Well, after lurking for a couple years, I've finally decided it's time!
I've gone for my consultation with Dr. Doezie and decided we are the perfect fit.
I'm going to pop in to the office on March 31st, have my implants removed, and head back home. That easy. He will do it under local, make a small incision under my boob, pop the implant, pull it out, and see me back up.
From the reviews, I hear it's not for the squeamish, but I value myself to be a pretty tough cookie, so I'm not too worried about it.
I AM however dancing around in excitement! 31 days! How amazing! I am going to look normal again.
Dr. Doezie did tell me because my implants are so big, there will be sagging, but because I'm a non smoker, and not a mom, I have a pretty good likelihood they'll "bounce back" after a good 6-9 months. Hopefully they get something back. I was a big B before the BA, so, it would be awesome to be right around there afterwards too.
My expectations aren't ridiculous. I know I will have to have patience.
Thank you to all of you wonderful, brave women who have taken this journey before me. It has given me the courage to make the appointment and go for it!
I'm so looking forward to having my own baby back!
I've just gotten this dislike for implants. They are not necessary, and women are just so much more beautiful being exactly who they are!
My implants are still healthy, however, I've had them for 13 years and they're just way to big for me, and it's not where my mind and body want to be anymore.

Yes. Luckily I am saline. The process is pretty simple. Local anesthetic, make the incision, pop the implant, pull it out, and sew me up.
Amazing. Doctor even said I can drive myself there and home.

Okay. It's official. My before pictures are up.
I keep reading reviews about how some people's bodies tend to hold extra weight while the implants are in.. Like the body is compensating for the weight. I'm hoping my body slims a little post implant, and the weight comes off a little easier.
Seems like my body is trying to hold on.

I'm SO ready for this. Time is going by so slow!!

Woo hoo!... You're gonna do great, brave girl! :) (joining the other brave ones here willing to share so others can be really educated and feel understood!) I'm excited for you also to be avoiding the issues many of us are having... Yay! [RS bleep]

Ps yes it's true, if you are finding it hard to lose weight it will be because the poisons leaching from even u ruptured implants need to be stored out of the way so our bodies store poisons until it's safe enough, until the elements needed for detoxing are all present, high minerals etc, open pathways ... Anyhow, I'm imagining a beautiful outcome for you!!! [RS bleep]

Does this happen even with saline implants? I'm hoping you are right!

I've always noticed that my boob shape is strange

My nipples don't point "up" or forward, rather a little bit downwards. They're a little square too. I guess that's what high profile will do to ya, huh?
I don't remember them being that way Pre-op.
Hopefully I don't have down pointers post op.
Looks like most of you girls got lucky. Just can't help the feeling that I'll be that one anomaly that will have my nips facing south.
Counting the days now instead of weeks. :)
Next Thursday is the day!
Pretty excited as the doc said I can be active, no restrictions day of, so I'm going rock climbing right before, and heading in to get the procedure done, then heading back to the gym to pick up the rest of the gang. (I won't be climbing post op)
Making a fun day out of it! :)

Wow all the best and yes I'm sure you'll have great results!... Are yours saline?... Because I've seen a couple ladies with saline pushed down and when they took them out they pointed forwards again, I wonder if it's the nature of the implant?!... Who knows, but hope it goes really well for you! I'm excited too, a week after you! [RS bleep]

You and I could be boogie twins. Much to my dismay I had 500cc implants. They were removed on 3/23. They look very concave right now but I'm hopeful. Before BA I was an A / Small B. I tried on bras and I am an A right now. Hope I stay there. Since you have more breast tissue than I did I would bet your results will be good. I am so happy that I had them removed. I read in a review that it's like saying hello to two old friends. That's true. I have no regrets at all. Love yourself for who you are.

Boobie not boogie. Hahaha!

Removal was super easy. Local only. It took about 30 minutes. I don't feel much pain. Just at the incision at the nipple.

Awesome! I was thinking about wearing headphones and listening to music. Is that a thing or do they want you to hear what's going on?
March 29, 2016
My doc talked to me throughout the surgery. I told him a couple times that I could feel some pain and he would inject more anesthesia. You probably won't need headphones because it goes really fast.
March 29, 2016
Mine pointed down similar to yours with my saline implants and now that they are out my nipples moved into a good position. You never know how you will turn out afterwards, but I bet it will surprise you by being pretty damn good. Good luck lady! We are all here for you and you will be sooooo happy!
