47 Yr Old W/18 Yr Saline Implants Under the Muscle Wants Them out NOW! :) -

Hello Dear Ladies,
I am 47 years old with 18 year old saline under the muscle implants and have today started the process to get them out. Before BA I was a 34 barely A and now a 36 D. When I first got them they were supposed to be a C and they were for a short time then I gained weight. I just got my medical records from Arizona with Dr. Borsand at the Body Sculpting Center and found out the right was filled at 420cc and the left 460cc—and obviously the left was always bigger and more troublesome. They are too big, heavy and this past 2 years I have decided that I hate them and want them out as soon as possible. I don’t know why it took me so long to figure this out, but so grateful I realized now this is not for me anymore. For 2 years now I have been have a lot of back pain, numbness in the back, numbness and tingling in my left 3 fingers, tightness in my pectoral muscles (like the implants are getting harder and harder), depression, anxiety, joint pain, unexplained weight gain and extreme fatigue.
The body symptoms really scare me and I am so tired of being tired I just want my natural body and self back. I am not going to lie, I am scared of surgery again and maybe that is why I have been in such denial to get them out sooner. From what I remember the BA was so easy and painless for me (except that I did wake up durning even though it was a local and it freaked me out to the point of being traumatized over it —I am a wimp like that), which is shocker. I also had a hysterectomy 2 years ago, which I was also terrified to have and that was also a breeze believe it or not. No pain and no problem. Also, from reading here lot’s of ladies stories of the surgery, it seems to quite easy, painless and pretty breezy. So that is what I want because I believe we can most certainly create the reality we want. And now I want these scary toxic devices out of my body and re-claim my real self and gain my health back.
Today I went to my PCP because I have Medicaid to see if they will cover the ex-plant on my insurance if they can deem it’s medically necessary. I have done some research and it seems like sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t. I suppose it will happen as it’s supposed to. The only thing is I live in New Mexico now and Dr. Borsand is in Arizona. If my insurance does not cover it Dr. Borsand to remove is my possible plan B.
Also, the debate to remove or not to remove the capsule is there. I have saline and seem to think these symptoms are from the implant so I would like to have the capsule removed. From what I can tell the capsule may be thin because the implants are movable on the bottom but not the top. The muscles seems to be getting tighter and tighter. It seems as the only way to really tell is when the doctor goes in to remove them.
Tomorrow I will go for some chest, back and neck x-rays then full blood work and a physical. Then my doctor will send me to a breast specialist in Albuquerque then that doctor from there will get the ball rolling.
My doctor said they mostly require getting a mammogram to see if the implant is leaking. I had one 2 years ago and they said everything appeared fine but that was then. Could the implant leaked from the actually mammogram I had? I do not know. I am very reluctant I told my doctor to get another because they are 18 years old and don’t want them to bust while doing it! That would just freak me out to much. So I am hoping that is not necessary at all. I just want them out already!
Ok, thank you ladies for hearing my vent. It’s so nice to have this site and all of you share your stories and it really inspires me and gives me strength to go through with the surgery

Hello Ladies,

I found this link and it's a possibility to get funding if the insurance does not cover it, especially if you have silicone and health problems. http://www.breastimplantinfo.org/insurance-coverage-for-breast-implant-removal/

Hi Ladies,

Had all the medical tests done, ultra sound (did not want to have another mammogram for the fear of them busting), blood work, x-rays, test for autoimmune disease and physical. Thank GOD all test came back negative. This is good news and I feel relieved. Now I have covered all my bases to try and get my insurance to cover it and of course they will not because there is no evidence of health problems. SO now onto Plan B, I am going to try breastplantinfodotorg to see if I can qualify for the Explant Financial Assistance Program. Plan C will be to finance and most likely go back to Dr. Borsand in Scottsdale, AZ who put them in to now take them out. This photo is horrible but I am posting for documentation. I have gained so much weight and have cellulite and my intuition tells me it is these ridiculous 'clown boobs'. I am a vegan, exercise, do yoga and really take care of myself. Plus the fatigue and joint pain I am convinced it's these toxic bags. The next good news I am thinking if I have to finance then my wait should not be so long to take them out.
