Thanks so much, avidrunnergirl!! :)
I'm very much so enjoying my new-found freedom from my big, unattractive, heavy unplants! Can't believe I put up with them that long (13yrs)... just so glad to be rid of them; au naturel, lighter, more comfortable, clothes fit better, I feel MORE confident, etc...the list goes on!
Went to the beach for the first time since my removal and I felt GREAT... not disgusting, ashamed and embarrassed by my gross implants.
Feels really awesome!! ;-)

mygirlpenny -- thanks, love!
I'm extremely pleased with my outcome and couldn't be happier. Still SOOO glad I finally had them removed - no regrets whatsoever. In fact, I can't believe I had them put in in the first place - like, what was I thinking?!
Plus, I had them for 13 years -- way too long, especially since I've officially been sick of them for the last 4-5 yrs. I'm just thrilled my post-explant breasts returned to normal as before.. maybe better! No matter what, I'm happy as can be with them just being gone!
My removal was a piece of cake...literally, so easy...and I only had local anesthesia!
Such an easy, unfrightening, uneventful experience. Plus, it was (only) $1,000 total, out the door.
I see you're having your removal tomorrow. Yay for you, girl!
And gosh, all your pics are really nice looking... what a beautiful girl you are, with or without implants!
You're gonna do great, and look fabulous, too!
I feel sooo good without them...like, I immediately felt better, lighter, sexier!...more energy etc etc. I had the most minimal, to NO pain at all after I came home and recouped a few days or so, per doctors orders.
NO pain. Best thing I've done for myself in a very, very long time.
I was in your pre-op position myself just 3 weeks ago, not knowing what to expect but trying to read up on everyone's stories.. There is nothing but good from what you're doing... so, good luck tomorrow, love ... relax, no worries... it's gonna be a piece of cake! ♡ xoxo

Thank You! And, congrats and yay for you on your own upcoming explant! :)
I still feel sooo happy they're out and gone forever. I'm very pleased with my outcome; no problems, swelling, disfigurement lol... and looking back at pre-implant photos, I wonder what the heck I was thinking to get implants in the 1st place.
But now, since I experienced having implants for so long and despised them the last 4-5 hrs -- I am TRULY appreciating my natural self once again. You will, too, as do all the other ladies on this site!
Good luck with your upcoming removal on Monday .. you'll do just great! :) xoxo

You look wonderful! I know how liberating it is to have those puppies removed. Looking forward to your progress!
November 22, 2020
Wow! You look great. I’ve had my replacements for 10 years. (First round 25 years ago) I want them out! But I’ve been advised by two docs not to because I am 60 and they “will look terrible”. Like you, I don’t know what I was thinking! Congratulations! So happy for you!

Some before, during & after pics!
Found some old photos, plus of course, added some recent ones. Hopefully they upload alright. For some reason, a few of them loaded upside down and/or sideways.
The pic of me in the pink bikini top was 2 years prior to implants. I don't know what the heck I was thinking cuz I think I looked pretty good beforehand and way more in shape/athletic than after getting those darn implants. Looking back, I certainly didn't need them.
I went thru a tumultuous, nasty divorce and child custody battle less than a year after pink bikini pic and got my implants almost a year after divorce was finalized. I must've been out of my mind and mentally/emotionally exhausted, and somehow thinking implants would make me feel better about myself because I was so beat down in every way.
I initiated the divorce so it's not like he had left me for another woman and I felt betrayed... He just put me and my 2 small sons thru pure hell during that time and MANY years afterwards... anyways.. sigh. Just soooo glad to have them gone out of my body forever!! :)
Lol, got carried away.. just wanted to upload some pics. :)

Thank you! :D
Although I probably gained maybe 10 lbs since I had implants done 13 yrs ago, I think my breasts look pretty much the same before my surgery.. just a pinch of fluffing wouldn't hurt but I LOVE the real me. I guess it took me having those darn implants to realize just how much I appreciate my real size and self.
For me, removal under local was the easiest, most un-scary thing!
I think people tend to over think and worry too much, which is normal - but it was honestly soo easy and uneventful!
Good luck on your consult and get ready to be implant free very soon. It's really awesome. Literally, less than a week ago I was still scouring other ladies posts wondering just how good they felt and now I know what they all mean!!
Cheers... and keep us posted! ;D

