Hello everyone! Finally I took the strength and push to write here my story.
I thank a lot to all the brave girls that share their story in this page, cause when I was on the other "fake and hard" side they were of lot of help. I believe the society fills you with lot of information and images about BA, like this is what any woman should dream to become, but they hide very carefully the other side, what about all the consequences of this procedure? what if you dont feel well with the implants? what if you develop any health problem afterwards related to them? what if THEY ARE NO FOR YOU? Cause, as I see it now, implants are for NOBODY. May be in cases of reconstruction and other special situations I dont know, but society try to make us believe they are a necessity.
'You wont have a full life if you dont have this big and SO perfect breast!' (SO with capital letters cause they seem so perfectly round cause of course they are no real!) But, come on! The real truth that nobody is telling you is that YOU ARE ALREADY PERFECT AND YOU DONT NEED ANYTHING FAKE TO HAVE A FULL LIFE AND TO BE HAPPY.
I am 22 years old. Underwent to a BA in november 2015. 375cc extra high profile. My breast before BA was a 32B, 85B in Spain. So, after surgey I became 32D. I must say I am a very thin girl, so after surgery, I seemed a [RS bleep] star with two big rounded balls. For long time I had had low self steem, also few boys I was with told me about my small size, this and other things didnt help me to feel better. So I thought BA was right for me cause I would feel better with my body. (Yeah, I thought changing outside was the solution, when the solution is change the INSIDE). I even had some arguments with my family because of this before surgery, as they were against me undergoing to the surgery but I didnt realize they were right, cause I firmly believed I NEEDED BA. It wasnt I wanted to have the surgery done, no, I thought it was something necessary for me.
My BA surgeon was a cold person. I knew it when I booked my surgery, but I chose him for the results I had seen of his other BAs. He didnt take into consideration a lot my frame and offered me such big side. I remember that when I looked at the mirror with my fake new boobs I started to perceive as if my bottom was even smaller because of the contrast with my new VERY BIG boobs. I tried on some dresses and as I have small hips, well, again I had a strange contrast. The thing is what I once imagined it was my goal and what I needed, it wasnt. I spent more than two years waiting for that moment, I always thought my 'real' and 'good' life would begin just after undergoing to a BA. So, the falling when you realize it is no this way, is big. Everything you thought it would be is no like that.
When you think about undergoing to BA I believe you appreciate just the stetic part (of course, you cannot feel what is to have something strange inside), and I was blind, not giving the truly importance to the possible bad things consequence of BA, just focusing on the 'amazing' result I could get.
The first night was terrible. I felt like if my breast was going to explode and like if I was bleeding behind the bandages. Thanks God I wasnt but the feeling was horrible. Nights were not same anymore. You always slept like you were wearing an armor or a helmet on your breast. The feeling of relief when you take off a bra dissapeared as you COULDNT take off the internal bra you were wearing. My skin started to break on breast part as a consequence of the big shape of the balls. And since december more or less I felt cold. Lot of cold on my breast, colder than the rest of my body. I remember I told about this cold feeling when I visited the nurse of my clinic were I went for my BA, and her answer was 'well, sometimes my bottom is cold, next time touch your bottom'. Very professional.
Its true sometimes it wasnt that bad, I tried on some clothes and I laughted with my family about my 'sexy' body with some shirts. But to be honest, even now, I couldnt really say or express what was my exact feeling since I had BA done. Neither good nor bad, some times I just didnt feel at all.
Nowadays I think its like since BA day some part of me was dead. Cause I am not same. But I reckon maybe all this journey was necessary to change, to be better and to appreciate everything from a different perspective.
I have to say my original surgeon, was the most coldest person when I talked about removing my implants. He wasnt willing to do it, like it would be an offence to his work. I went out of the clinic terribly annoyed, dissapointed and feeling like a piece of meat in a market because of the treatment I received.
I was lucky my mom found a very human doctor. He has been amazing and comprehensive since the very first moment. The surgery was by the end of january, 9 weeks after my BA, and it went well, much better than expected as I didnt have any pain at all. I had to wear drains but I didnt really feel them until the moment he took them out, ough.
I remember I enter the surgery room trembling. Part of me was still afraid of the look afterwards although I have tried to convince myself I would accept any result. When I woke up, I felt the most peaceful feeling I have ever felt with my body. I felt relieved, in peace, my body has been released of a huge weight. It is funny how you normally dont appreciate the feeling of being complete, but in that moment I felt it, and it was really great.
I couldnt see myself till the fourth day when doctor took of the bandages. I was scared that day thinking what would I see and if I would recognize myself, and I couldnt see myself when I was with the doctor cause he didnt have mirror in the room. My mum said I was looking same as before, but I had to see myself, so when we went out we went directly to the toilet and there I had a look. It was amazing that when I looked at the mirror I saw myself again!!!! Its true they were looking a bit sad and different somehow but come on! It was me!!!!!!
I started to take care of my breast following my doctor recommendations. I dont remember clearly when I started to put roship oil on my breast but doctor told me it was good for the skin. I didnt put any cream on the scars till one week or more I believe, but then I used to put some steril stripes and once per day for massaging with roship oil and after two months I began to use Mepiform on my scars, and nowadays I continue massaging the breast tissue with some creams to prevent stripes too.
I did a shock therapy and decided to go everywhere for some time without any bra on. I am learning to appreciate my own beauty and I believe all of us are beautiful the way we are naturally.
I must say nowadays, three months and bit more after the implant removal they look very nice, just like before :) I cannot still put my breast together in a push up bra exactly in the same way as before, but they look pretty well in this kind of bras anyway, I still use the same bras as before BA :)
All in all, now look at myself in the mirror with love. I realized I had a completely balanced figure before and now, small bottom, small breast, so what? They are all perfectly nice as it is me :)
Society is cruel. They will try to destroy you more than to help you. That way its easier to take advantage of the weakness of people to get something from them. Selfishness is everywhere and is easier to critize than to say a nice word. But we should be stronger than them. Whatever people say, you must be aware you are already perfect, and you dont need anything but your self love to feel beautiful. Look at yourself at the mirror and be proud of who you are. Mistakes allow us to grow when we realize of them, and beauty depends more on they way you look at things than the way things really are, so dont let this jouney push you down, and if you are in the middle of this path, afraid of what comes after implant removal, dont doubt, for me it has been worth it.

