Hi everyone. Thank you so much for sharing all of your stories. They have given me strength to do what I've been wanting to do for so long. I have had over the muscle saline implants 390cc with capsular contraction. I have seen Dr. IRA Rex today for my primary consultation and immediately felt comfortable with him. We spoke regarding the procedure and decided together that keeping it simple was best. We are going to do an implant removal in the office under local. We will try to leave the capsule for now and then we revisit things within a year. Will post pictures soon. Procedure is scheduled for aug 31st !

Read your comments on my review. I think your results with explanting will be very good. You will be thrilled when this is done! It's so freeing.

I am excited. Your comments and pics have helped me so much. I am so grateful to the ladies that have posted their stories. I know that after is going to be mentally tough but I keep thinking of how wonderful it will feel for my 8 yr old daughter to lay next to me on the couch and not feel these hard boobs between us!

Capsular contraction has a very high accuracy by subglandulary (over muscle) placed implants, and almost none by completely submuscular placed implants. Wish you the best on your journey!

Yes I wish I had known that before BA. I was young and dumb and didn't research or ask questions

Don't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault, it was your PS's that he/she haven't explained to you to pros and cons between the two. I researched extensively 9years prior to my first BA and even that wasn't enough to avoid all complications, now an other 9 years later I'm much wiser and really hope that there won't be anymore problems, but nobody can guarantee that either:-/ xo

I started with A cup perky breasts that looked like deflated balloons after first pregnancy. Went to D cups with BA. 18 yrs later and total of 3 pregnancies...I weigh 20lbs more. I was still able to breast feed but had terrible issues with mastitis. Kids are now older. I hate hugging them with these rocks. Makes me want to cry

You're story is almost identical to mine. My left breast has cc grade 3 and is 1cm higher than my right. I'm having them removed tomorrow under general. Will post pics after. X

I totally get you on this. The side hug really stinks. I want to just love up my grandkids, and instead I do the lame side hug. :-(

Getting emotional

Want2bsmall
Yesterday I had a small emotional breakdown in the shower. Started thinking how close I am to being who I was so many years ago. The reason I got these implants was because my husband 6 years into our marriage cheated on me. I thought how am I supposed to start a new life with a child and droopy boobs no one's going to want me. Needless to say 7 years later I ended that marriage but I still had the implants. It wasn't until I found this site last year that I even thought this was possible! I feel like I'm going to be so much more confident flat chested than I have ever been with these large boobs that I've been hiding for 18 years!

Don't worry, you won't be flat chested at all. Most of us gained a lot of tissue in the years since our BA. Your body has the amazing ability to heal itself and what it needs most from you now is a large dose of self love. It's so easy to doubt ourselves when we have a crushing blow like you did with your husband cheating, but now you have that self love because you are confident enough to explant. I feel like I look so much better now and I enjoy feeling real, like a genuine person and not a fake. You will feel better, too, and we are all here to help you through your emotions, with whatever comes up for you.

So true. I gained a lot of tissue and am a C cup after having the removal.

I also gained a lot of tissue since I first got the implants in 1991. I was a size AA . Now that I removed the implants I'm a large B. Dont be discouraged I'm sure you're going to look great and im positive you'll feel amazing! :-)

I am considering to remove implants. Have them for 16 years now. My husband does not care that it is uncomfortable and painful for me. I hate them!!! I had it done for my husband mainly. Now I don't care. I cannot let him to touch me. It disgusts me. He does not care about my feelings. He cares about his d....
