450cc Saline Implant Removal After 13 Years and 3 Pregnancies

XT82November 9, 2018
WORTH IT$2,000

If you're in Melbourne Australia this is for you!

Ill keep this short and sweet and if anyone has any questions please feel free to msg me :) 

I recently had my implants deflated in office to see if I would be happy with the results without a lift and removal (because other surgeons assured me I would hate removal only) and then I had them removed 2 weeks later and the results are fantastic!!!! My breasts look better now than pre implants and in my opinion way better than with the implants. The have retracted beautifully and it's only been just under 3 weeks since explant.  

Dr Alan Breidahl is an absolute gentleman and I would not trust anyone else with any surgery from now on. I only wish he was my original surgeon as I think I would have loved his work and not have had the complications I had with my previous surgeon.  

I would sing Alan and his staffs praises from the roof tops if I could. This man and his team have given me a new life and love for my body and I'm forever grateful. He not once pushed a procedure onto me and didnt pretend he knew what the outcome would be he just gave me the facts and possibilities. Oh and I have no scar!!!! This man is a magician!!!! 

Love him love him love him. 

Thank you Alan and your amazing team

Hey I'm doing so good how r u doing? Your so brave taking them out under local. In all honesty I would have preferred local because I hate recovering from going under. My anxiety is the worst!!! I think since having them removed everything I wear looks so much better and I feel like little petite me again.

seen 2nd surgeon

XT82January 10, 2014
Hey guys so I've seen the 2nd surgeon now who i was really happy with. He took one look and said "no good".
He said he thinks id be happier with smaller implants but he's happy to take them out with a full capsulectomy which will take 2-3hrs and cost me 9200!!! Wasn't expecting that but seems to be the norm here.
we went trough a few scenarios like deflate the implants and wait a few months, remove implants and replaceor remove implant only and leave capsual and the removal with capsulectomy. Im so confused and scared.
Any suggestions? I was told again that i have very little breast tissue so worried how they will look after feeding 2 children.
Thanks heaps ladies xo

Hey there:) I know a lady who was double a beforehand and then not sure her implant size but looked like a D, decently larger than my c anyway. She looked bad to start with but after 4 months she was pretty much close to normal and was extremely happy with her result. She is also very slim so looked like a puddle of skin straight after surgery. She got very healthy and took lots of healing supps and did a detox before the surgery. I think having a bit more fat on you to start with helps get a better result from all the girls I've seen (I was part of a Facebook group that got closed due to nudity but there was heaps of explants) just make sure the surgeon is very experienced with explants, as its a tricky surgery removing the capsule. I went from double a to now a smallish c and am getting mine removed, still haven't completely decided on a surgeon but most likely seeing who that lady saw, Lisa creighton in Brisbane. You'll get through it, please inbox me for all the tips I got from the site from ladies that went through it if you like xx
