WORTH IT$7,800

I am a singer/ entertainer and have made a living with a curvy body. Now at 50 I only want to be natural again and love myself the way God made me. I first got implants in 1990, I had a new set of implants put in in 1997 and now after 23 years of implants in my body I just want them out. I fill like they are heavy and frankly draw the wrong kind of attention. I have realized that I simply cannot wear certain tops and dresses because it looks too suggestive and sexual. I miss running, and riding my horses without my boobs boucing everywhere. My skin is getting alittle bit thinner and I see that every year my breast sag a tad more. I miss my slim athletic build. So, here I am now sharing my adventure with you lovely ladies. I will post before and afters because I think they are neat to see. I love how the body adjust back. I am getting a lift as well, so I will have scars for a while I am told. I appreciate any and all support. Much Love, SongBirdie

Wow you look fantastic!! I would love to look like you after explant!! Do you think the lift was really what helped? Thanks

Hi Heather, Thank you! I really do think that at my age which was 50 when I got them out...the lift was a must. If your younger I do believe that the tissues bounce back given some time. The other factor that helped me is that I have been lifting weights and toning for the last 36 years. I have great muscle tone. Someone who is somewhat flabby would not have the same results. I haven't gone to your page, but if your younger and fit I think your results will be fantastic. I really love this site. It helped me so much when I didn't know where to turn. Have a wonderful Evening!!! :)

I am 49. Have had implants for 23 years. Explanting in August. I look forward to following your story. I'm super nervous about the whole thing and dreading the loss of my curves. But I know too much now to replace them. Im praying my health issues will resolve once they're out.

Some friends are asking why I don't get new implants in. Boyfriend is excepting me getting them out, but at first made a comment to leave them in for him at least for two more years so he could enjoy them. He now realizes how silly that is. I think. I am shooting a music video in one month and am alittle nervous. So many thoughts that rush through your head. It's amazing how getting them in was so much easier to deal with. Was it youth or ignorance? Both maybe. OK. that's all for now. I will take pic's of my breast tomorrow and post the befores. Good Night for now.

Mine are coming out in June, after 35 years, & I can't wait. Same reasons you have, just tired of them, skin thinner, can't exercise a lot, wearing different clothes now, miss atheletic build, Here in FL, the surgery in total will cost me $4700. Good luck, Verana.

I wanted to add that I had 240cc implants and my breast are a full C small D cup. I also wanted to say that back when I was 28 many of my girlfriends had implants because we were mudwreslers. That's why I did it because in the early 90's it was so cool to look that hot in a swimsuit. I always loved my tiny boobies until so many people kept telling me that my breast were too small for my frame. I look back now I I wish I could have loved myself enough to say "Hey, I'm beautiful just the way I am! Now, at 50 I can finally say it and believe it. I must say that I am nervous about getting knocked out and knowing the trauma that my sweet body will go through yet again just to remove the implants. I know that it's for the better good of my health and being. Do any of you girls have any advise for me, so I won't feel so nervous?
February 19, 2013
I was nervous also ... The anxiety leading up to it was awful but it was smooth!! I woke up and never really had pain. The next day I had a little burning around the incisions but very mild. By day 3 - no pain. As for lifting he said 4-6 weeks but he did say I can work out just can't do shoulders, chest or running. I need to start out slow. I can fully workout 4-6 weeks. I can wear a soft bra but not an underwire til 4 weeks. The way I looked at this- the pain having the implants done was awful.. Because we are putting in big plastic balloons in our chest! The surgery to get them out was much easier- maybe because our body is happy we are taking them out!!!! Thanks for the info on the inverted nipple- that's funny, I only have 1 inverted... So I would get 1 pierced.. We will see if I do it- I may just leave it be:)
February 18, 2013
I just got mine out Friday. Recovery is very easy. Feel great. They are a little saggy- deflated looking-I hope they do fluff up! I notice you have pierced nipples? I have an inverted nipple on my left breat-.i have heard getting it pierced can help that. How painful was that?