Thank you, you are beautiful inside AND out! I'll be getting mine out in two weeks, I'll be 5months post op then. I'm also in my early 20s so I hope my breasts will bounce back like yours. How long did you have any kind of pain? When did you start wearing underwire bras? I'd love to see how your scars look like, I'm a bit worried about those. My original BA scars are still a bit red, even tho I know they will fade overtime. Do you have normal sensation in your breasts now?
June 1, 2016
You are very nice! Thanks a lot! Five months is few time so for sure you will recover perfectly!!! :D
With removal, thank to the painkillers I dont remember to feel any pain at all, I just had a feeling of peace inside my body :) It was maybe more the awkawrd of depending on drains to move and that you have to be careful not to put up your arms, (although your feeling is you can already do it, for the well recovery of muscle is better not to put your arms up at the beginning), but normally I didnt even feel the drains and I didnt have pain :)
About underwire bras I think I was not allowed for the first month, but I didnt use them till maybe one and half or two and just from time to time, cause although at the beginning the feeling about my breast was that they were sooo soft, they could not stand in the position that the bra was supposed to put them, but now, after the second, second and half month I started to feel firmer the breast, and now they stand really well on underwire bras and push up bras as well :)
I will update the review with pics of the scars today or tomorrow, when I can manage to find some time to write here in a relaxed way, cause I have been too busy these days, and I would like to explain also a bit of my visit to doctor last week and about my scars, but I hope today or tomorrow :)
Nowadays my breast feels like before :) firm at touch, and I can put together again both breast :) For some time I have had some contractions in breast muscles, but I believe it was because it was all still very soon and fresh, now the feeling about muscles is very normal :)
I wish you all the best for your surgery!!!!

Thank you so much for the helpful response! Luckily I have my implants over the muscle, so I believe there shouldn't be much pain or problems using the muscle. Also here where I get my surgery drains are rarely used, and I've never heard they'd be used after explant so I don't think I will have drains either! An update would be lovely, my "biggest" concern is the incisions healing properly and the scarring afterwards. So any tips for aftercare are welcome! Thank you so much sweetie [RS bleep]
June 2, 2016
Thats good! Then you have good advantage to recover :) but in general is a fast and easy recovery. I have just updated some pics of my scars, and I explain a bit of how I have treated them :)

