33 Years Old. Tired of my 12 Year Old Implants. Murrieta, CA

Got my implants when I was 22. I had a D size...
$6,000
Got my implants when I was 22. I had a D size before but after getting into running my perky boobs became sagging pancakes. My surgeon Dr Newman suggested a lift too which I agreed to do. I've was very satisfied with the results but 12 years and 3 kids later I just want to be my natural, healthy self. Also I have constant pain in my breasts. I've had the necessary check ups and all seems to be okay. My breasts just feel irritated all the time and I can't help to think the implants are to blame. I'll be using Dr Newman again and I'll also be getting another lift. I can't wait!!

Hi JMaire! I went to Dr. Newman yesterday. Everyone in his office is really great but he wouldn't show me pictures of his explants and lifts, which I thought was odd. I'm very interested to see your results.

I'm super anxious to see my results too. I'm measuring my output fromy drains & that will determine when I go back in. I am scheduled for Thursday - but it could be as early as Monday. Recovery is not bad - feel better today than yesterday. Surprisingly I'm sleeping okay too.

bampitt it's funny that you say that I notice that doctors don't really post or have many pics of explant and lifts. Which makes me feel very leary but on this site I have seen phenomenal pictures of patients with breast implant removal!

me, too! That's what makes me think I want to wait on a lift. But, I'm still going to interview a few more doctors.

I've already had a lift (12 yrs ago) with good results from Dr Newman, so I know he does a good job. I think I have too much tissue to do just an explant.

Forgot to add......
My doctor said I'd probably be a B size after the procedure. I haven't been that small since junior high, but I have to admit.....I'm excited for little boobies!

I am scheduled for my explant, reduction and lift on Feb 4th. I'm going to get my story and pics uploaded in the next day or two. I will be anxious to hear how everything goes for you. Good luck!

Hi I have had my implants for 15 years. I too am looking for a change, my right implant ruptured and I really don't want the worry of future surgeries. I can't help but be a little scared of what I am going to look like after. Thanks for sharing your story it helps encourage others!

My official Explant date is Feb 20!!!
So I had my pre-surgery appointment to get everything squared away. I wish it was sooner but I'll be patient. Ironically when I got them in, it was just before my 22nd birthday, and now they're coming out just before my 34th birthday.
I have to add what a fantastic doctor dr Newman is. He's so honest and throe.
I took more pictures. I love seeing all the brave ladies out there with all their before and after pictures. It really helped me so I hope to do the same for anyone else in my position. :)

Out of curiousity, how much is the explantation? Are you going simple removal or en bloc?
February 2, 2015
Hi Brandie. It's going to be $6000. I'm getting an explant and a lift. Not sure what an "en bloc" is......
February 2, 2015
Oh okay good to know. En bloc is when they remove the capsule and kinda just clean out the pocket really good...I guess it's good for people if they believe their health problems are caused by the implants.
It will feel good to be free of your implants and be able to run unfettered! What kind of implants do you have?
