I had my first implants in 1990. They were small and looked fine but somehow in 1996 I decided I wanted to go bigger. I know that the implants are saline and under the muscle but I am not sure of the actual cc amount. I have had lots of back and neck pain along with odd ailments, feeling icky for no reason. Perhaps I have been living with an immune response and just made excuses. I have been wearing minimizer bras in public and have to wear 2 sports bras to run. The weight is too much and I just want to be au natural. I began my explant path with a local PS who told me that I had little to no natural breast tissue and that I needed a smaller implant and a lift in order to be happy. I took some time and researched here the before and after pics and I am now only interested in explanting. If I am unhappy in 6 months I will consider a lift but for now I am hoping that my body adjusts. I refuse to listen to that PS because I will be ahoy with being natural. I have a consult in 2 days.

Explant set for August 28!
I saw Dr. Atagi and what a relief! She was funny and soooo nice! She said I should look great and that there is no scar tissue. No capsulectomy and no drains! Music to my ears! I will post a pic soon of how they look now.

Your implants (like many on here) look heavy and too large for your frame. I'm so excited for you as the countdown is on and I look forward to your updates once you are on the other side! My explant will be about 2 weeks after yours (9/15) and I can't wait!

I'm 66 and my bikini days are over my breast size is 38D way too big for me now. I am thinking about removing them. They have turned hard and I just had a mammo and it was unpleasant. I'm looking forward to the removal, does insurance cover this procedure?

We're about the same age (I'm 44), and I got my saline, under the muscle implants in 1996 and had them removed last December. I identify with what you're going through. You'll feel so much better once they're out. It's a great feeling to be natural again. Good luck!