Welcome to the community, and thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. Congratulations! You look amazing! Did you need pain meds at all?
May 23, 2016
Thank you for the welcoming and for the words :) Yes, after removal I took for eight days Paracetamol, nolotil and amoxicilina I believe, altough pain this time was very few. For me pain in implant removal was a walk between the clouds in comparison to what I suffered with BA :)
May 24, 2016
I'm glad you found it easier than your original surgery. Please update us again as you continue to recover :)
May 23, 2016
You look so good. They look much better with out implains. I am also 22years old and I've had mine in for 4weeks and hate them so much. Want them out ASAP I cry everyday I can't believe I did this to my self. I'm so scared of having surgery but if mine turn out like yours after surgery I will be super happy.
May 23, 2016
Thank you so much for your words :) I understand what you say. Let me tell you you should not punish yourself crying and regretting. See this as an opportunity to be better and more kind with yourself. You have just open your eyes to the real world, not the world they try us to believe is the best when is not, and that is an advantage to face the rest of your life from now on with strenght. Unfortunately, sometimes we just realize of bad decisions after doing them, but the good thing is BA can be undone :) Scars can be the only mark of all this journey but they fade with time ;) Sure your results will be really nice and you will feel yourself again :)
May 23, 2016
If you really want them out, my advice is the sooner the better. My doctor explained me the breast tissue is not affected until 3-6months, although you can still have good results afterwards but the sooner you can do it is always better. You just have them for four weeks so is very few time :) Best wishes and anything you need to ask I will be here :D
May 24, 2016
Thankyou so much for your reply. I just feel so stupid for what I've put my body though. I've got my holiday comming up in August and I'm so scared something will go wrong before and I can't take my son on holiday all those little things are always going though my mind and I'm so scared. I use to be a hevy smoker Aswell and my PC and my sergon never told me that I can have problems because of it they just told me after 6weeks I can smoke now I'm finding out that if I do I can get cc and I want to smoke so badly. I'm so confused and angry at my self
May 26, 2016
Dont feel that way. The doctor should have warned you in advance about it. I dont smoke, but I have been told smoking is also bad for the scarring, so try to give it up, or at leat space it for some time by now...
Did you already talk about removing the implants with your surgeon? what did he/she tell you? I hope he/she can understand you and be helpful :)
Express yourself with your doctor and try to make him understand your feelings, and if he/she is not comprehensive maybe you should try to look for a different one, cause in my case my original surgeon was very rude, but I found a very sensitive and comprehensive doctor afterwards.
About your holidays dont worry if you plan yor removal for before going on holiday because, at least in my experience, there was no pain at all, and the recovering was really fast, although of course you have to take care of yourself, but things improve very fast :D and you will be able to enjoy your holidays with your son for sure :)

I send you lot of strenght. It seems like this time is frozen and a black hole but there is exit, and soon it will be all part of the past :)
May 26, 2016
I spoke to my pc about it she said I can only see the surgeon in July because that's the only time he can fit me in and I've explained how I feel I've sent a lot of emails I've called so many times all my pc says to me is they will be happy to remove them but I will have to pay again and the only way I can afford it is in October and even if I could afford it now I can only see my surgeon in July so I could only have the opp around August witch I can't because that's when I'm going on holiday so I'm going to have to go on holiday like this :( just feel so depressed with my self don't know how I've put my self though this still trying to get my head around what I've done to be honest. How long did u have yours in for? How was your removal? I'm so scared to have another opp my first one terrified me I'm so scared to have another one. Just so confused and lost
May 27, 2016
Hi mistake mistake, is good they are willing to do the removal your original surgeon, but if time is what doesnt convince you, try to visit more doctors as well. I dont know why it takes so much time for seeing you to them, but maybe is also a good idea to compare different opinions, to find someone you feel confident for removal :)
I know it can scare to have two surgeries in few time, but I did too, and it went much better than I expected. In removal is much easier the recovery in comparision with BA, and the surgery will go perfect if you are in hands of a surgeon you trust. Although they are two surgeries, when you have implants for longterm you are exposed to be in a surgery room for more times as you have to change the implants from time to time... So, this will be another surgery, but THE LAST, as after removal you dont need more related to breast in the future.
The price should be cheaper than BA, more if it is just removing, no fat transfer or lift, and you have just them for few few time, so you just will need removing to be perfect as you are!
Send you a stream of energy!!! You can with this and more!!! This is just a bad situation, and it will be solved, you will see :D

Thankyou very much. It really does help talking to someone that has gone though the same thing I am and the same age. Just really down with my self for putting my self and my son though this.so confused and depressed I know sooner or later these things will be out of me and it will all be in my past but right now there still in me and they will be for a couple more months and it's just killing me it really is I even dream about it that's how much this has gotten to my head I just want to be me again that's all I want I never knew it would be like this or I would feel like this. I've never been one to make good decisions in life but this one just tops it off the worst decision I've ever made in my life and even after removal I will always have the scars to remind me
May 29, 2016
Yes, when I started looking for experiences here I liked to find people of my same age, so I know is nice to find someone to talk that can understand you in this moment, so anything you need to talk you can tell me :)
I know. It's hard that you have imagined BA could be the answer to something in your life, to feel better, and when you realize is not, is very difficult to face it, but as I have told you, fortunately, this have solution, and the result cannot be other that that you will be stronger and more confident, cause after this, you should never let anyone to try to push you down, you have to truly believe from now on that you are perfect the way you are and that you already have all you need to be happy. You have a very nice reason to wake up every day, your son, so fight this battle for you and for him.
Each day may seem harder right now, but time really flies, so, the important thing is if you are fully decide to go for removal, dont stop moving until you get this. Try to be patient, but at the same time insist to get them out as soon as possible, and look for more doctors if the ones you already know does not collaborate a lot.
Where do you have your scars? In any case, scars will fade.. mine are still coloured, but also I think is because of my kind of skin maybe, but in one year-year and half, they are supposed to be not easily perceived ;) and I wear all time Mepiform stripes to fight them, so I dont usually look at them now, so dont give scars too much importance, the most important thing is the scar in your soul, and it will be ok if you feel fine again ;)
Whenever you feel down, remember that you are not alone in this, and that the solution is coming :)

