I've been contemplating removing my breast implant for quite some time. I was very self conscious about my breasts, always trying to conceal my breasts by wearing minimizers. I was also experiencing a myriad of health issues such as chronic fatigue, neck pain, lower back pain, recurring skin rashes, and brain fog at times. I read that these were common symptoms exhibited by women with breast implants. And after removing their implants they felt a lot better.
Finally made the decision to have my implants removed. I consulted with a few plastic surgeons in the DMV area and decided on Dr. Khairalla. Surgery was on July 29, 2016 at Sibley Memorial under general anesthesia. I was concerned about the aesthetic outcome after explant surgery and hoped for the best. Was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. So glad I finally removed my implants. I feel great and am super happy with the decision I made.

You look great. The improvement is amazing and I do think your breasts are so much prettier real! I hope your symptoms are improving. I had all the above and I'm finding I'm 90% better with them and the capsules out. I KNOW for certain it was them wearing my system down. Hope your healing continues to go well. Thank you for sharing your story! Hugs!

I thought I would need a lift too because my left breast looked like a deflated balloon right after my surgery. However, it started fluffing up a few days later. So maybe there's a chance you might not need a lift.

Mine looked like deflated balloons before surgery lol- that's why I got the implants to start so I'm pretty sure I will need to have one.
