Removing Saline Implants Under Muscle in Charleston -

I had a mamogram in march and firmly believe this is what caused my one implant to rupture, i now have one very hard implant with discomfort .i am seeing my surgeon weds 15/10/14 for removal of both implants asap. Im not having them replaced however very worried as to how they will look afterwards. Keep you informed xx

I developed capsular contracture in both breasts. It started a few years ago and got progressively worse. Over the past couple months my breast started to hurt. I began with a mild tenderness, progressed into a deep soreness and then agony so bad I couldn't even lift my arms over my head. I got them because after I had my two daughters my breast looked deflated. Back in my 20's my appearance meant a lot more to me than it does now. When I think about what I've done to myself I'm so angry at my own vanity!

Yes likewise had mine done at a younger age when looks and vanity was important. I will just be glad now to get these awful implants out. Just waiting on a date for removal. They are getting sore and dont want to get to a stage where im in constant pain.

I believe next week is your surgery, right? I know you are excited! I am still contemplating my explant. I don't have any problems, almost 20 yrs done now, but I am really sick of them, heavy, down to my waist, can't wear swimsuit without feeling absurd, just not me! I am ready but I am trying to justify the cause, I feel silly to have them taken out, so much money for mostly vanity reasons I guess! My husband has only known me with implants and he isn't happy about my thinking! He really hurt my feelings when he said, "Sort of a bait and switch thing to me" Can you believe that? He is a very funny man and I had to appreciate the wit of his remark but it made me feel like he totally married me 11 years ago for my boobs! Good luck to you, I can't wait to hear how it turns out!

Thanks for you reply, i have an appointment with the surgeon 15/10/14 it is a follow up appointment since having a mri scan a couple of weeks ago. I believe he may give me a date for my explant then or write with the appt shortly afterwards. The one ruptured implant has swelled much more than my very first appt a couple of months ago. So hopefully my op will be soon. Sorry to hear your husband made a remark that was a little harsh. Im sure he loves you however big your boobs are. Men just dont think sometimes before they speak. Fortunately im not in a relationship right now so any future partner will meet me with my small but all mine boobs. I will keep you informed about my op and try and upload some pics before and after.

Men can be extremely insensitive. I'm sorry he said that hurtful comment to you Emersonbigguns. My hubbie (who is a pretty fantastic guy 99% of the time) said to me upon first hearing of my desire to explant - "Why would you do that to yourself? Why would you go out of your way to make yourself un-sexy?" !!! OUCH !!! He has since apologized profusely but a comment like that can be taken and held by the listener with ugliness for years to come. I chose not to do that and to let it go after 3 days or so (of course, after telling him how disappointed I was in him and how deeply hurt I was by his comment) and proceeded with my research to explant. You have to be strong in your desire to do what is right FOR YOU and sometimes that goes against what your best friend wants. It is YOUR decision and hopefully he will come around to understanding all the good reasons why you are doing this. Unfortunately when men get nervous (as mine does whenever you talk about ANY surgical procedure) their mouths say the stupidest things. It's like they can't help it and yours tried to be witty and instead sounded like an idiot (temporarily). Don't hold it against him - communicate MORE with him and HELP him on this journey - they really are not as strong as THEY think. Keep us posted - we care!

Thankyou i will keep you all informed xx
