WORTH IT
I had my breast implants removed in July of 2015.. just a few weeks ago. I never did feel comfortable with the implants so I decided to have them removed. I was a 34B prior to implantation and with implants grew to a 34D. I am 5"4 with a small frame weighing in at around 125lbs. I had them for almost 6 years. My recovery was amazing. No complications. i was back to work a few days later. First of all, I want to give Kudos' to the best plastic surgeon in Marin County , California. Plastic Surgery Specialists, Dr. Yngvar Hivistendahl. His staff is wonderful and very professional.he was very understanding in my decision to explant. If anyone is considering explantation I totally recommend Dr. Hvistendahl at Plastic Surgery Specialists. He is the best!

I went from a 34B to D.. don't remember the size but they were huge. Cost is individual and will be based on variables. You should discuss with the Doctor.

Good luck by the way if you are considering. If you are in the Bay Area I would highly recommend Yngvar. Seriously, the best experience and I feel great.

Hi Silfree. I am totally with you. These implants are so hot heavy and uncomfortable. My head was in the wrong place and I want them out so bad. I feel claustrophobic. It's traumatic looking in the mirror.
