Hi everyone. Thank you all for reading my forum and going thru this journey with me. When I was about 20 years old I was so excited to get breast implants. I was fit but curvy and I felt i needed the extra curves on top. I was barly a small C cup. I am a total extremist and everything I do always have to be over and above. So when I got my breast implants I wanted the biggest she could do. I was a large D cup. Two years go by and they were not big enough for me. So again, I go back under the knife for even bigger implants. Then I was a large 36DDD. Both sets of implants were over the muscle. Cause I liked the "round look". I was young and skinny and they looked great on me at that time.
Well now I am a 37 year old wife and mother of 2 boys. I am much much thicker (we dont say fat) lol. I feel ridiculous with these objects in my chest. Its amazing, the older you get, when you have a large chest all of a sudden you appear older and heavier. I started noticing in pictures that I just looked huge and old. It was because of my enormous chest. Then I started looking online at breast implant removal and I saw that I liked all the small breasts the best. I thought the small breasts were so much more attractive. Now, when I look at people on tv with small "barley there" breasts they are acually more appealing to me. Its amazing how tastes change so drasticly!
I havent had any medical problems with the implants, just mild rippling. They are so uncomfortable and heavy. Im over it!
I want to share my journey with my fellow explanters and do this together. Its so cool I feel like I have a huge group of friends all going thru the same thing. Love you all and thank you for all of your storys courage and just learning to love the skin we are in!

Right isent that weird? Yea with large breasts I now relate them to age and being fat, and small breast to youth and being fit. So weird cause large breasts always always appealed to me. Where and how did this change happen, I have no idea. Prior in my life I thought, the uncomfort of the implants is just worth it...so I deal! Now I wishi could just remove them myself cause they gross me out. I feel ridiculous large and old. Im obsessing over it. Lol I just keep thinking ok my appointment is not untill April, the positive side is that I can lose weight in the time that I have. But who am I kidding. Im always trying to lose and it seems impossable. Lol.

That I am going to also get a lift and fat transfer. They are going to use ssome fat cells from my inner thigh via: lipo.
I probably wont see any change in my thighs because they dont have to use that much. My goal is to have small tiny bobbies. I want to sit without a bra and not feel like there laying on my belly. Lol
When I sleep now I have to put a pillow in between by breasts to avoid the "pulling feeling". I really look foward to laying on my side and my 2 breasts dont touch and squeeze together... ahh that will be awsome!

Cause I already have a surgeon lined up. But let me tell you shopping for a doctor to explant your implants is like going out to buy a car!
Just a consistent case of disappointment!
After almost every consultation my time was left crying in my car.
Every doctor was like over an hour away! I heard everything from ... that "I will not like what my breasts look like if I just remove them", to "no I dont do fat transfer", to "yea, but it will cost you $15, 000!.
It was just one thing after another.
I know that the pain that I felt with all the disappointments with the ps is nothing that I will have to deal with post op.
But yea, it was a nightmare. Thank god that search is over! Now the ps that I chose is 30 min from me and im really confident with him. He was my first choice the whole time. :)

I'm so glad you're starting your story here with us and that you found a doctor you're comfortable with! I agree with you about liking smaller breasts. Some of the women I see in the breast aug communities who are about to augment their perfectly lovely breasts makes me want to beg them not to. But everyone is different and, like you said, a lot of women like larger breasts when they are younger, and some for their whole lives.

Not feeling all that discomfort will be wonderful for you. I'll be following your journey!

Finding the right surgeon can be a nightmare! The one who did my implants had the worse bed side mannor but I was to young to realize that I deserved to be treated like a person and not a "job." I'm glad you are not making that mistake :)

Yea it is so hard to find the right ps! Well im still pre-op so I will just have to trust that i am making the right desision that he is the right one. It just sucks cause everyone I read on here gets appointments within a month or so..... my ps was booked untill April! I have a countdown on my phone, I still have 92 days! I hate waiting. I really just want them out.

I had the same experience... Every doctor tried to convince me to leave them in and just go down in the implant size. I wonder why they are so eager to not explant? I heard the exact same thing... "you wont like your breasts afterward" I finally said Ef it... and just did it :D

January 27, 2014
Yea the ps I'm actually going with almost had me convinced to get really small implants! What the he'll was I thinking, 2 days later I called back and told him no! Who knows, Mabry it's easier to do for them. It's crazy!

I read this a lot about PS wanting to replant, so I was prepared when I went to see my PS. But both of them never mention or suggested it. The first one just couldn't understand why I wasn't happy with them and kept asking me" You aren't happy with them" lol the 2nd one say ok no biggie, we will take them out, if your not happy come back and we will put them back in. lol
