15 years ago I got ( Mentor 275cc high profile textured cohesive silicone gel ) implants under the muscle. The muscle wasn't severed so I have no problems with flexing.
I filled an a cup before but I had no sagging breast, indeed my breast was beautiful before and I would do much to get it back. But of course this won't happen. After getting a child my boobs changed much and my boobs and nipples became very saggy and bigger. Before and after augmentation they looked well first. So please don't think my surgeon would have done a bad job. No she really did a good job and I didn't have any problems for 10 years.
It was a very bad decision for me to get implants and implants are simply not for me.
I think they are unhealthy and I can't stand the feeling of them. In addition the implants are painful for me for the last 5 years.
I have done an ultrasound and the implants aren't damaged.
Because of the saggy boobs I know that I will look devastating after explantation, but I don't care, because this is what I have done to my body a long time ago.
I'm writing this review because I want all girls out there to consider very well if they really want to get breast augmentation. What I have learned is that only because you are not satisfied with your real boobs that doesn't mean that you don't like them years later. Ideas change over time when we get older and it isn't always possible to change our mind without bearing the visual consequences and the other consequences of course . Even if you have a lift this will have visual consequences, too. And I really don't like the procedure of lifts, I never will do any more harm to my body if it isn't necessary for my health. I trust my surgeon, she is really good and she had done my breast augmentation, too. Of course she told me, that I will look deformed after explantation. Sorry but English isn't my native language.
I have added some before pics.
Let me know what you think, every comment is welcome.

Hi there. It sounds like you are looking forward to your op as much as me. Yes, a big mistake to make, but we were young and deceived by the industry. I am sure if we were given the facts about what we were putting into our bodies most of us would not have gone ahead with it. Women today have the advantage of our mistakes - I hope that our stories will stop some women from making the same mistake.

I wish you well with your surgery and look forward to hearing how you get on. x

Thank you very much for your kind words and the good wishes.
Well, I'm not very worried, because after the first procedure I didn't get any scars and she will take the implants out the same way they were put in through the old incisions of the areola. I'm very happy that she helps me and that I don't have to wait long for the surgery.
I am very relieved, that I will be free of future surgeries soon and I hope that there will be no complications.

Hello, I also had under the muscle implants. I had them removed in 2014.
Let me tell you had liberated I feel having them out!
I was very nervous of how my breasts would look afterwards.
I have to admit my breasts are a bit saggy and very soft but I'm happy with them. I don't feel the need to go back to the surgeon to get a lift, it's not worth it.
I'm sincerely ok with the end result. I've spoken at length with my husband who agrees whole heartedly that they are good just as they are.
The best part of having the implants out is that I can lay on my stomach, I can sleep comfortably on my breasts.
I'm relieved to have those toxic bags out.
I was uncomfortable with them in.
Right after the surgery my breasts were swollen to the point I wasn't sure if the doctor removed the implants. He showed me pictures, one of the implants was punctured and had been absorbing fluids because it was dark in colour compared to the other. Yikes.
I did speak to my doctor about getting a lift right away, he advised me to wait until my body adjusted to having the implants out, see how I feel.
I'm so grateful for that advice because I don't need any further surgery. It took about a year for the swelling to come down for my body to adjust. I did have a pocket of fluid that developed like a lump about a year after removal, I was trrrified thinking, cancer.
It ended up to be fluid, from my body still adjusting from the implants becoming removed. The lump did come down, I had it biopsied ultrasound and all came back clear, after my initial surgery I did not get drainage tubes, my doctor felt they would be more problematic for me, because of this your body has to process all your fluids that develop from the swelling, that is most likely why I got a fluid filled lump.
With all this said I can't begin to tell you how happy relieved and confident I feel that having my implants removed was the best thing.
I wish I would have never gotten them in the first place.
After having my daughter, I wasn't comfortable with my breasts they sagged a little looked different is size, I thought implants were the answer.
I was wrong. I'm now 37 with 36 DD very sodt luscious breasts that's my husband loves ti nuzzle into.
I feel lighter healthier, happier.
You won't regret getting those monsters taken out.
Good luck and all the best.

Another thing I love about having the implants removed, I can now buy pretty lace bras, it's fabulous, I no longer need miliateristic style armour to hold my breasts and support. I can get the pretty lace thin shoulder strap sexy bras.
It's wonderful.

I totally agree with you. I hated my implants because they were a barrier between me and the loved ones I wanted to hug. They became hard and mishapen over the years. I was never told they would need replacing ever 5 years or so. There was never enough money to have them removed. By the time I'd raised my children and saved the exorbitant amount to remove them they were both leaking and sticky. My surgeon said they resembled something out of the X-Files. Happily for me I had gained nice firm breast tissue over the years so they look great. Best thing is i am able to hug tightly those I love. What a delight. So glad they are gone gone gone.

A question

cateyesger
Does anyone of you have any experiences if the nipples get a little bit smaller after explantation ? My are really big, but you can't see it in the other pictures so I will add a better one.

From most of the pictures on here it looks like most everyone's areolae get smaller. I don't think you will look deformed - it looks like your implants are not very big and your skin tone is good. The skin will retract and I bet you will have nice little breasts.

Thank you daylily, I hope this will come true.

It is definately a change at first, but you really need to give them time to heal . My saline implants have been deflated and my breasts improve everyday. It's only been a couple of weeks. Some women say they are still improving months after Explant.

Thank you Livehappy. Yes, I have read that, too. They can improve up to one year and some women say they have noticed improvements even later.
Wow I think it is similar to the change after stopping nursing.
And I think it is really impressing from what our boobs and our stomach can recover ! Of course I will give it time, I still remember my pregnancy with my son (4,7 kilo). He was and he is still a little giant.
I'm glad that you notice improvements, how are you ? Is everything OK, are you satisfied with the ongoing development or are you feeling blue ?

its a little roller coaster ride because of coarse i want to be healed immediately. i had a rupture then decided to have the other side drained for symetry. i still need surgery to get the shells out and am waiting on consults. my left side seems to have more damage than the right . just wish i had them completely out so i can heal.

Yep. They shrink!

Be Yourself

cateyesger
by Ellen Bailey

Why would you want to be someone else
When you could be better by being yourself
Why pretend to be someone you are not
When you have something they haven't got

Cheating yourself of the life you have to live
Deprives others of that only which you can give
You have much more to offer by being just you
Than walking around in someone else's shoes

Trying to live the life of another is a mistake
It is a masquerade; nothing more than a fake
Be yourself and let your qualities show through
Others will love you more for being just you

Remember that God loves you just as you are
To Him you are already a bright shining star
Family and friends will love you more too
If you spent time practicing just being you
