Want to Be Natural Again. Seattle, WA
ORIGINAL POST
I've had silicon breast implants 350 cc over...
WORTH IT$12,500
I've had silicon breast implants 350 cc over muscle for 8 years and have had a capsular contraction since. it's felt like there is a bag in my boob, an unnatural feel. I have not been able to wear a push up bra because I have distorted cleavage. My original surgeons answer to my tuberous breasts was" big implants." He told me I would come back saying they weren't big enough if I didn't go big to begin with. That's what I get for chosing a MD who only was practicing 6 years. I'm hoping I made the right decision here. I was charmed and impressed by Dr. Lisa's website, her before and after work and that she seems to specialize in breasts and her answer to everything isn't a perpetual answer"Put implants in" She seems to work on shaping and lifting appropriately. I will definitely post my experience pictures here for anyone considering going to her.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us all. I'm in my 40's - I had implants at 26 - weight training made them move, so I replaced them approx 6 yrs later above the muscle...I had to have them replaced again because the Doc put HUGE ones in my small frame (110 pnds 550 cc implants) I never wanted big implants always just natural - long story short, I have nerve pain from an injury but always wonder if I'd feel better if they were gone but really want small, nice breasts - your look gorgeous and give me major hope :)

Oh my boobies!
I'm amazed and touched in my heart to know that I got the results I was looking for. I found the match plastic surgeon for me and I couldn't be happier. I considered dr. roger khouri of miami for a ATF and removal but thankfully, I read reviews on here that assigned him as a "butcher." Phew....dodged that bullet. I was told by itzhak Nir of palm beach that my implants could not be taken out, which made me cry. I was told by Delange of palm beach I needed bigger implants and a peri areola lift and that he would not take my implants out for good, Deluca of Palm beach told me he'd remove my capsules and put my implants back in if they were intact???? Dr. Pozner of Boca Raton wanted to give me implants under my muscle(eh, no thanks) and put some strattice in the mix(eh, no thanks).My original surgeon; scott greenberg of winterpark would give me a discount to let him do a capsulectomy with new implants for a discounted price of 3500. Oh and lets not forget the handful of male surgeons I met out and about that said to me....there's just no fixing that....leave it alone!! I just wanted my areolas rasied from the low position they were in and an even proportion of areola to breast tissue mound. This is making me angry reliving all this aggravation so with that all said; I am pleased to say I found Dr. Lisa Sowder of Seattle who understood exactly what I meant!! :') Maybe I need therapy because I am shaking writing this.....It feels like a triumph to me. I feel like I won a battle.....and I just want to share with the population who read this because I read others stories on here and it inspired me that perhaps I could have a happy ending.

Thank you for sharing your story, im wanting to have my 12 almost 13 yrs old implants out and your story definitely inspired me! I love your results and I have been searching for a great PS in Seattle. I definitely think im going to give Dr Sowder's office a call and set up a appt for a consultation :)
January 8, 2015
That makes me tear because I know how hard it is to find a good surgeon!! I'm so glad you found her! She was my answer to an 8 year ordeal. p.s. have a look at her website; the way it's written , the pictures of before and after, etc. She really cares and knows what the boob she's doing!
January 8, 2015
I read her whole web page lol she definitely seems so amazing! I hope to have the same wonderful results as you! I don't want a lift though. My body has been through enough, so im going to try doing it all natural with weights and some collagen supplements. Just getting these things out of me will be a huge relief! Once I get a consultation I will be so much more at ease! :)
January 8, 2015
Oh well wonderful, less pain and less recovery time and then you could always decide later on a lift. I really believe in this dr. I feel she's an advocate for women in a world full of men surgeons who just don't get it! I hope it works out for you too!
January 8, 2015
Thank you! I know exactly what you mean by men surgeons that don't get it! I was blessed to have a woman Dr do my BA but im originally from out of state so its to far for me to go back for removal. Good luck on the rest of your recovery! And thank you again for pointing me in the right direction :)
January 25, 2015
You look great, I hope I get such a positive result in the near future, mine are under breast muscle. I am on a good way to get them out and I am thankful for the brave women here on these side who give their "sisters" hope. Wish me luck for my surgery! Excuse my bad english.
January 25, 2015
Aw, what bad english? I understood what you wrote. I take it you're german? I met a german plastic surgeon before at a strip club(he was looking for inspiration)and he told me you can implant a muscle type breast implant in Germany that will become your own after years. He said it would cost 20000$. I wonder if you're surgeon is in Germany. The german people seem very on top and good at most things. I tried to see where you lived but I couldn't see. Anyway, thanks for the positive comment and i wish you well on whatever you're getting done. I love my breasts now, which was something I could never really say in the past. I hope the same for you.
January 29, 2015
Im in your same boat you were in and starting consults to get mine out. I don't know why so many male doctors shove huge implants into small frames, they really have a distorted mindset on what a women's body should look like. You look amazing, what size were you pre implants?
January 29, 2015
32 areola! LOL. My before picture is posted. Not only so many male drs put them in but I found so many will not remove them upon your request!
January 29, 2015
& thank you! you shud go to my dr. if you can afford, shes worth every thousand.
January 29, 2015
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for pointing me in the right direction! Dr. Sowder is so amazing! I can see why you chose her as your Dr! I will also have the pleasure of her removing my implants next week on Feb 4!!!! I can't wait! Without you I truly would not of had such a wonderful experience! Thank you again!!! :)
January 29, 2015
oh [RS bleep]! guess what youre gonna be so happy.....as long as you communicated wat you want....i was happy with results quicker than the average girl ive read. I know quality & shes legit! im so happy for you & me & her!

