Tired of the Fake Feeling - Alexandria, VA
ORIGINAL POST
Hi Ladies, I am 47 and would like my implants...
WORTH IT$4,999
Hi Ladies, I am 47 and would like my implants removed as well! I had them done in 2004 under the muscle, 350 + cc's! Like a few of you I am so tired of the fake feeling! Not to knock anyone else be I do regret gettingnthem in!
My concern is that my natural breast will look horribel afterwards. I have a scar on my left breast after a mastitis! :,
I've narrowed my search down to 2 doctors and plan on selecting one for the removal the first week of May! Although I am sure this is what I want, I really need support through this! I have the most amazing husband in the world who will see me through this, but he doesn't really understand what I am going through at this point!
Thanks for any words of encouragement! I promise to post pictures! Before and after!

I am scheduled for explant in a few days and have some of the same fears. I am really trying to focus on the benefits like:
Wearing most of the tops in my closet that are so cute, but have been too self-conscious to wear because of feeling too big.
Not wearing an extreme sports bra that feels like a vice when I run.
Losing a couple of pounds instantly!
Not noticing when another woman notices-if you know what I mean.
Being able to sleep on my stomach.
There are many more...
I'm convinced this will be hard, but it is also the right thing for some women. Good luck!

Not Looking Back, you should add these to the forum post Pros to have your implants removed.

Thanks so much responding, I see we have similar fears! I look forward to wearing my tops as well without feeling as though I am going explode out! My goal is to create "green temple"! It's ironic but I believe without the implants I will feel better about myself! ;) I am scheduled for 2 May - can't wait!
I pray that your surgery goes well and you will heal quickly! Keep me posted! P.s. losing a few pounds instantly sounds wonderful!

Hi Tamara and Not looking Back! I am so excited for you both. I just had my implant removal two weeks ago after having them for 22+ years. After so many years of problems, (capsular contractions with 3 revisions because of it), allergy problems and more, I am rejoicing that they are out:) I am 47 years old and was so worried with the outcome in the beginning because I am asian, very VERY tiny. I was a 30AAA 22 years ago with whopping 475CC implants! My doctor was shocked as to how well I've done post op no Mastopexy or lift. I do say that I work out a lot and am a group fitness instructor so hopefully that'll help my healing in not being so saggy. I am noticing a bit of buckling now but my doctor has pushed the skin up and taped them while securing my chest in a tight fitting girdle. Both Doctor and I are very happy with how I am healing. Hope my story has helped bring your worries down a bit. Of course no one can ever prepare you for how you look afterwards, as I was a bit taken back BUT I'm on my way to a healthier me, my husband loves ME for me, not what's in me, AND I'm ok with being flat as a pancake again! Well, I AM Asian and now prouder to be one!

lol! Committed to be fit you are awesome! Thaks so much for sharing your story with me! Like you am fortunate to have a husband that loves me for me! He's 9 yeaars younger so in the back of my head are cray thoughts which I try to make go away! But the bottom line is he love ME! Now I need to feel the same way! Thanks again for sharing! Happy healing!

That is so wonderful! Green Temple I am so happy for you to have a husband that is so supportive. It's so important to have that support system as this is a very emotional procedure to experience. Focus on how wonderful it'll be not worrying about mastitis, rupture, leaks, pain, having foreign objects in your body! No more of that soon:) I'll be praying for you and that the Lord heal you with a speedy recovery!

I just wanted to share more about my journey with implants. I originally got them in 1999. The first set were removed after I developed a matitis in 2002. Then I let my SIL convince me to ge them again with her and I did! Since then I was somewhat happy but always worried that they we just to big! After being sick with asthma and allergies I have decided to take anything out that was not causing "good" and yes the implants are part of that! They are not necessary and do not contribute to the greater good! I want to be whole and clean inside out and this is the beginning of my quest!

Hi tamara
I'm scheduled for 23 April, so a little before you. Very nervous too about how they will look visually. I've put my story on here somewhere, so take a look!
Will keep you updated. One week and a day to go!

I know the feeling, I have a scar on my breast from a mastitis which is part of the reason why I got the implants the second time. Regardless of that, I know that we are making the right decision for us! I will be praying for you that they will be beautiful! Keep me posted!

Good luck on your surgery and I can tell you that from just having one out it feels so much better! And it feels good to know we're never gonna have to replace them in the future and out our selfs trough more surgiers. Yay to us going back to natural and being healthy!

It sounds like an amazing quest. I'm really happy for you! I'm glad you've become part of this tight-knit group of ladies all supporting each other. Looking forward to reading more...
