52 yo (21 yo implants under muscle). Explant complete! Freedom FOREVER!!

After two children, my 34b boobies looked sad. Living in Dallas at the time (where everything is BIG) decided to get implants. I told my Dr "I want big" and big he did. Almost 600cc's! For my 5'4" frame, 130lb at the time, were WAY TOO BIG for my body. I have been so self conscious of these boobs for 21 years and really can't wait to get them removed. Luckily I haven't had any health issues but finding clothes to fit has been dreadful! My husband is completely supportive of my wanting them removed... which will make this transition so much easier. My fear of having the implants removed is that I will look like I have tube-socks hanging from my chest. My friend told me about RealSelf and this website has given me the courage to get this done. I have found Dr. Tanya Atagi, who was referred to me from my friend (who also had implants removed by Dr. Atagi). I have made my consultation appointment for Tuesday October 6, 2015... and if no issues are discovered, I will then go in for a pre-op and hopefully removal the first week in November. It can't be soon enough! I am so looking forward to being ME again! I will keep you posted throughout my process! PS the right breast looks larger but think it's just the camera angle as I had to use my right hand to juggle the camera.

Thinking losing a little weight (10 lbs) before explant.. or even before consult.. would be beneficial so have a little less breast tissue. Just don't want two saggy empty balloons laying on my chest. Thoughts?

OMG! My Dr had a cancellation and was able to move my consult up from Oct 6 to Sept 22! I am excited, anxious, scared and eager to learn about the process, transition and new ME! Well, really getting to know the OLD ME! Realself.com has helped me so much and reading everyone's stories have given me amazing courage and inspiration to move forward! I noticed I don't have as many "before" pictures like a lot of you do... but I promise to show photos of my journey along the way. I am very excited and feel somewhat empowered and just want to say that "real is sexy"! Thank you to YOU if I read your story (and I probably did). I pray that during the consult the Dr finds no issues and that it can be an in-office visit. Just wanted to check in and will update next Tuesday! Woohoo!
