Hi everyone. Thank you for such a great site and encouraging stories.
I had my implants (above the muscle) fitted 14 yrs ago age 21 against everyones opinion. they took me from a 34b to a 34dd. I have been unhappy really since having them (but that's a secret, please don't tell my mum! lol) as ive felt they were too big and really booby in pictures etc.. I finally made the move earlier this year to approach my gp as one my left one has gone hard and has moved a little bit ie pulls a bit to the left (its been hardening for a couple of years but I ignored it....another intelligent move!) The hospital have since discover that also my right side has a leak and they recommend they are removed asap. They gave me the option of replacing and going smaller and I have been back and forth (literally) deciding and discussing what to do.
Thankfully in my distress I found this site and have been encourage to just remove them. No lift, no replacement. I have a pre surgery assessment on Friday then I'm in for the 8th September. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THEY WILL LOOK. However, I just want my body back. sometimes I freak out thinking that they things are in my body and causing discomfort. my left one hardening does ache and has therefore gone out of shape!! i didn't realise how bad until i actually looked from a side profile. The right one has fallen naturally but this is due to the leak.
I have been told I will look saggy after and actually felt a bit pushed to replace them. but I just wasn't sold on the idea I can go through all this again essentially. I look at photos of me and see boobs straight away. big round bulbous boobs and they don't look natural or feel it anymore.
I'm booked for removal on September 8th and although very nervous just want to get it done and am praying that my body recovers well and my emotions stay in check although I guess that's just hoping. I hope I am young ish enough to heal and bounce back a bit..but again this is my head trying to stay positive.
I am off to Ibiza on Monday so its a last chance to relax and sunbathe topless with big boobs albeit not at their best!. and also get a bit of perspective.
I can hear my little girl singing "let it go" watching Frozen in the living room now,and what a apt song! because I will be letting these implants go and if I'm a bit saggy that was a choice i made years earlier by inserting these implants before i realised what was important (my children and happiness). but fingers crossed for a good result.
I just want to feel normal again. at the moment i feel like a right tit! lol.

its been two weeks, and I have been cleared to go back to the gym. I was very tender but healed quickly and I know I made the best decision. I'm hoping they will fill out a bit more but am probably just missing the fullness of the implants but embracing being natural more.

its taken a while to post as still getting my head around it all. hope they get better with time. hope everybody else is doing okay. its been an emotional experience but I feel I made the right decision not to replace . I wont be messing around with my body again, I know that! xx

You look great! I can't wait to have mine out. April 4th! I have three girls ages 18,23, 27and I told them my breast were fake and I was getting them out. The first thing they said was... What? You do? Really? So that explains why our breasts are small! Haha
Best wishes for continued healthy healing!

Thanks for sharing your story. I think you look great! I'm in the process of looking for a doctor to get mine out. They are saline under the muscle in for 11 yrs now. I'm having symptoms that couldn't explain and then I found this sight which I'm so thankful for. I went from a 34b to a 34dd like you. I'm hoping to just be able to take them out without removing the capsule too. My question to you is I'm assuming you didn't have the capsule removed? I know some doctors say you have to have them removed and others say you don't. Also did you go back to a 34b? Again I think you look great and thanks for sharing. Sandi

Hi there, thank you for your positive comments. I just wanted to let you know that my capsule was indeed removed and that I have gone back to 34b, albeit my little ones are very soft at the moment and hoping to still fluff up further in time. xx

Congratulations! I need to remove mine as well as I hate them lol! Great to see women go through this and happy w results! Happy in their own skin without silicone bags in our bodies. Terrible what we put ourselves through as women... I'm afraid of how I will look as well, but hope at least I will feel better than this! Did you have capsules removed and drains?

just a quick update really to complete the journey. I'm about 4 weeks ago from my explant anniversary and I am in no doubt I made the right decision not to replace. Im back to a 34b - my original size - and I'm pleased with the result. they are stretched and no way as perky as pre boob job sadly; considering ive had two children and 14 years of stretching them with silicone my little boobs my result is something ive learnt to love. I just wish id never messed about in the first place and if I could advise anybody I would say to accept who you are and buy a car or have a holiday with the money instead!

Thanks for the timely update and so glad you are still happy you had them removed. I'm going for removal at the end of October and am not sure I would have been able to do it without stories like yours so thanks again. You look great!
September 20, 2017
You look fantastic!!! I'm almost 7 months free and have not regretted once having them removed. Natural is so much better!

I got them removed yesterday ! Everything went really well and I came back home last night . It just feels so comfy without them! I'm still in some pain and they look quite flat at the moment but I think that's just a matter of time.
Good luck!
