ok so i'll try to keep it brief...i was an A cup for 36 years however i was a 38 A which is kind of a weird size, right? hard size to find, seems most bras are more like a 38D!? anyway, i was always unhappy with my small breasts, even after having 3 children in my early 20's they really didn't change much, certainly didn't get bigger so when i had the opportunity to get breast implants i did! i chose silicone over the muscle because it was a simple procedure, only took 1 day off work and went right back to my normal life with much bigger boobs! the implants were supposed to make me a full C but i think i have developed more breast tissue of my own over the past few years because i became a D within a year or 2 and now am a DD! my weight has not changed, still 5'7" and 145 lbs...so i'm not sure exactly why they are bigger but they definitely are. so for about 8 years i really enjoyed them and all was well. i went for yearly mammograms but never did the recommended 3 year MRI because it's expensive and insurance wouldn't pay for it. :( then about 6 months ago i noticed my left breast had become harder, higher, sore, etc. i went to see my original plastic surgeon who said it wasn't ruptured and to just massage it/push it down and hopefully it would go back to the way it used to be...but it hasn't. it's definitely contracted and feels and looks like a softball at this point. i went for an MRI and it said there was only a "slight" contracture in both breasts and both were completely intact. (we'll see about that when they come out) well despite the fairly positive MRI my left breast doesn't feel good or look good anymore so i decided to have them both out. i don't want them replaced and i don't want further scars so i won't be doing a lift. (although i'm sure they could use a little lift at this point) again i only want to take 1 day off work, so no drains and no lift!

thank you, i will be sure to update thursday after the surgery! (probably before then too)

I am going to guess that your going to have great breasts when your done with more breast tissue than your expecting ! With your bra size changing I'm guessing that's your new tissue !!! . I was implant free 7 years and did not mind it one bit . In fact life was easier without implants but I'm only 2 weeks out from having them put back in again .
September 14, 2015
Can I ask why you put them back in again?
September 15, 2015
Sure - I lost 25 pounds and have kept it off. I felt I was out of proportion. I wanted to give implants one last try . I had s hard time filling out a b cup , swimwear was awful, and so many of my tops are needing strapless bras .
As I write this tho , I unfortunately am waiting to hear from my Dr - im not sure but my right breast looks like the implant has fallen ??? Two weeks out and I'm experiencing a issue already :(

Aah don't you worry about 38 a, that's me too, although i am 38 D at the mo with implants, seriously considering explant.
You really look great, and if i knew i could look this good i would have them out tomorrow.

I wish you the best! I get mine out on October 2nd! It's getting so close. I don't even care how I look afterwards ..All I want is to feel normal again.
Hope all goes well for you :)

Congrats on getting your body back. You look by far much much better without them. You have given me much confidence to go through with my removal on Friday. Thank You for sharing your post and photos this really helped :)

i am excited! i know they will be droopy and unattractive for months, possibly forever, but i'm ok with that! at least they will be mine and be soft and not feel like softballs... i have NO regrets having the implants in the first place, we've had a good 8.5 years together and it has been fun :) but now it's time to break up and move on... if the left one didn't start contracting i would have just left them alone... over the past few years i have wished that they were smaller but i wasn't about to go through more unnecessary surgery to downsize them.

I'm following you - I just had 213cc silicone implants over the muscle on 8/31 put in . I had much larger implants under the muscle years ago but took them out 7 years ago after complications. I'm hoping the above muscle will be better .

i just looked at your profile, they look great! if i wasn't afraid of having another contracture i'd just exchange the implants but i really don't want to take the chance of having any more surgery :(
September 13, 2015
Yep I'm reading about contracture , which I'm not sure was my problem the first time around or not (my breast pockets couldn't hold smaller implants so they moved all over and became very painful )
My specialist Dr repaired these pockets but they still never healed after 7 years . Thus why I'm above muscle now . If these become a issue then I will know implants are obviously not for me .
I think you'll be very happy when your done . It's very freeing to be implant-less :)

Your going to have people asking you if you lost weight !!!! Big bonus :) say yes !!!! Xo
User Avatar
September 14, 2015
oh yes! how big were the ones you had originally?
September 14, 2015
I believe they where around 275cc .i hated how they looked after gaining weight . It just made me look matronly . I was thrilled to get them out!! I've since lost 25 pounds so I'm trying this again . I wish you so much luck !!! I really wasn't /still not crazy about having implants in again . The one thing I can say is i look more proportionate. ( a push up bra could do the same thing ) .
September 14, 2015
I had my remove almost 4 months ago, I'm so happy

Good for you having them out before a rupture occurs or you develop health issues. Waiting is hard but just a few more days now! Wishing you an easy recovery and a lovely result. You are so young, you will bounce back quickly! :)