Thankyou very much for replying and for understanding. My son is the only one that is keeping me normal at the moment he was always seeing me cry and asking what's wrong and why I'm upset I have my son seeing me in such a state because of a mistake that I've put my self in. My scar is underneath my boob I can only see them now with the implains if I take a pitcher because if I look in the mirror I can't see them. Today has been a much better day for me my mum has been the one keeping me normal my partner don't understand he just says I've put my self in this state. But my mum has never had implains and she begged me not to do it but she's keeping me normal helping me when I'm down and helping me find the money to fix what I've done. Couldn't get though this with out her. How was it when you removed them compared to when you had the opp to put them in? Is the recovery still really hard? What's driving me more crazy is that I still can't smoke they say I have to wait 6weeks. Did you smoke while you had implains?

I am very very happy that you have the support of your mum. This is very important, and she can help you to feel a bit better. Mums are the best, just a hug of them is so powerful :)
About your partner, you should tell him that you already know you put yourself in this state, and thats why you are now looking for a solution, but that he should be more comprehensive and supportive, as seeing you so down, cause what you need in this moment is to feel the strenght of the people around you, to help you to push you up again. Maybe is because he doesnt know how to dealt with the situation as well, but just his support and caring would be enough to make you feel a bit warmer inside.
When I removed it was sooooo different than BA! BA was the worst and painful feeling I have had. I know some girls dont have lot of pain with BA but I swear for me it was horrible. I also had lot of CCs for my body, maybe my skin suffered more because of the huge weight, I dont know.
When removal it was all so soft... I woke up in peace with my body, with a very nice feeling, althought I entered the surgery room scared of the afterwards. I didnt have pain at all, I took some painkillers of course (some girls have had few pain but I havent known of any with lot of pain as BA), in my case it was amazingly surprising that I didnt even feel the drains, for real, just when doctor took them out, that was an awkarwrd feeling but it was just two seconds :)
It s true that after removal your breast feels a bit like jelly when touching them but it is because of the pressure they have suffered with implants, nothing painful, and this feeling with dissapear as your breast tissue gets stronger and firm again :) and you have very few ccs, just 275cc right? this is not that much, so your breast is not being as much affected as it was mine, and you can see in pics I recovered well ;)
I used to have very firm boobs, when touching them, and now this feeling is like before. I have some fibroadenomas in both breast so I am waiting to be able to have an ecography to see how are my little balls after this journey... Doctor told me after six month I can do it, cause breast tissue needs this time to recover completely. But anyway, I already feel my breast very nicely and like before :)
I am sorry I cannot help you a lot with the smoking issue, as I am not smoker, but is true that doctors normally say is better to wait or space the smoking because of the scarring, I dont know much more about it :(
How are you today?

May 30, 2016
So glad to hear the recovery is nothing like putting them in. I'm mostly scared of the general anestic because when I got them done I didn't react to good to the anestic. That's what I'm mostly scared off and I just hope when I take them out there's gonna be no problems with my boobs afterwards I'm so scared that because of this mistake I'm gonna have problems with my boobs or there's gonna be something wrong with them afterwards. Is there anything wrong with yours like any problems? How long did u have them in for? My mum has been my rock with all of this don't know how I would go though all of this without her. I'm feeling much better today but still really down upset all the time all I can think about is having another opp and if there's gonna be a problem with my boobs after I take out this plastic thing inside me. So scared. What isit you have in your breast now? It's like my life has stopped and I don't no what to do all I can think about is the mistake I've done. Just so down with my self :(

About GA dont be very worried, talk about it with your doctor and when you have the appointment with the anesthesia doctor, they will take everything into consideration for the surgery to make it all go well :) For me, the anesthesia used I think it was softer than in BA, but you should always tell them your worries so they take it into consideration to make you feel perfect while the surgery :)
About future possible problems, my doctor has always told me that once removed you wont have any risk, more if you have had them for this very short time :)
Although the capsule is still not truly formed in this short time, cause it takes longer time, it is important that your doctor removes any small capsule that is beginning to be produced by the body. Therefore, you wont have any leftover of the BA surgery inside your body. Without the capsule, your body will be like before, so you wont have any risk to suffer from different illnesses that might be consequence of implants :D. After removal your body will be clean and perfect inside.
I had them in for 9 weeks. The only thing I can tell was different for some time, is the muscle recovery, as it has been pressed by the implant, I have felt some times like a contraction (nothing painful) on muscles in some movement but few in general and less as months have gone by. And of course, breast tissue needs some recovery as well, at beginning they feel veeery soft, cute haha, but very soft. But soon they get firmer again! :) Now they are really much better (except scars, that are still recovering), everything is like before, even my nipple, that at beginning seemed sad and different, now it is as it was before :)
You have described it perfectly. Its feels like if your life has stopped. But this is not a stop, this is a pause. A bad situation. Now you seem to be in a circle, but I promise you there is still light, and you will reach the end of the circle. Lean on your mum and son, and all your beloved ones that support you, and take strenght from them. You can with this. And your breast will be perfect when you explant, in the inside they will be healthy, and in the outside, as nice as before :)
How are you today? Have you talked again with your surgeon or clinic?

