Tiny Tits.

Hi
I have been considering getting my implants removed but am terrified of what my real breasts might look after the surgery. I'm afraid they will be saggy, flat and less desirable than beforehand, so I hoping to find some reassurance. I welcome feedback and post op stories of other women who have undergone explantation - good and bad.
I got implants when I was 18; I battled extreme self consciousness, anorexia and depression and had a pre op size of AA. They have served me exceptionally well and I have never regretted getting them, however being almost 25 I don't feel I need silicon inside my body to make me happy anymore. I have also been experiencing some discomfort in the right hand one in particular, and they have been giving me a lot of grief whilst exercising. I have naturally put on weight since my surgery - about 5 kilos/10pounds and assume they may have increased slightly in size.

Please anyone feel free to share your experience. And would you recommend this surgery?

Hi everyone
I have an explant date booked for 15th January! The procedure with be done in a theatre with local anaesthetic and sedation. Has anyone had the procedure, or perhaps others, done this way? I'm still not 100% sure how sedation works, as i've always just gone under general. Will I be asleep, or awake but in a very sleepy state? Will I be aware of what's going on?

I feel good about everything though, and at peace with my decision. I have finally found a doctor who hasn't made me feel like I will hate my appearance after explant. She didn't even try and talk me out of it :) And I was surprised to hear her say that I may have more breast tissue than I think - she pulled it away from the implant and had a look. When I got them in I was barely an AA, but she thinks i'm a full A or possibly a B. I'm preparing for the A though as I don't want to get my hopes up.

Being on hear and reading other ladies' reviews, and seeing their progress has probably been what has given me the courage to go through with this. Closer to the time I will upload my before photos, and my progress photos after the surgery.

Thanks for listening :)

Well just over one week until my surgery, so I thought i'd upload some photos :) I've found it extremely helpful to see others' progress on here, so I have uploaded my pre-explant (current) photos and will upload others after surgery next Thursday. These are taken at 6 years post implant. I've had no other breast surgery since then. No major issues, though I do experience some tightness and discomfort in the right breast. When I got them in I was 18 and determined to have big (or any), breasts. I'd been saving up for years (it was something I wanted since I hit puberty and realised I had no boobs and every other girl did) and I didn't consider the side effects, or the fact that I would need to get them replaced years down the track. I wish i'd just waited a few more years to grow into my own skin and to love my body for the way it was. I was so young when I got them!! But oh well, no point in having regrets.. I just want to get them removed now because the longer I wait the worse they will look when I do remove them, and I have no desire to get them replaced.

I have seen so many amazing outcomes on here, I just hope I am one of them :( I just pray they look like normal little breasts afterwards. Sorry the photos on here have come out on the side, and upside down :/ They look normal on my computer but when I upload them on here they change. So as for the details: I have 330cc silicon, under the muscle, tear drop shaped. As you can see they look quite perky after 6 years. I really hope that will help with limiting sagginess post op. The first two doctors I had a consult with said I would need a lift, though the third, and the one i'm going with, said I should be fine. I really hope she's right and others are wrong! :p

I will probably upload the post surgery photos a few days after the surgery. I am expecting to be feeling quite emotional afterwards and will probably try to avoid looking at them for as long as possible.
