I am now 5 weeks post op and plan on making an appt. with my surgeon and discussing with him that I'm seriously thinking of removing my implants. My results
look good but I guess I'm just too worried about my fibrocysistic breast tissue. I am
trying so hard to think positive but I'm having problems sleeping and my breasts feel so tight and odd. He told me they would not drop much because of my tight breast tissue and thats okay but will that cause me to have this discomfort forever?
Anyone out there with the same issues? Please reply. Mary 6151

Hi Mary--mine always felt tight until I downsized the implants. I'm now planning to just have them removed.
How long have you had them and do you have dense breast tissue? Do you have to go to a special breast surgeon to have them removed? Please advise. I wish you the best and keep in touch on your outcome. Perhaps I must give myself a few more months but I sure don't want to wait a year. mary6152
I had the first set for 10 years and this second set for 15 years. I had almost no breast tissue--I was a 32AA before the first surgery. I went to a board certified plastic surgeon to have them replaced and will be seeing one again in April about having the implants removed. The one I'm seeing next month has an excellent reputation for removal of breast implants so hopefully it will go well!
I wish you the best. Thank you for your reply. I will discuss how I feel with my surgeon at my 3 month follow-up. Keep in touch, would like to know how your surgery goes. God bless you. Mary6151
Best of luck, Mary!
If you feel this unhappy now, just remove them. That nagging feeling only gets worse. Hugs for you x x
thanks, for your reply. I am feeling better mentally and will wait 6 mos. and see how I feel. Thank you again, and God Bless you. mary6151

I question myself if I made the right decision since I am 60 yrs old. I have fibrocysistic breasts and have had some issues. I gave my surgeon all of my mammogram and ultrasound medical reports from the past 4 or 5 yrs. I have always had low self esteem about my small breasts due to remarks made to me.


I prayed and asked God to forgive me because I feel he may not be pleased with what I have done. So, will my breast augmentation change my life. NO, it will not. I'm in a relationship with a wonderful man who says he loves me for who I am and that he did not fall in love with my breasts but that he wants me to do what makes me happy. Of course men will be men, he does look at women with large breasts . I admire women who have natural breasts and don't desire to have breast augmentation. I hope to hear from ladies that can understand how I feel. I am 1 month post op and was told I would take a bit longer to heal because of my age. I know I must think positive but sometimes I feel so depressed. I did well one year ago with my lower face lift. Had a great surgeon with great surgical skills and I am pleased with the results. So what is wrong with me. Please advise.

It's nothing wrong with you. But I'm sure that you'll get used to it :) And don't be depressed, because you don't have why.
Thank you for your response. I greatly appreciate it. Mary 6151
I know how you feel. I am a soon to be 59 yr old. that has wanted a tummy tuck and lipo n finally had a consultation. Looking at June. My family r not thrilled. Why would u do that? God made u this way, why change? You're crazy to put yourself thru that pain? Can't understand that I hate the way I look, I would be much more confident with myself. There is nothing wrong with us wanting something for us. Last night was a make me feel guilty night. I did not sleep much, I guess my mind did not "turn off" n now I'm doubting myself. I can feel your pain. I am praying alot for guidance. You r not alone, a think there r a lot of us "older" women who want to look better. Good luck and speedy recovery.
We only live once, and you are right we have the right to do what makes us feel good. So go for it. Just make sure you did your homework on your surgeon of choice. Follow his or hers instructions and ask questions now and after your surgery. Take your meds. and let your body tell you how you are feeling. But remember to call the Doctor if you have a concern while healing. Remember he is working for you. I will keep you in my prayers and keep in touch. Thank you again for your reply. Mary 6151
