When I was 20 after having my first baby I was very saggy and unhappy with my breasts. I was a flat saggy 34B barely. I decided to get breast implants to improve my self image. Boy was I wrong. The first doctor I went to suggested I go in through the nipple and get 450s overfilled to help with sag. Um HELLO huge boobs. I can't even remember how big I was but lets just say the hopes for a nice C cup were gone plus I had this horrible double bubble on my left side so I couldn't even wear swim suits. I was about to get married and HATED my xlarge boobs so I went to another doctor (couldn't stand my cocky 1st doctor) 6 months later to get a redo. I begged for a lift but he wouldn't do it saying that I was too young. He suggested 380s overfilled high profile and internal stitch for double bubble. I was sooo excited.... Until I woke up from surgery with still xlarge implants, double bubble and 5,000 less cash. 8 years large, 3 more kids breastfed and I'm a very very unhappy 34F. Double bubble is still there so no luck with the swim wear. I can't find a comfortable bra to save my life. I hate wearing tight clothes. I have neck and shoulder problems and headaches...oh the headaches. I am currently breastfeeding my last baby and I'm at the uncomfortable can't wait any longer stage. I am looking for a doctor to deflate them while I'm nursing until I can get them removed. Long term I either want just a removal and lift or implant exchange (much much much smaller) and lift.

I'm very scared about implant deflation because I have heard of people feeling the sharp edges and being in pain. I plan to nurse at least until January of 2015 but I can't image waiting that long with these huge bags in my chest.
My husband and I measured out 800CC of water and he couldn't believe how heavy it was. Thank You but yet he is still wishy washy about me getting anything done. What guy doesn't like huge boobs? I want to feel attractive to him but this is becoming more about daily comfort and less about how I look to him or anyone else. I'm also afraid of the comments I'll get from people because no one here in my new town knows I have implants.

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf! You definitely have to do what's right for you and your lovely body. I'm sure your husband will be okay with whatever decision you make and will probably be surprised by how erotic smaller breasts can be (especially when they are also more perky). :) We are here for you so please keep us posted throughout your journey. I want you to be pain free!

I am still breastfeeding my almost 14 month old! I'm in that can't-wait-till-it's-over phase too! I breastfed my oldest till she was 18 months, so I'm hoping I don't have much longer to go so I can get mine removed too! Hang in there!

I don't know how I missed your review. I too live in OKC area and wanted to show some support for you since you live in my area. Have you decided to explant? Have you gotten any consultations? I used Dr. Brou and couldn't be happier to finally be free of those humongous bags. I also started out as a barely B cup and ended with a D. With weight gain and breast feeding I ended up with a DDD (although the bra fitting clerk said I could probably fit into an E!!!!). Anyway, I got mine out two weeks tomorrow. I couldn't feel better. And no one at work noticed BTW. I ended up telling a lady I worked with because I knew she didn't like implants and I was letting her know how happy I was and about this site. I did have a tough time finding a doctor that *understood (respected) my decision to explant. All three literally said that hardly EVER do explants in our area with no complications. I think it's because we are a little behind the times in OK and aesthetics sometimes trumps health. Anyway, good luck and keep us updated with your journey!!!!

I know a lot of men who do not like huge boobs, especially fake, so you do overestimate it. Your husband seems to be selfish and likes you for your boobs

Today is the start of something new

So today I am getting my implants (9 years old) deflated. I will wait 12 weeks and then get a lift/implant replacement. I am going MUUUUUCH smaller and getting silicone. I'm so nervous about what my boobs will look like after having implants in for 9 years and breastfeeding 4 babies. I know it is just temporary but I'm shaking just thinking about it. I was never comfortable with my small shaggy boobie but I was also never comfortable with my HUGE implants. I'm hoping that I can find a nice middle ground here in the near future. I will post pictures after deflation

I am getting my 630cc Saline implants deflated on 3-19. My actual surgery date is 4-7-15. This will give me alot better idea of what I will do as far as replacement or not. If I really feel I need to replace then I am going smaller for sure and silicone. I really am hoping that I can live with just explanting.

Honestly I can live with my natural if I wear a padded bra, wear a bra during sex, and only get certain types of swimsuits. I like being smaller. For so many years I spent so much time in my closet trying to hide my big implants only to feel like no matter what I wore that was the first thing people saw. I'm not going to lie, for the first few years when it came to intimacy I felt way sexier with the implants. Now we have 4 kids so its a lot more of a time issue :) so my shirt doesn't even usually come off. I want new implants just because a lift alone will not make me look better and I can't go the rest of my life with short bra swimsuits. Good luck to you. Hopefully you are happy with removal. Just remember not to judge your natural boobs at first because they do get better.

Thank you and good luck to you as well.

They are small!!!

The deflation was easy. I wish I would have done it sooner. Even though I have a lot of fluffing to do I am already loving my small boobs! The procedure was easy and I didn't even need any numbing medication. The doc inserted needle attached to suction and with in minutes they drained 400cc from each implant. The only concern I have is how I'm going to hide this for 3 months. Thank goodness it's cold here so I can wear a jacket. You can't go from dd or DDD to A without someone noticing. I had purchased some bra inserts but they only get me to a B. I guess I thought I would be bigger naturally. I think I'm actually smaller. Any way I'm posting pics just have mercy because again fluffing needs to happen. Lift and replacement (much smaller implants) scheduled for April 2nd!!!

so have you "fluffed" up as they say? Just wondering if you have seen any improvement.
January 20, 2015
Very little improvement. It's only been a week and I was saggy before implants. I plan to post new pictures every 2 weeks. But with all that said I am still glad I did it.

Thanks, I had tubular breasts before so I am not very hopeful but like you I'd rather have them gone!

I went from a DD to a minus and not very many people have said anything, most seem to think I lost weight, funny, I'm already pretty small, but whatever :) I think it looks much more proportionate. Maybe you'll end up fluffing enough to not even need the next surgery. Sending happy thoughts and healing vibes your way. Please keep us posted on your journey.
