Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

They're Out!
I had my surgery yesterday morning to remove 22 year old saline unders. I can't believe they were so old. I had general anesthesia, it took about 40 minutes to remove the implants and capsules. I was sent home wrapped in an ace type bandage and no drains. I had no pain at all. That still amazes me. I even slept on my side last night. No elevation needed either. Today I was allowed to shower. I am wearing a bandeau stretch bra, mostly to hold the gauze pads over the incisions because I'll continue to seep for a day or more.
Already the tension is gone from my neck, back and shoulders. And my pecs are so happy to be relaxed. I've been wearing those implants too high all these years because the original doc didn't release the muscles. I don't really understand what that means, but my profile is now more normal.
When I got my first set of silicones in 1980, I was an AA. I weighed about 100 pounds and am 5' 1". I got the salines in 1994 and weighed 120. Now I'm 140 pounds and have a lot more breast tissue than in 1980.
Here are day 2 pictures. I know that I'm swollen and everything is going to shrink in the next few days, then fluff in the next few months. Thanks to everyone that shared stories and pictures that gave me the courage to explant. I'm so happy!

The last day of implants. Tomorrow they're out!
I can't adequately express my gratitude for everyone who has bravely shared their photos throughout their journey. Because of your courage, I believe I am prepared for my outcome, whatever the results. I will know to be patient, and that healing and progress will take months. I have been hiding these unattractive implants for years and can't wait to be free of them. 36 years and 40 pounds ago, I was a scant aa. I now have more breast tissue due to menopause, but would be more than happy to return to an a/aa.
Tomorrow they will be removed, with the capsules, under general anesthesia. My doc doesn't use drains, and I'll be wrapped with an ace type bandage. The following day I am to remove bandages and shower. No compression bras. The doctors are all so different in their approach to recovery.
Thanks again for all your support!
