45 Years, 2 Teens, Married 24 Years

No, I'm not doing a lift. Dr Straka didn't recommend one now. He wants to wait, about 4 months, to see how they fill out. I'm sorry but I don't know anyone who regrets it. In fact, I only know of 2 people with implants. One lady loves hers and the other had cancer. It's your body so, do what's right for you!

Thinking back, when I first got mine they were hard and didn't feel right. Your PS is correct, give it about a month. I hope that helps. I haven't had any problems.

Why r u not getting new ones?

Good luck to you! Keep me posted..

I'm just done. The surgery was this morning. I was very nervous but they r out. We actually have them, crazy, and I never realized how heavy they really are. I held them and couldn't believe! As I said, my reasoning was getting the bags of water out of my body and so I could let my daughter know, who is developing very small too, it's ok.

And after having them 11 years and having foot and arm pain, all the time, sometime a metal mouth, and weight gain with no loss, no matter what I do... I think I was ready. My husband had both of his knees replaced and he needs the metal in them but I didnt need these. They were fun, don't get me wrong, but fun time is over, with the saline bags

If ou want them out ... do it ... everybody talked me out of removing mine . Finally I had mine removed on Frisy

Friday ... June 9th also... I am so HAPPY...they were not me and I lived with them for 27 years!!!!!! Do it now ! If you really want to ...

I just remembered, I have another friend who had them. She felt as you do, and had them removed. She didn't want her family to think anything. It was many, many years ago.

They look great! How r u feeling?

I'm feeling good, just want these drains out! Hopefully on Monday.

I'm new to this.. what are the drains for?
Wonder if I will have them??

The drains r for the fluid. Some doctors use them and some don't. From what I understand, the fluid should be between 25-30cc in a 24 hour period. If drains r taken out to early or not used, some people my have to go have an ultrasound and a needle drain them. They r a total pain in the a--.

I commented twice bc the first didn't go to the reply of ur question. Electronics!!! Gotta love it!!! Well, I'm not very good at it

Oh my dear girl. You are younger than me but the same story. I have 4 grown children , I also had an athletic build and very small all the way around 5'5" 112 lbs , I made 2 other appts to have a BA but chickened out. I finally decided I'm going to do it. I figured I must really want it since I made 2 appts. I had it done 1/12/17. 270cc under with saline. I was afraid of silicone. I hated them from day 1. Immediately regretted them. Cried to my husband about wanting them out. The ps said I had to wait 6 months :/. Saw him last week and said I have cc on my right. Or thinks I do. I told him I want to explant. I know the money is a waste. He told me I just have to pay for anest which is expensive but I want to close this book once and for all. I hat the way they look naked and in clothes. You may change your mind still and waiting 6 months might be best but I knew I didn't want them from the beginning. If you go to my notebook there are some pictures. But since I didn't want to review my ps I couldn't put one up. You are very early but you sound like me. I'm here to tell you that that there are others who feel that way. I want them out. :) good luck

Thanks.

Thanks!!

I get to take the bandage off tomorrow to shower and I'm excited about. Nervous about how they will look though!

Im amazed at how good you look so quickly after removal. I am having my 29 yr old silicone under muscle removed on July 19th. I'm so encouraged by you and others before me. Did you have capsulectomy with removal? My PS feels that I should. Im worried.

Yes, my PS removed everything, even scar tissue. He also told me they look good, for having surgery on Friday. He thinks they will fill out fine.

Thanks. Yes do keep me posted

We look very similar right now ...o you think they will fluff up little?

The doctor called to check on me and he said they will fluff up. Just to give it time. I have an appt tomorrow so, I'm sure it will be discussed more

Yes.

Thanks for the kind words! You will love being free of them.

I feel better everyday and the fluid is lowering everyday, too. I'm going to be my small self again but, that's ok.

I hope you are feeling well too!

Thank you very much.

Thank you!

The drains are really bothering me. They really aren't helping with my happiness, for getting the explant. Thanks for asking!

When do you get them out?

Hopefully tomorrow. They have been in 11 days and aren't drains much

Hopefully tomorrow!

I answered that twice

Good luck! Hope they remove them as planned.

Me!!!

Me too!!!
