When I was 30 yrs.old right after the birth of my child, I went from a 34A to 34D with 325cc saline implants. other than them becoming bigger and uncomfortable I haven't have any problems. But my back hurts 24/7!! I just know if I could get these heavy bags of water off my chest, I would feel better. I always wanted them and might have been happier with them if I had went smaller buy now, I so over the boob thing. My husband is very supportive of my decision and has been telling me for 2 years now to get them removed. My friends think i am crazy!!I have always been afraid too and didn't really know if I could and still look normal. That is why I am so thankful I found this site. All the ladies are so beautiful and inspiring!!
Ok, I have seen two PS. The first one said that he would take them out but couldn't understand why I didn't like them and suggest a lift that i wasn't going to wake up happy if I didn't.
I might be happier with a lift and even though he was fair in pricing, $7550. I just don't have it right now. The second PS said no problem, he can take them out and even though I will be flat, I'll have normal looking breast. That the skin will retract. And, if I am bothered with sagging breast, I can come back later for a lift. Which sounded great to me!!' Because the price is more my range and I can see how my breast will do in a year or so!!
So, I came home to take some pics and sometimes second guess my decision when i look at myself. I just don't know... I know I will feel a relief . Both doctors has never had a patient to not want implants so its kinda of exciting to know that I am starting something so fabulous!!:)

I've been going from- explant no lift to explant with lift to no explant in my mind for months now. I am so thankful for all the reviews because it has help me a lot. Its nice to have big boobs but I want to just be free of them and to feel light again. We can just learn love our beautiful selfs just the way we are! I hope your surgery goes well.

I add a few more pics. As you can see the left one is huge. I think it is the one with the bigger implant. My right was always bigger and it was to even them out, now they are off again. From the looks of them I believe there is a lift in my future. I'm excited about Friday! The nurse called today and I have to be there by 9 am. I thought I was doing this with local but she told me not to eat to drink after midnight, so he called it "twilight" anyways, I will be glad to get it over with and hopefully feel better.

Good luck on Friday and pls keep us posted on the results!! Are u doing the lift or not? I hope it all goes well :)

I just got home from surgery. It went good. I'm sore but not really hurting. I went in at 9:00. The PS came and asked if i was ready to be flat chested and i said "yes, flat and flabblous! make me saggy and gorgous!!" lol he might think im crazy too. The nurse took me back and got me ready and they put me to sleep and I woke up about 30 mins later.I looked Down and saw a beautiful sight! No implants!!! Just small flat boobs, yay! I'm so happy. Before explant, The PS said they would look like they do now but flatter and more sag, and he was right. something I for sure can live with. Dr. Boyd and he staff were so nice and I will be using them again if i need anything else. They made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I loved the idea that i didnt have to go to the hospital. It would have been more expensive.
I will Definitely be back if i need any more surgeries. Also, Thanks to all the beautiful ladies on the site, I just can't thank you enough! I couldnt have done this without you. Because If I had listen to my friends I would still have these bags in me forever. I asked if I could take them home. I only have one because the other had a leak in it.I dont know if it was leaking inside or he busted it getting it out?? I asked my hubby while he was driving to pick the bag up the implant was in and he said" oh my, is that only one of them?" It was 425cc. I thought they were 325cc. It weights over a pound. What a relief to have them out! On the way home at the red light I was unhooking my bra and show him and saying "look! look! they look just like the did before!! I love them!" and my husband said " well, the truck driver to the right does too!"lol I did my first boob flash today..I feel good! Just my breast are sore. I got home and was pull my recliner up closer to the t.v. And my husband fussed at me. now I think I got one nipple bleeding :( you can see in pic. I am so glad this is over and I can say I had big boobs but I 'm so thankful for my own small flat breast. I sometime look at the breast implant reviews and see the girl before pics and think, what is wrong with small breast? They are just as beautiful as large breast. It sometimes
Anger me how our society tries tell us what is beautiful and sexy and what isn't. How funny that changes from one generation to the next. When I was young big butts meant you were fat and you wanted a small one and eye
Glasses was nerdy and everybody wanted contact. Now, big butt are sexy and glasses are
Chic. I believe we should all learn to LOVE and ACCEPT ourselves just the way we are. Embrace are beauty in our on way. To learn to do this , is way better, long lasting and cheaper than any plastic
Surgery you can do! And when we do get plastic surgery we can appreciate it even more. Because if we are going to have surgery to feel better about ourselves we are really fooling ourselves. I have to feel am already enough before I can think about changing something. I plan on resting today and hope the fluff fairy
Comes In a couple of weeks, But if not, that is ok too. Thank you for all the good wishes! Love ya'll

You look great! I am so surprised with all the breast tissue you have left with having been an A cup before implants! This give me hope that maybe, just maybe I may have a little something more than just sagging skin when mine are removed. :) did to have your capsules removed as well?

February 7, 2014
Thank you, I wasn't sure what they would look like or size. I knew they were bigger than before because I was starting to get in a 34 DD and I didn't think the implants was getting bigger. Lol I've gain 10lbs over the years so, I was also worried about lose sagging skin. He didn't remove anything but the implants. The same way the went in.
February 7, 2014
Congats!!!! You look awesome- it will be fun to see how your breasts take shape over the next few weeks:-) LOL so glad you pointed out that big butts and glasses are in- I was one of those girls with four eyes and a big but for my small frame and NO boobs. That is so true and too funny. REST REST REST OK!
