It isn't worth it...

Time flies.

I finally was ready to explant.
Constant zapping pain.
Impossible to sleep.
Chest palpitations got painful which lead to the hospital and cardiologists who figured out I have PVC's
Vertigo came a few months after implants
Running is impossible
I was done...and then boom. We found out I was pregnant.

Now my son is 18 months and we are just about to ween and then these toxic pain bags will be gone.

I know I will be sad. I love how they look.
But it just isn't worth it. After I am done with babies I will get a lift.

I wish someone made me see a therapist for a few sessions before I went under the knife. I kept saying "this is for me" but reality was I hated my body. I cried in the shower washing my perfectly fine little boobs. I was obsessed with it and it messed with my mental health.

If you're thinking about this take some time...
I did the research.
I got a great surgeon and great results and it didn't fix the problem.
The problem was internal and now I have scars and pain and another 8k surgery to fix it.

Why do they look so much bigger in the last 2 pics? Also what did you find helped you love yourself the way you are?

A lot of ladies get in the habit of posting altered pictures on social media. There is a massive difference in size.

As time has gone on my skin has relaxed and allowed them to protrude more. Also gravity has helped them settle lower. Most of my photos were pretty early on. My finale measurement before pregnancy was a 32DDD.

As far as loving myself the way I am...im still working on it. But the implants wasn't it. It made me confident of my chest. But that was it. The love wasn't there, allowing my body to just be a human body wasn't there. I plan to meet with a therapist before I remove them and after to help me gracefully go through those body changes without hating myself.

Wow, the elephant in the room finally speaks. Love it. Thank you for saying what no doctor is going to say, but desperately needs to be heard by women with low self-esteem thinking bigger boobs will solve the problem. Thank you for your courage!

Girl you had to have gotten them even bigger than the one surgery or you are an miracle and need to be studied. Working in the industry for over 20 years you posted pics that were altered or you at some point increased the implants in size.

The down side...

Sleeping...is miserable.
I can't get comfortable and am in pain pretty often.
If I don't wear a bra it is uncomfortable and painful... I haven't bottomed out.
Some nerve damage or something, I get electric zaps and pain pretty consistently.
Tightness in chest feelings without CC.
And most recently I've had breathing difficulty and heart pains.
I want them out. I want to be able to rock climb and not be afraid if I slide on my chest I'm going to rupture them.
Im tired of the pain honestly. They're almost always uncomfortable.
They look great. Husband loves them.
But not worth it.
I'm praying my surgeon will remove them with as much detail as he out them in. I know they won't look "good" i will probably hate my chest for a while. But I'm tired of feeling this way. I can't be on pain pills 24/7.

Thanks for sharing your story. Did you finally explanted them? Or you have not decided yet?
I was almost ready for my BA but reading these comments of people that say it is not worthy and all the pain they have to suffer... I have serious doubts now :(

Hope you are feeling better :)

I was Just about to explant when we found out we were expecting my son. He is now 18 months and almost weaned and I am picking a surgeon to remove them. I have been diagnosed with premature ventricular contractions and vertigo since having them placed. Pain has only gotten worse. They look great but vanity isn't worth my life.
