44 Years Old, 20 Year Old Implants, 1 Child, Explant for Health and Comfort. Orlando, FL

I'm so very grateful to have found this site! I'm ready to be rid of my 20 year old implants! This site and all the courageous women who have posted has given me the power to explant. I enjoyed my implants at first but I was very young and insecure. Everyone I knew was having it done and I thought "I want boobs too". No research, just used the doc my friends used, armed with a pic of Jenna Jameson, I was off to get my new boobs. At the time my husband was not in favor of my choice but he felt like I was too headstrong to stop. I love that he honors me even in my short comings. Now, 20 years later, he's like... wait a minute now... He doesn't remember me without them. After some explaining and discussion he wants what's best for me and my health. I've decided to explant because I just feel I've outgrown them. My 44 year old self would never have done this. I'm ready to be just me, comfortable in my own skin. Also, I've wondered why is it so hard to be healthy when I take pretty good care of myself? We will never know if it's the implants or if I was meant to just have one child. Looking back and putting all the pieces together, I believe my Thyroid conked out about 3 years after my implant surgery. Since then, I had 3 miscarriages and half my thyroid removed due to a large goiter. I feel like I have been given a beautiful new fresh start with removing these implants and I'm so excited to start my journey of healing both emotionally and physically. Thank you for reading and stay tuned. Love and Light, XO

I traveled back to my hometown to see the PS that implanted me 20 years ago. The visit was fine and he agreed to perform a full capsulectomy but he wanted to deflate my implants one week prior to my surgery so that my breasts would shrink back slowly and I could get an idea what I would look like prior to the explant in case I changed my mind and wanted my implants replaced or I wanted a lift. Hearing this made me realize that he really didn't understand my position and the thought of 20 year old saline, and whatever debris might be floating around, slowly leaking out into my body scared me to death. In addition, being 150 miles from home wasn't a comforting thought. Then I had another consult with Dr. Scott Rotatori here in Winter Park, FL. He and his staff were very professional, warm and friendly. After a thorough examination and explanation I decided that he was my guy! I had already done some research on him and had a very good feeling about my choice. He will be performing a complete capsulectomy on Monday, July 25, 2016. The cost will be just at $5000 including the surgical fees and follow up visits. I'm really excited to get this behind me and start the healing process. I've decided to take 2 weeks off of work to make sure I'm fully rested as I have a very physical job. My boss, co-works, friends and family have been very supportive of my decision to explant. I think my husband is excited too. He wants me to be happy and healthy. I'll see you on the other side.

I've been using this oil and serum for the past month leading up my surgery in hopes that my skin will shrink back with more ease. I used the oil (Huile Tonic), on my pregnant belly, 10 years ago, and I have not one stretch mark on my tummy. I was very pleased with the outcome. Let's hope I have some luck with my boobs. I do have a few faint stretch marks on my breasts from my initial implant surgery over 20 years ago. I didn't know about this oil back then nor did I know you could get stretch marks from getting implants. You can purchase this at any major department store. I bought it at Macy's. (I have no conflict of interest to disclose.)
