I got breast augmentation three weeks ago and have been regreting it ever since. I got 450cc gummy bear implant over the muscle via crease fold insicion. I got it done for the wrong reasons and now that i have them im jst so depressed and with alot of anxiety. People tell me to give it time but im sure i dont need time. I know for a fact that if i give it time i will probably like them but only for 2 or 3 years max then im gonna get tired of them. Its just an enfatuation or a fantasy that will end and then my explant will give me worse reaults so might as well do it at a month n have a better chance of getting my old breasts back. I know i shouldve known this befor surgery but like i said i did it all so quick with no research for the wrong reasons just because someone else did it and was so happy...i never thought i would be the total opposite. Anyway it is what it is and theres only one way to fix it

Bless your heart... In my opinion, you are a wise young lady and to FIX this NOW is very wise. Oh, how I wish 35 years ago, I could have had such wisdom! By the way, your pre op pic is beautiful. Getting the implant out now, you should easily return to your REAL SELF! CONGRATULATIONS.....

Look, doing this so quickly, I bet you are going to be just fine! Can hardly wait to hear your great news once these implants are OUT! Mine are being removed August 13. IF only I had been as wise as YOU!

I second @Bks49!!! Your going to look very much if not EXACTLY like how you did before!! Minus a little scar which will fade to nearly nothing over time. Which is good news, because you pre-op pics look so pretty & natural :). Implants only cause problems, removal is a very smart decision. You can do this!!!

Thanks so much you give me the strength to keep going with this bks49 how long have you had your implants and how old are you? Jessica 87 did you explant also?

your breasts will look the same. The best advice a surgeon gave me was that the implant merely acts as a pillow. I had mine for 3 years and I was very nervous. Now they are out and my breasts are even better than before. Follow your heart. The scars will heal.

Let's face it.. At the end of the day, THIS IS YOUR LIFE... Neither we ladies, nor your friends/family can make this decision for you. Follow your heart & you will do the best thing for YOU!!! I am 65 yrs. old & had my 1st implants 35 yrs. ago at the age of 30. I went through MUCH pain, discomfort & hardness of breasts for 27 YEARS... After leakage & doctors insisting I get them out, I finally did 8 yrs. ago.... HOWEVER, like you, I kept listening to what everyone else was telling me. Finally, I chose to have the 2nd implants put in because everyone said I would be depressed & I would look terrible after all those years.... NOW, fast forward to today... I not only have a real problem which I FIRST knew I needed to be proactive back in 201, just 5 yrs. after the 2nd surgery... Now, I have silicone in my lymph nodes & have to have all this removed plus the implants... NO WAY will I EVER have anything put back in.. My heart hurts that I didn't have the wisdom to have the 1st ones removed AS SOON AS I REALIZED my mistake & THEN to have NEVER agreed to have one more thing done to my natural small breast... I wish you ALL the best as you walk on this journey..

If you don't feel comfortable with them, you probably never will. Immediately after I had mine put in I knew I wanted them out. I had to wait though because I was pregnant and then nursing. I waited until my breasts shrunk from nursing and then I scheduled a removal. I explanted 3 days ago and I am happy with my results so far. I think taking them out now will not affect what your breast will look like and they looked great before your BA.

Yeah...it really sucks! the whole thing....but once you have them out you will feel so much better! I wish I had a date set....I dont think I would sleep a minute, Im so anxious to be rid of mine. :( I have mine 3 months longer then you....been doing the silly thing and looking at pre-op photos of myself...I was a perfect B cup! a little droop but they were mine and definitely didnt make me feel as unhappy as Iv been lately.... All the best with your surgery! roll on the weeks! :) x

Sweetie.. You are still on a emotional roller coaster from surgery. I'm not trying to talk you out of removing them but take at least 2 months before doing anything. Good luck to you.

Ok so everyone around me are making this situaltion worse by telling me to keep my implants. My mom tells me i didnt spend all this money to throw it down the drain. My boyfriend at the beginnigg was totally against it and keept telling me not to do it that he loved me the way i was and that natural was better and now that i have them he doesnt want me to remove them. I dont know if its because he likes big breast or because hes scared of how my breast are gonna end up. All my friends say they look awsome to not remove them. Very one thinks im crazy imature girl that doesnt know what she wants :( i feel terrible

Aw, I feel your pain and am so sorry you are not getting more support from your loved ones. I got my implants when I was in my late twenties and kept them for 13 years and have hated them for the past 10. I really, really wish I had made the decision to explant 10 years ago!! I am explanting on August 15th and now I am nervous about the damage I have done to my natural breasts. Bottom line is, nothing beats being comfortable in your own skin. Do what you know in your heart is the right thing for you. I agree with the other ladies in thinking you will probably look almost exactly the same since so little time has gone by. What ever you decide, take care of you!

I feel obligated to offer you advice because I was you 3 years ago. I got them for the wrong reasons and people told me to wait. Guess what? 3 years made no difference and I still wanted them out. So i got them taken out last week and I am thrilled I did. I wish I hadn't waited and let me say that my breasts look even better than before (sans the incision scar). Somehow I have even more breast tissue than when I started. My advice to you though, is get them out. The sooner you do it, the better, and don't look back. Consider it an expensive lesson learned. And don't worry about your breasts. They will retain their shape. Mine did. I had gummy bear implants and my natural breasts look perfect now.

Thank you all for your words they help me stand up to what i want. Im going to se my surgon monday i dont know how hes going to react this time knowing that i sill want to remove.

I am scheduled to have mine removed on July 30th after having them for only 4 months. My husband kept telling me to give it time, that I would eventually get used to them, but I can honestly tell you that still hasn't happened. It's hard to get used to having pain every day and trying to sleep on hard balloons. Bra shopping is a nightmare and exercising is very uncomfortable. Plus they are so hot! I waited and waited but close to 2 1/2 months post-op, I knew 100% that these things had to go. I went from seeking opinions about revising to go smaller, to searching for a doctor to explant. Now I am counting down the days and I am so anxious to get my old body back. I'm not telling you to go one way or the other, but I know for me, I'm glad that I waited at least until the implants dropped and I could see the final result before I made my final decision. I hated them within a week of getting them and even though they looked a lot better once they dropped, I hated the feeling of having them, as well as the way they still looked. Good luck in your decision. Only you know deep down what you want and what will make you happy.

I am in the EXACT same boat as you girlfriend. I've only had mine for a year and am getting them removed on the 29th. I knew I wanted them out a week into having them. Like you said, I did give it time and ended up loving them but only for the time being. I say do what you think will make you happy. I'm not sure if I would have been happy or not if I would have gotten them removed earlier.. I know now that I am never gonna take my tiny ta-ta's for granted again !! Good luck and keep me posted !!