Thank you for your reply! I'm excited about my next consult as it is someone who has done a lot of expants and has been reviewed here
April 27, 2016
Awesome.. good for you, girl! :) Where do you live, or what location are you searching for removal..?
Just curious, that's all..
Initially, when I started my search, then found this awesome site, I was amazed at just how many women besides myself were seeking implant removal, or commenting they already had it done. So it really does span across the world as I've seen so many other ladies comments!
Again, good luck with your next consult - that is so exciting!
I think you mentioned wanting to have them removed under local.. if your next consult goes great, you'll soon be on your way. It's really sooo easy, pain free, etc. I say, if you're up for it, then by all means, go for it... it's one of the easiest and best things I've done! Feel free to ask any questions if you have any.
I'm 5-6 days out and feel 120% ... plus, I instantly looked wayyy slimmer, too!
I actually took my in-tact and filled implants home with me in a bag and dang, they're kinda heavy - doc said combined they're like 2-3lbs. Amazing to think I had them sitting inside my chest weighing me down for 13 yrs! Never again :)
Have a great evening.. wherever you're at! :D

Thank you for your response! I'm so happy to hear that the local was relatively easy!!! I can't wait to have them removed!!!! Xoxo
April 27, 2016
Looking great! I went under local too & don't regret it at all. It was a breeze! I started working out a week after. Feeling great!
April 27, 2016
Thank you! And yep, having them removed under local was just the easiest thing ever! Not sure if you had drains but I did, and that's the ONLY so-called discomfort throughout this whole process.
Even with cleverly tucking in and hiding the drains, been back at it and active with everything - things around the house, exercising, etc.
Like you, I feel so good without those darn heavy things in the way. Feels awesome!
Cheers! :)

I sure appreciate you posting your results. I had my dreadful cumbersome and huge implants removed 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner. They were way too big (and I had cute little pert but tiny breasts), I did it for the wrong reasons. They got very hard and painful, and I had one rupture, and I lived with one big hard breast and one saggy one for almost 2 years prior.
For me it was financial. But then I got breast cancer, so I needed them removed anyway, and then a second surgery. I'm so glad to get rid of those things (I'm 53 now). The cancer struck one breast, and I had a partial mastectomy. The other breast is flopping down somewhere near my navel.
So I just spoke to my surgeon yesterday about having the other breast reduced and lifted. I'll be getting that done (to even things up a little bit). Since the removals, that one breast hurts so much because it's flopping around (the other one is tight and small from surgery and radiation, so it's quite comfortable). And I can't wear a bra, so yeah, there's that.
Doesn't it feel wonderful having these things gone? I'm also so happy to have those basketballs removed. They weighed me down and as I got older, they just made me look fatter too. I wanted to share just to let you know I can appreciate your decision and also how wonderful it feels to be free of them. I had mine removed the day before they removed the cancer, etc., and you're right. There was absolutely no pain having them removed. I felt nothing. Didn't even need a Tylenol and his incisions were in the same place (but smaller) than those incisions the other surgeon used who put the implants in.
Free at last! :)

Thank you for your comment.
Wow, you've really endured a lot between your breast cancer, removing your implants, and now another impending surgery to correct and tidy things up!
Quite the trooper you are! Hope you're doing okay and in the free and clear from your cancer.
I empathize with you - I had vulva cancer 11 yrs ago myself (sorta rare) My cancer had metastasized to the lymph nodes in my right groin where it became an almond/walnut sized lump.
Initially not knowing source of where the cancer was coming from, I underwent surgery for a total lymph node dissection to get rid of that. While I was in surgery for that is when they biopsied tissue from my private area and sent to pathology.
Turned out that vulva cancer was the originating source of cancer that over time, spread to lymph nodes in groin. Three wks. after lymph node dissection, I underwent another surgery,(radical vulvectomy) I was 37 yrs old when I had cancer 11yrs ago.
Anyways.. sigh... I completely empathize with your own cancer journey. :)
I think we're pretty darned strong ladies, don't ya think?! :)
Even though I'm only 6 days post-removal, I feel so happy, good, light and free! I brought home my still-filled, intact implants in a bag and gosh, it's sorta heavy! Doc said together they weigh about 2-3lbs. No wonder I felt so heavy, fat and yucky all those years!
Good riddance, right!?
I love this site ... Thank you for sharing your own personal story with me. It's so intriguing how different we all are, but Oh so alike across the board.. miles, oceans, etc. - ha!
Have a Fantastic Day! :D

Aww both of you lovely ladies!... Had to share this link to an incredible lot of info about natural means to aid in combatting and curing cancer!... Xxxx https://go2.thetruthaboutcancer.com/agq/episode-3/

It was well worth it for me! ;) I'm sure I was right on the edge of getting it with last years scare, chronic inflammation often is a catalyst since it wears down immune system... Anyway, hope between education about detoxing n distressing n herbs n oils etc you'll find a gem, sharing coz caring! Xxxxxx love to you both strong beautiful ladies! [RS bleep]

I'm still pleased with my results and so happy I (finally!) opted to have them removed.
I happen to love my "new-old" size and think they're absolutely enough for me.. gosh, how I put up with those big, disgusting, unattractive balloons for so long is beyond me. Just grateful to have them GONE and be au naturel once again!! Yay for us! ;-)
