I got implants 2008 and hated them immediately. It was super painful. I had a 32 a/b before implants and they looked fine. I was going through some hormonal issues and decided too quickly to get them pit in my body. It took awhile for me to actually get use to them. I figured I paid enough for them so I should keep them until they gave me problems. 7 years later they would ache and I would have pain underneath the implants. I have swollen lymph nodes. I had an MRI, mammogram and ultrasound on my lymph nodes and the dr still said they look healthy. I have been researching explant for several years and in this site constantly. I had it done with just a valium and nnumbing medicine. I am pretty sure they call that local because I was wide awake. It was nerve wracking but I didnt want to be put to sleep. I requested the dr leave my capsules in because they were thin anf I didn't want anymore cutting than necessary. He cut me under the breast and pop the implant and the water drained out and he pulled out the saline bag. It was so weird being awake. The pain did not start until the next morning when the numbing medicine wore off. That 2nd day was pretty bad at the incision site. I also had small flexible drains which I did not want. I ended up get an infection so on day three I started antibiotics. I ask the dr about antibiotics but he sais I wouldn't need them. I don't think that is a great idea. I have been in a compression type bandage since yesterday because my dr is put and a another dr said he wanted me in a compression bandage to
avoid fluid accumulation. I am happy to have these bags out of me. I haven't got upset or
anything but when I tried a bra in today, it
was a real moment if how small and flat they
still are. This site has been amazing and I
thank all the ladies and their stories. My
breast are not as perky as some on this site
but I think it is because I am lean and I dont
have much tissue. I was much firmer before
implants. I am hopeful for the fluff fairy. It seems like they are staying the same or getting smaller. Overall I am happy
I know people at work will notice but I dont care. My husband is adjusting an trying to be supportive. He is a little superfiscal but he met me with small boos and he ultimately loves me no matter what. This is an amazing site and I wrote review to pay it foward. Its comforting to know others understand you when doctors and others think you should never take the implants out. Society pushes perfection but perfection is healthy lovely breast.

With Implants
day 5 after explant
I am trying to adjust to the new me. I went to look for Bras again today. It was very frustrating. I actually found some bras at Kmart. I went to get a Genie Bra but I didnt fill it out. I purchased the Joe Boxer V-Nexk Padded Push Up Racerback Sports Bra. When Obama by myself I feel so good but when I am around my husband or anyone else I feel a little weird. I hope I can adjust and I fluff a little more. I dont mind being small at all. I just expect ro be quite so saggy. I am having one of those days I guess. Tomorrow will be better :-)