WOW.... You look great : )
I'm explanting 1/13
January 6, 2015
thank you, i feel like exploding after writing my experience! I wish you the same results I got. :)
January 6, 2015
Thank you so much : )
I am explanting first and will decide on a lift in a few months... I'm not going to lie I am NERVOUS : / not about pain but about how they will look......
January 6, 2015
I had the same fear but tried to focus on my plastic surgeons results on her site to inspire faith. I had faith in her based of her work. In your case, you should be less nervous because maybe you have a chance to not have to have a lift. :) It happens and then you don't have to deal with a more invasive procedure. I think you'll be happier with explanting in any event. Take a look at my surgeons website at her work. She does a really good job. :)
January 6, 2015
You look fantastic, and have a nice natural shape to your breasts now. I know you are over the moon!!!! I hope I have nice results like you.
January 7, 2015
aw, thanks a lot. I wanted to inspire women to feel good about taking their implants out. They don't work for the long term! I feel like the men are really the ones who put it in our heads that we want implants....it's not really what women want! So I related to you reading your first experience with the implants. You sound well versed in what to expect in regards to your breast reduction/implant removal, getting your after bra/ bras, such a good idea....I did not do that and still only have 1 bra which is annoying. I have a feeling you will have great results. :) I didn't overstretch arms, or lifts my arms above my head and I moved really slowly to protect my incisions at fist. So i suggest that.
January 7, 2015
I'm certainly hoping and praying for good results. I'm sometimes feel like I'm pushing it as this will be my third breast surgery and God willing my last. I'll be sure to not over stretch and let my incision heal, thanks:) I have my 3 bras and I'm currently taking my 1000mg of Vit C and 25,000IU of VitA, I'll ass the bromelian and arnica s/p surgery. Your nipple placement is EXCELLENT, I'm hoping for great symmetry like you. I can relate to your breasts because you have the same type of scaring I already and will have but you look amazing.
January 7, 2015
Honeyds... You look amazing! x
January 8, 2015
thanks so much :) The pain/stinging lasted around 12 hours and the pain pills helped then I was taking tylenol from then to the next 2 or 3 days because my sinuses were killing me in Seattle!! I feel great, just trying to take it easy. Its hard because I feel normal but I just have to remind myself....still healing!
January 8, 2015
You look stunning! I hope my results are as good as yours. Thanks for sharing your experience.
January 25, 2015
I had my implants out a week ago The best thing I've ever done. My original surgeon did it he did a wonderful job with explantation and a lift he is the best. I had the capsular contraction I had in one breast, wow thank you for posting the pictures. I haven't seen what mine looked like. It was a horrible big knot. I had it reoperated on once but it just came back. So I figure I'm in the hole about $16,000 and three surgeries later I finally have really nice 38 B cups. It's good that you fought for what you really wanted and I think you look fantastic!
January 25, 2015
Thank you for your support. Yeah, we really went through something very similar. My dr. was shocked at how many calcium deposits was in the one capsule. She said" you're body really didn't like your implants" So I, like you, feel such a relief to get those bags out of my body. Everyone else seemed to like my implants....but me. We're the ones who feel what it feels like to have them in. I try to tell all women I know not to get them and how mans creation is nothing like what biology provided to us already! Ain't nothing like the real thing, babe! I'm so happy and empowered that I prevailed and it made it easier to know I was not the only one who felt this way. Infact, I had a dream last night about me in a see through shirt with my perky boobs and I still was sexy even with the little boobies. :) If you look at my picture from where I started and where I ended, it really is a fantastic outcome. so happy!
Wednesday! How exciting. What are you most looking forward to about having your implants removed?