I'm glad to hear that your GA was softer that when you got your implains in. I'm definitely going to speak to him about that because i am so scared of going though what I went though with the GA when I got them done. I'm definitely going to speak to him about removing any capsules that I may have I just want these out of me and pray that I will never have no problems or illnesses with my boobs because of this mistake that I've done. The scars I can deal with to be honest it's just the though of having an illness because of my mistake that I can't handle because I'm going to have to have them in for 6months. Your right this feels like a circle I keep on going round and round. I will only ever be ok when these are out and I've got the all clear that my breast are fine and that I will have no problems with them. My mum is helping me get the money to remove them and already said she will be there to look after my son when I have my other opp witch is a releaf to know that she will be able to look after my baby boy and look after me if I need it lol. I'm feeling much better today Thankyou I'm taking it step by step one day at a time. I just get in panic when I think about another surgery then I start thinking that I might have something wrong with them when I get them removed I start thinking a lot of stupid things then start having a panic attack. I've spoken to the clinic I'm going in tomorrow seen as it's almost been 6weeks since I've had them done to see if everything is ok with them. But I can only see my surgeon to discuss how I'm feeling on the 1st July witch is a joke really. How are you and your boobies? How long has it been since you've had them removed? How long after ur removal did you go back to work and was able to do house work?
June 2, 2016
After removing implants you will be free of anything related to implants, so dont worry about that, your breast will feel and be ok :)
Is very nice your mum is with you and that she can look after you and your son :D
Is normal that you can feel scared about the uncertain things of the after removal as you cannot know things until they are done, but I can tell you it feels great to feel yourself, and your breast will be ok after everything :)
How was your visit to the clinic today? Why you cant see your surgeon till july?
My surgeon of removal was very human, and he explained everything about the surgery, and he told me that now that we have them so few time, the breast tissue is still not affected, so you will look perfect :)
My boobs are pretty well nowadays. I believe they are very similar to before, I think the most important part is the power of your mind, and change your vision, so now I think I try to see myself with more love :) Its true some days can still be a bit down, because all this that have happened in short time, but I feel very well in general :)
Now its four months since my removal :) and they are going better each day. I was at home for one week after the surgery, I could move but I had drains, and I had to be careful cause I didnt want to be hit by accident while in public transport or something, but after one week I went back to work, although it is not very demanding as I am sit in front of a computer, but I think one week is enough :)

That's good that everything goes back to normal. That's all I want to go back to normal and put this horrible mistake behind me and never have to do another breast surgery after the removal again. My oppoment with the nurse when good she just done the 6week check up to see if everything was OK. And only now decided to tell me that I can't sleep on my belly so upset when she said that most of the things I can't do with there's plastic things inside me they didn't tell me before there only telling me now. I can only see my surgeon in July because my pc says that he is really busy and as I don't have the money now for the removal then he can't see me straight away only when I have the money he can see me to tell me what's going to happy with the removal. I'm only seeing him in July because after 3 moths of having the implains he has to make sure everything is ok. It's a joke my PC doesn't care she was just interested in me getting them and that's all I've spoken to the head off about here and the things she did not inform me of and they say I have to write a letter and then they can see what they can do from then. It's so good to know that recovering is much more easier then putting them in. I'm so happy your gone 4months now and your loving the results :). Just hope and pray these will be out of me ASAP and I can just walk away from this mistake with no problems xx
June 8, 2016
In terms of phisycal and health it will go back to normal :) you will have a short period of recovery, as any surgery needs, but not hard to stand, and its a fast recovery. In terms of mentally, it will still demand from you strenght, most of all at the beginning, cause you will still think why you had to make that decision of BA one day, but I promise you it will be left in past and in the end it be worth it. Cause you will recover, and you will have health, and you will look as before, and because you will have a stronger and different mind. Because because of this, you will be able to appreciate the life in a better way, and valorate and love yourself as you are, because I may not have meet you, but I am sure you are a very beautiful person. Dont let anyone tell you the opposite, and believe in and love yourself.
May be you dont have the money yet, but if you cannot visit your surgeon earlier, you maybe could visit more surgeons that have experience on removal. The experience in this surgery is very important, because my BA surgeon told me if I had removal I was going to look so bad, but he said so cause he had never done this kind of surgery, he just knew to put them in. The surgeon of removal told me all the procedure and he ensure to me that I would look as before because before one year of having them is few time and breast recover as they were before BA.
So you can go and try to look for more options while you wait to see you surgeon, and when you have your appointment, then decide with whom you feel better to do it.
Time goes fast so I hope you will have a date of surgery sooner than you think :)
I send you strenght, each day can be difficult now, but they are little steps to get your goal :)

