WORTH IT$850
Just a quick update.... I'm about 3 months post op of my lift... I'm still seeing changes... I think I'm a small C it really depends on where I buy my bras.... VS I can still wear a D in some but I have wide boobs : / not so much projection is why.....Right after my lift I was still fitting in to my old bras it must have been swelling because I am smaller now.... But none the less still very happy to have the implants gone...... : )

Still healing doing well... I have a couple slow healing areas that are a bit red... I may call my PS just to be sure I'm on track....
For those of you that have asked my PS is Dr Thomas in Chico CA
I paid 850 for explant and 1100 for a lift..... I had everything done under local.
I'm SO MUCH more comfortable and confident with myself now and still VERY HAPPY : )

Thank you : )

Looking good! May I ask, if you don't mind sharing – what your final bra size is? Sometimes hard to tell without clothing your actual size. Thanks so much

Sure no problem at all....
I'm wearing a 32D but I think they are still settling and firming up so I may drop in size... I just ordered a 32DD pushup swim suit from VS and I LOVE the way it fits.... I have some cleavage going on but I'm not spilling out of it : )
I feel Comfortable, Confindent and SEXY in it ....

please keep pictures updated. I need my implants explanted because they've become hard.. I'm thinking an explant plus a lift, but I'm very nervous about the whole thing. Right now I'm reading on here a lot and doing my research. lm really scared. I've had implants for around 35 years. :-(

Looking super great! I am going to have my explant next month, or sooner if I can find a doctor that is available. How did you get this procedure for $850? Is that a typo? Anyway, you look really good. I can't wait for mine to go far far away. Linda

I am in California too (Orange County). What doctor did you see? And what was total cost with lift included? Thank you!
May 30, 2015
I'm anxious to know what doctor, where, and how much including lift. I would LOVE a consult with @Backtobeingme's plastic surgeon, too! Her results are amazing!

Hi Linda
Sorry for the late reply
My PS is Dr Thomas in Chico CA no it's not a typo he did my removel under local but he also did my augmentation so he may have given me a discount the removel was 850 and the lift ( also under local ) was 1100.... I hope everything works out great for you : )

The lift looks great!!! I am trying to decide if I should do a lift with my explanation or wait. It is so nerve racking trying to figure it out and not knowing what it will look like. How do you feel now?

Hello
Sorry for the late reply : /
For me personally I did everything in steps... I thought I would want a lift but wasn't sure... If you know your going to want/need one it might be worth it to do it all in one procedure.... However some doctors would rather explant wait for 4 to 6 months than do the lift...
It has been a journey for sure but I'm still so happy I did it : ) and I swear sometimes my boobs seem like they firm up over night.... LOL

What a good result. I'd be interested to know who your PS is - his fee for removal under a local is reasonable. I'd like to have a consult with him. Will you please share his name? Thank you.

I'm getting my 375cc high profile silicone submuscular implants removed via local in 7 1/2 days and I'm super nervous. Mine have only been in for about 3 weeks (I knew right away it was a mistake). Any advice you can give me on what to expect being under local?
As far as explant under local it really was not uncomfortable at all... I didn't even feel the shots to numb me.... I talked to my PS during the whole procedure and just felt some pulling and tugging and a HUGE RELIEF once they were out..... My Breast were wrinkled, sagging and deflated but I can honestly say I was so relieved to have the implants gone I didn't care a bit : )
I hope everything goes great for you and don't stress yourself out about the procedure it really was not bad AT ALL.... Please keep me updated.... and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.... Best of luck : )
I'm so happy for you and I really do appreciate your advice and encouragement.
I will definitely let you know how it goes. One week away...or 6 1/2 days to trick my brain :) lol
More than ready to put this all behind me and start loving myself the way God made me.
I hated my implants.....Call your original PS tell them you ARE having an explant and ask if he would remove them under local if not move on and call around to some other PS....you will find one thats willing to listen to want you want / need and be willing to help you.... My thoughts are with you.... Stay strong and remember to do what's BEST FOR YOU : )
