Breast Implant Removal - health reasons

Yes - Kudos you look super healthy!

Thank you! I love being free.

exactly. Ironically with breast implants for more than 20 years I learned that having large breasts was just an answer tons story I made up about not being sexy. When I was 20 I thoughts....or would boost my confidence. At 46 I get far more attention and it's genuine - not just the oh wow that's the girl with the boobs....im more confident than ever. I hope my story might inspire some to stay real and to love themselves enough to not put implants in. It's a sad thing to see once you've overcome Your insecurities. When i see girls with them now l get sick to my stomach because I feel bad they felt they needed to do that, and I hope that in ten or 15 years they don't feel as awful as I did.

Yes!! I totally agree! Its all about self body image and self worth! Loving yourself and your body regardless of what people say or think! I definitely think that young women should not get them until they are mature enough to understand that vanity is “skin” deep and true beauty comes from within!! If they still choose the get them, then that’s all of our personal choices of course.....(I chose to get them for many reasons and so far no regrets! But at least I’m old enough and have lived long enough to know the difference!!) But I’m happy for you! I hope you continue to be happy and grow stronger and more confident in your new body!! ;)

It's normal to be nervous. I remember I was too, but I've never regretted my decision. Good luck to you. Hugs.

I'm happy to hear. I hope you are feeling wonderful. Hugs.

Lisa, thank you for being such a source of inspiration and encouragement! I honestly don't think I would have made it to where I am today without your help. Congratulations on your one year anniversary of being implant free!

I'm sleeping on my stomach tonight to celebrate Dogmama. Just hoping others might find our journeys interesting. I don't know that I would have had the courage if I hadn't read others stories - so you and I get to pass the torch. I'm glad we connected. So many great women here!! You - you're a very special one too!!

Great! Was left with quite a bit of extra skin and a deformity after explant. The surgeon who performed my lift was a magician as far as I'm concerned. You can see that review if you click on my profile and scroll. I'd have paid double what he charged!

Congratulations on a successful surgery. Yes - I had all of those symptoms but mine were intact. It didn't take long to feel 20 years younger. I am so sorry you experienced the rupture of both. Surgeons try to minimize the risk and negate it by saying THEYRE LIKE GUMMY BEARS. I am sending wonderful thoughts your way- and hope your recovery continues to be uneventful. I would love to hear how you feel over the next few months.

I decided to post my story because someone else's helped me. Hugs!

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I will let you know how it all goes. Once I get back to the gym and all my other normal activities I will gain a better understanding of my energy levels and find out if the horrible fatigue is still there, hopefully not. No migraine or dizziness since explant. Take care!

Thank you for sharing. I've just found out my silicone implant have ruptures and I'm terrified and just want them out. I've an appointment next wed so I will know more them. Best of luck with your recovery.

I hope you can get them out soon. I always worried mine were ruptured. There's really no way to tell without a mammogram. I am glad you found it so you can get it taken care of. Sending you good thoughts! I'm here for support if you need. Hugs.

The health benefits were worth it for me. You don't know how bad you feel until you feel GREAT. You'll look way better than you think but at the beginning you might feel nervous. There's always a lift if you want later. Shape and softness beat size every day of the week. Feel free to message me if I can help support you on your journey. Exciting!

Super sweet I am hoping you are surprised with the same improvements I have experienced. Many of us have. I knew I felt like I was dying from some unknown cause - sleeping constantly - not feeling rested - my hands would be clenched into fists at night and I had to pry them open - I am a cpa and couldn't remember numbers and sequences when my mind was once like a steel trap, continuous sinus infections. All have improved and for that am so grateful. I really chalked it up to age but thought removing was worth a try. An unexpected bonus was my husband's reaction. He is over-the-top moon happy with my explant results. They are soft, warm, cute and fit my frame just right. I think you will find the same too. Let me know if I can provide support on your journey. Hugs!

Thank you Lisa, I'll keep my fingers crossed and if I don't get the best results from explant alone, I'll have a lift also :) You are a great gal, I've enjoyed the comradery we've shared :) And as for all those women on the pillowtop's site....well what can one say?.....nothing!

We all had reasons we did what we did to ourselves. O hope our reviews help many others.this site wasn't up 25 years ago. Incredible to think the internet wasn't even a thing. I wish I had the chance to see through a crystal ball vs rose colored glasses. They are emotionally fragile and this is their pacifier...

Keep me posted.

Ya I was worried about that at first. Funny thing is only saw one person who noticed - and if others did they never acted like they did. It was fall so I wore hoodies and big sweaters. I wore (and still do) those cute little sports bras with the little pad inserts. I stick them in my bras and bracelets too just to give me a little shape (and I mean little shape). Padded bras didn't and still don't work. I had so much skim before my lift the padded bras either squished it everywhere ...not a good look. After my lift I can do a VS body by vic basic Demi cup / no push up and it also adds a little umph.

Here's what I'll tell you. Likely people will notice but I thought I'm so darn happy to be free I'd be happy to share my story. Most will likely think with that big of a chance that we might have had cancer and don't want to go there. I'd get some of those coobie bras. They're soooo comfy. They will shape you. Enjoy the ease in your shoulders. Enjoy standing taller and smiling bigger and don't sweat what people might think! It's all good you've got this!


You're going to look 20 lbs lighter and ten years younger AT LEAST!

Have you Done your explant Sunnyboobs1?

You might be able to google them. Amazon has them here in the US. That's funny about the padding from your daughter. Hey - if OT works.

I have no regrets about waiting to do the lift. You may not need one? I was left with some significant deformity. The lift took care of that. 420 c are they under the muscle? You'll be fine and OMG you're going to feel incredibly light - literally like the weight of the world is off your shoulders. I'll follow your journey if you're planning to share here.
