I have stalked this website for a long time now and decided to finally post. You ladies are amazing and I have found relief and peace with my decision to explant through your stories. So thank you. My entire story of my breasts has been a HUGE secret. Only a few people know, not even my parents. When I was 20 I had a breast reduction. I wasn't even that big...maybe a large C or small D, just at the time stick thin so they stood out. But I was embarrassed by them as there was this one particular boy (man) who every time he saw me would make a big production about my boobs. I remember being mortified. I wish I had of had more self esteem then. I took myself to the hospital had the procedure done (with literally no research) and drove myself home the next day. No one knew. Fast forward to when I was 39 and two kids later. I decided I wanted breast implants to fill out my upper pole. First set I had put in were anatomicals, which I immediately knew I did not like. They did not give me the upper fullness. So three months later I went back in to have silicone round textures put in. The left breast has only 280cc and the right has 400cc due to the major asymmetry that I was left with because of the reduction. I never showed my implants off and always struggled to find clothes and bathing suits to hide them. I was embarrassed by them. They are so fake and I never wanted to be known as the gal with the fake boobs, which so often happens when you get them. Its never "oh there is Sally she's so smart"...as soon as people find out you have implants its the first thing out of their mouth or how they reference you..."oh there is Sally the one with the implants". I am lucky in the sense that I have never had any problems with them. I do have the odd pain or more so "stitch" on my right scar. I could lay on my stomach without too much trouble. I actually find laying on my side worse. I just want them out so I can be free, healthy and who I actually am. So here I am today..45 years old...now divorced and a much happier and stronger person. I have an amazing and supportive bf. I have my preop tomorrow afternoon. I am planning on taking two weeks off work. I was thinking of trying to go away to Cuba the second week to relax and get some fresh air. Has anyone done that? I am going to talk to my surgeon about flying, salt water etc.

I am 45
5'6"
155lbs..fairly athletic build, but currently about 10 lbs heavier than I would like to be.
My implants are under the muscle.
My surgeon is going to do an internal lift. So I will find out the details on how that is done.
I have my preop this afternoon so I will know more details.
I plan to ask to keep my implants...I might throw them at the wall just to see what happens!!

Best of luck to you, I`m two weeks postop on Thursday, and I´m feeling great about my result so far.
About travelling, I would not have been up to it, I´ve been quite tired and sore.
Careful when throwing your implants at the wall, they might bounce right back at you...!
All the best, please keep us updated :)

So I read your post in the doctor's office and literally laughed out loud at them bouncing back at me!!! Were you more sore with the removal then the initial BA? I have been reading that the explant is an easier recovery.

Hahaha...glad I made you laugh!
Well, my implants were over the muscule, so I would say same same. I have done a lift in addition though, so I have some pain (discomfort) and stings and pulling in the internal stiching. So happy for you that you were ok to go to Cuba for your recovery. Please take me with you? LOL!
So all you have to do now is count the days to your surgery, you will love having those things out of your body. I´ve posted some more pictures today, and I love my new small boobies. Can´t wait to go back to Bikram Yoga again...

I met with my Doctor today. She is the best! Highly recommend Dr. Khanna.
So it will be okay for me to recover the second week on a sunny beach! She said no problem and sounds perfect. Salt water is fine but no pools. Really all my bf and I want to do is relax, read, sleep, walk on the beach and breath the amazing air. So I was very happy about that. I am going to try to find a sport style bathing suit top.
She said she decides on the drains at the time of the procedure.
The funniest thing about the appointment was that I had asked her a question that she had NEVER been asked before....."could I keep my implants"? I was shocked that she had never been asked that before!! She said sure why not! I just have to remind her the day of surgery.
So now I just have to wait...12 more days!!

What a saga your breasts (and you) have been through! It sounds like you're at the place you need to be to get this done and feel at peace with being just you. I'm looking forward to following along on your journey.
