Like so many, I have been reading RS for several months and love seeing and reading about so many peoples experiences. I decided to add to it, to help others. I feel like my story is like so many others... I gained way to much during pregnancies~70+lbs, had 4 c-sections, finally lost almost all the baby weight 10 more to go. Currently 140, 5'4", 36 yrs old.
I got implants when I was 24. I was an A and had a big butt, thick thighs and was encouraged by the women in my family to get them but my husband was against it but supported whatever I wanted to do. I got saline implants, a small Natural looking C. I finally looked proportional and loved them for the first 6 years and then after nursing the first 2 babies one developed capsular contracture and was hard as a rock to the point of not sleeping on that side or stomach. I didn't want to correct it till I was done having kids. I am done 6 years later. I planned on replacing them but I have now have a daughter and want to be a better example for her and not make her feel she needs big boobs. I wish I had never gotten them. So, after reading all the Explant stories on here, I want them removed and not replaced, for sure . If it wasn't for the contracture I probably would not have any surgery and would just live with saggy boobs and disgusting stomach. But I have to have these old hard implants taken out so why not fix it all. I decided on just having them removed and a lift but when having my consult, PS suggested a fat transfer, and I loved that idea. If I am fixing the boobs, then I might as well fix my stomach too. So explant, lift, fat transfer, and full tummy tuck. I will have my old preprego body back!
So, it is set for Nov. 18th. I am having all those feeling of doubt-scared, selfish,worried, ect....
I am a little obsessive and once I lock onto something I think of nothing else till it is done, I am ready to get this over with so I can move on with the new/old me.
I will add pics later.

Choosing a Dr.
4me4kidsOctober 28, 2014
I live in Fl, but using a Dr in Al., Dr. F. He put my implants in and did a great job. He made them look natural which is what I wanted. I had an appointment to see a PS in PCB but after seeing Dr.F, I cancelled my consult in PCB. I know everyone suggest having consults with at least 2 but I know DrF work and he has a great reputation. The PS in PCB has a great website and awesome realself reviews but I don't know anyone that has used him. I know my PS comes highly recommended so I hope he does his best work on me.

If you've found your doc, you've found him. As long as you're clear on what you want and you know your doc can give you those results, what everyone else recommends is not your style :) You'll be on the flat side before you know it!!!
