So I had my first BA in 1999 with the dreaded PIP implants done by Transform in Manchester, uk. I was a 34AA before this and always wanted bigger boobs like my friends! Initially I loved them but soon they became painful and looked rippled. This was worse after having a baby and breastfeeding. Lumps appeared soon after and I had silicone in my lymph nodes from a leaking implant on the right. I had the awful things removed and they were both ruptured and in a terrible state. I wanted them out and not replaced but my surgeon warned me of a terrible cosmetic result and I was convinced to have them replaced which I did in 2013. I had mentor 300cc implants replaced over the muscle as before. This went well and I had a quick recovery. Since then I have had another child- tries to breast feed but struggled with engorgement and a difficult latch due to the abnormal breast shape I had. I wondered why the hell I had more implants: I have since decided to get them out completely. I hate the way they look- too much upper breast fullness, rippled and scar tissue around them. I am booked for explant with casulectomy in 6 days time. I can't wait.
My surgeon is going to do some internal plication sutures to help prevent the skin sagging. Something I haven't heard of on here. He is an experienced plastic and oncoplastic surgeon who I have complete faith in. I will upload some pics

Me too! Let's stay in touch and share notes!? :)
I had an appt last week in London but he didn't want to do capsulectomy and wasn't very helpful. Continuing the search...

I can recommend a very good surgeon who operates in Kent. She is an oncoplastic reconstructive surgeon called Miss Karina Cox. Not sure if that's the right side of London for you. I am up in Nottingham now but would def have gone to her if still in the south x

Sending positive thoughts your way! You are going to look and feel great! I just had mine out for good after 30 years of implants. I am so glad my PS did not try to talk me into more implants, I think that happens a lot. You are smart to have them out sooner rather than later. Your little one is going to be so happy to cuddle up to soft, warm, natural boobies! XOXO
