Surgery 08/16-Excited For My Silicone Implant Removal - Oklahoma, OK

I am having my explant surgery August 16th, I am 44 years old and have had my silicone gel implants for 6 years. I would have to say I wanted implants to feel more secure or i thought that would help me feel more secure. I got my implants for all the wrong reasons and I always say if i had to do it all over again i would not have done it..
my implants were too large , as far as width of the implant, for my chest and so they were "stuffed" in my body, causing extreme fullness/cleavage making it impossible to hide without a shirt up to my neck, otherwise they pretty much hang out the top of my clothes all the time. my right implant has been contractured for 5.5 years and there has always been a fold in the corner of the same implant, which you can see it poking against my skin, making it deformed
anywho,,,, i had perky breasts before, not hardly any sagging and i am told by surgeon my breasts will not be extremely saggy after implants are removed, i'm of course a little apprehensive about the look after the implants are gone but im so excited about getting them out that it really doesnt bother me too much
what were you told about sagging, what results did you notice , how long does it take for your breasts to totally heal and you see " the final result", do your breasts become fuller within time, because when i watch youtube videos of removal of implants they go like totally flat and it looks like deflated balloons?

I got just a little nervous when he said "are you sure " you don't want any new implanta re inserted , but I know I definitely wan this explant I told him in more cited about this than when I got them in , I guess I'm one of the few that hated my implants
Almost like I waste 5grand for getting them
Oh well that time in my life thats what I thought I wanted and would make me happy
Thanks for all the positive feedback this board is awesome
Thursday is coming and getting a little anxiety...
I know this sounds strange but I am thinking is it going to make me look drastically so different that people will really notice , I mean do you stand out to people from going to big to small suddenly. , has anyone dealt with comments or stares or just curiosity ?

Thank you for starting your story on Realself! What you'll look like afterward completely depends on your own tissues, if you get a lift, etc. If you haven't already, check out these before and after results. It might give you an idea of what to expect.
