They are out! Explant After 26 Years, 56 Yrs old. Silicone Under Muscle 325 Cc - San Diego, CA

Like many others I stumbled onto this site and became fascinated with the explant reviews. After reading many, many explant reviews I think I am ready to start my journey now. I am ready to explant and am looking for a PS in the San Diego area. I think I will get consults from two or three first. Here is my back story: I was always very thin growing up and was probably the flattest girl in my high school and was always self conscious about having no boobs. The neighborhood boys called me 'board' as a joke. That was back when it was very popular for girls to go braless. We didn't have all the padded bra options that everyone is wearing today so I really didn't have any options for 'hiding' my flat chest. Anyways, I dreamed about having BA all through my 20's and finally had the job done when I was 30. I didn't want huge boobs, I just wanted to have some boobs. I had the surgery done and over time developed CC. I didn't have pain, just hard, unnatural looking breasts. I went from buying clothes to hide my flat chest to buying clothes to hide my fake looking boobs. After about 15 years I went back to my PS for a revision as my boobs were very asymetric and fake looking. I told him that I was never comfortable with the breasts and could he replace them with smaller implants. I had the revision surgery which included capsulectomies for the CC and replacement of the implants. The PS actually put in larger implants but I was ok with it since they did look much more natural and were softer. So I was happy with them for about a year, then I developed CC in the left breast. I had a capsulectomy on that breast and after a few months developed CC in the right breast and had a capsulectomy on that breast. Then the CC came back on the right breast. At this point I was regretting that I had every gotten the implants in the first place and was done with revision surgeries. I have been living with CC in my right breast for about 10 years now and after reading all the explant reviews on this site I have finally decided to get rid of these fake boobs! Since I started with very little breast tissue and have had a couple of capsulectomies I may not have any breast tissue left. I have a feeling I will have some of the creasing that some women with small breasts have reported, but I will have to just wait and see. I may end up with deformed, misshappen pancake breasts. If that is the case, then so be it. My husband is cautiously supporting me on this. Lucky for me he isn't a breast man! He just doesn't want me to have surgery if it isn't necessary. One thing I have going for me is that I weigh 15 pounds more than when I got the original BA.

Here are some pics of my asymmetric boobs. Had my first consult with a PS on Wednesday and will have another today. My third consult is the first week in January then I'll make the decision as to which PS to use. I'm really looking forward to getting this over with. Terrified of a bad result, but prepping myself mentally for the possibility.

I think I have decided on a PS and I was ready to call and book my surgery today but I just couldn't dial the number! I am scared of committing to this because 1. I am scared of surgery in general, and 2. I'm scared of what my little girls will look like afterwards! I know that explant is the best option for me. It is only a matter of time before I'll be forced to deal with it because of a rupture and I think the sooner I deal with it the better my outcome will be. So, deep breaths... Deep breaths.... Ok, I'm calling tomorrow for sure!
