I got my implants four years ago when I was 22 after having researched for ages. I had wanted bigger boobs my whole life so I thought it was the right thing to do. After getting my surgery done I was super satisfied for a long time. I loved my new boobs, even though I had some rippling in my cleavage (you couldn't really see it, and shortly after I gained a few pounds so it became even less noticeable). After about three years I started noticing how much my boobs were in the way when doing sports and generally the unwanted attention they gave me. Also I hate tha way I have to buy clothes a size bigger to fit and I feel it makes me look fat. Lately I have also lost some weight so the rippling is getting very visible, not that it matters, I have covered up my boobs as much as possible for the last year or so. Now I just long for the slim, flat-chested look, when you can wear a big tee-shirt and not look like you're fat or pregnant, just petite and/or athletic like I used to be. I want to be able to run without having to strap myself into a tight sports bra to avoid hurting bouncy boobs and do martial arts without fearing boob related injury.

I am over the moon about having found this site and after reading endless amounts of reviews I just know I have to do it. Just hope it can be soon!

Sounds like you've thought things out well. Smart young lady. I wish I had known they could be removed years ago. RealSelf is an excellent place to find for strength and support! Glad you found it! It is so true about the clothes, lol. I can't believe how trimming losing the implants has been. Keep us posted on your journey. Best of luck!

So I got my old before photos from the clinic and they make me doubt whether this is what I want to do. They look slightly tuberous (something I never even thought about before my BA) , and that's not something I want. Will they look like that? And they look a lot smaller than what I remembered. I used to wear a 32B, wonder if that's what I'll go back to. Anyhoo, my augmented breasts definately don't make me feel any better. I don't like showing cleavage or showing off size at all. They way I like to dress definately combines better with small breasts. But, whoa, I'm in such a turmoil of thoughts and feelings about this lately. My PS definately didn't do a bad job and I don't feel any pain or have any other problems like symmastia or cc, but it would be so relieving to not have these hunormous balls ond my chest. My husband said I could always just go smaller, but then again that means I'll have to undergo surgery every 10-15 years and I really don't want to do that. I want to be natural and not have to operate "unnecessarily". So, yeah. Lots of thinking and stuff. A good Sunday to you all!

I think your breasts before augmentation were really cute! I'd be happy if mine looked like that!

Thanks! I actually liked them before as well, so no idea why I "needed" a BA!

Know what you mean with the thoughts. I am driving myself insane. At least your husband is supportive. Mine was not keen on me getting a BA.I went ahead and did it, now he says I must stick it out and try to get used to them. Will follow your post. It would be great if you can go back to preop it looks good.

Oh no. I hope you can make him change his mind and support you. Sometimes you need to make a dramatical change to see that you actually were beautiful the way you were originally. At least that's what I feel. I need to be my small me.

Yesterday in the locker room at the gym I caught myself staring at this girl who I just thought was so beautiful with her smallish slightly saggy breasts. Haha! Well, now I know what I want and what true beauty is. I'm gonna so love myself after this is done!

I haven't seen a PS yet but I talked with the one that did my BA via e-mail. He basically said they'll look smaller and a bit saggier, but he didn't try to convince me to replace or do a lift or anything. Plus he's quite cheap so I think I'll go with him again. Maybe January?
