Removing Saline Implants Under Local at 60.

At 60 (not sure how that happened!) I've decided to get rid of my implants. I'm 5'6" and 135 lbs and tired of looking matronly, so my saline implants under the muscle are out of here. My story is very much the same as many of you lovely ladies. Had silicone implants in 1991 after breast feeding my second child, had an infection in 1995 which led to removal. At the time silicone was not available, so I now have saline. Like a fool I said lets go bigger when I had them redone. When all was said and done I went from a C to a DD with too much upper pole fullness. All these years later, implants are in the same place but the natural breast has slid off (Dr. words) the implant. Not a good look. Wednesday they will removed under local, no drains. They have given my 3 Xanax to take the night before and the morning of if I need them. I may post some pics at some point but need to figure out how first!

This is how I was as well! My tissue slid off the still nicely positioned implant and I hated the way they looked. Plus I just hated them. I had mine removed using local and it was so easy!!! Good luck! You will be amazed how easy and you won't regret it. Just give your body time to bounce back, it will be a long process.

Thanks! With less than 24 hours to go, I'm starting to feel a bit nervous, mostly about my results.

Good luck to you in this process. I had my silicone implants removed after only 1 year because I immediately got sick & hated the size (too big). I am beyon happy to be back to my natural self. I'm sure you will be too! Cyber hugs!
