2004 was when I got my breast implants. I was a 32a. My implants are 500cc saline under muscle. 11years 3kids later I want them removed but I'm afraid of what they will look like. Like all of us small breasted girls I was made fun of and hated wearing bathing suits and clothes. I didnt even have enough boob for cleavage! Ugh now its 11 years later I'm regretting that I couldn't have accepted my body the way it was. I breast fed all my babies less then a year. I weigh about the same as I did when I 1st had the surgery. I may be 5-10lbs heavier. Over the years my implants have bottomed out and my right one I got lateral displacement. I hate sleeping on my back because its so uncomfortable and my breast falls into my armpit. I have decreased sensation to the lower part of both breasts and ts been that way since I received them. I also think my nipples are overly sensitive cuz I don't like when my husband touches them too much. It almost feels like an electric shock. Its really irritating.I went in to get my implants deflated now tthey look solo bad ugh! They are worse then what I started with. I'm hoping they will fill out soon. The left shell is poking me and its not even been 24 hrs. I hope the laon goes away I still have a month to go before I decide on removing them totally orgo for a revision with much smaller implants. But right now I'm liking to feeling of being myself after all these years

Talk about saddle bags!!!! These things look horrible!! It feels so weird but at the same its nice to not have 2 huge water balloons in my chest. I Really hope they get better and fill up soon. As for how I feel. I feel good. Except for my left breast its sore I think from the shell.... Or it could be from the needle. Idk

You have had a lot of improvement in a single day! Remember that the shell is still in there, so it will look worse than a straight explant. Right now that shell is folded and your breast is conturing around it and will take on the appearance of what is happening inside of you. Once it's gone, you'll look better. At least you feel good though, which is always great to hear!

Thanks for the support. It helps so much especially when ur self esteem is low. I'm doing massages using gradeseed oil . its supposed to help with toning and firming skin tissue. Thought I'd
experiment and give it a try . I'm so desperate at the moment t

How long before they are removed? I have been told by two docs that after only 2-4 weeks of deflation (like my case with the needle biopsy in my right boob) or in cases of rupture, the scar capsule begins to tighten down. If there is a great deal of that occurring prior to removal, it can sometimes complicate the removal or mean the difference of using the less invasive in-office sedation/local method versus full anesthesia surgery method. What is your plan? I agree with GoingToBeMe comment in your other post that there seems to already be differences within 24 hrs -- just like the change that starts within the first few days following explant. I guess I am worried that you could already be on the mend following removal, so I am not sure why they only drained them at this point rather than removing them?

My Dr recommended 2-4 weeks before replacing to see how much my skin retracts. I opted for 4 weeks. I would love to just be rid of these but I don't think could live without any breasts either. So I am hoping within these 4weeks my skin will tighten up and if I like them then I will remove them completely if not I will get another smaller set. This is why I choose to deflate rather then remove...cost wise

Thanks for posting your story and pics. Looking forward to hearing how your journey continues. I'm sure once the bags are out, things will look a lot better and your skin/tissue can more easily firm up :)

When someone with naturally small breasts has a large implant placed, the lower crease of your breast is lowered by the surgeon. My implanting surgeon never told me this! I now have two folds....my natural one and the one the I planting surgeon made. My breast looked a lot like yours after explant except you have more tissue! I am only three months post explant but I was horrified at first. Although they aren't perfect, they get better all the time. I use bio oil every single day and I massage the heck out of them! I also put Great Lakes collagen in my smoothie every morning to help the skin retract. Worse case, my surgeon can raise my crease to the natural one and remove the extra skin. I barely fit a 32 aa but I feel so much better. It takes 6-12 months to heal!!! Every day you will see changes!!!!! Good luck and congrats

One of the doctors on here explained the initial incision area as a puckering or "temporary deformity" that resolves after time. I would call your doctor's office to see what is normal for your concern of this, and hopefully they can provide the feedback you need to feel more at ease about its current appearance. Bless your heart -- this is just not fun at all for you or any of us.

Did they leave the silicone she'll inside your body?

Its my 1st day back to work..12hr shift. I am wearing a tight compression sports bra and I'm totally flat! I wonder how long I should wear this before I start "fluffing" up? I am worried that wearing this bra will constrict and prevent my breasts from firming and filling up and out. I'd appreciate any feed back or advice
