breast implant removal no replacement or uplift
WORTH IT
hi ladies it's day 4 of my recovery.
All went well in surgery and I was home that afternoon I had breast implant removal only, no lift, no replacement.
I can only say now I have made the right decision. I'm still a bit sore and won't be getting stitches out for another 10 days that being 14 days in total. I have been blessed with the outcome and still have a good size breast whilst they are a bit on the droopy side I really don't care. They sit comfortably in C bras. Which is another blessing as when I was in my 20s I was only an A cup. So in saying all that I have put on weight over the years now being 62kgs compared to 52 kg in my 20s and I'm sure this may have a big part of the contribution.
To know that I'm all natural soft and spongy and I never have to go through this again in my older age is fantastic. I feel the weight of the world lifted of my shoulder and I can't wait to be my old self and show them off.
I'm happy to answer any questions

It all started when I went for a mammogram and...
It all started when I went for a mammogram and ultra sound. I wish I had the ultrasound first as I'm sure it would of shown my implant wasn't ruptured. This mammogram was extremely painful in comparisment to others, anyway nor here nor there now. After many months of being depressed and scared of the outcome of what I was about to go through, wondering if my man would be sincere and love me still for who I am as he is a boob man, which also made it that much harder. Though he did always say to me during these months it's about how I will feel and what I want he just didn't want to see me depressed.He was right and that left me scared and petrified of the out come. How was I going to feel...I had visited at least 3 Drs with all of them asking me did I want to have them replaced. I said NO I can't imagine myself going through this again in my older age of 60- 70 that I will just have to deal with the outcome. I think the hardest thing about this was the fact that hardly anyone knew that I had them and I was going to be left flat chested again as I was in my 20s after 3 children an A cup then. I was trying to think of an excuse as to why all of a sudden I'm so small as I was a D Cup with implants. But after finding this sight and stalking it and reading every bodys outcome it gave more confidence.
I booked my surgery date 3rd of July 2015. My beautiful supportive daughter came with me the morning of my Explant, as we said good by I told her to say good bye to my puppies. She had a little giggle and said mum you will be fine and cuddled me.
As I layed on the bed tears came to my eyes thinking I'm going to be ugly and embarrassed of my body having 2nd thoughts but knew it was something I had to do. Here is a pic of before

Please share photos! I am in the same situation! I want to hear about your recovery. Did you have a lift as well? I am still surgeon shopping. I am in Southern California so there are so many surgeons here but I don't know who to select. I am so scared of the pain factor but want these heavy things gone.
Hi Hun,the main question to ask is have they done implant removal before and how long has he been doing it for. The other question is will he be cutting the old scar out and removing from where there where original was put in, as you don't want another added scar. I'm recovering well and are very happy with the out come I was very blessed to end up with a C cup bra, I don't know how because I was originally an A cup. I will be be posting pics shortly. I wish you all the luck in the world.
Ps instead of wasting time and money ring the receptionist,she should know those answers to your questions

Ask to see photos of the work they've done and if possible, can you speak to any of their former patients? You might also get the names of recommended PS on this site too.
So far when I have called to make appointments, they all ask "you do mean explanation and replacement, correct?" Which makes me sad. NO. I just want him gone, why would I do this to myself again?!
