Hi Ladies!!! Where do I start? I've read so many of your reviews. I can't even begin to explain how much you all have helped me.
When I was a young 22, I decided that I needed implants to make my body more proportioned. I felt a bit insecure and thought implants were the fix. From about the month after my BA, I felt my breast were too large. I wanted to be a C cup but ended up a giant D. To start with a 34A and end up at a large D was pure shock. I cried and felt hopeless. I eventually adjusted and stopped thinking about it. I dressed to hide the giants instead of show them off. It has always been clear to my friends and family that I'm unhappy with the attention I get. So, now at almost 31 and a married/ mother of two, I've finally it's time to bid these fake and toxic bags good bye. I'm ready for natural me. I want to be able to run and play with my kids and not be in pain.
So, I've done months of research and I've decided on a doctor and a date! I couldn't be any more excited.
*Pre BA I was a 34A and now I'm a 34 full D. My implants are submuscular, Mentor high profile, 500cc's. For my 5'6 frame,122lbs, they're too big!

I'm glad you found a supportive doctor and have started this journey back to the natural you. It sure sounds like you're ready for it. Please keep us posted!

I've seen great results without lifts, your breast will contract back and a lift may cause more problems I would see how they healed first.

I just had mine out 9 days ago after only having them 17 weeks. My dr. gave me an internal lift with the explant (because he wanted to make sure the lift he gave me with the implants held up) and honestly I look like I have teen breasts! SO excited! They look completely different and so much better than before implants!! BUT they are smaller than they were before, because with my implants, I also had a reduction on one side (because my left was always 1cup size bigger than my right). My dr. did tell me before hand that I would be pretty sore after the explant because of getting the internal lift, and I was. But now at day 9, I'm feeling great! Good luck!!!!

Thanks so much for the feed back. I'm definitely getting a lift. I'm feeling very confident with my decision. I'm nervous over the pain but it will be worth it! Congrats on your amazing outcome! I'm thrilled for you.

thank you for posting. I downsized my 450s so I know the 500 are big. We are same dimensions. The good thing about explant is that you can always get a smaller implant if you change your mind down the road.

The days can't go by fast enough! I'm so anxious to be implant free. I feel like a stalker on this site but reading all of these stories keeps me excited and optimistic.

My PS office mailed me the paperwork for my labs so that finally made this feel real and like the ball is rolling! I'm going to try and post pics in the next day or two.

Hi Ladies! All right, well, I now have the funding in line and it appears I may be able to get the procedure done sooner than my Oct 27th date. I'm thinking about Oct 6th. All of the sudden, I am nervous! I was cool, calm and collected up until the idea of a sooner date and now funding is ready. I'm very excited but boy, these nerves!!! Also, how am I to tell my boss about needing the time off? My boss is a male and I'm not wanting to give too many details... How much notice should I give?

Hi there, I'm happy that you have found the site too!! I also felt like a stalker!! When I requested time off for work I just said that it was necessary "female" surgery. Most men don't like to talk about that so hopefully it would end the discussion of why. I don't believe it's any of their business why your requesting time though.
