5o and Want my Silicon 250's Out! - Denver, CO

I'm 50 and have had my 250cc silcon gel implants for 9 years. I'm 5'2' weighed 115lbs at surgery. PS implanted under the muscle and did a "mini lift" supra-Aerolar Tuck. Basically lifted the nipples up a bit. I have felt these implants were too large for my frame from the beginning. If only these types of sites were available 9 years ago. I should have had a lift. I nursed by my kids each for a year, one favored my left breast therefore the aerolar is a bit larger! So basically they sucked the happiness out of my breasts! BUT would not trade that bonding for anything:) I met with a different PS a year ago and she said I would have to have a lift and smaller implants. I was disappointed as the price was also expensive. Fast forward to current. I have gained 15 lbs since my surgery. I now am a 34DD! I look matronly, and feel as though they add 10lbs to my appearance! No tops fit me, I'm unable to jog, when I walk for exerciseI have to "double buckle" the girls. You ladies have inspired me beyond words! I have a consult Monday and Thursday! My husband of 26 years is completely supportive of my decision. I want my implants removed at the fold and I want this done under local! I know they will be saggy, but I know I will happily embrace them, they will be Flatulous. I'm also really looking forward to taking a full deep breath without the bags pressing into my lungs. A few questions for you experienced Explant gals: I was told a year ago that I didn't have capsular contracture, does the PS remove the pocket or leave it in? I know I shouldn't care, but did alot of people recognize what you did? I'm not sharing this with anyone.

Hello Ladies,
Had my second consult this morning! Really liked the PS and his staff! He is recommending Local with IV sedation. Thinks the sugary will take 45 minutes. Doesn't think I have calcification based on how my breast feel. therefore will not remove my capsules. However, that can always change once he gets in there. If he doesn't remove my capsules he will not need to put drains in. He was also encouraging and feels that with the mini lift I had 9 years ago and the add'l natural breast tissue from my weight gain that I should be pretty happy with the results! Yay! Meeting with my next PS thursday. Would definitely go with the PS i just saw depending on what I learn Thursday! He can fit me in Mid May!!!!

Hello Ladies! Had my 3rd consult this morning! REALLY liked this PS and staff! She is rated one of the Top Docs in Denver! They had a surgery cancellation next Thursday, so one week from today!!!! So very excited to have these implants removed and be natural again. She also said it didn't feel like I had calcification so she will leave in the pockets and most likely I will not have drains:) So happy to get this done before summer, it will be nice to not be bulging out of my tops and have a swim top/suit fit me! Funny how consumed I was to get them and now I think I'm more consumed with getting them out of me! She did say, through menopause (2 years post now) and weight gain I have some breast tissue. I don't want to much I want small natural breasts. This will be just the motivation I need to take my body back and nurture ME. Only thing left to do is find a nice front zip compression bra. She did say if I can find molded cups it will help with the natural appearance after the skin/tissue has retracted! Her patient coordinator said Victoria Secret has some nice athletic zip fronts or Nike makes a good one! YAY! Thank you all for your encouragement and sharing your stories. Also, I found it very helpful and educational to watch a few removals on youtube. I know it sounds crazy, but there are several very accredited docs that have the procedure up, check it out if you can stomach it! Cheers to having the weight lifted off my chest and giving lots of soft hugs:)
