My boobs LOOK great. They look nice in clothes and fill out my shirts. But, they are way too hard, especially my right one. I have a mild case of capsular contraction and I hate it! I’m 40 with 2 kids and I love the fact that I feel sexy but it’s not worth the discomfort and I feel self conscious if someone feels how hard they are, even just by a friendly hug. My procedure is in less than 2 weeks. I’m excited but nervous about how my breasts will look without implants. I’ve had implants since 2005 and 2 breastfed children since then. I have no idea what to expect. I’ll post after pictures.

Don't be nervous. I also had capusular contraction in my right breast and I know your pain! I was so worried about getting mine removed and yeah they still looked great in clothes but seriously it is the best decision I ever made (see my review for photos).
I still have some pain in my right chest but nowhere near as bad and I hope it settles!
Best wishes, you are doing the right thing...before surgery all i could think about was the pain and what these foreign objects were doing to me and now i just feel free!!! Also all i used to wear were flattening sports bras as i was ashamed of having "fakies"..,now i love push up bras and am not too far off being the same size with a decent bra! I'm sure you will love the result, best wishes x

It's natural to be a little nervous, I had mine in 05 as well and wanted them out from day one, I had them out 10/27/17 and couldn't be happier, besides I wish I never got them, you'll feel lighter, better and all around yourself again, don't be scared,
enjoy!

when is your surgery? i m having my 38 year old saline over the muscle removed Feb 21. i am nit having anything else done so we will see what I end up with. i have a small amount of breast tissue and I pray the cc contracture removal doesn’t cause me to lose what small boobs I have left.

I am 57 will b 58 in December and my implants are 34 year old silicone. my left later side of my breast is burning and uncomfortable. I have never had an ultrasound or MRI. 3 years ago talked to a surgeon about replacing them because I thought they were old and the shape was off and they were not as full. no mention of MRI or the risk of what happens when they rupture. He just said if they ruptured which he thought was a possibility then the gel would stay in the incapsulated area. Well I have been having this pain and now I am scared of what will be found. I am not unhappy with my implants or the look but brain fog, joint pain and fatigue make me wonder if it is the implant and where the gel is. Feeling afraid but calling a surgeon.
