$2,000
hi everyone, three days ago I did the explant and I would like to thank all of you and realself. All of this wouldn't have happened without your suggestions and stories. Here in Italy it's very difficult to find a plastic surgeon who agrees with the explant and thank to this website is found one who did a great job.
I had implants since 2004, under the muscle, and all the ps I went before I found realself told me I was crazy and that it was impossible to do the explant without becoming a freak! they were wrong! here my pictures after three days from the explant

One month to explant: so scared!
Hello girls, i will be explanted in one month, on March 10 i think.
It's useless to tell you how much i'm nervous.I start to sleep bad in the night!
I have one question, if you can help me: would it be a problem having period the day of the explant? I have problems with my period and i can't calculate well when it comes every month because i have endometriosy.
Thanks a lot!

Hi :) dont worry is normal to be so nervous but everything will go right :) I asked my doctor before surgery about being operated with the period cause my period is irregular and I might have it that day. He told me it is not a problem at all, there is no more risk of anything so dont worry :)
I am now one week after my explant, and since first moment after waking up, I felt released, I dont know how to explain but I felt complete, just like myself, although I couldnt see anything because of the bandages till day 4 :)
I wish you the best in your surgery :D

I did not look at your before photos. But your breasts look awesome. They look perfectly sized for you! I recently had my implants drained of all the saline and now have to have to actual sacks removed. But I love my new soft boobies!

Hello everyone, i' 38 yo, from Italy. Sorry about...
Hello everyone, i' 38 yo, from Italy.
Sorry about my english, i could do some mistake :)
Anyway, i got my BA 12 years ago, when i was 26. At that time i had very small boobies and the left one was smaller than the right one.
I remember some boy was kidding me about the size of my chest and after sometimes i decided to do BA (i was stupid and,above all,ensecure)
During this 12 years i often thought about implant removal and also talked to the the PS who did the BA but he said: ABSOLUTELY NO.
He told me that once you did BA you can't come back because the boobs would be deformed,awful ecc ecc and that mine was just a psycological problem.
I went home depressed and cried but i didn t give up and found another PS who agreed to make the silicon removal.
I forgot to say that 2 years ago i developed to have autoimmune thyroid and started to have neck and shoulder aches (i m afraid this is silicon fault)
My breast implant removal is scheduled for February 2016 and i'm scared,of course, but hopefull at the same time.
I want back my small and soft boobs and i don't care now about people's opinion.
I charge some pic .I think they look very artificial. They also are quite hard when you touch them.Impossible not realize they are fake! the implant is under the muscle,anatomical shape,300 cc.

Hi, congratulations on your decision to remove your implants!! Makes me so mad when plastic surgeons say how deformed we'll all be without our implants yet the reality is most of us look absolutely fine! You are young with very good skin tone and am sure you will be pleasantly surprised. 14 days ago I had mine removed after 12 years, 300cc under the muscle same as yours, Before implants I was a very empty and saggy b cup as I breast fed for a long time and mine actually look better now than they did before I had them in, especially after a few days when they firm up a bit. I am so pleased I had mine removed, no more worry. It is a big and brave decision we really all do have to listen to ourselves, we know best for your bodies.

Hi, I didnt do anything before the operation but am sure using creams wont hurt. My surgeon said to start massaging with vitamin E cream after 3 weeks, so next week I'll start. I have been rubbing a little bio oil in after I shower to moisturise but not too vigorously. The one thing you will need post op is a good either surgical or sports bra to wear for 8 weeks, this helps the tissues reform underneath and lessens the risk of seroma / haematoma. The surgical / sports bras that are long enough to cover your scars and have feont openings are best. Marena do a good one you can buy online. I was 36d / dd i ordered a 36b and its perfect. I had a difficult job finding a bra and ordered loads but the longer, adjustable ones are definately better with implant removal. Hope this helps! Are you having it done under general anaesthetic?

thanks for your suggestions.
I will check online this bra you re talking about.I hope i will buy the right size...I also think about when i'll come back to work and how to avoid my collegues realize i don't have boobs anymore :(
At the moment they always tell me i've big boobs! omg..i don't know..i will put large pulls and shirts, but i think it won't be enough to hide the explant...Anyway the PS told me that the explant will be done under local, not general.He will use propofol and the explant will take 30 minutes at maximum..
Do you know this kind of anesthetic?
12 years ago, when i did BA, the other PS did it under general and when i woke up i was very bad (nausea ecc..)
Hope this time it will be better.

Hi there! Don't be scared, itl be the best thing you ever did! I was exactly same as you before breast augmentation and after. I have just had implant removal, no lift or anything and I'm still recovering but 100% best thing I ever did. I no longer have chronic neck ache and can take a deep breathe which I didn't even realise I couldn't do with my implants in! I had my implants under the muscle for 11 years. Had silicone in my lymph nodes which had to be removed. Im only two weeks in but feeling abit better each day! Please stay strong I was very scared too before but now I feel so happy I explanted!

you can always put those silicone "cutlets" in your bra...much safer than silicone in your body

I am an RN in this site because I too, am wanting explanation.
About the Propofol.....this is a great drug when administered by an anesthesiologist. You go to sleep quickly, wake up quickly and without that heavily drugged hangover effect! I am hoping that my surgeon will use it!
