Getting excited now!
Only thing i am nervous about is the type of anesthetic i will go under to be put to sleep.. Last time i had just an IV sedation, and that was awesome, i woke up feeling a little sleepy and thats really all. I didnt feel groggy or have a sore throat or sick, nothing!
This time around, the surgeon i am going to has changed place of surgery, they now operate in a private hospital instead of a cosmetic clinic which means GA for me :( I have never had GA and im really scared of it! Not sure why, i think mainly just the thought of having to have breathing tubes and not being able to breathe as naturally!

Anyways, a little update on the boobie situation... funnily enough, the double bubble hasnt been as bad lately, it seems to be stretching out a little and become less noticable. Nether the less, i am still so excited to remove these things!! Waaaaay too big for my frame, and they sit soooo low, if only i could go back to a year ago and not make that stupid decision :(

You're making the right decision! Good luck to you on your surgery. It will be the best thing you ever did for yourself. Don't be too hard on yourself & just focus on the future.

Good luck! :) I just had mine removed, after having them for 11 years, and Im very happy with my results! I got mine when I was only 19, and mine too were too big for me, sagging more and more (turned out they were ruptured) and generally uncomfortable. Im sure you will be happy with your results! Dont worry about the anesthetics, the clinic has done this thousands of times :) I've been through this several times now and after every time I feel like I really did worry for nothing :)

You will be ok, don't worry ! And beautiful, and comfortable ! You are very young, so your skin should bounce back very well ! Take care !

I remember I was so scared of GA before my breast augmentation surgery, mainly the thought of not waking up scared me. Now that I will be removing my implant soon, I'm starting to get nervous again. How did the surgery go?

I forgot to mention that they feel very low! Lower and lower every day! Only 299c implant and very heavy for my little body. Wanting some advice on what to do pre op. Any skin tighting cremes/ chest exercise etc?

Hey, I was 25 when I had my implants removed (I only had them for 3 months) -- they bounced right back! Youth is on your side, as it was on mine :) I look exactly the same as I did before I ever got them done, try not to worry too much. Your going to look great, and soon you'll be able to put this whole thing behind you.

I should also note that I had "double bubble" too, the implant felt like it was literally sliding down my rib cage. So don't worry that complications will some how effect your results, they won't. It will all "snap" back.

How did the doctor explant for you? Did you have drains/pocket adjusted etc?

No drains, most people don't need them. He just pulled out my implants and stiched me back up.

Once, the implant is out the "pocket" closes it's self, and it's typically best the doctor to leave the capsule as well. It's usually very thin and will get dissolved and broken down by the body on it's own.

Hi!! I am 24 years old and I have my implants removed 1.5 months ago. I only had them for 2 months because I really hate them and I realized it was a huge mistake for me.
Don't worry, you will feel better without that and the age is on your side :)

So my explant is still scheduled for the 15th of april. Im still so so scared as to what ill look like afterward. My implants feel heavy and even worse when sitting down. I feel like they are much lower than they were pre op and definatley lower than they are supposed to be. At the point i wish i never had them done :( wasted my money and destroyed my body
