Ok here we go I'm writing this because I need the support and thoughts of others with the same expiriance as I am going to through. I got breast inplants a year and a couple of months ago. Since then I have never felt the same about myself. Yea there are times the looked good for me bit I have always struggle with the fact that my right nipple hurts and alot of times my whole breast hurts since day one . I don't like it touched because of pain it interferes with sexual relations with my soon to be husband .
I have been having nightmares bad ones since they was put in. Also as soon as I wake up I'm thinking about them and the health of me .my hair is already falling out like crazy don't know if it's the inplants or stress . Thinking I want to be healthy for my 2 year old daughter. My appt is on Sept 8th. I also don't want my relationship to suffer. He said he don't care about my breast that's not why he loves me. Also I worry about what kind of bra I will wear don't want to look small .people I know will notice and I don't want them to. This is very hard for me but I know I must do this and be strong. I really was pushed into it at the end from my ps cause they wouldn't give me back my money after I told them I didn't want to go through with it. So I did it cause of money lose. But now I'm thinking I should of just took the lose. What a waste .I hope I will look ok after that scares me. I'm glad this sight is here cause I need it. I just want my life back and put this nightmare behind me forever .

Hi Theresa - thank you so much for posting and for sharing your feelings - you are not alone!! Our stories are very similar, except that I am 44 years old (lol!) but I also have not felt good since I got my implants about 10 months ago. Hair falling out too and stressed, relationship has been affected by it, so has my self-confidence, I hate having them. I am scheduled for September 9th - one day after you!! Come back on the site lots and share your worries and get support from everyone here. So many awesome girls on here have been through it and are a lot happier! Don't have regrets about the decision or the money or anything - it won't help you and its nothing to be ashamed of - its a life experience that we will go through and learn from. For me, I try to look at the positive - it has taught me to be very grateful for what I already have that mother nature gave me, and that "changing" things on my body does not always equal "better" or "happier". Take care and be kind to yourself!

I am thinking of you and wanted to tell you explanting was the best decision of my life! It's normal to feel anxious and scared before surgery. Just think about it this way after this no more surgeries complications etc. You will be free physically and emotionally. Feel free to message me anytime if you have any questions. Hugs :)

Your are soo right .u think of that all the time . It truly is not worth suffering. I can't wait to be free. But now the count down begins ehh. Wish I could turn the page faster to that day Sept 18

Starting to get very nervous about the procedure of explant I just hope it doesn't wreck my life that's what I fear the most I just wish I never had to get this done from the beginning and just had enough to make me happy

Don't worry as I'm going through the the same as you- I'm explanting in September too so we can all share our experience. I haven't sort of put up my story but am just happy reading and leaving replies to other people's and being supportive. I know,it's a big thing but you know nearly every single woman on here who ex plants is so very happy . Sending you a hug in the hope that you will be brave and follow your heart x

Thank you so much for your reply so glad I'm not alone. I really really need u all . Don't want to drive my soon to be husband crazy with this lol. But he is very supportive :)
August 8, 2015
It will only wreck your life if you let it. It sounds like your soon to be husband is very supportive and that's great...Your health is much more important than your looks. We who have made the mistake of implants and been explanted will pray for you. Odds are, you will look like you did before the implants and feel much better. God Bless and thanks for sharing.

Your right I need to be thankful for who I am . And be thankful for life health and to be with my soon to be husband and daughter for a long time. This is a constant on my mind not only the explant but the reminder of having them everyday for a year. I know my body is telling me something and I'm going to listen .

Why??

Freebirdlife
Why did I do this to myself I was happy before I had it done looking back at videos I seem happier. If I could take this all back I would. Don't believe you will feel better about ur self cause u wont. It's just a false positive on ur self . It has made me unhappy mentally and physically. Been to two different ps. They both said I had some bottoming out on my inplants. One said it will get worse the other said it could stay that way or get worse. I've only had them a year and already problems. They are to heavy for my small frame.I just want my life back. Every time I talk to my soon to be husband about this he
says I'm bugging him. He is supportive and tells me to take them out so that I'm happy. But what about how he feels? He just says as long as um happy. And he will love me the same. I'm just scared want it over . Someone fast forward this bad dream

Oh sweetie, these are all normal thoughts and emotions. Your health and happiness are most important though. Trust him when he says that he just wants you to be happy, dont go looking for problems with that. My husband has been by my side from the beginning and when he tells me that he doesn't care that I'm not going to have these huge breasts anymore and he just wants me to be happy again, I know he truly means it. I can see it in his eyes. I mean, he's been with me for 15 years with my small breasts and never once made me feel self-conscious about them.
...and if in the end, any man can not support his spouse with this decision to be healthy and happy,I personally would not want a guy like that (notice I didn't use 'man').
I'm pretty sure he truly just wants you to be happy.

I too wish I had never done this to myself, but I can't change what I did, I can only make it right now. I'm 3 1/2 hours away from explant...my only nerves are from being a little scared of the procedure itself. I know my husband will still love me, I know that in time my breasts will bounce back...but most importantly, I know I'll immediately be happy again.
Take deep breaths and remember it's YOUR body and you're doing what's best for you! ❤

Let us know :)

August 10, 2015
Your so right .
I know how you must feel right now . But I know we both will look at this as one of life's lessons. To have self confidence to cherish our self

Oh, me too. I haven't smiled since I got these. I just know I'll smile as soon as they're out. I'm ready to be me again, as I know you are too. It definitely is a life lesson. I'll never have any "what if" moments because I did it and now I know. Tough to learn it this way but at least we learned. This is just the beginning of a new chapter for us :)

It sure is for sure :)

Let us know how your procedure went. I am having mine removed under local in a few months and I'm terrified. Mine are saline implants under the muscle. I hope I don't feel any pain or have any complications. I'm scared what my breasts will look like afterwards too but I will also feel relieved to be getting off this crazy train. Who wants to look forward to having more and more surgeries! Not me. I just want to be happy and live my life.

So true. You are totally right. Best wishes to you for the future
