So over the last year I've been researching the removal of my HP700cc saline implants. I'm just sick of them. They are toxic, heavy and inconvenient at this point. I can't ever find any bras that fit my cup and back size. Running, jogging or any other bouncing around is very uncomfortable. I'm in a place in my life where my health has become top priority and it's just time for these things to go! Well, I'm planning on getting a full breast lift in 6 months. In the meantime I happened to run across a post on Real Self from a member in my area that experienced a ruptured implant and subsequently had the intact implant deflated to match the ruptured one until she was ready to explanation both implants. She left great reviews on the surgeon who performed the deflation and that led me to schedule a deflation of both of my implants. I am scheduled for this upcoming Tuesday, 9/13/2016. I couldn't be more happy and excited. I will post before and after photos and update my journey. I will also update when I have the full anchor breast lift performed as well.

Good luck! Do they just do that with a needle?

Yes, they use a needle and syringe to remove the fluid. I thought that it was puncturing a hole and then letting the saline run out through a tube but they actually aspirated it one syringe at a time. I googled it and watched it performed on a YouTube video.

Interesting. I hope it went well!

So I'm really excited about tomorrow. I am so eager to have these things deflated that I'm not even worried about the flat pancakes I'm going to be left with. I know that the longer I am deflated the more I'll start to want the breast lift surgery. Right now I'm going to focus on getting fit and getting my weight in a good place before doing the lift. Counting down to deflation... 14 hours to go.

I'm ready to head in to get this procedure done. My husband is not too thrilled about it as he loves my large chest but he's being supportive because he knows how much getting this done means to me. I will be going alone and my hubby will be staying home with our 9 month old. I am going to wear a sports bra over the next week just to ensure comfort while healing from the needle pokes.
