Breast Implant Removal - Newcastle Upon Tyne, GB
there out!!!!
Right down to details....admitted 7.30am thismorning, in the theatre for 8.30 laid on op table (sounds scary! It was haha) the team were lovely and talked me through what was going to happen so I wasn't unsure. Played some lovely music too haha Jackson 5 lol, they then put some blue screen in front so I couldn't see (which I requested as didn't want to be scared of what was coming) Mr collis then told me he was going to put the local in which stung a bit but was OK, he said it was worst part so I felt relieved at that....my !egs were literally shaking from top to bottom from worry and nerves but the nurses talked to me and calmed me down, then Mr collis started and asked if I could feel anything ...yepslight sharp prick bit like a needle....more local he said hahah I've got low pain threshold lol so he continued...was fine after that...could feel slight burn sensation when they go through the skin but not at all painful just warm so he put another load of local in...think I had 4 lots in total haha...next tubing I know I feel pressure on my chest and can sense his fingers in and woohoo ones pulls out (out it comes he says lol) then the other side and then he stitches me up ???? slight pulling and Little's sharp pain but was over In literally ten minutes! That's what he said...took ten minutes in all to actually get them out. I sat up off the bed and was a little light headed but OK nothing out the ordinary they said. Wheeled me down to get my blood pressure checked and all OK...back to my room and had a brew and sandwich...checked me over...gave me some info about what to do and not do and they even provide you with a lovely post op bra which I though was really nice of them...get my bandages off in two weeks and checkup with the surgeon in 6wks.. .I felt relieved straight away as soon as I sat up from the op table...its a surreal feeling as if someone has literally been set on my chest for the last 2 1\2yrs my kneck and shpouilders feel loads better and I look better too...my other half got to stay in the room I was staying g in and watch TV with a brew and as soon as I came back in and he saw me with my op bra on he had a big grin on his face and said you look lots better and that he didn't want to admit but the implants made me look bigger all round than what I was. I knew it too but thought I could hide it...they showed me the implants and he said they were the cheapest ones and asked if it was transform which I said yes and he nodded and said thought so they are terrible for it.... It annoyed me as I was told by drclarme at the time withtra storm that they highly recommended them implants and that they were the best hmmmm not! Cui cohesive gel not good a d cheapest. Anybody who is going g for breast Aug please really think about it as I would never do it again ....I'm glad I done it and would have always done it and don't regret doing it but am so glad there out....the come of them far out way the pro's believe me! All in all I would recommend local and Dr collis all day long...wished I went there to begin with but hey ho we live and learn....ready to heal now and start to get my body back to hkw it was ???? x

So here it goes....I've read numerous amounts of reviews on this site and want to thank all the people I've messaged and asked for advice from, without you all I wouldn't be were I am now (or should I say "about to be" ?. I started to think about removal a few months back now when I sat and thought about how much I've changed and things I've been through and my health too. I got my implants on 27/06/12 at transform manchestrr , 410cc round cohesive gel £4090 in total. I loved them instantly and was so happy I know had my boobies I had always wanted. I've had no problems with the implants and they have settled nicely however as times gone on they have become more of a hinderence than anything. Constantly in the way of doing things ..gym...work..not to mention new clothes.
You see I always wanted to get rid of my saggy little 34 c boobs and hated them but never realised how there was actually nothing wrong with them apart from lacking a little fullness on top (I've got a 13yr old daughter so as we know childbirth changes them lol) so I'm now fed up of having to get bigger clothes so my top half can fit into them and bigger dresses because the top is way bigger than the bottom. I wanted to be 34dd and ended up ff!!!! I loved how they looked in my bikini on holiday but then got sick of how much my kneck hurt from the straps holding them up...not good. I've not even showed them off much to be honest as I don't like to be in the lime light so to speak or centre of attention with people oggling my boobs... That's not what I got them for it was pure!y to fit nicer in my clothes and bikini more than anything...how wrong could I be.
So I would say not long after getting them done,prob about 6mths I started to suffer with anxiety pretty bad to the point I burst into tears one night infrtont of my other half, I didn't know what was wrong with me and just wanted to be back to my old self. I went to the doctors and he referred me for councilling which has helped so much. I never thought at the time that I it could be down to my implants and even when getting councilling didn't mention my boob job as I just thought it we because of my stressful job. It was only until I read up on implant removal that I thought it could all be linked. My weights never been the same either and I feel heavier than what I've ever been. I'm 140lb now 5'5 and was 134lb at the time which isn't massive I know but to me it is.I feel like I can't do my gym work as good with these big things in the way.
So here I am today had a consultation around 4wks ago at Nuffield Newcastle!e and spoke with a lovely surgeon nick collis who said the procedure to remove can. Be done under local aneasthetis and would take no longer than 30mins tops. He said me implants are fine and have no problems from outside that he can see or feel and that compared to other ops he does tbnis procedure to remove is pretty straighgforward. He made me feel toltally at ease and I knew that I wanted it doing. So I booked in for 6th Feb!!!! I would love to know if anyone else has had a local and what it was like as I'm totally bricking it now and terrified of what its going g to be like as I'm wide awake and totally aware of everything , also how long did people wait till they were back in the gym? I've got a post op bra from marks and spencers which is 34c so hope it fits as I'm guessing the size pretty much and going off my pre op size lol . I've had so many thoughts going through my mind about is it the right thing to do...should I leave them in as I've had no issues with the actual implants but then I read about all the problems and risks and my health worrtkes and know its the right thing. I'm off work now till the end of the month so don't want to risk any complications on recovery and hoping its enough time off to heal and get back to how I was before... I'm hoping that my anxiety goes too, its a lot better than what it was as I have to mentally talk my way through situations that set me off into a panic attack but I'm hoping once there out this will be relieved even more....just want the old me back x thanks for reading my review and I look forward to all your advice and comments ????x