I hope and pray your right. Well you know what your talking about seen as you've been in my shoes and you've had them removed. Just want everything to go back to normal and be able to sleep in peace and pick up my son and hug him without feeling pain when I press him agenst me and my arms feel normal again because right now there always in pain and they go dead sometimes. Still really scared of having another opp but in the same way can't wait because i no after this one I won't need to have another one ever again and I will never have to worry about getting ill because of these plastic things inside me. I've already been looking for another surgeon but haven't found one that is really good with removals but I'm going to keep on looking until I see my surgeon and the same place I've done it there's allot more surgeons there so I'm going to see if there's one better than the one I done my ba with. Because I don't want anything to go wrong I want these out with no problems then just learn from my mistake and be a better person and learn that it's not what I look like that makes me happy it's the way I feel inside and the way I feel about my self :) x
June 9, 2016
Did you tell to the nurse about your feelings on your arms? I remember when I had them in some times I felt as you said my arms like dead sometimes, or like if I had one arm slept and without feeling, once I had this feeling in my hand and it lasted three days without sensitivity, but my BA doctor didnt even reply when I asked him. In any case I think that feeling can maybe be related to the pressure of implant in muscle, because it is related to the muscles and nerves of arms as well, so after removal I dont think you will feel that again without the pressure on your chest.
Is normal to be scared about a new surgery, I was trembling when my removal, but if you tell your fears with GA to your doctor and you trust on them, it will go well :) and this surgery is very short, so your family will wait few time till seeing you again ;) and after everything, when you are recovered you will be able to give a strooooong and lovely hug to your son :D
I am happy to know you are looking for more doctors so you can have different views and choose what you think will be better for you :)
That's the most important thing of all this situation, that you have learn to valorate yourself, and to love yourself, so that will help you as well from now on in your daily life to face different situations and also to show to your nice son the important things in life. He has a strong mum :)

I emailed my nurse about it and she said that its normal because I've had surgery on my chest and that its normal to effect the feeling in my arms but if it gets worse I should go in and see her. She has been amazing with all of this even when I went in crying to her office she tryed everything to help me and always calling and sending me emails to see if I'm ok. The only thing that upset me with her is when I said I was set on getting them out the latest in October she said are you sure your going to be happy when you take them out u wasn't happy before because they were a little saggy because you breast fed your son they may look even worse that's what she said that quite upset me. But honestly I can't wait to be free of these plastic things it's so uncomfortable to pick up my son hug him and sleep omg I've never slept so worse in my life not even when I was pregnant. I'm so looking forward to hugging him tight :). I'm just glad my son is 3 and hasn't released what I've done and hopefully he never will plastic surgery is not good at all we should be happy the way we are not trying to change it thinking it will make us happy. Being healthy that's what makes me happy and this don't make me happy not 1bit.
June 12, 2016
Well, about what your nurse said to you, is true may be before you didnt feel happy and therefore you underwent to BA, but that was because you hadnt realized of what you have realized now, that is that you were and you are beautiful the way you are natural, not depending on plastic objects, and that means a lot, cause the important thing is the power of your mind.
Trust me your breast WONT look worse after removal cause 1. You are very young, so your body recovers faster. 2. You are having your implants for short time in, so your tissue is not affected yet. 3. Your size of implant is not big so your breast tissue is having less impact. 4. Nature is wise and knows how your body needs to recover properly.
So, trust in your body. The general idea of removal when people dont know that much is that woman after removal will look very bad, but is not like that, I have seen it on myself, that I have recovered well althought I had a big implant and my skin expanded a lot when I had them.
I hope you will be free soon and so that you can find the peace you need with your body and with yourself.
After everything you will feel better and you will hug your son as much as you want :D and with all this situation you have lived will give you experience in life and you will be able to advise him wisely so he can learn to love his own beauty as his mum is already doing :)
I leave you this URL of a song hoping to cheer you up, cause you should never let anyone tell you you wont be happy with yourself, cause the only person that is allowed to decide about you is yourself, and because you should look at yourself always with happiness and love, focusing on the good and unique things that you have and that make you who you are:

wow thats just how I feel :(( it's sad to think that you have a scar not because you had to fight against a disease or anything.. its because of a bad choice at a bad moment, thar we will remind forever :// there's a lot of similarities in our stories, I don't know when I will be able to take mine out caise I dont get licence or holidays until december and I get really scared about how my breast is gonna look by then. I just don't like the feeling of it and the scar remembering me
of my mistake.. I didnt have much breast tissue and I'm scared of how it's gonna look.. How is your process now? Were you able to get it done?
July 15, 2016
Hi implantnop,
it is true that our scars had been because of something elective, as it was us who decided to undergo to this surgery, but dont think about them as something that is going to remind a mistake forever... is true they will be there always, but hopefully they will fade well with time, mines now are better (I am almost six months postexplant) and they will be not a mistake reminder but a sign of the self wisdom we have acquired.
They will be there to remind us we dont need to change anything of our body because of what part of society tries to say we 'need', because we are perfect how we are, healthy and natural.
For how long are you having your implants in? Dont have fear of their appereance after removal, because your body has kind of skin memory, and they will recover very well. My skin expanded a lot when I got the implants in, and I had few tissue originally, and nowadays they are same as before :)
I wish you all the best in this journey and if you need any help or have any doubt I will be here for you.

