Ruptured Implant...Decisions Decisions

Hi, I had mine for almost 20 years and had them removed 2 weeks ago. The right side was ruptured. No regrets whatsoever. I actually look bigger than before implant and of course natural.

Not me! My story is so similar to yours. I had the explants after pain, leakage, hardness and rupture after being in for 40 years! My breast tissue had increased over time and because I wear a bra day and night I awoke to young, perky breasts as light as a feather. Do I regret it? Not at all. I love every day of my natural new look. Its made me look years younger too as big breasts can look matronly as we age. Just do it even if it means a lift. You won't regret it if you are like me.

Personally, I would remove and not replace.

We're your implants under the muscle ?x

The deflated breast will look much the same as now. I had mine deflated to see what I would be left with before making a decision on what to do next, I am 52 had them 11 years. I think you look great as you are now, just think after time and body healing they will look that much better.

I am 52, and just had mine out yesterday. I feel so much better! Especially at my age, I would much rather be me, than be what felt like a set of boobs! I think your ruptured implant side looks amazing. I had as well, one implant that sat higher, and just felt tight all the time.. what a relief that they are finally out.. Hoping all goes well with your consults!

I thought the same thing looking at your picture - not that your left one looks ridiculous but just how much nicer the right one looks natural. When are you having the empty implants out?
You are going to look great! So many of the pics women post on here show they look so much prettier without the implants. Don't freak out right after, it takes months to see your final results. If you poke around on here and look at explant reviews and photos you'll see how great women look and feel post explant. I cannot wait for my explant. Keep us posted!

You already are looking so good, even without the shells being removed yet! How dare that nurse tell you that?? Does she live in your mind and your body and your heart? How does she know you won't be happy with the outcome? I think many of us on this site have come to a point that we are just happy and ready to be free of the implants, regardless of the outcome. I am planning to have my 15 year old silicone implants removed in May. HAd saline for five years before that. No one knows the journey I have been on physically, emotionally, and even spiritually with these implants. I think I would have called that nurse out on that comment! Lol. Can't wait to hear more of your story!

Thanks for sharing your story! You look so much bigger than an A cup. :) I'm curious of the process. When you went for the consult they drained one breast right there in the office? Was it painful? Your breasts look pretty even. Was one breast alot larger before? So is it possible to get both breasts drained without surgery? Then decide to totally remove them?

Hi, me again :-) Couldn't find where I was just commenting a few minutes ago... Definitely research.. Saline from the rupture will reabsorb on its own.. There's the possibility with a seroma forming, but that can happen if the had been removed without the rupture. Also wanted to say that I have neck and shoulder problems as well, multiple surgeries.. I've done loads of research, and have found working on the fascia to release bound done areas makes a huge difference. I had worked at first with a chiropractor using Graston.. Google that.. And then with physical therapist using all hands on, myofascial release. Always felt better after treatments but cost, copayS, time, etc.. Just too much. Just recently bought a Fascia Blaster to do this at home.. Sooo worth it.. May be something for you to look at, Google Ashleyblacksystems, she has loads of you tube tutorials and explanations. Works in to get rid of cellulite as well as pain from lots of things. Also people are seeing changes in the breast as well, With lifting them, by working on the pec muscles. Message me if you want more info, on anything! Be glad to share!

I get offended when they say you'll want them back. No, no I won't - thank you. Real beauty shines out from within. Loving yourself and being comfortable in your skin is way sexier than putting plastic bags in your body! It took me a long time to reach this conclusion, but when you arrive the whole thing seems rather silly. Now, if you have cancer or as disfigured it's one thing - but general insecurities shouldn't warrant this.

Look amazing! Mine come out next week.
