My whole life I had little to nothing on top. I always felt embarrassed at the beach when I was growing up an kind of avoid getting in a revealing swinsuit...Why I really dont know because I looked great....I had small boobs but thats what I was given.....Time went on and I got married and had two kids. Didnt breastfeed but my boobs were engorged with my first one trying to breast feed but it just didnt work. My gland were too narrow or something but my breast actually touched each other in the middle! Well they shrank down and looked like dried prunes for a bit then smoothed out to my normal breast size they were a tad bit bigger because I had put on a little weight but still aa. During my marriage I wanted BA and my husband didnt want me to have them so I didnt pursue it. 10 years later we split up and eventually divorced. I wanted to get my BA while it was my decision because thats what I wanted it for is to fit better in cothes and swimsuits. So I spoke with friends who had the procedure done looked extensively on line at the positives....mainly trying to figure out the size. I had 2 consultations and settled with a Dr. in Oklahoma City because of the price. He had 40 years experince in BA and highly recommended. I really wrestled with myself not wanting to spend the money and it was kinda funny because all those years I wanted them as i was doing the rice test, i discoverd that I liked the flat look of my chest...that it suited me and my figure... but I thought do it now or you will never do it.....So I did....And as soon as I got them I knew they didnt suit me. I had round saline HP. I went from very active to not wanting to do ANYTHING. I felt my breast were to large for my frame and they felt very heavy and there was no way I was jumping or running.was painful and very uncomfortable and scared of bottoming out. When I bent down I had to hold them next to my body because one felt very hangy (for lack of a better word) .
All in all I wasnt please....not my mind body or soul. Explant was the only thing that i could agree with. The thought of getting smaller implants and still feeling those awkward feelings and discomfort and the ever presence of them for the rest of my days wasnt an option for me so I called my PS and he wanted to do a revision at no charge to me but I was done with it.
So asked to schedule and explant and had my saline round hp 350-370 placed subfacial, taken out from auxillary incision. Incision area is a little sore but other than that everyting is A-OK :) I am glad to see my little ones back.... They look worn out, and rightfully so having someithing shoved in there with them for 9 weeks.
But the pain and everpresense of the implants are gone and I can concentrate on my workouts and trying to stay healthy so I can chase my grandbabies around one day, and if they kick me in the boob by accident ..hey no problem....ITS ALL GRANDMA!! lol

They are still quite tired looking but have been treating them with creams and aloe vera and keeping myself hydrated. I don't regret the explant. My daughter and I have started riding bikes and I have started light work out mainly legs bottom and abs :) Feels nice to work out again!

Thank you for such an honest review. You can get carried away sometimes with the excitement of having something you never had before. I'm glad you listened to yourself and your body and did what was right for you. Hope your good healing continues.

I feel the same, I'm not as active since I got implants. I can't wait for that to change! Glad you're happy with your explant :)

Did you get an explant or you can't wait to acclimate to the implants? Either way I hope you are doing great!! :)

I'm going to explant at 9 weeks post-op too! Very happy to read about someone who had felt the same I'm feeling now. Could you tell me a little more about your healing and feelings? How are your breasts? Did they come back to what they used to be? Thank you :) and sorry for my very bad english

was your removal not worth it? do you like your results? You marked not worth it for removal so just wondering.

The beast augmentation wasn't worth it. The explanation was free. I am happy with the results. I am back to normal!! I'm so sorry for not getting back to you sooner 325cc!! I didn't see it until today! How did everything go with you?

So glad you are free of implants. How is it a year later?

Thank you for sharing your personal story on RealSelf. It's nice for other women to see the process you went through, even though this may have been difficult for you. I'm glad to see you have a happy ending and that you feel great about your original breasts. I agree that implants just aren't for everyone. Often times we look great with what we've been given. Hope you have some grandchildren on the way soon!
