Hi Katz79,
Did u hv yours implants done at Transform too. I had my 340cc in Sept 2011 n hv on n off pain n hv decided to hv them removed. Will be having my first consultation on 21/1/15 in Newcastle as too costly to hv them removed in London. Found the ps from ladies who give their reviews in Realself. Hope it goes well n hope to hv my removed by March/April.
Hope you find yourself a reliable ps.
Xx

Hi I have read your story and I am going through a similar issue myself the only difference is I don't want to remove my implant however my doctor says it's for the best. My breast are not symmetrical one is dropped and soft and the other is hard and sits very high after three surgeries already still no good results. Before i had my BA I was so small I could not even fit into a a cup bra. I am currently a D cup with crazy looking breast which I hide with a bra. My biggest fear is being completely flat chested again and feeling like a boy :(

I just want to feel normal again hug my kids and not feel like a board is between me x

Having small boobs will take a lot of adjustment as I can't remember before but it's not all about boobs x

Hi Sandra.d ...mine are also not very symmetrical, mostly due to capsular contracture. Did you decided whether to explant or have yours replaced? My pre-op size was also very small, barely AA :( so I'm feeling very nervous about explanting but I have to do it.
UPDATED FROM Katiej79
Cost
Have my surgeons consultation end January still hoping he will find a problem and I can have these bad boys removed for free through transform but if not my actual surgeon operates privately and removal is 2000 wow lots of money as I have a loan for actually operation from last year but my happyness is more important

Katz79... I know what you mean about the expense, but all is not lost. Hopefully, you can get them removed for free and if not, try to negotiate a discount with the same surgeon. Does the £2,000 cover a general anaesthetic and does that include an overnight stay? Also, long term you will save yourself money by having the explant now. I can't even begin to imagine the cost of having them replaced every 10 to 15 years (at best). Good luck and keep us updated x

Not sure what it includes but surgery will be in Truro if transform won't help with same surgeon and it's an hour from my house not over 5 x
Hope your feeling ok

That is a great rate, I paid close to $9k for mine out, then another $4k for a lift. Are you having any issues or illness type things going on? I don't know about in your area, but here in the states, its really tough to get most insurance co's to pay unless you have CC or a leak. Mine were leaking and I had grade 4 CC and am still waiting to see if insurance will cover. Anyways, I know how you feel with the 'hurry up". I called my ps once every few days or so for cancellations :) It ended up working and I was able to get in pretty quickly. Good luck, sending you good vibes!

I just have lots nerve pain and pain in general in my boobs if that makes sense. I also feel I have cc again which I have had before hense this is op number 3 in 15 years x if cc is severe they should be replaced for free but if not then I'll have to pay and the price ive been quoted is £2000 British pound.
January 23, 2015
Who was the £2000 with hun I have been quoted £3000 at Southend , hope u are ok xx
January 23, 2015
My Ahmad who did my surgery through transform but that's his private clinic in Truro cornwall x
February 23, 2015
I've been quoted £3380.00 if I have it done in an NHS hospital and £3727.00 at the Nuffield!! x
February 23, 2015
I think I'm getting a good deal with my £2k quote looking at some of the prices. Still, as long as it's with a good surgeon then it's worth the money I think!

That's way too high. R they in London. I will be seeing my ps on 25/2 at Newcastle which is much lower. Called up a few in London n just cudnt afford it. Will update after my consult in Wednesday.

Hi Amanda
Good luck with your consult tomorrow. Mine is next Wednesday. We could be going for surgery at similar times?!
I feel its high too as to put them in only cost a couple hundred more! I've spoken to a couple of people that have used this surgeon though and they're really happy with him. Its not in London, its in Exeter in Devon. If I lived further up North I'd be asking you for your surgeons number, but its just way to far to go! Let me know how you get on tomorrow.:-)x
February 24, 2015
All they can do is explanation they don't like do in any lifts until you recover xx

Hi lucyjc,
Paid for the implants at £3695 in sept 2011.
All my friends advised me not to go for explants as they look nice but they dun know how uncomfortable they are.
Initially when I rang up Nutfield, was quoted £2600 but I argued that a couple of ppl in this site only paid £1300 to hv theirs explanted. Finally they checked with their account dept n agreed at £1300. Am happy with the cost as is the cheapest that I managed to find.
Will definitely update tmr.

Hi Amandachoo
How did it go?!
I will use that when I go in next Wednesday then too as it seems a crazy amount to pay for such a small operation.X

Hi lucyjc
Had my consult with Dr Nick and he is very understanding guy. He never rush you as what ps usually do. Told him I came to know about him from Realself forum.
After checking me, he said mine were fine, right size n no cc. He asked me to think again n be absolutely sure that I want to go ahead with it. I told him that I just wanted them removed without any lift or replacement. To opt for local is £1300 n if I want to go under general the cost if £200 more. But I told him I hv zero tolerance to pain n he said if there is any pain during the process, he will increase the dosage. I remembered that was what happened to one of the readers in this site too when went to him. I asked for month of April n was given three dates which I will confirm in return. After doing the research, £1300 is the best that I found so far. As I'm in London, he advised me to check the cost of train ticket tot get the cheapest fair to suit the date. Very considerate of him. No drain n no removal of capsules required n able to get him after couples of hours rest. If any complications arise after explant, will communicate on phone or email but he doubt it as it will be a very straight forward operation. Seem like a very nice ps n I'm very that I selected him.
Hope you are happy with your consult too next Wednesday.
Hope the info are useful to you.

Well done Amandachoo! Glad to hear it all went well and that seems an incredibly good price. I think now I've got a fairly good case for questioning the price. I'll give them a call before my consultation and see what they can do. There are other options I guess and I know Katz got hers done in the south west and has given me some details which I'll follow up too if I don't get any reasoning with Nuffield. You've been a great help-thankyou.x
February 26, 2015
I'm so pleased I spoke to you as I've rung the Nuffield to question the high cost and they said they quoted me the wrong price-they included a capsulectomy as well. I've got it down to £2100 staying at the Nuffield and not NHS too!! Very happy lady. They are also going to look at getting me in within the next month which is fantastic. Thank you so much X

Lucyjc
Great to hear that u managed to hv a good deal. How much were u quoted initially. Just like me, if I hadn't learned from ladies on this site that paid £1300, I wouldn't hv thought that they wud cut down half the price of what they quoted on the phone of £2600. Probably I will opt for 11/4.
Xx
February 26, 2015
I was originally quoted £3750.00!!!!! So like you I quoted what other people are paying on here and how much you've been quoted. It was funny because she said -well he cant be a very reputable surgeon at that price...and I told her I've seen his name a few times on here and he'd explanted lots of very happy ladies ;-)
I'm really happy now as he seems to have a good reputation .
Are you going to be staying in overnight?X
March 15, 2015
Ive been quoted 5 thousand pounds! Im wondering why now x
March 15, 2015
enbloc is when they remove the capsule thing as well when removing the implant .xx
March 15, 2015
that is an awesome price, I need them explanted enbloc and most of the quotes I got were near the 5000 pounds. But then I do want the capsules out too. Anyone else has had the capsules removed also?x thank you
