WORTH IT$3,000
As with many on this site I had very low self asteem after a 15 year, abusive, childless marriage. My implants were a gift to me for my 40th and I went from a 34aa to a 34dd even though I asked for a b/c cup. Initially I was thrilled with them and yet over the years as I have become more athletic and happier with who I am the implants have started to feel alien to me and are scheduled for removal tomorrow..... This site has been an invaluable font of knowledge and has led to me having very few nerves about what is to come but rather continued reassurance that this is completely the right thing to do - wish me luck as this time tomorrow they will be gone and I really can't wait!!!

Ah bubbles, that's great news! Unfortunately, I had to have drains but being a redhead I'm a bit of a bleeder. Stay positive, look forward to seeing your results. Take it easy xx

Day one.....

Well my first 'viewing' was nerve racking and pleasantly surprising - they looked much better than I thought they would although I have to admit stood there in my paper pants I didn't look too closely...... On arriving home I feel a little tender and having shared them with my mum, then came the emotions I've heard others talk about and I suppose reality hit!! More upset at what I did seven years ago I think than what has happened in the past 24 hours - they look kind of sad and that's how I'm feeling right now. I shall I am sure, like my little boobies, bounce back as I know 100% I have done the research get thing. I'll post photos as soon as I feel able xx

Bless you. I did all my crying beforehand and haven't shed a tear yet, it may come though... Please try not to feel sad, I know it's hard, I keep telling myself, tiny boobies are definitely in! Take it easy and try to relax as much as possible. I'm quite excited about my unveil on Thursday, however it may also be the turning point for me as I know there's not much under there. I measured myself today, 34A if I'm lucky haha. Sending healing thoughts your way. Xx

Thank you so much - it's the texture that has got me all worked up I think and the fact that I am maybe looking too closely too quickly isn't helping!! Your support really is appreciated xx

From reading other ladies stories and looking at pics has really helped me. Our bodies are great, healing does take time, some of the ladies results are amazing. But it can take up to 6 months before the breast properly heals. We can't expect too much too quickly. [RS bleep]

Awe. You'll feel better soon sweetie. Any surgery makes one feel emotional. This type of surgery is no different, even if you really want it. Give yourself time. You won't regret your decision. I'm having mine out in 8 days. It's all I think about.
March 15, 2016
Thank you, I know I have done the right thing and that's probably why I am almost upset at being upset if that makes sense??!! There is little discomfort so really with no drains I should be hopeful of a speedy recovery - just need them to get 'fluffing' :) xx

Hello so happy for you it has been a week for me and I am soooooo happy , I am 52 so I was worried about how my breast tissue would be because of my age, I too had no drains and they look amazing! At my 6 day post op visit my PS said they were beautiful! I had so many symptoms since having BA that's what I was looking forward to was feeling myself again. The cosmetic side I was less concerned with........although I was looking forward to looking smaller! Good luck take care of yourself rest up, keep me posted. I will be posting pictures soon.
March 15, 2016
Thank you for your reassuring words - don't know what I'd do without this site and all you wonderful ladies there to support!! I'm being impatient today and need to focus on the real reason I had them out and be small and proud!! You take care and I'm going to try and rest (another not so strong point of mine
March 15, 2016
Ya I'm the same but I have been listening to my body.......take my advice rest now and your body will thank you for it by healing and looking good!

I can't wait to see your pictures! I am In Ontario too and 51 and waiting to see a PS in Toronto. Do you mind mentioning who you used for your explants? I see your question about how many women explant because they just don't feel like the implants were part of them and that were just unhappy. I felt like that right away. I probably would have kept them for my husbands happiness but started having pain.
It sounds like you had a good surgery and I'm so happy for you!!

Hi, my explant took place at the Thornbury in Sheffield UK by Dr Lam, the PS who put them in - he was so honest and straightforward and whilst he loved the job he did on me he understood my reasons fully for removal and was very supportive

Aw sorry to hear, but apparently there is often a sad patch just from the drugs they give you for anaesthetic alone!...let alone yes the huge caldron of feelings... I felt it's been a processing of the whys etc too... And the whole grief cycle of denial, anger, blame, guilt, then acceptance ... And I fully expect some tears afterwards... Since when tired I can get teary n feel like the sky is falling ...lol.. But I am glad for us both its getting processed now so we can move on with our lives!...hopefully better for wear, as the fluffing eventually happens?! ;) xxxxx Sending a bucket of love and wishing you peace asap... Xxxxx

Thank you so much for your thoughts and kind words...... You are so right when you talk about the plethora of emotions, prior to the operation I was nothing but positive and determined but as you quite rightly say I'm not good when I'm tired either :) I have just woken and am facing the prospect of a shower so that'll be my first opportunity to really explore how my little friends are looking and feeling!! Wish me luck and here's to a much better day xx take care xx
