Silicone Implant Removal After Only 18months...Can't Wait! - North East England

Hi guys, after reading all the posts on here I've decided that i'm definitely going to have the op and I can't wait. I recently posted a comment on Flashgirl's review so rather than repeat myself, i've copied and pasted it!

"I have ended up with a 34DD bust after having silicone implants (over the muscle) in December 2010. After years of insecurity over my body I finally had the op. My mother also had hers done 15 years ago and I saw how happy it made her to have boobs. I have to say that having a fuller figure has been nice, but the novelty has certainly worn off. In fact, I regret what I have done to my body and hate the hardness and fakeness of my boobs. I look back on old photos of me with a small chest and could kick myself as there was really nothing at all wrong with my shape or form. I was just unfortunately sucked in by all the hype about what constitues attractiveness and really believed that having large breasts would make me feel accepted by others and more confident. In fact, it's the exact opposite. One is bigger than the other, they have started to ripple which means I'm scared to have them on show, and they have really hardned, not to mention the pains I've been having in my armpits, around the scar and in my nipples. I am very keen to get back to my old self and accept the body I was born with, however, I am mindful of the possible change to boobs as a result of them being stretched. That said, your photo's look great and so do all the other ladies. I haven't had children and I am fairly young, 28 to be exact. I have a consultation to see my surgeon with My Breast on 27th June. I felt fobbed off the last time I went to see him about my concerns so this time I'm going to request to have them taken out, hopefully at no extra cost. I guess vanity got the better of me but I have certainly learned a good lesson about perceived beauty and real beauty. I think we really don't appreciate the bodies we have, or at least I didn't, however, it really is what's on the inside that counts."

Since writing this I went for a consultation with my surgeon this morning and was seriously nervous thinking that he would try and persuade me not to have them taken out. To my suprise he said that I was totally doing the right thing, although he did discuss possible alternatives to having them removed completely first of all. He said that I am really early to acquire capsular contracture and said that the prognosis isn't good and that even if I had them replaced, the likelihood is that it'd happen again. He did warn me that I'd probably have 'droopy [RS bleep]', but I had to laugh at his choice of words but also because all of the ladies who've posted their post-op photos look absolutely fine. I said that I was aware that this was a possibility but that i'd rather have the droop than all the pain and discomfort and I can imagine it's bliss to be able to sleep on my front once again! So, after that I felt so relieved :-) and it made such a difference to have his support. My mum came with me and examined her boobs and she has a capsular contracture in her right breast but I think she is planning on having them replaced... Anyway, my appointment is booked for 8th August and i'm having them removed under local anaesthetic. Has anyone else had theirs out with local? Not sure what to expect but he said the procedure doesn't take long at all! Wish me luck guys, I'll try and upload some photo's before I had my implants, with implants and post-explant. I just can't wait to be me again x
I will keep you updated with my progress! Thanks again x
