300cc silicone gel under the muscle 2 Year Old Implants Have to Go! Need Explant. Charlotte, NC

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has shared their journey on this website. it has been so helpful to me. Because of all of your post you have help me realize I have to get these implants out and I will be better off without them and I will look fine! I have had my implants for two years and I thought I liked them at first, but have since regretted getting them.. There were a lot of things going on in my life and for some reason I thought I needed implants to feel better. Boy was I wrong. I hate having these heavy balls inside me. They are too large for my small frame and I look silly. I can't find cute bras. I also have having pain in my right shoulder and arm lately and seemed to always have brain fog. I want my small boobs back so I can feel healthy and wear fitted clothing again. I went back to the PS who did my breast surgery to inquire about an explant. His first response was "we did exactly what you asked, you picked that size, you tired on the fake ones, and you picked out the picture and we did just what you asked" (very defensive) then "why do you want them out, no one gets their implants removed" "the only women who get removed are women whose mother has been diagnosed with breast cancer and it scares them" "yours are the perfect size for your frame" "If you have them removed you will look like you did before (and shows me my before picture), maybe worse" "You will also have to have drains and be out of work for 2 weeks" "what about getting smaller ones". Then he gives me quotes for removal ($8200) and revision for smaller ones ($6500) - OMG! it cost $8000 to get them! so needless to say, i left his office feeling sad and deciding to try to learn to love my implants. that was in August 2015. I have tried and tried to love them, but i hate them. I have an appt Tuesday, Feb 2, 2016 with another PS to discuss having them removed. he actually gave me a quote over the phone ($5200) . I am in Charlotte NC. Anyone out there who has had an explant in Charlotte? Or can anyone give me a referral for a good PS for removal? What price have you paid? thank you in advance for you help! I will keep posting my journey so I can help others as you all have helped me! I will also post pics! thank you all so much!!

I forgot to mention the type and size implants I got. I see post on here for removal starting at $1800 and up. I need to find a good surgeon but can't see paying $8200 for removal. Thanks for all the advice!!

Just got a call from the PS office he is in surgery and has to reschedule my consultation which was today at 3:00pm. Was very excited about going today to maybe schedule surgery. I am so anxious to find out if I can have local so it would be cheaper. Rescheduled for February 4 at 1:30pm.

I just read on this site that insurance may cover the explant. Anyone used insurance to pay for explant.
