years now. I'm 41 with submuscular 397cc silicone implants. I've had them for more than 12 years and they may be the culprit of some health problems, disc herniation and joint stiffness. I've been afraid to do yoga for a couple years now, fearing I will throw out my back. I miss being able to sleep on my stomach and lately I can't sleep on my back without causing bad back pain. Not that I'm a crazy about push-ups, but I also miss being able to engage my pex muscles without feeling like my boobs are going to explode LOL! I'm not as physically active as I used to be and hope that letting go of these foreign objects will improve that. I also get sharp pains under my breasts from what feels like trapped air or something. I worry about rupture, the accumulation of scar tissue, loss of breast tissue and possible capsular contraction. I had one consultation in Sept 2019 but waiting to save up the money. That doctor said she didn't use drains...kinda thought that was odd. I think I would like to go without a lift and without a fat transfer, as I want to avoid the extra expense. Hoping to schedule for June/July 2020. Although I may have to wait longer due to Coronavirus.

Booked Implant Removal No Lift
I've booked my surgery to remove my implants & all the scar tissue - total capsulectomy. They are submuscular silicone 397cc. I had a great consult with Dr. Stanley Harper at SHarper Image in Avon, IN. I would rather not get a lift if I don't have to - less cutting and stitching. After making some measurements, Dr. Harper is confident I will be okay without a lift. There will be some sag, especially the first 6 months, but there is hope they will look normal over time. I've included photos of what I looked like before the implants 13 years ago. And some recent photos taken a couple weeks ago.

Did you have the capsules removed xx

They look so much better without the implants. You have beautiful natural breasts. Good for you having them removed. We all bought into a lie, now we know better.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words...so true how we bought into a lie...having them removed tomorrow! Yay!

They don't have the round shape anymore (more oblong) like their being pushed upward. Are you experiencing CC or something?
September 28, 2020
Nearly experiencing CC, especial on the right breast...feels a bit hard in some areas and uncomfortable...no real pain...However, Dr. Jeffrey Wagner says I'm "stage/tier 3" with the amount of scar tissue/capsules on the right one...will be so grateful to get the implants and scar tissue out!

Surgery cancelled minutes before starting
I was supposed to have my implants and capsules removed at 9am this morning at Capitol Street Surgery Center in Indianapolis. Surgery was supposed to be performed by Dr. Stanley Harper of SHarper Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. It was cancelled at about 8:45am...about 15 minutes before the start time.
I had an IV stuck in my hand, surgical incision lines drawn and had already taken pre-op meds when they told me they had to cancel. ODT 8 MG TAB AURO and 300mg of Gabapentin.
