Hi! So I just got back from my appointment and doctor is reccomending capsule removal because of the risk of seroma and full anesthesia which i understand... I trust his judgment he also thinks I will be an A cup (I have very little breast tissue).

I am planning on having it done in September and will schedule the date in June. Husband is worried because he thinks I am perfect the way I am and is scared (although reassures he will love me either way) he is just scared that I will be unhappy with the results if I am the rare ones with a complication or undesirable result... Something I am taking into consideration however I am very confident in doing this. It is a lot of money to risk being unhappy but I am unhappy now so I dont know.... scary indeed.

I had mine removed 6 days ago (best decision ever) and it was a simple procedure. The dr originally was just going to do it under local but decided at the last min to put me under just in case he got in there and thought the capsule needed to come out. The whole thing took 30 min as the implants came out clean and easy and he left the capsules in.. I had my second occurence of CC in the same breast less than 5 months after capsulectomy and replacement. Do what your PS thinks your body needs not what is the most affordable. Hopefully they get in there and see that the capsules can stay in.

Hey, I hope you're getting on ok at your appointment. I'm just having my implants removed and my ps is cleaning/washing the capsule all being well. I'm pleased about it because I feel I really would have nothing left if the capsule was taken out and my ps said, in some cases, there's really no need to remove. I explant 1st July. Best of luck. Let us know how you get on hun x

Bless you just read your story.My husband loved my "Fake" boobs and couldn't understand it either he wanted to pay for me to go bigger!!! but he loves me and for that and accepted my desicion not that he had much choice but he has supported me.I've gone from a E cup to an A cup and i wouldn't change it for the world.i feel so much more confident and my husband is getting use to them although i do catch him looking at me as if to say why? Every day i feel so grateful and blessed and i realise in life there is no point in wishing you hadn't done something as you can't go back.Life is a learning curve and without making those choices we wouldn't appreciate and know what we know now.My scars will be a little reminder to me to love and appreciate myself the way i am just like each stretch mark i have from my children are a part of becoming a mother.You learn to love the imperfections as they with out always knowing it will be your strengths :-)

Hey how are you! Still planning to remove in September? I got implants only 5 weeks ago and I'm removing next month. Not for me. I've always wanted larger breasts, but implants are not the answer. I'd much prefer to grow them naturally but since that's impossible id rather go back to me! Feel you on the hooters commercial.

Hello! I just wanted to give an update. I went on vacation and stopped checking the site for a few weeks to clear my head. Even doing all that I couldnt help but think about it and be jealous of other girls on the beach with small natural breasts... I felt fake and wondering if anyone was wondering the same while seeing me in a bikini... So I made an appointment to meet with the PS I liked actually for tomorrow because luckily someone cancelled either that or i was going to have to wait 6 weeks! Basically I want to discuss leaving my capsule in and just cleaning it and doing this with local + IV sedation. I have several reasons for these requests... First I am scared of how invasion the capsule removal is and based on what I have read your body will break it down over time and it will ultimately go away... As long as the pocket is cleaned I am okay with leaving it in and just waiting for my body to do it's thing... I have also read women with little to no breast tissue removing it can cause things to look deformed? And again just the thought of a simple removal turning into a 3.5 hour surgery, risks of bleeding etc. I also am scared of full on anesthesia if I could have the type of sedation they do for wisdom teeth, colonoscopies I would be okay with that. And while this is not in the least making me want to go about it this way but I cant help but realize it will dramatically decrease the cost of this... I want it done simply but properly and have faith in his abilities and am hoping by going tomorrow we can come to some sort of compromise as i want to keep it as simple as possible with the least trauma on my body as I already have lupus. Have any of you done it this way? any tips? advice? If all goes well and he agrees to this I may just be getting it done this summer opposed to waiting until the fall... We shall see! wish me luck!

I have a question for you all. Would it be tacky or not normal for me to call and see if they could lower the price by $700? Explain my situation of paying in all cash and that if not I am going to have to wait until end of summer/fall to have my explant? They are super nice so I am not worried about them being rude by any means I just don't want to be out of line... They already gave me a real self discount for mentioning that I found him on the site which I didnt even ask for but even with that $500 discount the surgery is $4,700 and that's in their surgery unit... it's his surgeon fee that is killing me $2,800 opposed to the last lady who's fee was $2,000... Worst is they can say no and I have to wait but I just wanted to get your opinions on going about this or not... Thanks so much!

I dontbelive there is anything wrong with asking about a reduced fee. The worst thing they can do is say no and then you will just have to wait a little longer. They may also say yes. I would ask

Thank you for your story! I can understand your emotions right now. I wish I would have gotten rid of these things a long time ago. 9 years of these pain in the ass things. If only I had found this site or heard about it sooner. Oh well at least I'm doing it now. Looking forward to your continued story.
