WORTH IT$3,000
Hello everyone, I am 35 years old from Italy, had my implant (300 cc Mentor silicone anatomical shape over the muscle) in 2002, after the birth of my first son. In 2007 I had my second son and couldn't feed him (I've fed the first for one year with no problems).
I didn't have any health issue from BA, but since four years from now I have started to miss my little breast, and feel this implants are heavy when I am braless and I don't like them anymore. The problem here in Italy is that the doctors are not used to simple explant. I went for a consultation and one Doc told me I would look scary without implants, and that I have to have a lift and a smaller implant inside. I was really sad and started to try to accept that I had to keep implants forever. Every night when I went to bed I looked at this plastic balls on my chest, and felt sad.
Then I found this site, it was my biggest luck, because here there are so many reviews of people who explanted and ended with perfect acceptable natural soft little breast.
So I looked for another surgeon, and found one who said that he agrees with an explant, because it is easy that in six months or so my breast will regain a nice shape. The only thing thak makes me worry is the fact that I have subglandular implants, and have read that the breast end up more ruined (I am sure to explant, anyway, everything will be better for me than keeping this heavy fake breast).
I am looking for words from people who underwent eplant starting with my same implant placement. Thank you so much.

Last consultation pre-explant
Hi there,
yesterday I went to see the doctor who will perform the explant (that is not the same who did my BA). He took pictures and explained to me that, since there is no rupture, he doesn't need to perform a capsulectomy, so everything can be done in local with sedation, I am brave enough (will I be?). He said that he will reopen the old scars (under the crease), take the protesis out, and then do some little abrasions on the capsules to make them close afterwards (brrrr), put some stitches inside to help my gladular tissue to go back in the old position, and close. He also said that he will put drains, to keep for some days, and then I will have to wear a special bra for some weeks. The price must be around 1000 euros. About the results, he said that since this protesis are heavy for my frame (not 300 cc, but 375), my breasts will be relieved from taking them out, and, with some time and patience, should regain a nice natural shape. I am really relieved too. For now I have to do an ultrasound and, one week before procedure, some blood tests. We agreed to keep in touch to choose a date in september.
I am only a little concerned for the local anesthetics: will it be completely, absolutely painless?

Hello! I think I've read that it's easier when your implants are under the muscle! Supposedly you will have better tissue in the breast itself to heal better. Mine were supposed to be under but when the surgeon went in he said they were not!!!! I love the way they look now and can't wait to buy new bras in a couple of months!! Forza e coraggio che tutto va bene!!!!

surgery booked
So now I have a date: 16 september, afternoon. I agreed with the surgeon to do it under local with sedation. I'm happy to know it will happen soon, but at the same time all the fears are starting to appear on the surface. Will it be painful or somewhat scary? Is it really possible that my breast will look nice after eleven years with these heavy things in it?
