Very large 600cc implants must go !!! I'm 40 had implants for 18yrs

i always felt like I had a little girl's body I was always very small and petite I'm 5'6"and I 100 pounds ... My original breast size Was a 34 B .. Oh I would give anything to be back to my original size I really wish that I knew now what I didn't know back then ! But I was young and felt that this was the right choice for me so I started looking for plastic surgeons to give me more of a busty look so I can look more like a woman ! Looking back on it now I feel very silly ! So my first breast job I had done when I was 22 years old they were saline filled implants and they were filled to 470 cc that brought me to a very large C to a double D depending on if I was a 32 or 34 around , I never liked my first breast job they always felt like I had water balloons very uncomfortable they were very high up on my chest they never settled into place and they rotated and I had a lot of rippling and had a very fake look! So in December 2009 I decided that I either wanted to remove these implants altogether or go ahead and get a new set of the new cohesive gel implants because they were supposed to feel more natural and not have any Rippling .. I met with a fantastic plastic surgeon and he talk to me and explained that if I was to remove my implants that I currently had which were 470cc that I would have to have a breast lift well I didn't want any scars from the left .. so I opt to go ahead and get 600 cc cohesive gel implants put in . I absolutely love them right away I thought they were going to be way bigger which I'm glad they weren't I was able to fit my same bras and clothes ' I'm still not too sure why when my first breast implants were 470 and these were 600 maybe because my first set was a high-profile , and the set that I have now is a moderate profile because I explained my doctor that I want to have a natural look ! At first I thought they going to be way big , which I'm glad they weren't I was able to fit my same bras I'm still not too sure why when my first breast implants were 470cc and these were 600 maybe because my first set was a high-profile in the set that I have now is a moderate profile because I explained my doctor that I want to be very natural look. I absolutely love my second breast job they look very natural and they feel very nice. But I'm getting a lot of back pain chest pain , and other health issues have came up , I am not saying there from the implant it just seems weird after I got the silicone gel implants things started happening not to the point where I need to be on medicine or anything like that it's just I'm starting to put the two together and thinking maybe it's time to remove these ! I know these implants are way too heavy for my small frame as well , so it looks like the best decision for me is to have these breast implants removed ! I am extremely nervous I found a fantastic plastic surgeon in Newport Beach and I'm very excited nervous scared on having this done because , I'm going to have them removed without a lift right now to see exactly what my body is going to look like, I'm going to give it about six months to a year and if I don't get any shrinking of the skin which I'm praying that it actually goes back into place a little bit , i'm also praying that I get the fluff back in my breasts to at least my original size . I truly want to thank everybody on this website you have given me the courage and the strength to move forward reading your stories and seeing your pictures has been so amazing to me !

I seen my doctor my doctor for a second consultation on Saturday September 12th I was very pleased to hear that he said he felt I was they have great results and to give it time for my skin to retract back . He told me he could take up to six to nine months for me to see my final results, my doctor told me to hydrate with a lot of water and use lotion such as coconut oil for my skin and a very supportive sports bra for at least six weeks plus . I am very nervous on my results! I see so many amazing results on here . That's what's giving me the courage and the strength to move forward to have these huge bags off my chest . I can't wait to feel the relief that all the you Beautiful brave women on here describe after their surgery .
He also said that he's not going to use drains unless he feels it's necessary while he's in doing surgery.
I am having my procedure done under local . He said it's pretty straightforward as I don't have any cc to worry about . He said I should be in and out in about 45 minutes to an hour . I am very nervous because I will be awake through the procedure, but he says he does this quite often under local and there's nothing to worry about . Has anyone else had their breast implants removed that are local ?

The closer my surgery date gets the more nervous I'm getting about going under local instead of General , I just hate the feeling of coming out of general anesthesia , it makes me groggy and nauseous, and sometimes I get sick to my stomach which is usually not fun right after surgery ... few other perks of going local That its $1800 cheaper because I don't have to pay for the surgery center and anesthesiologist and on top of that I've seen a lot of women who say that they just walked right out felt great some of them even went shopping and I seen one story one here that one Woman even drove herself home .
I have been following lots of explant reviews on this wonderful website with all you lovely ladies sharing your stories . Some have said local was wonderful and it was like a spa experience other women explained that it was a little painful others explain it was a little scary . I have a high tolerance of pain. I had both my kids all natural and both were 8 pounds . But I guessing i'm a bit more scared as I'm having my breast implants cut out of me and stitched up with me fully awake . I just felt I needed to vent a little bit. If anybody had any type of experiences that they like to share with me I'd really appreciate it . Everyone's advice and support is more than appreciated, I couldn't do this without all of you wonderful women and your stories! I would've never had the strength or the courage !
Thank you :-)
