I've had zero problems with my implants or my health. I simply wanted removal because I was over having large breasts after 13 1/2 yrs with implants. ???? I've been wanting removal for about 5 years. Not to say there hasn't been concerns on what would I look like without them: would they be saggy, smaller than before, etc. overall though I think the reward of not having breasts too large for my body is worth it. I'm not saying I'll never get implants again. But if I do they will be a much smaller implant than 475 cc on a 120lb, 5'3" frame with a previous breast size of 32 B. After implants a 34 DD. I was ok with this size when I was in my 20's living in Vegas. Unfortunately most of the world has more realistic size breast so this made me feel uncomfortable at times, especially the many comments from friends on my huge Tata's.
Now I'm 20-25lbs heavier, possibly some of that being my body trying to compensate for my large breast and the other just age. I'm hoping to return to 130lbs post explant. I was advised by my original surgeon that I may gain weight after implants. I did! Within a year I had gained 10lbs. I worry very hard at keeping my weight between 120 and 130 for 10 yrs. I've let that slip a little the past 2 yrs but it's time to get back to the real me, the one I'm comfortable with.

Dr Leigh and his staff were very efficient. I wouldn't call it overly friendly (which can come off as insincere) but not unfriendly either. The process was explained simply and my concerns were addressed. I feel well taken care of and so far am very happy with my results. My nurse, Lindsey was great and Dr Leigh seemed genuine and professional.

I have a lot of friends with implants and none of us gained any weight, I actually loosed 20 pounds because I was motivated to do so to give them even more bigger proportion to my body. It's absolutely fantastic when I'm on a diet fat goes everywhere but my breasts stay the same more that they even look bigger to the rest of my body. So gaining weight is psychological, u have bigger breasts so if the rest of your body does too then it isn't so dramatic as u were small chested so u get comfortable and let go your dietary principles. So pls stop blaming the implants for your own faults ladies, of course it's a free country so do as you please with your own body just stop spreading unjustified rumors about breast implants. Good luck and best wishes to your recovery!
