Easy, painless and no problem, plus it was done using local amnesia only! :-) Dr. E. is confident, professional and kind with no hard sale or upsell approach. He knows what he is doing and does it well. The nuring staff and Kristina are outstanding in all ways. I consulted with three doctors before I selected Dr. Edelson, and I made the right choice. He is amazing, good work at a good price. Best decision I made!!

Congrats to your decision! I'm waiting to get mines out too. I'm only 10 months after augmentation, don't feel myself anymore even though they look great. May I ask what size you were before augment and how many cc you had put in ? I'm trying to predict how they'll look after they take them out.

I was a B cup before implants, no kids and young. After implants I was a full D with 350 cc. Some years later, with kids and breast feeding I think my breast will be a small c or full B. I had no issues with my implants, I exercised and loved them. But now they dont represent who I am, like you said I didnt feel like myself. Now I do! My fear was how saggy they wound be, and so far, so good. They are bouncing back quite well. Ill updated with photos as things progress. Keep me update with your choice too. Best of luck! :)

I think as women we worry too much about how they will look after the explant. We are so tough on ourselves. But, without a doubt, my breast feel and look nice after my implants were removed. And if you make that decision, yours will too.

After breastfeeding 2 kids I was C cup with loss of volume on the top. I had put in 500ml and 450ml and went to 32 DDD. I didn't think they would be that big. Maybe that's why I have problem with the change. I'm tall and love to exercise and stay active. They're beautiful and if I saw them on somebody else I would have liked them. I can't stand the feeling of being " fake" and went into depression right after surgery. Everybody including my therapist was advising to wait because to get used to the change in body image may take up to a year. Now 10 months later no positive change. I guess this is not for me. I think I can expect more sagging than you but given the fact that the implants haven't been there for too long I hope the skin will bounce back. I'm thinking to having them out under local, wait few months and maybe do lift after ( I've always had bigger boobs so there is more skin and less tissue ). I will post pics! Thank you for your encouragement it helps me to alleviate little bit my anxiety talking about this to sbd who has the experience :)

Im happy to chat about this wothe you. I totally understand your anxiety. My feeling is that when you're ready, you'll do great! And that your breast will bounce back and look good! Local is kind of cool bc you to hear whats happening.and there is no pain. ( You can't see of course.) It helped reduce my anxiety to know whats happening. Oh, you can get valium or something similar before the procedure to help with the anxiety. I recommend it
