39 Years Old Changing Breast Implants out After 19 Years!

WORTH IT$5,500

I'm about 5'7 142 lbs 39 years old with no children. I got my boobs done when I was 20 years old. I have saline under the muscle and I got them done so long ago that my dr doesn't have record of how many ccs I have. He guessed at 400 ccs allergen brand (if I spelled that right) I scheduled an appt for replacing my implants with my original surgeon for July 16. I'm going to need pocket revision and he talked about adding 50ccs. He suggested silicone but I have hashimotos autoimmune disease so I feel safer sticking w/saline. I honestly loved my boobs most of this time. Even now I don't hate them. But I really notice the problems when I look at my pics more then in real life. When I lay down my right breast falls towards my armpit and leaves a dent in my cleavage. Also one boob never settled as low as the other. I'm hoping this surgery will leave me more symmetrical!! Anyone have any advice please let me know what u think about size? Only going up 50 ccs.

Please let me know how it went...your case is almost exact to mine!! Talk to me..thanks..Nanette

May 23, 2017

Are u going up in size?

May 23, 2017

No..im happy with my implant size. I was a 32b before my implants..went up to a 34c. Perfect for my body. About a week ago.my saline right implant just deflated completely.

May 23, 2017

Oh no!! That's why I know it's time!!! Did u have any pain beforehand? I've been feeling some weird sensations. Are u sticking with saline? Does it make surgery harder bc one deflated?

August 8, 2017

Just checking on u! How's it going?

August 13, 2017

Just got back from vacation (kellys island/put in bay ohio) doing ok, seem to be having an arm issue from having blood drawn twice from same vein in 2 consecutive days. I have an appt tomorrow at 9am with dr. to check on why. hard to straighten out my right arm up over my head..feels like its pulling on a tendon for some reason...really super tight. hope all is well with you!!

August 13, 2017

I swear it's always something! Eventually we'll be back to normal lol!!! I've had a lot of pain in my armpits again. I was starting to like the way things were looking last week now this week I'm not thrilled. Ups and downs. I'm hoping I'm not getting another cc.

August 14, 2017

totally understand! I went today to see the oncologist and the radiologist...told both no thanks on treatments, no aramidex either..(drug that is supposed to inhibit any estrogen left ) too many side effects on bones, and joints.. I just want peace right now..get back to work make some money and feel normal again. I have to say now that my swelling has gone down...I am happy with the results!

August 14, 2017

I understand about treatment. Sometimes more harm then good is done. I'm glad u like your results! U have my continued prayers for your health!

August 14, 2017

As you have mine back at you. please keep in touch..maybe one day we can meet up..have lunch or dinner or something! keep plugging along....

August 14, 2017

I'm gonna inbox u

May 23, 2017

Dang I just noticed my surgery is scheduled before yours

May 23, 2017

When is your surgery ?

May 23, 2017

June 7th with Dr gupta

May 23, 2017

Wow!! Was your original surgery w/him too? Crazy u found me, not many reviews on him.

May 23, 2017

My original surgery was in Toledo at the plastic surgery center..i believe lng hone now..came across his son in tiled witch led me to his dad here in Michigan..i agree on not many reviews..made me a bit nervous

June 3, 2017

Your date is coming so fast now!!! How did your mammogram appointment go?

June 4, 2017

Not good...a bit down. Ultrasound was not hop either...sad
Now on June 7.. At 1030am ill be getting a biopsy instead..scary.

June 4, 2017

U have a lump?

June 4, 2017

No lump that could feel this time..back in 1998 there was a distinct lump. The radiologists saw something they didn't like last Tuesday..sent me to ultrasound tech..then ultrasound tech called the he's radiation Dr in to look..she said I need a biopsy..its in the top portion of right breast.

June 5, 2017

Hopefully everything is fine! I'm praying for u! If something is going on maybe it was a blessing the implant deflated so u found it early!! Keeping my fingers crossed that your biopsy comes back negative and u can proceed with surgery! Try not to worry yourself too much, I know that's easier said then done!

June 5, 2017

thank you very much! ive been thinking the same thing..must have happened now for a reason. Ill keep you posted best I can. should know results either Friday afternoon or Monday sometime.

June 5, 2017

Okay keep me updated!

June 18, 2017

Any news yet?

May 23, 2017

Yes..i was experiencing some pain..and bubble like stuff happening. He is saying silicone I better..but I liked my saline ones..held up super well for a very long time. Hope surgery is easier...

May 23, 2017

Yes the bubbling feeling, that's what I'm experiencing too. I hope mine hold up 2 more mos!! How many years did u have yours?