February 18, 2013
Hi Lido, If you just got your implants out Friday I would think that your breast will tighten up quite a bit. You asked out the pierced nipples and funny I had an inverted nipple and it popped it right out. It did hurt, but it is over with so very fast that you'll be fine. Just make sure you go to a very qualifed person because the placement is cruical. Also, make sure that they are extremely clean and that everything is sanitized. I asked around quite a bit before I did it. I paid about 50 dollars a nipple. :) Stay in touch and let me know how your recovery is going. I do mine on the 26th of this month. How long before you can lift things and work? Are you in pain right now? Thank you for writing.
February 18, 2013
I am ready to get mine out after 28 years, silicone over the muscle. I'm petite with 34dd+ breasts that are sagging due to changes post menopause. Painful right breast due to pulling of scar tissue, normal mamm and MRI but time for them to go. Having explant enbloc procedure with Dr. Feng soon. Good luck to you and all the ladies that want to be free.

Hi. Yes, being free is a good way of putting it. I look forward to hearing how everything goes and seeing your pic's. My surgery is in one week. I'll be taking pics right after. Love and Light to you little freebird.
February 20, 2013
Good luck. My surgery is April 12th. Keep me posted.

I just paid Dr. Younai today for my precedure which is one week away. Oh my! It's so close I am nervous and excited at the same time. I will take pic's as soon as I can after they are out. You know the more I think about it the more I realize that I got implants because the girls I knew as mudwreslers and actresses made more money and seemed to instantly get so much more attendtion then I ever did. Now looking back it's so ridiculous!!! I pray that other woman or girls at any age don't get on the hamster wheel of implants and surgery's. Once you get them it seems your either replacing them, fixing them or getting them out. Natural is the only way to go in my humble opinion. Everyone is beautiful in their own way!

Just four days from my surgery date. I'll be happy when this is all over. I am not that nervous anymore, now I am more excited at the thought of being small chested again. I will never look back. I wish more woman could read this site and give breast implants another thought before they put them in their bodies. I don't think anything foreign in the body is good for anyone. Well, I'll be posting pic's just as soon as I can after my surgery!

My thoughts are with you. The waiting until surgery date is so hard. I have my date...April 12th so I have a lot of time to anticipate how things will look afterwards...gives me time to read all the stories that everyone so graciously shares. I know this is the right decision for me and I can't wait to be implant free. Keep up the posts when you are up to it.

Hi Be Me, Your date of removeal is right around the corner. I'm just two and a half days away. I'm happy that I commited myself by paying the doctor and making the surgery date, if not one could potenially put this off indefinetly. I like you just want to feel my natural breast again. One of the things that I miss is warm breast. Have you ever noticed how cold your breast are with implants in them? Are you also having a lift? How long have you had them in? I think we are allowed to wash two days after the surgery so I guess that's when I'll take pic's of my boobies for all to see. You know I'm so happy that we have the option to take these out can you imagine if implants were irreversable? So far from all of the pic's that I have seen all of the woman look better with the implants. I look forward to hearing all about your experience so, keep me posted. Big Hugs. Birdie
February 24, 2013
You're right about the cold breast feeling...I'm so used to it I forgot! Also good mentioning that paying the doc solidifies the committment :) So many of the after pictures look better than the before pictures....encouraging. The doc said it takes a few months to settle back to normal...

Hi Songbirdie! Implants are heavy! You will realize just how heavy immediately after they are gone! I thought implants would make me feel sexier and attractive, but they just made me look heavier, wider, and saggy, and I had to buy clothing that was modest so I wouldn't look like a tramp letting it all hang out! You are right, getting implants is like getting on a hamster wheel! And it's so much scarier getting them out than in! But just wait until you feel your soft, warm, squishy boobs again. Such a lovely feeling! Good luck with your surgery and I look forward to seeing your results!
