50yrs Old No Kids. - Lewiston, ME

I want to send you a hug and lots of love! I'm 51 and "fixed" my saggy crooked little AA's last year with 300cc silicon implants and I want them out now too! I think I was listening too much to the dictates of clothes and the culture - now I realize that every woman our age has imperfect breasts and the best thing to show them some love with a few sets of beautiful bras and underwear. There are many more companies making nice stuff for "flat" women (have you seen "Bounce" catalogue?). I am so sorry that your husband was a creep about your body - not all men are like that. Most just like nipples - it's not the breast itself that gets them going. I hope your explant goes well - I'll keep checking back here to see. I can't give you guidance except to say that your health is so so important and doing what you can to feel your best is critical at any age but especially now. I try not to fear the changes but to stay open to the possibilities - don't listen to horror stories at women aging, etc. You still are and will always be beautiful. I don't if they have nude beaches in Maine (my sister lives in Freeport; I'll ask her) but I found that it's a fantastic place to go to feel better about your body. A whole pack of humans without clothes on? Gorgeous! The people with the "perfect" bodies look weird, like they're wearing costumes.
I'll be thinking of you! Please keep us up to date.

Im anxious and excited, that Im finally getting them out. I'm having my surgery sooner, Thank God! I hope it goes smoothly with no problems.

It sometimes takes living through adversity to see what's really important in life doesn't it? I too wish I never got these heavy toxic boulders put in my body. At the time I thought they would make me feel better about my body. What they did was make me feel more insecure. Not to mention how much I hate the attention I get from men because of them. They don't see me,they see huge boobs!
I am so glad to have found your post! I've been searching for months to find someone in Maine that's in a similar situation as myself. Would you mind posting what ps you're using? I'm so nervous I'll chose the wrong doctor. Although the ps who performed the bs did a wonderful job, he didn't, however, do as I asked. I wanted a b/c and got huge d's. Needless to say I'm a little apprehensive. Plus, in all the research I've done I haven't found any information on how many explants these surgeons in Maine have done.
I'm at a point in my life where I accept and love myself more than what other people think about me. Of course I'd rather have perky pretty breasts but I'm not willing to put my body through such a painful ordeal. They've been through enough and now I'm going to subject them to another surgery to undo the mistake I made in the first place. If someone doesn't love me for me, and all my shortcomings (saggy breasts and all), then they're not who I want in my life. I wish you health and happiness....and acceptance and love for yourself.

Congratulations! Here's to a safe and easy recovery for you. Enjoy your sleek new/old self!

Your post helped. I am considering explanting too. Thanks for being so brave.

Happy healing to you!

Hi. Hope you're doing well. Get lots of rest and lots of fluids. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

So happy for you! I live in Maine too. Having mine out in Portland September 1st. My biggest fear is the pain. I also just started a new job and it's going to be obvious to my co-workers that the surgery I took a couple of days off for was to ex plant. Oh well-nothing I can do about that. I live with regret and it's a constant battle to overcome my guilt and embarrassment over having implants. But somehow we need to love and accept ourselves...mistakes and all. Wishing you a speedy recovery and a life of love and happiness!

I'm happy for you that the worst is behind you! you will feel better and look great pretty quick I'm sure!
