ORIGINAL POST

Hello. I will be removing my saline implants...

Hello. I will be removing my saline implants tomorrow afternoon after only having them for 15 months. I will be sharing my journey on this web site. I made a very impulsive decision to get them done at the age of 30, for personal reasons... However, I knew 3 weeks after that I completely regretted my decision, however I decided to give them a year before removing them. I hope my story will help inspire other girls. Thank you.

Hi. I just removed my saline march 2014. One of the best things I've done. Good luck! It will all be great!! I too regretted my implants when I got them but gave them almost 4 years. That was 4 years of frustration and limitations at the gym when doing certain exercises etc.

I honestly already feel much happier with my decision, too. Congrats!!

Hi! I have a question for you...were your implants under the muscle? How do they look after removal? Are you happy?

Just got done with procedure

Hello! I just walked out of the op room and currently in the waiting area, awaiting my ride home. I feel great. The procedure was smooth, took 30-35 minutes. I felt virtually no pain, at one point the PS had to stop to give me a tiny bit more anesthesia... But honestly, it was not bad at all. I will update photos once I'm home and feel better. I'm a bit tired and will probably be napping today. Thank you.

Hello, as promised here are my pictures of the post - op. I had my surgery at 2:30 and it's now 9 pm. So far, I've only taken Tylenol extra strength for the pain. I'm doing well so far, I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks.

You look great! Did you require a lift?
June 25, 2014
The PS said bc I was younger and had good skin, I probably didn't need one. I didn't get one. Just a removal under local.

Congrats! You look fantastic! How big were your implants? What cup size were you pre BA? Happy healing!

My saline implants were in the 300's, I can't remember the exact number but I think it was 340? Or around there. They gave me a certification card with the serial number and size but I've since misplaced it. I was originally a 34B and went up to a 34D. I wanted to end up being a C cup but the nurses where I had my first surgery convinced me to go bigger. I felt they were too big for my lifestyle (I love running) and they made me look top heavy, as well. I'm very happy that I took them out. I wish someone had slapped me into reality prior to all these costs and emotional turmoil. But you live and you learn.

I'm thinking about calling your dr. For the removal of my implants. Where did the doctor make the cut for removal and was yours under the muscle? Thanks! You look great :)
June 28, 2014
She made the incision under the original ones. Yes, they were under the muscle. Thanks.
June 28, 2014
not under*, on the same original incisions. Sorry! Therefore, I have no new scars, just reopening the same ones.
