9 Yr Old Breast Implants Removed

WORTH IT$2,950
I just had my explant surgery yesterday and even though I won't know the final results I feel very relieved already. I started breast augmentation when I was only 19 years old. I later opted for a smaller size in 2011, so the implants Dr. Tyrone removed are 9 years old (I'm 33 now).
This year I decided to remove them completely because I just want to look natural again!
Dr. Tyrone made sure I was aware of the possible results, and took care to remove the implants through an incision under my nipple to reduce further scarring, since both my implant surgeries had been conducted through the nipple.

Thank you! No, I didn't have that done just the implants were removed through incisions beneath my breasts. I have been feeling great! The recovery is much faster than having them put in lol!

How did they look before? Could u possibly add a photo as im thinkinf of removing aswell

I was also wondering if you had the capsule removed. Your cost seems way too low for it to have been a capsulectomy. I was quoted $7800 for En Bloc.

I didn't have a capsulectomy, my doctor said I would not need it. I asked for the staff to take a photo of the implants after they were removed (see my first post) and there was nothing else taken out during my procedure.

I feel relieved to have the implants out. The only side effect I feel right now is a really bad headache which I suspect is caused by the generic percocet I was given by my pharmacy for the pain. I did not have to have drains attached, so healing should be pretty simple. My left boob is a little deformed, but I am 100% certain that this is due to the work of the doctor who placed the implants.

You look great! I had my surgery on Friday and look pretty odd. I'm also starting to bruise under the incision site.

How are you doing now? I hope feeling better!

At least you look good. I was left with craters in my chest. In fact huge dents with a lump of muscle in the armpit. Very deformed chest. Quite traumatic to say the least.

I'm so sorry that happened! What did your doctor say about that?
December 19, 2019
The doctor who removed them was horrified and waited for me in ICUto come round to explain to me and tell me he was going to report it.

You look fantastic!

Thank you so much!

Why did you u remove them?
December 12, 2019
More people are explanting then implanting due to ALCL risk and breast implant illness which is being reported more widely.

Glad you are doing well and you are happy except for the headache, keep us posted.

Stitches Removed (Two week post-surgery update)

Member7254
Three days ago, I returned to my doctor's office to have the stitches taken out (they were underneath the breasts). It didn't hurt at all to have them removed. The assistant recommended a scar gel to me called Silagen. I think it is working well. If you look at the close up photo, it might seem like the scars are dark but when I'm standing up normally, they really don't show so it doesn't bother me.
I am feeling great about my results, I was a little worried at first about my left boob, but its looking a lot better already. I really like the way I look now! Also, I have not been having issues with my neck. I've had chronic neck pain for years, and removing the implants seems to have rapidly improved that problem!

You look wonderful! Sincerely, you have beautiful perky breasts. Isn't it just amazing how tissue bounces back (most of the time)? Enjoy the freedom from pain, which I also had for many years.

Congratulations. You look great. I get my implants out in 9 days and wondering how much tissue I will have left. Are you a similar size to what you were pre implant? Do you mind sharing your cup size now?
