BREAST IMPLANT REMOVAL

Definitely get a 2nd opinion. There are lots of ladies on this forum that have removed their implants with no replacement and were very happy with their results. I think it has to do with your expectations and how you feel about having breasts that may be saggy and look different than they do with implants. For me I'm ok with that and will be getting mine removed with no replacement or lift. I will keep you posted on my experience.

I'm getting mine out oct 14 with no replacement. Search your heart--if you're done with implants, don't let anyone talk you into getting new or smaller ones. I think your body has told you what it wants...explant.

Recently I was in your same shoes walking this path. I have had 4 sets of silicone implants. Finally I had enough and researched the WWW day and night until I found the right surgeon for me. First of all, my main fear and what I heard from other Plastic Surgeons was I would look flat and not be happy. (Hmmm... maybe because that is how a Plastic Surgeon made women look when they did a surgery they were not good at?) Anyway, my search began and ended with Dr. Melmed. I am extremely happy with my decision and look fabulous! My Dr removed the implants, and performed a capsulectomy and did an internal lift. Dr. Melmed specializes in removing breast implants and NOT implanting women. This was the Doc I wanted and that did my surgery. I am thrilled not to be carrying around two toxic bags of silicone if my body and to be all natural again. :) I am 10 days Post Op. Find a Doc you like and trust and that will not ever even mention "replacing". They are extremely hard to find, but worth their weight in gold! happy days... :)

Check out my review and pictures. I was about a 32B pre-Augmentation, was a 30dd/32d after augmentation. I had 400 and 420 cc implants in for 12 years. However I did not have a capsular contracture. I just had my explant two weeks ago and I'm very happy. Since we were similar sizes both pre and post augmentation and had the implants in for similar amounts of time then my results might give you a good idea of what to expect. Good luck!!

Aloha Sophie! You are most definitely doing the right thing for your looks and even more importantly your health! :) I had silicone implants, 4 sets actually, and finally had had enough and I look so much better and and am so much happier without those toxic foreign bodies in me. I am able to finally say I am "free to be me"... all natural and loving it! Of course, I am only 12 days post op, but so far, so good! My breast are beginning to "fluff" out and look normal. My Dr removed the silicone implants and the capsule surrounding the implant, then did an internal lift. I had drains for 24 hours, then followed my Dr's orders precisely, with so cooking, cleaning, nothing! Just remember this is surgery and if you are having an internal lift it is intricate, so you do not want to disturb the Dr's handiwork by doing anything that will mess you up, like using any pec action at all. :) I look better than I ever have in my entire life. Just stay positive and know your results will be fab. Be sure you are using a Dr that has a lot of experience with removal of the implants. My Dr has done over 4,000 explantations, so definitely knows what he is doing and I am proof. :) Please feel free to write me anytime. If you want to see pics, private message me and give me your email and I will share my results with you. :) All good things coming your way.... :)
