WORTH IT$10,000
A little over 5 years ago, I got breast implants in order to feel more confident about myself. I knew almost immediately that I'd made a huge mistake but I wanted to give myself time to see if I could learn to love them. I developed cc on my right breast but it was tolerable but a bit uncomfortable and hard. I have enough breast tissue to hide it well. I planned on getting them removed but ended up getting pregnant and breastfeeding for 2.5 years. During that time, I ended up getting cc in my left breast but it was far worse than the right. The implant migrated up my chest and developed a "knuckle" at the top of it, which is very visible. I've been in pain every day since this happened. I've weaned my daughter and I'm ready to have my body back to myself. No more fake bags of plastic. I'm so ready to get this weight off my chest. Pun intended.

I have the same type of bump on the top of one breast (that has CC). Did you say this is the implant breaking through the capsule? Did this cause any complications during the removal or require a special procedure? My explant is scheduled for June 13, 2018.

It's almost go time!
With less than 24 hours to go, I'm feeling anxious and ready to get these toxic bags out of my body! The timing is perfect because my left breast has been aching like crazy this past week. The worst decision of my life is almost behind me. This time tomorrow, I'll be implant free and the healing can begin. Emotionally, physically and spiritually.

I just had mine removed 3 days ago and it’s the best decision I ever made. Good luck on your upcoming surgery!

I would love to have mine removed or significantly reduced. I've hated the last set put in after one saline implant busted. I just can't afford to face anything done at this time.
