I've hated my implants since I got them in 2009. I just finished nursing my son and my Boobs were flap jacks...and I didn't really think much about getting them. Everyone was getting them and so I thought no big deal...HUGE mistake. I told the doctor to be sure I was proportionate...LOL. I was originally a 34 B and wanted a SMALL C... I ended up with 34 D's (425 cc in one and 400 in the other) on my small 5'1 125 lb body. I've always been embarrassed of my implants and cover them up as much as possible. My self esteem has been at its lowest since I got them which is ironic because shouldn't it be the opposite?? I Hate bathing suit shopping because nothing fits correctly. And I hate the gap in between them...the doctor was supposed to put them over the muscle because of my chest cavity and decided to go under the muscle while I was on the table leaving me with zero cleavage. I've been thinking about explanting for 3-4 years and finally pulled the trigger after my first husband (my kids father) was killed in a car accident in Feb. I need to be sure I am 100% healthy for my kids and silicone implants that will eventually rupture or need to be replaced don't fit into that plan. I never had a problem with my boobs before and am looking forward to getting them back! I am very active and athletic and am confident they will bounce back. My doctor said I had great skin elasticity and suggested that I explant and heal and wait to see how well they fluff before I decide on a lift. Regardless, I don't think I'll be getting a lift...ill just do extra push ups. :-) 3 more sleeps with these watermelons in my body. Can't wait to be natural again and sleep on my tummy!

I got my 550cc's in 2009 as well. Like you I was thinking about explantinb for about 3 yrs now. They were too huge and made me feel top heavy and I was never able to wear nice tops. Well I got those babies removed on 4/11/16. On my 38th bday!! It was under local anesthesia and only cost $500 :) it was a breeze. Now it's just waiting for the incision to heal and see if the fill out. They are pretty droopy right now being that it was 2 days ago. Good luck to you!

Congrats to you! I wish I could've done local but mine are silicone and I wanted the capsule removed just in case of a rupture. Did your doctor tell you to where an ace bandage for a week or so to help them fluff? That's what mine suggested I do.

I live in OK. Thinking about getting mentor silicone implants. Almost a wanting ng to go to small c. 57 years old. What do you think?

I would do a lot of research and make sure you know what to expect As far as possible complications, maintenance, etc. If you are willing to accept the risk, go for it! Implants look great on on a lot of people...they just weren't for me. Good luck and I've been very pleased with the staff at Premier Plastic Surgery In OKC.

I read a lot about vitamins before and after surgery and wanted to share my findings. See the protocol I found in my pics :-) I've been following this almost 100% for 2 weeks.

Feeling a little nervous today but I know this is the right decision and they boobs will look awesome. Praying for a quick recovery and great result. Xx

You are going to look and feel fantastic sweetnes! It takes a wee bit of time to retract for some skin like mine, yours will probably pop back to start easier! Yay for you! Soo happy for you!... Xxxx

Surgery went very well. The doctor told the hubbs that it was a best case scenario. No rupture, easy to remove capsule without taking too much breast tissue. Yippee! He aggravated a few muscles but that's all.

I haven't had much pain at all so I haven't taken any pain meds. I feel a little sore but that's it..,.thank you Jesus! The most uncomfortable part is being wrapped in the tight ace bandage. My doctor said I couldn't shower until today and that I had to keep myself wrapped tight for a week or so to help my skin and tissue retract. Anyone else go through this? I'll post pics when I de-mummify myself for shower. Cheers to small boobies!
