I had my breast augmentation in August 2008. I had a small C and a large D, they looked so silly that I named them Lucy and Ethel, and they were a little lower than I wanted. Approaching 40 I decided to do something about it. Several friends had implants so I thought that was the way to go. I went bigger than I wanted to because all my friends said I would regret it if I didn't. What I regret is that I have 475 CC in one breast and 550 CC in the other! I'm now 45 and I hate the attention that my boobs get! Men seriously have no shame. Plus, I have degenerative discs and live with constant back pain, those big boobies can't be helping! I also started working out after the implants were put in and cardio is miserable. Soooo, out they are coming. I'm more nervous getting them out than when I had them put in. They are large but my surgeon did a perfect job. They are even, nipples look great. I'm scared that they won't look good. I am also doing a lift and my surgeon, who did the first surgery, assured me that he will make them look great. I'm also a little angry with myself for all the money I have spent on boobs! This site has helped inform me and added a little anxiety I have to admit. Crossing my fingers and thank you to all those that posted that has helped me in preparation for this.

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! What are you most anxious about? Is it how you'll look after?

My anxiety was just that I would be flat and saggy or look deformed! My Doc is wonderful and I had faith. Looking thru the internet I saw several pics that made that anxiety high.

I'm glad I can help. I do not regret the removal at all. I'm still healing but I feel so much better. I really had no idea how heavy they were until they were gone! Good luck!

I'm still in a little bit of pain but so far it is totally worth it.
