Thank you to all the women who have posted before and after photos! I will do the same once my journey give me something to post. My story is the same as many I read. 8 years ago I got implants because I live in the land of plastic (OC California) I went in because my breasts where a little too low. Chose implants, I have never really loved, 8 years and 10 lbs later they feel HUGE, uncomfortable, matronly, slutty, just yuk! Lesson learned.
For my situation I would like to have them drained, and then removed with a possible lift, although I am unsure until I see them.
Does anyone in OC know of a Dr. that will drain only (to begin with) for a reasonable price?? I am having a difficult time finding that...

I think it is so very interesting that we all change so much. We got implants... we thought that was the right choice, but 1 pound 1 year at a time and these things are out of control! I cannot believe how huge they are. I just booked my explant, June 24th. And I know many of you have been through these thoughts "am I making another wrong decision??"
These pictures of me now do not even remotely resemble who I am on the inside. I am excited and scared.

Im 41 yoa and I just had mine removed from Dr. Susan Kolb with no lift and I love how natural my breast look. 12 years ago I had them put in and I have no stretch marks. I had drains and she really has given me a great consult and getting my auto immune system back on track. All the energy goes right to the foreign implants in your body. You will feel alot light and better when you have them removed ladies.

I removed mine in February and I'm glad I did. My chest doesn't feel weird anymore and I can sleep without a bra. I buy such nice bras that I don't think anyone has noticed.

I think u will be very happy. It is a little shocking at first but like everyone says they look better every day and all the other stuff that comes with having them out makes it so worth it :)

Thank you so much for all the positive comments. I think it is just fear of the unknown that most of us feel.
