I have had under muscle saline breast implants...

I have had under muscle saline breast implants since I was 20 (7 years). I believe they are 350cc. I was a 36 small B before the procedure, and a 36 D afterwards. I really do not want to have to undergo a lift, nor do I want smaller replacements of the implants. My doctor recommended waiting 6 months for them to heal/skin to shrink on their own, and then decide if I want a lift. So, the surgery is in about 3 weeks and I am really nervous. So many women's stories on here were so helpful to me. I am so hoping that I will not need a lift because I just regret the whole thing already and do not want to undergo more and more surgeries. Does anyone want to share their experience with removal without a lift with me?
Anyways, I am so excited to be free. I feel like I have been walking around in someone else's body with big annoying things on my chest weighing me down. I used to love them when I was very young and far more insecure, but the implants began to ripple, sag a lot, my nipples got huge for some reason, and I'm just tired of having no chest strength, I feel like I cannot take my health and fitness to the next level. I remember being made fun of a lot for not having breasts growing up, and I am just so angry I let that resonate with me, like it was something I needed to fix about myself. What it has really turned out to be is an expensive mistake and now I just pray my poor little breasts will snap back. I do not have the money for this but I have heard that it is better To do it younger due to skin elasticity, so I am just getting in out of the way ASAP. I will post pictures day of and soon after the procedure, and keep you updated regarding the skin shrinking issue. Any advice would be so very appreciated, I am extremely nervous because the day I got my implants was the most horribly painful day of my life! How does explant pain compare?

For some reason the thought of one extra week is KILLING me. I am becoming accustomed to thinking of myself without implants, and now they just seem so foreign, bulky, and in my way. I cannot wait. Two more weeks!

Sounds good to me! Did you find that your implants are sagging as much as mine? Are you doing a lift? I totally know what you mean about feeling the implants in the shower :/

My breasts look pretty similar to yours, I'm just heavier through the upper chest. I'm not getting a lift because I plan on having another baby and because I don't want any more risk of decreased sensation.
I've had a fair amount of sensation loss but I'm hoping the nerve is just stretched and will go back to normal once the implants are out. My boobs weren't technically saggy pre-BA but they were a C cup and had some "hang" to them so I'm expecting that again, especially having had a baby since I got them.

I had my implants removed on Monday 28th November with no lift and so far so good. Wish I'd never had them done in the first place big regret in my life.

I just had my saline implants taken out on Nov 30. I had a local and it was not painful. Recovery is going well. The worst part is the itchy stitch s. There is ver minimal pain. My boobs are shriveled and tiny but it's been less than a week. I've been hiding in big sweaters and scarves and no one has even noticed I've taken them out... it has been an emotional Roller coaster because I feel sad about my saggy skin but I know in time it will get better and better. I am glad they are out. I just want to focus on fitness and health. I felt I hid behind those big ole boobs for way to long. Time to let my real self shine. Best of luck with your upcoming surgery. You are doing the right thing.

That's great you decided to do this as well, don't worry about the skin for now, it's just so brand new. Your body heals itself so in the meantime love your body and it will heal in amazing ways. Thank you very much for your kind worlds, I needed to here that right now.

Going to be up bright and early for this. I have not sat still all day, and I doubt I'll sleep much. I'm depending most on the kind words from people on this site. As soon as I get pictures of them when the wraps are off, i will post.

Breast Implant Removal Tips (Pre-op, Surgery Day, and Post-op)
Don't freak out right after - it takes patience, many months to see final results.
Everyone says if you don't have capsules removed there is very little to no pain and a quick recovery. Most women who don't have capsular contracture or auto immune issues opt for simple removal under local anesthesia.
Best wishes!! You will do just fine XOXO