May 24, 2017

19years. I had left bread cancer lumpectomy done and implants put in then on both sides. Had zero issues with either implant until 2weeks ago when right one totally went flat. Left one is fine for now..gupta agreed if its not broke dont fix it since it has some scar tissue from cancer surgery.

May 24, 2017

That makes sense. That's awesome that u did so well with the implants for so long.

May 24, 2017

Kinda funny..but I've been extremely picky on any type of squeezes on them! Manual or machines

May 24, 2017

Yeah I don't blame u. I've never had a mammogram:/

May 24, 2017

Did you consult with any other drs?

May 24, 2017

The first time I did. I can't remember names tho. Their post opp pics were enough to scare me away. This time I went straight to Gupta

May 24, 2017

I'm having a mammogram done Friday at Henry Ford hospital beforehand just to make sure no issues before putting in a new Implant! Easier to squish my boob now that I'm deflated anyways

May 24, 2017

Absolutely!!! Good idea! Keep me posted!!

May 24, 2017

I will. thanks for taking the time to talk with me..this has not been the easiest thing to go through.

May 25, 2017

U have gone thru a lot. First u beat cancer now your dealing w/a deflated implant! I have faith that dr Gupta can make things right for u!

June 18, 2017

Yes..i just found out Wednesday that I have invasive stage 2 right bread cancer now. Dr Peterson at Henry ford believes its the same kind that I had 19years ago..er pr positive..e are waiting on a fish test to come back ..maybe Monday. Plan is surgery July 17.. First day I could get my breast cancer surgeon and my reconstruction surgeon to both had time to do it all at once! I'm back on my macro biotic diet from 19years ago. And yoga..meditation..chiropractic care and drinking fresh squeezed wheat grass juice..its yucky but works...thank you for checking up on me! N

June 18, 2017

Your surgury is 2 days before mine, we'll be recovering together! Will u be good to go after surgery without radiation or chemo? Luckily that implant ruptured before the cancer was in late stages, everything really does happen for a reason! Your in my thoughts. Keep me updated!!

June 20, 2017

during my surgery, they will remove what is called a sentinel lymph node. HOPEFULLY it is negative. (my first cancer 19 years ago..it was positive, hence chemo) radiation is a given since I opted for a lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy. I will keep you posted...you do the same! thank you much.

June 20, 2017

XOXO will do!!!

July 16, 2017

Surgery is tomorrow...wish me luck...ill be thinking of you and wishing you the same a few days later... I'm the first surgery. arrival time at hospital is 0530..surgery about 8am. take care of yourself!! nanette

July 17, 2017

Lots of love girl!!! Keep me posted and thank u!!!!!

July 19, 2017

I made it though! healing now. drain comes out Friday. should know results on Friday, maybe Monday too..will update you then and check back to see how you did with your surgery! healing hugs to you. hope all goes smoothly for you..nanette

July 20, 2017

These pics make problems more obvious, honestly I don't notice this much of a difference when I'm looking at myself!!!

I think your breast looks great despite the flaws you mentioned, which i didnt notice until I read it.

June 6, 2017

Thank u! Honestly in person they look much better. I feel like the pics exaggerate the differences! I do notice them but not as much as in the pics. I'm hoping I love the new ones even more!! Just wish I was getting rid of my gut too lol!!!

June 6, 2017

I'm sure you'll love the new ones. and Since your not getting gigantic boobies, your new ones should looks like a better version of what u have now, which are already good.

June 6, 2017

Keeping my family fingers crossed!!

June 7, 2017

me too!

August 7, 2017

Just had revision implants & abdominoplasty! Cheaper to get it all done together, 1 recovery! Looks fantastic, and the bigger boobs will make it look smaller anyway! Good luck for your surgery

August 7, 2017

Thanks!! I actually has sx 2.5 weeks ago. I'm sure your recovery wasn't fun!! But worth it!

August 7, 2017

July 10, 2018

I wouldnt mess with it unless there are issues, they look greaT

August 3, 2018

your left breast looks bigger, maybe u had it like that before surgery, do he needed to add more cc to the other breast or he didn't add the same amount to both. I would go to a different doctor for a second opinion.

August 3, 2018

I had surgery to replace implants and the smaller looking breast was a capsular contracture(scar tissue squeezing the implant) I got a little bigger implant and the pockets repaired. I look symmetrical now and am very happy with my results.

50 ccs should be enough even though theyre a great size already

June 6, 2017

Thanks rsbff! I don't wanna go too big bc I don't wanna feel the edge of the implants or have lifted skin in between my boobs or added sagging in the future . I just wanna be symmetrical!!!

June 6, 2017

I hear u. I'm looking forward to your results ;)

June 6, 2017

Thanks girl!!!!!
