WORTH IT$2,000
I disliked my implants from the start, I'm 5'3", 114 lbs. and had 290cc saline under muscle in 2009. When I called a place for an explant quote a few years ago they said something like $6000, so I thought I was stuck with them for a long time. I have a quote for $2000 from my consult today and can't wait until surgery day!! Local numbing cream, I'll be awake and can drive home directly after the 30 min procedure! I don't have any complications, but I do feel tired a lot. I don't work out like I used to, I'm embarrassed to go to yoga (under muscle implants move in a weird way when pics are flexed). Also, constant "headlights"...nipples are always hard. I just think small chests are prettier, look healthier and younger (I'll be 38 soon so preserving my youthful look is getting important). After implants, my breasts were uneven too. I feel like I've been hiding them for years! Can't wait to be all me again :)

I'm excited for you! So many ladies are thrilled to get back to natural and it sounds like you'll be one of them. And awesome that you get to do this under local. They won't be removing the capsules then, I assume?

Please keep us posted!

Thanks! No capsule removal, mine are thin and soft and they will just be absorbed over time. Surgery day seems so far away, but I'll keep busy and time should fly by.

Thanks:) I'll update with pics after the procedure. I have no anxiety around doing this, I wish I had done it years ago! (or, ideally, never gotten them). I'll be hoping for a great outcome for you as well!

Good for you! Are yours capsulized at all? If so, will he be removing the capsules? What about drains? Did your PS mention drains? I'm sure you are going to be thrilled with your result:)

I assume there is a thin capsule, normal response from the body to a foreign material, but I'm not having it removed. No drains, I'll wear an ace bandage the first week to prevent fluid build up. I'm excited!

Congratulations on your upcoming removal! It sounds like you feel really comfortable with your PS which is a wonderful thing! You are going to be so happy to have your natural body back and won't have to feel like you have to hide! I find that I ever stand up straight anymore because of my implants. I hope to schedule a surgery date myself! What did the do say about your recovery time? Please keep us posted and best of luck!!

I should be back to working out in 2 weeks, easing in slowly. I will go to work the next day, not doing anything strenuous.

Wow, your before pics looked great! We were all beautiful before ever getting implants! The media, men & seeing other women have made us feel inferior thus making us feel the need to look like barbie dolls! I'm so excited for you & your surgery :) You are going to do great & the surgery is so simple & you will not feel any pain like when you first got them in, which is fantastic :)
