I have read so many messages on here I feel I am getting addicted:) I got implants 2 years ago for all the wrong reasons. 2 years divorced, self esteem hit bottom and a boyfriend that is no longer around. I got married in October and have a wonderful husband. At my shower one of the games was a joke about my breast size. It really embarrassed me and I really started realizing how much I hate these things. I was a 36B and wanted to be a full C, came out of surgery a full D. The are pretty nude, but they feel enormous in clothes. I met with my plastic surgeon and he wasn't very supportive and said he would do it but most people get them back. I know I won't do that, but pray they at least look ok and close to my old boobs. My poor husband is extremely supportive but doesn't know what to expect as he has never seen the other me. Need support and encouragement. I know it is the right thing but will take any advice or information on what to expect. It looks like it take a bit for them to "fluff up".

I know how you feel. I am having my 420cc under muscle removed this week Jan.21/15 after only having them for 18 months. I HATE them but am terrified of the outcome. I'll keep you posted.

I will say a prayer for you, please keep me posted. I just hope they are somewhat like they were before. I realize now they weren't so bad.

I can relate. I have had mine for over 20 years and from the first two years, wish I had smaller ones. I am also a D cup. I went from a B/C cup to a D. I got 350ccs under the skin. Did you get saline or silicone? Under or over the muscle? High/moderate plus/moderate or low profile. I know, lots of questions. If they are saline, like mine, I am going to have them deflated first, wait to see how my skin retracts, then remove them after that period and see about a lift. I do plan to get saline implants again but not the high profile (for me they look like torpedoes). I may opt for moderate or moderate plus profile. That's why I ask all of that since it can really be different for everyone. My guess is you might have he moderate plus profile. Oh, and I had asked for a "conservative" look. So this time I'm taking a lot of photos so my surgeon knows that I mean by "conservative." Good luck to you. I look forward to how it all turns out. Oh, too, I feel embarrassed by mine too. I'm not knocking it for others, but it's just not me.

Mine are 300 cc silicone under muscle, moderate profile I guess. Now I wish I had done saline so they could drain them. Still ready to move forward!

same exact situation as im in now, im only 24, I wasn't that bad before, was a c , came out D, hate my breast, they also look huge in clothes and I miss the old me, id rather have saggy breasts than what I have now, I am very depressed. My dr says if I get them taken out theyre going to look like an empty pillow case :( have you gotten this fixed yet?

You wrote "I met with my plastic surgeon and he wasn't very supportive and said he would do it but most people get them back." I forgot to ask are you using the same dr that put them in? At the time you had them put in, did he favor silicone over saline? Aside from all of that, it really seems you are headed in the right direction taking them out because of how YOU feel. This is a strong sentiment that you wrote - "It really embarrassed me and I really started realizing how much I hate these things.'

Yes, I am using the same physician. He said about half he has done a removal only on, come back to get them redone. He favored silicone because he said it gave a more natural look. When I went for the preop on Friday, his surgical nurse was very supportive and encouraging and made me feel better about my decision. Many people love them, they just aren't for me.

Surgery is tomorrow!

I am so ready but nervous at the same time. I know it will be great, but not knowing is the hardest part. Hoping they look halfway decent. My poor husband is being great, especially since he didn't know me prior to the big boobs:) And we just got married in October. I am ready!! Will update soon.
