24 Year Old, Mother of 1, Needs Them Out! - Tucson, AZ

ORIGINAL POST

I am very excited to finally be moving forward...

I am very excited to finally be moving forward with removing these foreign objects from my body! I have been considering having them removed for over 2 years, but I became pregnant and that put all of this to a halt. My son is now 8 months old and my breast are saggy and bottoming out. I am NOT happy with them and am ready to have them removed asap. I met with Dr. Maxwell today and she advised me that my breast tissue still feels great and she believes she can give me great results with a removal only, no lift necessary! Thank heavens, being single mom, surgery is expensive, but Dr. Maxwell is amazing and I'm already very comfortable with my choice. I just need to get my finances together and schedule my surgery (I'm aiming for April after I return from a trip). She also advised I should be back to work in less than 3 days, which is great! More updates to come, as well as before photos.

Thanks so much for starting your story on RealSelf! What do you dislike most about your implants? Is it the way they look or the way they feel?

I was happy with the look and feel for the first year I had them in. Now they have since stretched and sagged due to the 50lbd I gained while pregnant as well as breastfeeding. They also cause a good deal of back pain and they have bottomed out which prevents me from wearing a real bra. I now only wear sports bras.

Good for you!!! I just had my explant march 5th, no lift. I cannot believe how good my boobs look. I am amazed at how magnificent the body is. I am as I was before implant. I have no regrets. The shirt I'm wearing today looks so cute with my outfit. Before I could only wear this shirt to the club because it was too provocative. Now its just dam cute, and sexy. Good luck to you my dear!!!!;

That's been my issue, I've wanted mine out since the day I got them back in 2001. I had my first consult yesterday and here it costs 3830. Which is crazy expensive, I don't want to apply for credit, but may have to. How long have you had yours? Good luck with your explant.

I think you're boobs look great for having a child and they don't look saggy to me. But I understand on wanting them out. Cause I'm going through the same thing.

I have decided to have the surgery sometime in October. This will give me time to save the $3000 and pay cash rather than finance it. I'll keep you ladies posted!!