Thank you so much issogoodtobeyourself .. I have had them for 3 weeks now but I'm afraid it will take longer till I can go for an explant.. I think it's amazing the way you're pointing facts, and I hope I'll be able to think that way as well! It's so nice to see you and all the ladies here feeling good with who they are, even if society is so mean sometimes... I live in Brazil and I think maybe all that aesthetic stuff is even worse here.. I think maybe we should just be connected to ourselves so we can remind who we are and not listen to the media.. Thank you so much for your help

Three weeks is very few time in so your breast tissue is still not affected, so don't worry about the looking afterwards, because even if you had to wait some months because you couldnt do it now, your breast will still not be affected by the implant, the skin will get back to its original way, and in any case, I have seen here many women that have had them for many years and their results have been good too :)
I had them for few more than two months and now they are like before, I even like them more because now I appreciate more myself, cause before I always thought there was something wrong on me, but I learnt to love myself because of this stupid decision (I had to take something good from all this bad time, so at least now I dont care about what other people may think about me or my body, because in the end the only person you will live your whole life is yourself, so why to treat and think about yourself in a bad way? ;) ).
You have everything in favor of having a good result afterwards, as you are very young, you have not put in a big weight of implant, and you are having them for not long time, so this is all good for the removal result as well :)
Have you already seen any doctor for the removal surgery?

You have awesome results ! Don't let anybody telle you the contrary ! Thanks for sharing your story

Thank you for such kind words! Of course, we shouldn't let anybody to judge our body. We are all beautiful the way we are naturally :)
UPDATED FROM issogoodtobeyourself
5 months post
Updating about scars
issogoodtobeyourselfJune 2, 2016
Hi again ladies!! I wanted to post few pics of how my scars are going :) The right one is worse, cause it is a bit sunken. Anyway, I believe they are improving with the caring, and it is still soon to see how they will evolve :)
At beginning I wore all day steril stripes, I just took the stripes out once a day for massaging the scar with rosehip oil with circle movements on the scar. Some of the threads went out from both scars, but it wasnt something bad.
After two months I started using Mepiform stripes 24/7, but taking them off for having shower.
In my last visit to doctor last friday he told me I have to use mepiform till september, when I will have my next appointment, but he told me when I go to the beach or swimming pool is better to leave the Mepiform stripes at home cause under the water the stripes may fall. Also, I will have to put sun cream protection SPF 50 to prevent some pigmentation when in beach or swimming pool.
I also update a pic of my breast now, after 4 months of removal :)
Kisses, strenght and love to you all!!

In my last visit to doctor last friday he told me I have to use mepiform till september, when I will have my next appointment, but he told me when I go to the beach or swimming pool is better to leave the Mepiform stripes at home cause under the water the stripes may fall. Also, I will have to put sun cream protection SPF 50 to prevent some pigmentation when in beach or swimming pool.
I also update a pic of my breast now, after 4 months of removal :)
Kisses, strenght and love to you all!!

You are very nice! Thank you so much!
Yes, I trust in nature, in the end the most wise thing in world is nature, so our own bodies will know how they can recover better ;) and it is still soon, so in few more months I hope they will have improved more :)
Sure yours are going well, think this is a matter of time, and your body now is free and can focus completely in the recovery of your breast and scars ;) if your soul feels well, your body will reflect it in the outside as well :D

