So... To start off, I should tell you that like most of you ladies I have wanted a breast augmentation for several years. I never had breast development underneath my breasts, and it had always caused self esteem issues because I was so small chested without the full development. Before my breast augmentation I was a small 38B. Yes 38 band size... I'm also 5'2 and weigh 175 pounds. After I had my first child I weighed 135 pounds, but I kept gaining weight through the years for no apparent reason (no change in diet/exercise). To make that long story short, I have/had PCOS and just recently found out after my breast augmentation!
Going back to the beginning of my breast augmentation... My PS and I decided on 700cc silicone round implants due to my larger body frame. I was so nervous and chalked it up to pre-op nerves. I had wanted this for so long and was finally getting my dream boobs! After all I'm a large framed woman with small breasts!
The surgery went well, everything was great for the first couple of weeks. I had the normal soreness, barely any bruising at all, the size was right on it fit my body shape perfect, and they were dropping decent.
Until about week 5! I noticed that one breast had dropped a lot lower than the other, and had a sharp point on the under part that seemed to be the implant crunched up!
I was extremely upset. That's when the worry really set in. I wanted the alien objects out. What had I done? I immediately made an appointment with my PS. He confirmed my implant was crunched. I had the options of fat transfer to put more cushion in front of the point, or not do anything for now to see how it goes.
I'm at month 5 now, and I feel bruised around the point area, I have worry that loomes over me constantly, they are both completely dropped with one obviously lower than the other, and they still feel alien to me. I still wear a bra to bed!
At this point, I am totally thinking of having an explant done. I feel ridiculous for wasting my money, but in the end my peace of mind is more important. Luckily, I have an amazing husband that is completely supportive of me no matter what I do. He likes the implants (I do too to some extent), but he says my overall health and happiness is most important! I'm calling PS to inquire about an explant asap. I feel so stupid for wasting so much money on such vain reasons, but I was unhappy with my breasts before. All I seen when I looked in the mirror was a small chested chubby woman. I should've just took some time to learn to love myself... I thought a piece of silicone would make me love me??? I honestly felt happier then because there wasn't so much worry, and now that I know I have PCOS I don't feel so bad for having under developed breasts in the first place. It was me, and I should have loved me.
Sorry for my rant, but I had to share my story. I hope that I can get an explant and be happy with it.

Your story hits home for me! I, too, had a similar experience. The lower pole of my breasts never developed, which is why I got implants in 2012. I got smaller ones than you, 300cc. Over time, my left side has dropped due to lack of tissue, which has caused it to be painful and 'foreign.' I met with my PS a week ago to schedule an explantation! I feel stupid for wasting my money on the implants, but I have learned to LOVE my body! I'm excited to see what I will look like after my explant (good or bad!! :) ) Did you get end up getting an explant???
I'm glad you are blessed with three children and that you are aware of your PCOS. I'm grateful you took the time to share your very important story. Wishing you the best and perhaps we'll see you soon in the breast implant removal community with a new review. Please keep us posted!
