I had my BA done 10 years ago, when I was 19 and clearly didn't have much self love. Before my BA I was a beautiful, natural 34C. After implants I'm 34DD. I was in a bad car accident about 6 years ago and as a result, I now have terrible back and neck pain. I've worked out to try to strengthen my back but my chest is way too heavy. My chest and shoulder muscles are constantly tight and my back has no chance to win this ongoing battle.
December 18th, I had a consultation with the PS that did my BA and he agreed that my back would benefit if I had my implants removed. I breastfed my daughter and I would also want a lift. These things are too big and too heavy, I cant stand them anymore. Everyday I just imagine how light and healthy I would feel. But I am also concerned of what I'll be left with. I would be so happy if i could just get back my C cup. I'm worried that with a lift, too much breast tissue will be removed and I'll be a small A or B cup. My PS said that he can puncture my implants and let them drain so we can see how much tissue I have. He has an opening on the 13th of this month and I want to do it but then I'll be 100% committed. Just not there yet...
I've always been used to having a good sized chest. Call it vain but I really enjoy feeling curvy and sexy.
Deep down, I know I NEED to get these things out of my body. Just the fear of the unknown keeps getting to me.
I also forgot to mention that I have a wonderful, supporting husband. And his main focus is my health BUT he LOVES big boobs and I feel like that is also making this decision a lot more difficult. I'm so glad I found this site. All of the stories have been making me feel a lot more confident.. thanks to everyone for sharing your journey.

Usually, after the explant, you end up with more breast tissue than you had before the implant. You are young and, if you do not explant, your back will only get worse. Back surgery is a bummer and if you can avoid it you should. I don't know of a man who doesn't like big breasts-[RS bleep] has taught men that-but your husband sounds like he really loves you so your health should come first. I bet he thinks that also. Thanks for sharing and God Bless....

I finally had my implants drained!
I am SO happy! Two days ago I went to my PS and had him puncture and drain my breast implants. Instantly I felt SO much lighter. My posture improved immediately and I felt amazing. I wish I would have done this sooner but I'm just so glad I finally found the courage to do it! I'm going to post some pictures to help other ladies out there who are struggling with the same issue. Thank you to all of you that have shared your stories. You have all helped make is process less scary and stressful. I will be having surgery the end of April to remove the empty bags and I'm considering getting a lift. But I'm still not sure. I am actually very happy with how they look currently. I was expecting the absolute worst outcome but I couldn't be happier.

The first picture is with implants. The seconds is after they had been drained. Not that much of a difference, huh?
Wish I would have done this years ago

You look fabulous! Your body and implant size are very similar to me. I always had very nice full breasts before BA. I nursed and they lost some volume. I got BA in part because like your husband, mine likes big also! Mine are over the muscle filled to 425 I believe. My PS did a good job, they have just always been painful esp the left and it's hard to be active. I wear a bra 24/7. I'm scheduled this Thursday for removal under local. My PS said I have plenty of breast tissue. I can only pray for a result like yours! Good luck to you! In my opinion, a lift isn't necessary!
And thank YOU for sharing yours. I hope you're able to come to a decision you feel at peace with. Please keep us updated!
