Ready to Have the Implants out! I am still nervous wondering how I will look! - Charleston, WV

So many of us have been told the same thing. I guess most doctors think dd are every girl's dream! I just went through an explant 8 days ago and feel so much better than I did. We all fear the end results but our bodies have a way of recovering! Be strong and follow your heart. You will be fine!

Hi Michelle--as Nana said, many of us were told that we would be unhappy with the results, that we would be flat or deformed...  I had wanted mine out in 1997 but was scared by what the surgeon told me so downsized from a C to a B cup.  This site helped make the decision to finally get them out and I am SO glad to be small again!!  We are here for you and I hope you gain support & strength from the wonderful women here.

I am in the same boat although I am 45 and have had mine for almost 9 years. I was talked into getting implants instead of a lift, which is what I really wanted. Instead I went from a B to a DD, totally unnatural and way too big and heavy although everyone says they look great. I have paid a deposit and have a date for removal and a lift, my doctor was very understanding and did not try to talk me into smaller implants or gummies or other things some women have described. He understood my concerns about how they would look after removal and I didn't even have to say I wanted a lift. My surgery is in about a month and a half, and I'm very excited about being natural and implant-free! I will be about a B-C, my boyfriend is very excited and supportive, we are both trying to be as healthy and natural as possible, and that includes not having two saline lumps in my chest. If I may add also, aesthetically I just think they make a lot of women look fat, most men can tell they are fake, and smaller breasts are more attractive and youthful anyway. I would say to all women considering implants, think long and hard because it's a very important decision that costs money to have reversed, as well as pain and regret if you change your mind once they are in.

I forgot to mention my doctor is Dr. Diaco, he is one of the most professional and well-respected in the state of Florida.

Good luck on your surgery this week!!  I'm sure it will be a relief to have the surgery behind you and focus on your healing and recovery.

Thank you! I u. I agree with you. I guess somedoctors just don't undestand that all we want is to look a little better in our clothes and bathing suits. Just think how much easier its gonna be to buy a bathing suit!

Michelle, I am so excited for you! Just a few days to natural and free of the plastics, yay!

Good luck with your explant surgery this week! You will feel so much better when they are out! Almost there!
