Breast Implants Removed! - Hyannis, MA

I got saline breast implants under the muscle when i was 18. I had horrible looking breasts, like 2 little peanuts on my chest. My surgeon said there wasnt enough tissue to perform a lift or just reshaping, so i went with a small implant size to help give shape and weight to them. After a few months, the swelling went down and they werent bad. The worst was having people i know make comments to me about my "fake boobs"...little did anyone know that i had a major deformity and the surgery was partially covered by my insurance. I was mortified by the comments, especially because i considered myself pretty natural ( i didnt wear makeup and didnt shave that often, was pretty "crunchie"). Years went away, peoples interest went away. None of my boyfriends knew because the implants had settled so natural , but my breasts developed a double-bubble. I was willing to live with that compared to what i had looked like before.

I met my husband and last year, at 29 got married! I wore a strapless dress that i didnt really love and when i got the pictures back, all I could see were my boobs. They looked so large and plastic, everyone told me I was crazy, but it ruined all of my wedding pictures. I made a decision after the wedding to look into having them removed. I had had them for 11 years and figured it was time, as we would start trying for a family soon and I didnt want a rupture or leak when I was pregnant or with a baby! My husband and doctor agreed it was a proactive thing to do, eliminating any future issues...

I had my surgery yesterday morning. It was relatively easy, I was put under and woke up 2 hrs later in the post-op room. My doctor had drained the implants and removed the "bag", plus thoroughly scraped the interior pocket behind the muscle. I didnt get drains; he put on compression bandages....I am very nervous to see what they look like, but I have spoken to my doctor and know I made the right decision. Plastic Surgery will always be there and if I want a lift or something after I have kids, I will do that. I will just wear push up braws in the mean time...cause Im sure they will be very saggy!!!
