They are enormous! Heavy! I have a hard time...
WORTH IT$1,700
They are enormous! Heavy! I have a hard time exercising and a hard time breathing, especially at night. I can't wear cute dresses or tops. I can't find bathing suits and bras. I have pain in both of them. It's a spectacle when I wear a bathing suit or a tight top. I immediately put on weight after they were in and the weight has stayed on me. It's feels in a way to support the extra weight I'm carrying. I can't run, dance, and yoga is even tricky. My partner of many years is completely unsupportive so I'm doing it anyway and he doesn't know yet. It's my body! Every time I try and find the courage to let him know my voice won't come out. The appointment is set, the sitters are set, my rides are set. The procedure is paid for! I want them out!! The day can't come soon enough. Normally I wouldn't be sharing any of this but this site has helped me so much I figured it's only right to return the favor. I'm feeling pretty scared but the idea of being able to breathe again without all this weight is too strong. If my partner can't love me for who I truly am, then it's time to move on! Implant Free!!!!!

So freaking scared, nervous, excited!!!
It's like a one minute I'm excited and can't wait, and the next minute I feel like I'm going to have deformed saggy breaststroke hanging like flat pancakes down to my belly button. How am I ever going to wear a bathing suit ever again?
I'm having the explant Wednesday July 15th, and then visiting my mom and sisters Aug 8th.. u know they are going to beg to see! Arggggg!!!! I finally told my partner. What could he say...he said he wishes I would have discussed it with him ( I have in the past and he just laughed it off as if I wouldn't dare) and he has definitely distanced himself from me. What keeps me focused is the thought of breathing without straining, doing yoga, being able to run again, dance again, gain my posture and my balance....to be able to sleep right. It has come to a bit of an obsession getting them out and I can'tell help notice all these small boobs around me and I'm envious. I know I have work to do to get my old body back to a comfortable place. I wish all these girls out there thinking this is what they need to feel better about themselves would read these posts, no one ever does, I didn't even think about the permanence. I see some ladies on here who recover great. I started out with a D, so now, Im going to have a very flat D. Both Dr's I saw said that. One even said "so your just going to hang flat like a pancake, if that's what you want fine" greattttt! More importantly, they have only been in for 5 years, I don't want to have to deal with these plastic bags in me for the rest of my life! If they really do indeed look like awful flat pancakes then I'll consider a lift in 6 months time....maybe. I'm tired of trying to please other people though. If it's right for me I'll do it! I'm glad this site exists so I can vent...right now, there is no one who understands exactly how this feels. So....a few more days! I just had the rx filled today....does anyone know about the bags, drains, can I leave the house? I have to get the kids from camp?

Hi. I applaud your courage and conviction and wish you well. You may be pleasantly surprised at how things turn out. My drains came out under my armpits -- I've seen some photos where they come out below the breast. They are uncomfortable and a nuisance but in concept, I liked having them because what they do is create a "vacuum" to remove the fluids from the spaces where the capsule and implants were. You can wear loose fitting tops over the drains and tubes -- you only need to empty them once or twice a day. The drain bulbs have "clips that you can clip onto your shirt, your waistband, bra, or wherever. I found them awkward and what I did was clipped them both on a lanyard (the kind they give you at a convention for your name tag...or use a string) This way, I could remove/change my clothes without having to un-clip and re-clip the bulbs. I had my surgery on a Thursday and they removed them on Monday. Wishing you all the very best!!

Yes as long as you feel ok but check with your Dr. You really need to REST as much as possible. Explant is not really difficult but it's still surgery. Take care!

I just got my explant yesterday (July 10th), I have drains and they are cumbersome but worth the final result!! I had no pain after surgery, in fact I went shopping later that day and bought new bras lol!! Good luck and congrats on your decision... You won't regret it!!!

I think we all go a little crazy with the pre-op anxieties. But you'll soon be so happy with the feeling of compressing you back together. Lifts can be very helpful for some women, & are such a better way to deal with the sags than implants. I've sensed a tone of resentment in these stories about some doctors, when women start rebelling against implants. As so much dissatisfaction grows with fakes, i think they are getting nervous about it cutting into their profits. They can do some wonderful things with lifts, reductions, & other types of cosmetic procedures. I had a belly Lipo, that I was thrilled with! But implants have left a lot of women unhappy with the fake feel, at best. And there are multiple other complications that can occur, that so many women are unaware of in advance. I got botched from the very start, & spent years attempting to improve through revisions, with only moderate success. When I recently read about the advances in herbal formula enhancements, it shocked me, & helped to give me courage that maybe I could try that, if I'm unhappy with the final, explant results. But at this point in my life, health, & feeling good, really takes priority. And I'm adjusting okay to being small again. It's not so bad. It sure beats feeling like you have baseballs velcroed onto your chest! Sorry to hear about your partner's attitude. Mine was thrilled, because he got so sick of paying for disappointing revisions. He may feel different when/if you have a lift. But the bottom line is, it's your body! And you have to do what's right for you. I think this whole thing in general, freaks a lot of guys out. They can be such babies, &/or fair weather friends. But you'll get through it to a better place, even if it takes a while. I first left the house 3 days post op. As long as your feeling okay (without drugs) for the trip, & not groggy from having recently taking any. Explants according to my doctor, are generally, a relatively easy recovery. Just plan on being out of commission & taking it real easy those first few days. Best wishes on your journey back to natural!

Thanks!!! AND people are saying I need a lift. Just enjoying being natural for now. Maybe that will change, maybe not! :)

To be perfectly honest you looked nice before. I loathe implants - not at all as good as we are told. Maybe you can think about a lift later on. I could have used one. I am much flatter than you but to be honest I'm done with surgeons and surgery and i can totally live with what i have as that is just how I'm meant to me. I will look forward to your updates & good luck to you Xx
