LOCATED IN AUSTRALIA :) Had 299c moderate profile implants placed one year ago at a cosmetic clinic that at the time was booming, they were the "place to go" at the time, for their prices ($6,000aus) and their social media worthy results. However one year later, i have implants that are too big for my little frame & a very noticable double bubble :( Just want them out! Im scared of what ill have leftover once they are removed. Im looking for advice, from anyone who is going through the same thing, there is hardly any reviews from girls as young as myself & im scared!

Hi, I'm not young like you, I'm 37, but I am in Australia too and looking at removal plus lift.i have only had the implants in for 6 months but I know they are not for me I have my second consult tomorrow, super nervous about it. Have you seen a PS about the removal yet? This website is great; you'll find a lot of supportive women going through a very similar situation. Everyone is here for each other. If you need to talk, send me a mesage. It is good that you are young because your skin quality would be better, so it is more likely that your boobs would back to how they were before surgery.

Havent seen a plastic surgeon yet. I am thinking i should get a second opinion before my surgery. The surgeon who orginally placed the implants is performing the explant free of charge so i am kind of stuck either way going back with him as i dont have the money to pay for it regardless. :( i guess whats working in my favour right now is what you said, the implants havent been in there for long and im young. They are however very low in my opinion already, ill post some photos.

I keep hearing from other ladies that if you haven't had them in very long, that is to your benefit as far as what they look like after explant. Everyone is different, of course, but this seems to be the general concensus. I hope you'll keep us updated on your journey! Here's a great post full of pre- and post-op tips you might want to check out!

As what i See from your Photo's, this is not a double bubble situation your implant had bottomed out "bottoming out" which when your normal fold drops from the weight of the implants your doctor should know that already. i have the same situation and I am having my explantation in one week. My advice is to explant while your young when you have a big chance for your skin to shrink back. I am 22 and I have my implants since 6 months.

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

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?
March 14, 2016
No drains, most people don't need them. He just pulled out my implants and stiched me back up.
March 14, 2016
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 :)
