I just wanted to share my story in hopes that it would help someone. First off, I had a BA done in 2013. I got 325cc silicone round unders. When I first got them I thought they were "okay" but I wasn't crazy about them. I assumed that with time I would begin to like them. Well, it turned out to be the opposite. With time, I hated them. I always covered them up and I just felt like they did not look natural. Now I was a tinnnyyy A before the surgery (5'2'' 120lbs small frame) and I was basically a full C, basically a D after the BA. I had wanted a small to full B size. I didn't get a BA to show them off or anything I wanted to look natural and just wanted to it have to wear padded bras all the time. I went to one of the best doctors in the country and still they just didn't look right in my eyes. I realized that no matter what, fake boobs are fake boobs. Fast forward to 2015 and I finally decided to have them removed. The PS tried to convince me to go with a different shape and size of iplant which is what I originally wanted to do, but after some carefully thiking and self reflection I realized that I hated having these big fake lumps in my body and I also hated carrying that secret. I hated the fact that I had done this to my body and hated the fact that I'd have to go through this every 10 to fifteen years. I realized that even if the implamt was tiny it was dtill something fake in my body. I decided to just extract them. My PS told me it is rare for someone my age to just explant them but I didn't care. This was honestly the best decision I've ever made for myself. I'm only a few days post op and I have no sagging skin or issues. The surgery was a breeze, I went out to eat right after the surgery. I feel 100 times better about myself. Although I hated what I had originally done to my body, I feel like I have a new love and appreciation for my body. I HATED my A cups before and now I LOVE and prefer them to having fake boobs in my body and to be honest it seems like my boobs are actually a little bigger, maybe a half a cup bigger now (I haven't bought a new bra since I'm still healing and have just been wearing sports bras). I also instantly look 10 lbs lighter and just feel so much better... it's bizarre really. I thought I'd be on a depressed state after the surgery. All in all what I'm saying is seriously love your body. I wish I had listed to everyone before getting my boobs done, but I guess this is what it took for me to accept my own body. I hope I can bring comfort to those wanting to explant or prevent someone from getting a breast augmentation in the first place. Thanks for reading and good luck to everyone if you need anything or have questions just message me.

I am also 26 years old and had my implants removed yesterday after a year and a half. I had 400/425cc silicone unders. I too got them out because over the past 18 months I'e done a lot of self-growth just as you have. It was an expensive lesson to learn but many women spend a lifetime without the kind of self acceptance we now have. That is beyond any amount of money. Good luck in your recovery as well!

Thank you! I'm glad you also are finally able to accept your body! Everyone on here is so supportive I wish I had known about this site before hand but I'm glad I found it!

Hello! Congrats on your explant, you look absolutely fantastic! I had my ba all scheduled and paid for but just yesterday after reading through many of the ladies on this sites stories I have cancelled my surgery and honestly feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders and am so glad that I'm no longer going through with it - my intuition was telling me not too. I've also learnt to appreciate my tiny little boobies too haha! Congratulations again!
August 5, 2015
Wow that's great to hear! I'm really happy you were able to accept yourself before making a huge mistake! If your gut told you not to beforehand, then I'm sure you would have regretted it. Good for you, I wish you the best and thank you for your nice and supportive comment!

You are a smart women. I didn't listen to my intuition I should've but I didn't and here I am. Waiting for explanation.

(Sorry my bad english, I'm brazilian)
Its good to know I'm not alone in this situation, I have my implants for 1 year. Before, my breasts were a bit smaller than yours but now all I want is them back, I would love them, even the size. I hate this fake thing under my skin, its hard, i can feel its two balls instead of boobies. I hope my results will be so good as yours!

Idaprampero- I totally understand what you're going through. I am having mine removed in 4 1/2 days. I HATE my fake boobs. I've only had them for a little over 3 weeks and can't wait to have my small boobies back!
August 6, 2015
Yeah, once you hate them I think you'll never get used to or like them. Certainly your results will be good, once you had the implants for such a little time. Good lucky!!
August 6, 2015
Thank you for your kind words! If you've only had your implants for a year you should have great results. I had mine in for almost 2 years and my skin is already looking pretty much normal and supposedly it just gets better and better over several months. Best wishes to you on your explant journey!

