Hi
I did a BA 12/30/14 and knew it was a mistake soon after
I'm 5'3" 118 lbs got silicone gel unders 265cc and 234 cc

Results are beautiful and not one person has told me to take them out. I just feel uncomfortable. These aren't for me. I miss my lean, athletic look. I miss the freedom to move around without pain.

I'm so torn and conflicted.. Flew in to Hawaii to explant only to cancel because I had second thoughts that day :/. lost half my money that day. I decided to wait six months and possibly do it in August.

I am a healthy person and eat clean and take care of myself. I wonder what possessed me to put something in that would possibly cause problems later, require more surgeries or even change my old breasts which were just fine. I fixed what wasn't broken.

I look to this site for support because no one can understand what I'm feeling, no matter how well meaning they are. So thank you all for your posts and experiences.

I'm wondering what my window of time is to remove and look normal
Without sagging . I went from small 32A to full 32B or 32C. It's beautiful which confuses me more, but when I really think I know I don't want them in when I get older and eventually Ill remove anyway. I need to move and be me again.

It may help you to know that most of the doctors on here say there is no "sagging" as a result of removal -- I asked about that. Yes, there is a shrinking process which seems to take some time, but it ends by being about at your original size. The sagging you fear may not be a reality at all if you are young, versus age 60 like me where true gravity, age, and sagging will be a factor regardless.

I know what you mean I am going through the same thing right now! Every fiber of my being wants to explant! I am just so very afraid of what I am going to look like after :( such hard decisions!! I feel your pain hang in there

It's nice to hear I'm not alone. Then I don't have to feel crazy :). It's a tough decision. I have to bite the bullet and do it!

Age, gravity, and other factors cause "sagging" so youth and elasticity means a return to what you had before is about what to expect -- unless you are older like me (at 60) -- the sagging is reality for me, along with the tiny pancakes I will be left with once they are out. The younger the better the outcome after several months of healing and what everyone calls "fluffing" on here.

What does it mean fluffy exactly, what you are using here..i am hungarian.... ...?;-)

basically the fullness or filling back in of the breast tissue -- what comes back over time to more of what was originally there before having implants -- everyone here calls that process a "fluffing" stage and it takes 6 months to even a year for the end result -- that is how I understand it anyway

I had the same thing when I had my BA, a year ago. To cut a long story short I'm booked for mt explant consult in 7 weeks with hopefully removal of my implants with a couple of weeks of the consult. I honestly know it's the right choice for me, because like you I went from a 34A to a 34c with 295cc implants and hated them immediately but was convinced by my hubby and my surgeon to give it more time when I had my 3 month check up - so I waited another 9 months and I know they're not for me! I can't wait to get them out. I've been told that I should look pretty much like I did before implants so you should be fine. Trust your instincts x

Thanks for your comment. It's so good to know others feel the same. I am certain I want them out, but have moments of doubt. I feel like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! Haha. I'm booked for Friday. Wish I had all my real self friends next to me to help me...

Well, I made a huge decision and scheduled my explant for this Friday. I'm paid in full and had my preop and bloodwork. There's no turning back.

It what I know I want deep down inside, but I still doubt myself. :( I need some encouragement.

The only reason I had on my reasons for keeping list was - "pretty". Haha.

That's awesome good for you! I feel the same way I really want to explant the only thing that is holding me back is the thought of what if I am really dissapointed after. I know I don't want anymore worries and surgeries in the future! Good luck to you and please keep us posted on everything!

Day of treatment

Today's the day

I go in in two hours. Saying goodbye to these implants. They aren't me. I know it's early but the left side hurts when I touch or lean forward and I worry about complications in the future. This is what I need to do... Hopefully I snap back to 32A :)
