WORTH IT$11,000
I had my original BA done 16 years ago in Thousand Oaks, CA. At that time, pretty much everyone I knew was doing it, and after breastfeeding 2 kids, my breasts needed something (I was a saggy socks). I had always been a 36C, and I thought a BA would be more of a "lift". After my initial surgery, I felt they turned out to be too large (36DD). 4 years later I went to the same PS to have my implants reduced, but the doc did not listen very well. They were lifted better, but still a 36DD. Finally, 12 years later, I am ready to just get them out and have a lift. I am a runner and a swimmer, so having such large breasts has been more of a hindrance for me. My PS here in Coeur d'Alene, ID has listened to my concerns, and I am confident he can fix my current situation. Surgery is scheduled for this Monday! I will have drains and the 6 weeks of no swimming will be tough for sure, but thanks to this wonderful website for helping me to be certain of this decision. :) Will keep you updated.

Will post pics soon. Husband taking great are of me. :) When I look down at my bandages I already feel excited! So glad to be on the healing side of things. Drains don't hurt. I cannot wait to wear a fitted Tshirt and not feel so self conscious.

They're out! I already feel so much better. I guess I had 325 CCs, but they felt like 600s!! I highly recommend Dr. Owsley. He listened to me and he has a wonderful staff.

Im so happy for you, I bet you feel significantly lighter as well. That's a lot of weight to carry around unnecessarily on our chest. Happy healing:)

Hi - did your physician remove them via inframammary fold or areola incision? Congrats on getting your implants removed.

Did you end up getting a lift, or are you going to wait and see what your breast will do on their own?

I debated on this one and decided to get the lift. Better than going back later. since I had savvy boobs to begin with, I went ahead and did it.

I hope you're feeling better still. I'm getting my explant next week and I'm so scared/excited. How long do you have to have the drains?
