Two years ago when I was 19 I was in a really different place then I am in now. When I look back I definitely had some body issues and obsessions. All I wanted was to be perfect. I placed so much of who I was towards my outer appearance. Growing up my whole life guys would comment about my body or my physical attributes mainly my butt and I thought thats all I was and that getting implants would just make me even better, so I decided to take my perky little Bs and make them into full Ds. In the last two years I have learned so much. Ive grown as a person mainly through painful experiences love hardships but most importantly loss. I loss someone in my immediate family and it made me reflect on the meaning of life. What matters in life is your heart, helping others and just being a kind person. I want to be noticed for my inward beauty.. my soul not my body. I took up yoga and working out and it turned into my medicine. As I continue to grow as a person I know these implants don't serve me anymore. I miss my natural body, my soft body, my REAL body. Yoga has made me love who I am mistakes and all. I don't want implants to interfere with my practice, It Bothers me when I do postures and feel suffocated by my implants. The thought of eventually going on a run without implants again make my heart smile. I feel like all I do is hide them so there is no point in having them anymore. Personally, having fake boobs make me feel like a fake person and I can't shake that feeling but with that being said of course I would NEVER judge someone else that had them. I know we all get implants for different reasons but for my life journey something inside me is telling me to take them out. Im going through all this alone and its scary. My friends can't relate because they dont have them, I dont have a significant other so its just me and realself. Reading other peoples stories has given me more confidence in my decision but with all that being said sometimes I do still doubt myself. I didn't get small implants (480cc) and although I'm ready to love myself and what I had before I don't know if I will go back to what I was before. Im scared my breast will be stretched to my bellybutton for all I know. Im stronger as a person but will I still be able to feel okay if I look distorted? My implants are under my pec muscle will that be damaged forever?Sometimes I think I should just get 200cc saline small implants put in instead even thought thats not what I really want because I'm scared I won't be able to emotionally handle a very bad result. Im still young and like to go to the beach with friends.. will I ever be able to wear a bathing suit again? ANYWAY I'm sorry for rambling. I have my consultation with Dr Mussat and I'm hoping she will offer me some clarity and helpful guidance.

Hey girl. Your story hit me pretty hard! I'm 26 and have had implants in for 4 years. I had 500cc put in originally and last November had a surgery to put smaller implants in (350 cc). I have been suffering from anxiety about my implants. As you said, I'm a different person now than when I first got them and I love yoga but I am self conscious about working out with implants. Also, what you said about people seeing inner beauty is SO TRUE. I want my implants out.
During the second surgery, my doctor put 350 cc in. I wanted smaller implants but he said I may need a lift if I go any smaller. Those scars aren't the best so I opted out for that. But now I just want them gone for the exact reasons you mentioned but I'm nervous too. Real self has helped me a bit to see what the results look like and it seems the sooner you get them out, the better they will look naturally. I hope to stay updated with your process! We're in the exact same boat so I'd love to stay in touch. Email me if you want to chat more! sagekara@live.com

I will keep you updated and looking forward to my consultation so I can have more knowledge on implant removal. When you got 500cc replaced to 350cc did you feel like your skin contracted to fit the smaller size? Don't listen to doctors about lifts sometimes I think they just want extra $$. It's important to try to find Doctor that has good bedside manner/caring and has your best interest at heart!! I'm not going back to my original surgeon because I don't think he knows much about implant removal/capsule included and he's the one that pushed me to go bigger than I intended in first place so I don't really trust him. I have anxiety about this all too but we all make mistakes that's how we learn and grow and just remember nothing is the end of the world! ( after all they are just boobs) :0 good luck to you and I'll keep in touch !

You're not alone, we are here for you! You are very young and you have not had the implants very long, I think that everything will tighten up nicely for you. You could always have them removed, wait six months, and if you arent happy have a lift or fat grafting. Look at so.e of the stories and pics on this sight, it's amazing how our bodies can bounce back! I live in the Milwaukee area, feel free to sent me a private message if you ever need to talk. I'm having my removal, no lift on September 1st. I'll follow you, please keep us updated!

Girl , I feel you 100% I am 24 got my implants a year and a half . I'm explanting the 31. I also feel alone. I have a boyfriend but he is tired of me talking about my boobs lol and all the problems I've had
August 22, 2016
Yes! Everyone is sick of me talking about it! (This is karasage by the way. I had to set up a new account!)
Im debating if I lose weight I'll feel better. I did gain weight so maybe it will make me feel better? Do any of you girls have that issue? I also noticed my posture is awful and I'm thinking my large breasts have something to do with that...

I'm in the same boat . I feel like my large boobs make me look more big . And it also makes it hard to work it since they move so much .

Posture and working hard 10xx harder. Can't not wait to have little boobs back. Guess the grass isn't always greener on the otherside

Karasage I wrote you back but my reply was to your other account! I was curious if your skin contracted your first downsize to 350? If so that is a good indication you probably will contract again if you decide to take them out completely! We do have age on our sides plus I'm sure your posture will improve that's something I'm looking forward to too!

I agree with you... Even though mine look good, I feel an foreign object in my body and there's nothing natural about it. Taking mine out in two weeks.. Wish u all the best :)

Hello. I am a guy (nurse) and am very sorry for all your losses, heartache, and struggles. I see that the previous comment referred you to a link, which apparently did not impact your feelings as I would have hoped it would. I did not read the information on the link, but I would have hoped it would have encouraged you to talk to someone about your feelings about your body and yourself before you allow anyone to perform any kind of surgery on you. I do not know any details about your loss, but as you may know the process of grieving is very complex. Grieving very commonly can cause struggles like you are experiencing. I understand the physical considerations and difficulties your implants are causing you. Please be reminded that those struggles and challenges of comfort are although very significant, too closely related to how you feel about yourself in your heart of hearts to base your decision on regarding surgery. My point is you can always have the surgery, so there is no need to rush. For you to be the best you can be, therefore, you should not rush into surgery. The step you took when you were younger was huge, and you had a beautiful (aesthetically and health-wise) outcome. Please be very cautious and absolutely certain you do not want to remain as you are because no one, despite what anyone tells you, can know how you will feel when you look at yourself after reduction/removal surgery compared to how you do now until afterwards. If you are not pleased with the result, it will be too late then. I cannot stress to you enough how important I believe it is for you, someone so very young and healthy, and evidently very attractive, to talk, talk, talk, talk to your family doctor, counselors, and anyone else who will listen. It is vitally important that your heart and head are the best they can be before you make any irreversible changes to your body. Regards!

Don't listen to anyone else. Do what you want. If you change your mind you could always add implants or get a lift. You might look the same as before bc of your age and the short amount of time you had them.

I am only 3 1/2 weeks post op, 320 cc, but I am certain I want them removed, for the same reasons you mentioned. I am ashamed and regretful that I ever put these implants in my body. I am already having complications, which doc says are minor but if it's your body they sure feel more than minor! And I can't imagine a lifetime of worrying about problems down the road. It's a very powerful experience to go through this and realize how sacred your body is. It's so helpful to know there are others who feel the same. Pleas keep us posted and continue to share your experience.
