I am relocating at age 47 to a new state. I decided I didn't want to go with my implants. I haven't liked the way they look in most clothes pretty much since I got them. I am 5'7" with an athletic frame. With the implants I had to always wear a belt or tuck in my shirt to show that I am not enormous. My clothes would hang off the my boobs with implants and make me look huge. I did a video for my business and I saw how huge I looked and just decided that was it, I wanted them out. I got 8 consults, and finally found the surgeon I used on this site. They have been out for 16 days now and I feel thinner, and more myself. NO ONE that didn't know I was doing it has noticed, and surprisingly my boobs look exactly like they did before I put in the implants. I had 350cc implants under the muscle for 13 years. At my follow up visit I was told to massage the scars, and there is still some pain when I stretch, but it was an easy procedure. I didn't need any pain medication at all.

Hi there! So happy you found a good doctor for your procedure and are happy w results! I’m also looking for a doctor for explant and I’m considering this one. I was wondering about capsule removal or en bloc removal and if you guys talked about this. I’m guessing you didn’t get that type of removal since you weren’t under general anesthesia. I may need to have mastopexy also. Thank you!

My breasts were soft and so I chose to not remove the capsule. Yes, we did talk about it. There is a lot of risk involved in removing the capsule, and honestly the need is not always there. It has been 5 or 6 weeks now since I had this done and I am thrilled. My breasts look like they did before the implants and I love being back to my old self. I love clothes shopping too!! I literally drove myself to and from this appointment and no one even knew I did it that I saw for the first week or so . My kids didn't even notice, which I can't understand, but maybe they just didn't say anything. It was VERY easy. He even let me take the implants home because I want to give them to my ex!!! :)

I am going to Dr Olson next month for explant consultation! Did you need drains after the procedure?

Hi just saw your post. So happy for you and your outcome. I'm getting my 350cc saline out under local on April 18. I've had mine in exactly 18yrs today and I'll soon be 65 yrs old.. No capsule removal or lift. I was a 34a long ago, now 36d. Way toobig and heavy! I can hardly wait. Do you have any before and after photos?

mrsg1104 and cuh53 how did your implant removals go? I was a 32 b. I had breast aug. 33 years ago. 32b to 34ddd. Not a good idea. I mean they were fun back then but only for a little while, now they are just in the way and heavy. I too hated the way I looked in clothes after my increase. I always had a cute figure, size 8. After BA I just looked big not cute. Should never have done it. Now I am very seriously considering Dr. Olson for removal and hopefully a tummy tuck or lipo for my tummy. I am in the process of scheduling a consult. So, if you get a chance let me know how yours went. Thank you!
