41 Yo. Saline Under Muscle Implants Removed and Tummy Tuck with MR and Lipo - Edmonton, AB

Hi all! I am 41 yo and have had 280cc saline under muscle implants for 18 years. I'm super nervous to write a review but all of your pictures and stories have given me so much hope. I've truly loved my implants for 17 years. No one can tell they are fake and people are shocked when I tell them. I was a AA before BA and was initially a full c small d. After having and nursing 4 kids I'm now a DD. they are too big and I feel like they make me look extra heavy. I've gained some weight but even when the weight is off they are still DDs. The ps thinks I'll have about a b cup. I'd be happy with that. My biggest concern is the sagginess. When I saw the ps I told him I thought my implants had bottomed out. He kindly pointed out that no, my implants right where it should be I actually have a double bubble and my natural tissue is hanging over the implant, um, lovely! I really don't want a lift but I'll wait a year and see how things look.

I've never had any issues with my implants. They feel pretty soft and squishy but I feel like I'm just waiting for something to happen. It's time for a mammogram and I'm picturing POP POP!!! I know it's either time to replace or remove and since I don't want to deal with them anymore it's time to say goodbye. My only complaint has been neck and shoulder pain and constant muscle tension headaches. The headaches have become a daily obstacle since my boobs grew. Not fun! The ps suggested waiting til they rupture but I do not want 18 yo saline leaking in to my body. Yuck!!

I've also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. They really clear up when I eat a clean whole food diet so I can't really say if the implants are responsible or not. Maybe I won't be so sensitive to everything after. Who knows. I'll just be happy if the headaches improve.

I'm also getting a tummy tuck, mr and lipo. Four kids and lots of fries took their toll. I'm nervous about the recovery from the tummy tuck but more nervous about the explant results. I hope I'm not so drugged up that I can't appreciate the light feeling of having the weight off my chest.

I have lots of support and help so hopefully all will go well. 4 more sleeps.

I'll try to post pictures but they're all upside down right now.

It's official.. I'm a total wreck. Bladder infection, antibiotics and dry heaving for two days. The infections cleared up but my nerves are killing me. I'm staying at my MILs house for ten days and not going to see my kids. I'm worried I'm not packing everything I need. Ugh. I bought my kids ten little gifts. One for each day I'm gone. I don't want them to see me looking so rough. Four boys ages 10, 6, 5 & 3. My mom flies in tonight and is staying for 3 weeks. I'm so thankful.

I'm truly not nervous about the breasts. It's the tummy tuck recovery. I'm excited to get my implants removed. Hopefully I can ignore them for a few days while things recover. I am worried about wrinkles. The Dr assured me my stomach skin is not an indication of what my boob skin will do. I'm praying he's right. I'm also praying he's right that I've got about a b cup. I hope I'm not in denial. If I can't stand my wrinkly stomach why do I think I'll be fine living with wrinkly boobs? I guess a tummy tuck doesn't scare me as much as a lift. cutting my nipples off does not feel like an option I'm willing to pursue. But I guess time will tell. If they look like 41 year old boobs that have survived 4 pregnancies and nursed them all I guess that's reality.

Well...hoping to be flat everywhere tomorrow. Goodbye stomach muffin top and boob muffin top. Don't think I'll be spilling out of any more bras.
Oh by the way. My husband is here for the surgery and then leaving on a fishing trip. Yup. Really. It's probably better. He's such a worry wart he'd drive me crazy. He'd be nagging me to call the Dr for anything and everything. He'll be better off fishing.

One more sleep!! (Dry heave!)

Yippie! I survived and I'm doing well. Little loopie from the meds. My boobs feel nice and soft and small. I haven't dared to look yet except from the top. There's actually a nice handful there. As soon as I get pics I'll share. Before surgery I asked the ps if he thinks I'll want a lift and he said no. I hope he's right. But he did say healing will take up to a year.

My hubby is amazing. He went and bought me an electric recliner to live in for the next while. He offered to cancel his fishing trip but I'm actually doing better than I thought I would be so I told him to go. I thought I would have boob drains but the ps decided I don't need them. That's a relief.

I'll post pics soon.
