I finally scheduled a consultation for one week from today. March 2nd 2018. I have been browsing this website and thinking a lot about removal for 3 years now. I'm so tired of being in pain. I just want these implants gone... I have back pain CONSTANTLY along with other symptoms including depression, fatigue, weight gain, digestive issues, and hair loss. I have had 2 breast augmentations. The first set were 350 and 375cc saline unders and one of them ruptured within a year of having them during this year I also gained 15 lbs and was diagnosed with depression. Don't know if it's related or not but just saying... Never had these problems before. So I got my breasts redone and went with larger implants 500cc. I regret that decision - I could have been free from implants when they ruptured :[ anyways...I have a little one now that is constantly wanting to climb on me and hold me and wants to be carried by me and these impants make all those things difficult and painful. I'm done. I'll upload some pictures of the 500cc. I dont have any pre implant pictures...I don't even remember what my old breasts used to look like :(

I want to follow your story! Keep updating on your consult and your surgery. I’m having my saline 350cc removed after 18 yrs, in April and I can’t wait for that day to come.

You will love your decision I am sure. I had my explant 3 weeks ago and couldn't be happier. I think my new girls look much nicer and it is so amazing not to be in constant pain. I have a two year old who still comforts by touching my chest and I use to cringe whenever she did it. My shoulder and neck pain has eased and I've already lost 5 kilos in 3 weeks without even trying. I had hardly any downtime, I was back working a physical job within a week and no drains or lift etc required. I am so looking forward to starting back at the gym which I stopped after getting implants. It's hard not to worry about what you will look like following surgery but I can almost guarantee you it will be the best decision you've ever made. Best wishes x

This is amazing macca001. Did you have capsulectomy or straight removal? I’m having my op in 5 weeks XX

I am 38yo with a 4 year old and just had my under muscle, 300cc, 20 year old implants out. I am soooooo happy I finally did it and wish I did 10 years ago. My breasts are getting nicer every day and they look fine. The skin is slightly loose but improving daily. My back feels so much better already. I left the capsule and did the procedure awake (no lift). It was a great experience. I needed pain meds for about 24 hours. My little girl is always hugging me and I can’t wait to fully heal and be able to pick her up and hold her for the first time without implants. I am 100% happy I did it and wish I did 10 years ago.

I’m going through the same thing right now and have the same size implants as you! Can’t wait to see how you recover and can’t wait to have mine gone!

I absolutely LOVED my Dr. He was very thorough when explaining my options. He listened and agreed with my decision to explant and wait on a lift. He quoted me 2750 which is right in my price range. I made an appointment for surgery on April 19th. I CANNOT WAIT!

My Dr didn't say anything about needing a capsulectomy. He thinks I have enough breast tissue and will be fine. He did say that the implants caused some caving in my chest and that I may be a good candidate for fat transfer in the future if I choose to do so. He may not have mentioned the capsulectomy because I said I wasn't sure if I was done having kids yet (I don't know if that would affect my ability to breastfeed) anyways hope this helps <3

good luck!!!! it was the best thing that I’ve done. I feel amazing. I didn’t know that I wasn’t feeling well until they came out and I’ve noticed a huge difference. I feel better. I look better. I’m not bloated...and I didn’t realize that I was!!! crazy. anyway...feel free to read my review. I had them out with just local and no capsule removal. recovery was easy. good luck!!!! and if you have any questions...shoot me a message.
