Saline Implants out After 14 Years- Feb 9

I had mine removed recently after 15 years and are thrilled with how much better they look. I was 20 pounds skinnier when I got them and am a normal weight now, so I grew real ones and didn't even realize it. Instead of being stick thin and having to buy fake ones, just be a healthly weight and grow your own.

Thanks so much for sharing and posting photos. I've seen so many over the last few years of women who had their implants removed but everyone had natural breast tissue to begin with. Not me. I was an A cup and went to a D cup then to a C cup (over the course of 20 years). I have been told over and over again that I am going to be very unhappy with the results if I have them removed. But I'm not the insecure girl I once was. Boobs have been fun but I'm ready to live my life without them (and being that I got them when I was 20 I think I'm ready!).

I think you look beautiful! I am curious as to how you are doing now though. Have they filled in at all? Would you mind posting pics (I feel kinda awkward asking, sorry)?

I just posted a review because I recently had my saline implants drained and I'm going in a few months for removal of the shells. Yours look allot like mine! Have they changed shape or filled in on top? Here is the link to my review with pictures. http://www.realself.com/review/breast-implant-removal-saline-breast-implants-deflated-mistake-decision

Hi goingnaturalagain,
I need to post some updated pics. Mine are improving the last month and while they are not perfect I love my new look. Mine are still flat profile...no real filling in on top. But the skin is better..wrinkles have filled in etc. I knew I didnt want anymore implants and so they removed under breast. All is great. Good luck to you!!!

Glad to hear all went well for you. I've realised reading all the comments on this forum that even though we worry about what we're going to look like afterwards, the relief we feel once they're out overrides that concern. I'm happy and that's the most important thing. Hope you go from strength to strength and continue recovering well

Your after pictures look so much better. What a relief it is to get those foreign objects out of our bodies. Congrats to you. I don't have drains, so I'm thinking mine may settle down, which is fine. Nothing a pretty bra can't handle. For now, keep them snugly wrapped to promote healing. Any other tips out there?

Allnatural, I can only suggest rest, rest, and more rest. I had 6 days off work for my explant and did as little as possible. When I was feeling better it was often easy to think I was invincible, but I managed to take it easy. I didn't let loose until my surgeon released me back to full activity. I'm grateful now, I had a very easy recovery.

Just wanted to let you know that I too had my implants removed years ago (in 1996) after 13yrs with implants. For a few months my breast were pretty soft and squishy, but they have firmed up to where they don't look bad at all. Not perky like years ago, but I can live with them just fine! I'm still very happy they were removed. Good luck to you.

Glad it went well. Please keep updating. I asked my Dr to use local, but for some reason she declined? I'm scheduled for early this afternoon.

I think they look perfectly fine to my eyes, they are meant to be little deflated in the beginning but in my opinion they still look better natural than before.

You definitely look much better than before!

Hi! You made exactly the right choice and you look much much better! You'll be amazed how quickly they fill out. Rest well and look after your body! x

Congratulations it's a big desicion but good for you! Lots of pics on here seem to look fine and the women say it gets better our bodies are amazing at healing hope you have a good recovery E
