I got 325 cc silicone implants when I was 24. I've had them for about 12 years. The day after the surgery I felt that they were too big for my body. I'm 5' 4" and back then I weighed 115 lbs. shortly after the surgery my body started to rearrange itself and I really didn't like the change that was happening. I started to look sort of matronly. No matter how hard I work out or how little I eat, somehow I won't go below 135 now. I had to stop jogging because it hurt my breast right after the surgery. 12 years without running :( the real problems started around 4 years ago, I started having shooting pains down my right leg from having to slouch to cover the boobs. I had an incredible fatigue come over me and couldn't get my thoughts together. My breast have been really painful to the touch. Overall the implants have given me physical, emotional and psychological problems. I just want them out. We finally have enough money to get it done and i have an appointment set for this coming Thursday. The surgeon who put them in will take them out. He suggested local anesthetic to get them through an incision under the breast, but that freaks me out. I also read so many of your stories and it seems to be the right thing to get the capsules out too since i had silicone implants. He suggested we go through the aerola again and that scares me. I'm scared that it will hurt my breast tissue and I may not be able to breast feed, if I ever to get pregnant, which so far has been unsuccessful. I'm blown away that I did this to my own self! My husband also never saw me without the implants and is cautious. Your stories and pictures keep me going, I'm so grateful y'all shared your journey and I'm can't wait for these things to come out!!

Prayers to you. My pre-op visit to my dr is today and I'm nervous as my surgery is August 11 for my ex plant and capsulectomy. I've had mine in for over 12 years and severe health problems for about 10 years. I will be having a lift 4 months later so I will be put under for both surgeries being that I am 700 cc. And that this is a major procedure for me. I wish you luck. Prayers. You will b happy

Thanks for posting!! I had my pre op today as well. I have saline 600CC above the muscle for 16 yrs. Right breast incapsulated. During my consultation I wanted to just do a smaller exchange and to silicone. Thinking that I really had no other option other than being FLAT and saggy! After reading so
many ladies stories with explanting and NO implants replaced I'm considering this as well. My PS suggested I have 2 surgeries. One for implant removal and another after 3 mths for a lift. His concerns are the lack of blood supply and not being able to do best lift available at the same time as removal. It seems to make sense. I'm VERY afraid of the results without implant exchange. 16 yrs is along time! I have acouple days to make my final decision To implant or Not to implant!! It would be great to have soft natural breast again:). I'm 60 yrs old and remarried only 5 yrs. He says he loves me and wants what's best for me emotionally and for good health. I would love to hear from you ladies that have made these decisions and what was your results? Happy? Thank you again and healing prayers for you

Hi beautiful lady. Well I am very happy with my decision at the 2 separate surgeries. Being that the blood supply will be better and my skin will have contracted back. The implants have caused severe health issues so no more for me. As I am very active and they don't work well together. What do you want? Health? Or looks? Prayers to you. ❤️

Had my pre-op yesterday and it was draining, but I'm getting closer to my date. I have been anxious every day, having a hard time breathing. But started to read The Naked Truth from dr Kolb and It gives me peace about my decision. I just want to make sure I get everything out of my chest! Oh, girls! I'm holding you all in my thoughts and prayers! I know we are doing the right thing! God bless!!

Good luck to you. We're all here for you.
I'm torn in a way. I didn't like how the general made me feel once I was awake after the BA so local seems like a better alternative but I'm SO nervous about being awake...it's like finding the lesser of the two evils lol