After One Year
issogoodtobeyourselfJanuary 22, 2017
Hello beautiful ladies! It's going to be one year of my explant surgery in few days and so I feel like I wanted to post my feelings and my views so far so that may be they can help other women.
I would like to begin encouraging any girl and woman that may be in the same situation I was one year ago, when I still had my implants in. I would like to encourage them to take the strength of going for explant if they miss their natural body, if they feel bad because of their BA surgery and if they find any other reason to feel they need to get read of those toxic balls. I would say to all of you, go and do it, explant and feel your own freedom, free yourself of those burdens and feel how good it is to love your own natural and beautiful body.
In this year I have learnt some things due to all the breast issue:
- We are our worst judge. The ideas and misconceptions we have about ourselves are the consequence of insecurities we have created, developed (may be because of many factors and influencies), and what is worse, we have believed these misconceptions and taken them as if they were real. We should change our mindset from our inner, and start to focus on looking for our beautiful details, because we are all beautiful if we just believe it.
I read one comment of a girl few days ago that says something like she hadn't learnt to love her flaws, because simply she didn't see them as flaws, so she loved herself, as simple as that. We believe we have something wrong, that may be we have been bad-built and that therefore we need to change it at any cost for being accepted by others. That's really sad. I believe each of us has a particular beauty, that everyone has something nice and that we don't need to change anything if we are able to see and appreciate our body and love it as it is our fountain of life. We just have to try our best to feel comfortable in our own bodies, and so, if you like that top of that dress but then you think you cannot wear that because you have small boobs or some kind of body, you are wrong, you can wear whatever you want and I'm sure you will look perfectly gorgeous if you don't forget to wear your confidence as well.
- Life is better not depending on foreign objects. Health is many times taked for granted. When we have it we don't realize how lucky we are and we just appreciate it once we are sick or have some health issue. Depending every single day of two plastic balls inside your body trust me, is not going to help your health. All the possible symptoms you can develop with the time, and the risks for your body are not worth two cups more of bra. In my case, I choose a happy natural and healthy body.
- There are things that cannot be undone. Yes, I sometimes wish I had never undergone to the BA in first place (I say sometimes because other times I believe that wrong decision at least made me see some things of life differently and I learnt to love myself as I am). We are not aware of this but a simple decision can change your whole life, or at least, your mindset.
I have changed a lot since I had the surgeries done. I sometimes remember my old life, as I call my life before BA, because I feel like if a part of me died after my BA and that I will never be exactly the same again, and so, I miss my old self in the sense that leaving aside the fact of my stupid insecurity, I was really happy. Not all the time of course, but I remember some of those times as if I were happier. The period of time when I had the implants in for me now it's like it had never existed. My mind has deleted those times more or less like if that was the proccess where my previous life ended and my second life began (right after the explant). Now I am very happy as well, don't missunderstand me please, but I feel different, I don't know how to explain it.
-For me the explant has been worth it. Of course. I do love my breast now, despite the fact that my scars are still noticeable (because of my kind of sink), I really love them, they are soft, natural, warm, and perfect for my body shape. I also appreciate and love myself more now. I have discovered the true and unique beauty that all of us have, and I hope you can find it as well.
So, on the whole, I keep with me the positive things of this journey. I wish you can find your natural love and beauty and don't let anyone destroy yourself with their comments. YOU ARE NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL.

I feel like this is my story too. I don't know what I was thinking. I hate these things. It has been nine weeks. I want them out. I was so beautiful before and I don't know how I couldn't see it. I am going to get them removed just terrified of surgery again. I think I am going todo local. Do you feel the same other than a visual scar? Do your boobs feel the same??
January 23, 2017
Hi Sabs123,
Don't worry, 9 weeks is few time so your breast tissue has not been affected yet, so I'm sure you will recover nicely :) Don't be afraid of the surgery, it is much faster and simple than the BA, and if you trust a good doctor you will see it goes by soon.
About the scar, mine are whiter now, they are visible still but it's ok for me, in the end I had my body cut, so I have to have some mark of that I guess, but in any case with time they are less and less noticeable. Hopefully in some more months they are even whiter :)
My boobs feel the same, yes, at the beginning after removal they were may be like too soft for the first two weeks more or less, but with some time and caring, massaging and putting on oil to prevent any stripe, they looked and look definetely well to me.
I am very happy of having explant, and I am sure you will feel great as well to take back your natural self :)
I wish you all the best and if you have any doubt I will be glad to answer to you :)

I wanted to ask how your scars look and if you had any problems with nipple or skin numbness. I hav explain scheduled on March 13th.
February 17, 2017
Hello Sabs123 ! Sorry for not replying earlier!
My scars look great now that is been one year. They are much whiter and I hope they will improve more in the months ahead. I use for them a cream now that is specific for scars cause they say scars change and can be well treated for the first 18 months so I try to take advantage of the months I still have and I try to be constant. Anyway, they look great now.
About my nipples, in the first month they seemed to have suffered because of all the procedure but with few time they started to heal really well and in few months they were the same as before, and now they are like they always were, I think in the end it's all a matter of time to heal and recover properly.
Fortunately I dont have any skin numbness, I feel normal in all my breast skin and I dont have any strange feeling in what regards numbness.
How are you ? Is your explant date in March? I send you lots of energy, you will see how good is to feel natural and free!

Yes. March 1st. I still have nipple numbness and numb skin. I hope it heals and goes back to normal after the explant. I hope everything goes back to normal. My scars are healing really well know so I hope after they will. My surgeon warned my breasts won't look the sam so I am very nervous. Thank yoh

You look fantastic!!!!
Your review is absolutely true, society makes a lot of pressure with women but we were very smart to realize we don't need those implants!
You're really beautiful naturally!!!!!
You are a mature and strong young girl, with your example you are making the world a better place :)
[RS bleep]
Yes, I appreciate more my own beauty now without implants, I believe we are all beautiful the way we are :D
Thanks for your comment pink_, I will look forward to read your review :)
I have read some of your comments, and I also believe you must look gorgeous now after removal and let me tell you you also contribute to make this world better with your help :)