You are my soul sister ! Hehe but seriously go read my review....mine is a little more detailed/frantic sounding since I haven't had the explant yet, but we are twins. Same size, same 325cc, same thoughts/feelings. This review just made me that much more confident with my decision. The only difference is that I have a complication, which makes me a bit more scared. Also, I will be going under full anesthesia and removing the complete capsule. Did you remove the complete capsule also? And where were your incisions? I am hoping my results are like yours! xo
August 16, 2015
I just read your review and I feel your pain! I know exactly how you're feeling! I'm glad my review was able to help you I had many of the same concerns.. mainly how they'd look after explanting... but if you think about it, one day you will have to get them explanted and if you've had them for decades and get older you probably won't have too great results so I kind of said now is better than later. Also, I was under general anesthesia, but the doctor did not remove the capsule, he just took out the implants and sewed me back up. My incision was at the crease. When I first looked at my boobs they were a little bit looser, but honestly after 6 days like in my pics they looked almost normal. Now I'm 17 days post op and they look better than they ever did even before implants! I'm 26 so you being 23 probably means you'll have similar or even better results! Also making my decision I decided that I didn't really care if my boobs turned out smaller or sagging because I just wanted to be me again and avoid more surgeries or complications in the future which is the most important thing. Anyway good luck to you and I hope everything goes great. Let me know if you need anymore advice!!
August 20, 2015
wow I don't see the incision. I'm so concerned it will look so obvious once I explant because I don't have much natural breast tissue. Can you see the scar when you lift your arms?
August 23, 2015
The scars are still healing but my scars when I had my breast implants in weren't obvious at all and I didn't even use the scar cream. This time I am going to use the scar cream and they were done over the same incisions so I'm expecting an even better result than before

Well its been about 5 days now and I am still happy about my decision. I no longer need pain meds and I feel like the skin on my breasts is becoming tighter. I didn't have sagging, but I did notice the skin was a tad thinner in the upper pole of my breast. In just 5 days though I see a huge difference. I'll try to post pics soon. Thanks again for the support from all of you!

Okay so I finally took some pictures. This is 6 days post op. Note: my left breast has always been bigger than my right. Also to note... my breasts were actually smaller than this before I ever had implants. I could not even fit into an A cup before so for some reason mine have grown a little bit. My nips also have always been slightly flat/ inverted.

Omg you look great, especially at only 6 days! Awesome! I'm so happy for you!
August 4, 2015
Aw thank you so much. Now I need to work on my stomach hahahha. It'll be easier now that I don't have those giant things flopping when I run haha.

August 4, 2015
Even your stomach looks good to me. You have nothing to worry about! I'm really halt for you! I hope I can expect a good outcome for my explant. Mine will have only been in for 1 month to the day when I get them removed. I'm just very nervous about the procedure since I'll be awake :/ But the nurse assured me she'd be there holding my hand and they'll have music playing so I plan on closing my eyes and praying it goes fast and is painless lol

August 4, 2015
I'm sure you'll have awesome results since you've only had them for a month. Your skin probably hasn't even really stretched out that much. I know it can be nerve wrecking. I was really nervous even though mine was under general anesthesia. Jus th remember when it's over you'll be happy again!

August 4, 2015
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I'm ready for them to be gone.
I'm so happy to hear your explant went well. You already seem super happy.

You look good! Yay!!!!
August 6, 2015
Thank you that really just makes me even more sure that I did the right thing! I'm so happy now!
August 16, 2015
You look beautiful
August 20, 2015
No I mean it. You look great sweetie. Mine are still sad looking, but I was actually expecting worse. So I'm happy about the results so far. I'm so happy I found this site with wonderful ladies to share similar stories. Xoxoxo
Again, I'm just nervous due to being awake but you're right, I'm sure I'll be okay. It seems as though local is more common and heck, if other women can get through it, well, so can I :)
I'm happy your explant went well and recovery seems to be running smoothly for you. I hope mine is just as easy. I'm SO looking forward to having these out of me. Unfortunately it was an expensive mistake but it was a mistake nonetheless.
Keep going strong! And thank you for sharing your story and experience.
