Had silicone implants 50 yrs. ago in San Diego, CA...
Had silicone implants 50 yrs. ago in San Diego, CA. Doctor in Port Arthur, TX replaced granulated silicone implants with 350 cc saline implants under the muscle 8 yrs. ago, The replacement implants were too large and I have never been happy with their size. I wore minimizer bras and carefully chose my wardrobe to hide how large they were. Same doctor removed them on Sept. 29 under a local in his office. Took a Xanax 1 hr. before surgery. No numbing gel but shots weren't that bad. Felt pain when cutting on outer perimeter of scars. One implant burst during the extraction. No sign of any problems with implants that were removed or breasts. Only small bandages and sterri-strips was applied. The bandages were removed during the follow up visit the next day. Will get the stitches out Oct. 12. The doctor prescribed pain pills with codeine but I didn't like the side effects so I used two pills the first night only. Too much activity so I took a full strength aspirin last night (8th day after surgery). I am still taking the Doxycycline Hyclate 100MG tablets. So thankful for this website and want to thank all the ladies for giving their reviews. It really helped me before and after the procedure. The breasts aren't full and probably never will be as full as I'd like but I am pleased with them and so very glad I had them removed. I'm wearing sports bras and bought some new bras to wear when I leave the house. Although I was a B cup before, I wear a 34 D now. The inner top pole on breasts don't quite fill out the tops of the bra but 34 C are too small. If they don't improve I will still be happy with the way they look. Wish I hadn't replaced the silicone implants 8 yrs ago with more implants but was very fortunate nothing bad has happened as a result. The breasts were pretty and I had no problems with them - just too large and wanted my natural and soft breasts back.
Very glad I had the implants removed and happy I didn't have the lift. At my age did not want anything but natural breasts. Never regretted getting the implants but they were the original Dow implants and found out I have many symptoms that were because of them. Not sure if all my symptoms were from implants or not but I'm happy they're out. Too soon to see if any of the muscle and joint pain, etc. stops. I am very active and do my own yard and gardening and handyman jobs and exercise regularly so that has really kept me from lots of medical problems. Good luck to all of you wonderful ladies that took the time to write reviews that help so many. Tried to use old HP printer program to load pics on IMAC and all the dates are messed up. Didn't know how to upload except by taking screen shots, sorry. Hope you can sort them out. The ones with bandages were taken the day of surgery. The last ones were taken today Oct. 5, thank you.

Provider Review
Really like him personally and would recommend him. He did a beautiful job with replacing the silicone implants which were done in San Diego, Ca. when I was 21 yrs. old. The only thing I didn't like was that they were much too large.
