WORTH IT
After cc in right breast and pain I'm getting my implants removed. I can't wait. I haven't slept on my stomach for 5 years. I want to ride my horse and run with confidence again. I want to stick my chest out without being self conscious. I want to hold my puppies dogs close to me. I'm getting an explant on August 17th 2016 five years later. I can't live with them anymore and its affecting my life in negative ways. I haven't had a boyfriend and I can't do the things I want to do with confidence. I wish I never got them to begin with. It was a huge mistake and they are in the way all the time and not to mention very painful! I will post the post op pics. My advice is to not get them to begin with and get them out if you have them in. I can't wait to be myself again.

You are so smart to do this when you are young. You will feel so happy and proud of yourself! It is an easy operation with little downtime, especially if you do it under local. Your skin will retract easily and you'll probably have the added bonus of having more breast tissue than you started out with. I wish I would not have left mine in for so many years, but did not know that explant was even an option. I am very happy after 1.5 years explant and will update soon.

Thinking and waiting
I'm just thinking how good its going to be to sleep and breathe without this two pounds on my chest. I can't wait to not have these boobs making me look top heavy. I hope they look okay after. I'm getting impatient and I wonder how it will go. I just want to be me again without these boobs dragging me down. I can't stand up straight, I want to breathe again. So glad this will be happening. I get my mammogram on Wednesday.

Thank you! Good luck to u as well. I couldn't wait so I opened a credit card that my plastic surgeons office works with to speed up the process.

Its your body! Not hers! Don't let anyone try to influence your true insticts about yourself! U have to live with u. Its your choice to make not hers. Saggy chest or fake chest. 99% of people who explant say its worth it including me. I don't have to worry about them ever ever again.

This is exactly how I feel! So sore and ready to be free. I booked mine yesterday for the 30th. I hope your recovery is still going well.

Congrats!! You will be really ☺ I'm sure. I'm having sharp pains but I think things and reconnecting and healing its natural. Everything good.A little pain
I wish I hadn't gotten them in the first place but now I know how it feels and I'm taking them out on the 31st of Aug
I have a question are they doing just the removal of your implants or also the capsule
Thanks
Good luck
