No Revision...Explanting Instead

I couldn't believe that my last update was over a year ago, and that I have been unsatisfied with my implants for so long. After a lot of careful consideration and research, I have decided to just remove my implants. For more info on that journey, you can see my Breast Implant Removal post.

Honestly they look perfect for you. They don't look big at all just a nice size. Sorry that you're not happy.

3 Years Post-Op

I didn't realize my account was still active here, and thought I would post an update since I came back to RealSelf to do research for a revision.
My last update was only a few months after the surgery, and I think I was still in that "honeymoon" phase. My stats remain relatively the same, including my 32D bra size, unfortunately. After 3 years, I can definitively say that they are too big for me, and I am looking into a revision. Not only are the implants just a bit too big, but they dropped so much, and are quite bottom heavy.
I am also dealing with lasting numbness on one side, and have accepted that I may never get total feeling back. It was a risk I knew about, but never thought it would happen to me. My doctor was great, but I will be shopping around a bit more for a revision to hopefully get smaller implants.
Overall, I don't regret my first implants; just hoping the second time around I will have some better results.

Update

Hi everyone,
As you can see, I've removed almost all of my pictures, mainly because I don't feel that this site is secure enough to prevent them from being found. I'll try to compensate for the lack of pictures by being very detailed...

Time: Two months/9 weeks
Size: Mentor, 250 cc, Moderate Plus Silicone
Stats: 5'3" 110 lbs
Upgrade: From 32A to 32D!!! WTF haha
Activity: Full-I am doing workouts with resistance bands and lift up to 20lbs every day due to my job. I am able to sleep on my side and stomach, although I'm usually a back sleeper.
Healing: Implants are still dropping and fluffing, and getting softer. I have no pain, but I do have a lot of numbness, which is getting annoying. My left breast is numb around the incision only, but my nipple sensitivity has changed (not in a good way). My right breast is about 75% numb, and feels really strange when I touch it.
Incisions: I'm a slow healer and tend to scar, so my incisions are still bright red and visible. I use cocoa/shea butter daily and occasionally use silicone strips. I'll probably have scars at the end of this, but at least they are straight and smooth!

Final Thoughts: Some days I feel like the implants are way too big, and other times I am surprised to still fit in my XS shirts. I don't regret the surgery or my size choice because I felt going too small would be worse than going a bit too big. However, I would advise people considering this surgery not to get too carried away with going bigger. I also don't blame my PS at all and would recommend him--I got an amazing result, the recovery wasn't difficult, and so far I have had no complications. I am eager for the numbness to go away and to completely heal in the next few months.

Having larger breasts has also inspired me to really work out more to firm up my lower body so I can finally move from a pear shape to an hourglass! Unexpectedly, my confidence level did not increase as much as i thought it would. I still feel like I need to fix things about myself; implants just gave me one less thing to fix.

I'm thinking of also doing a post bout things I wish I had prepared for/thing I should have asked my PS. If you all have a question, let me know so I can answer it!

Hey would you mind posting a before and after? My surgery is this Friday and I'm still on the fence about 250 or 225 mentor mod+. Or email if you don't want them no this site? If you can that would be super helpful thank you !!

I have just done my BA a few days ago. Mentor 225cc moderate+ obviously I’m still swollen so notbeing able to post a photo here, I was wondering if the size for me would be too small or just fine as I have 34A before surgery.
