I am due to have my 360cc PIP implant removed on 17th May 2012 by the NHS, I had the implants inserted in 2004 when I was 19 as I had low self asteem and hated my shape, I felt implants would make me feel more in praportion.
I only wanted to go from a 34A cup to a large C cup. I was booked in for my op with consmedical in Liverpool and a last miniute change of the implant size from 390cc to 360cc was made as the surgeon said I would end up around a D if they used 390cc.
I ended up a 34DD, I am glad they didnt put the larger implant in me but didnt exactly get what I had asked for, however, at the time and up until the rupture, I wasnt complaining. My mind has been consumed with my breasts since I discovered I was one of the victims of PIP and I had a rupture, I had no symptoms whatsoever and at the hospital I was queued with 7 other girls being checked who all had symptoms of swelling, redness, pain etc.. I had none of this infact, I thought I would be fine. 4 out of the 7 of us had ruptured implants.
Anyway, I think about how I will look and feel every minute of every day, I am consimed with it and want to move on from it so much. I am excited and embracing this as much as possible but I am terrified that I will hate myself but only time will tell.
Nobody other than my partner has ever seen my breasts, I dont wear low cut tops or show them off I enjoy the shape they give me and I wonder if I will miss that or be ok.
I will let you know how I get on.

hi littlenik.
i too had pip implants since 2000. i didnt know that they were pips as the hospital never wrote to tell me?!?!?! i had my explant on monday just gone and my left implant was badly ruptured! like you i never knew. but my ps said there was no point having a scan as pips just need to come out irrelevant!! there was literally three weeks before finding out they were pips and explanting. like you i could only think about boobs!! i am so happy with my decision and although its only been two days i dont miss them one bit - and i was dreading what they would look like as i couldnt stand my pre implant body. i think its helps that they were pips as i couldnt wait to get the toxic bags out and the thought of being 'conned' by some company making money out of innocent girls with low self esteem is disgusting!
not long to go now. please take a look at my profile as it explains my journey x

Got my Pre-op on Friday. It occured to me the other day how strange it was that as soon as I found out I had a ruptutred implant that the evidence of such was so obvious, my right breast seems enormous compared to the left, it stings constantly.
I cant wait for my thoughts to not be about myself, i feel so selfish and self obsessed, "what will this top look like, what size bra will i be, will i look like I have lost weight, or will i look chubbier, will i be able to feel sensations again, what will that dress look like"
Roll on the days after the surgery and when I have healed when I have the answers to these questions, Its just a shame that there is no sign of justice yet. Lets hope the lawyers put thre pressure on!
