I booked my appointment this morning to have my 12 year, saline implants removed and not replaced. I anticipate great relief. My pockets are under the muscle and are too far under my arms causing a great deal of movement. I have been uncomfortable for quite some time and really dont like the way I look anymore, I feel it has made me look very wide! My husband is very sad. I am worried about him and that he wont be attracted to me, yet I fell so burdened by these stupid implants, I keep praying for trust in myself that my relief and joy will be sexy to him. I have read so many of the testimonials on this website that it is comforting to know there are so many women out there with very similar stories. Thanks, I'll keep you posted

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf! I do hope your husband gets on board and supports you through this. I loved "...that my relief and joy will be sexy to him." How could it not be? You sound beautiful inside and out and we are here for you through this journey!

Congratulations on taking your life back!! You will not regret your choice to have them removed. I just got my explanted last Monday and my husband thinks I look BETTER now. He said the implants made me look unnatural since my frame is very small. Hubby said I look healthier and more proportioned. Your husband will still be attracted to you...you will still be the same beautiful you, just natural and feeling better! Keep me posted and many blessings!

Good for you! I thinking of having my 13 day old implants removed. My husband is not happy. He was so excited about me having big boobs (not that they were even small before) he's barely talking to me now

Your hubby can sleep with the implants after you have them removed. ;-) Do what's right for you!
May 11, 2013
Haha love that! He might have to start sleeping with the sample one I still have NOW if he doesn't start showing some support!

Yep, exactly! This is about you and your body, not him. :-)

Im so sorry! I too was shocked that my husband wasnt excited, it made me wonder what Ive been believing all of these years. I feel determined to prove social staus quo wrong that flat chested women arent sexy, confident and beautiful. I believe that our men will be all right if we are. So best of luck to you. Keep us posted!

Hi all, I keep waking up in a panic, I am 1 week out before my surgery to have my implants taken out. I think I am scared to be flat chested and I am worried about the $ I am spending, not to mention that my hubby still is not on board. mmmmm

Be confident that all will be well. I am incredibly pleased with my results and also so relieved to know that my body is now natural and healthy.

Ive got 5 more days, this friday is the big day. I could use lots of prayers. Most worried about the immediate days following the procedure. I am hoping the light feeling will outweigh the shock of being flat chested. Ill keep you posted

I go tomorrow for a 4 oclock appointment. My ride bailed on me and Ive had the worst neck ache/ back ache for about a week. I already rescheduled my appointment because of work, and now I am questioning my timing. but I am hell bent on doing it anyway. I feel like I am living a dream. Wish me luck tomorrow. I'll update it my status asap
