Removal of PIP Implants Without Replacement - United Kingdom, GB
ORIGINAL POST
Hi all, just want to say its been wonderful...
WORTH IT
Hi all, just want to say its been wonderful reading all the reviews, I'm finding them so helpfull, so big big thank you :)
I have a date for my operation and I've mixed emotions, mainly nervous and worried about everything ( I'm quite a worrier ) I know I'm doing the right thing for my health and I'm also looking forward to be all natural again. In 2007 I had the awful pip's 260cc in right and 245cc in left under the muscle, they did increase my confidence as I really didn't like the way I looked before, 32A and to be honest I didn't really fill that, I just didn't seem to develop as a teenager, all my friends did but me, well the day never came :( so after my 2 boys I decided to go for it at the age of 26, 6 years later they're coming out! If they were good quality implants to be honest I wouldn't be putting my self through another op, but these horrible things need to go!!
I've decided not to have them replaced as I don't want to risk having further operations in the future, plus it will fill empowering to love me for me, not fake boobs! I feel as if I've grown as a person a lot these last 6 years, I'm in a happy place with life and family, who cares if I've small breasts :) 6 years ago I would never imagine I'd be able to say that lol
Roll on the 20th just want this over with!!
I'll add some pics soon

Feeling confused
Hi all I feel very mixed up today, went out with husband last night (which is rare lol) and really enjoyed getting all dressed up, but as the night went on and after a couple of cheeky wines it really dawned on me that I'll probably never wear this dress again, I know it sounds silly but I'm scared how I'll going to feel, will I still have confidence?? Will I still feel sexy?? I was so very flat before, just hope I can cope, it will be nice to get rid of these hard cold balls lol but I know I'll no longer fill my clothes...worrying times :(

Hi, I've literally just signed up to the site on reading your comments. I don't have PIP implants but I have silicone and schedules to have an explant on the 28th of October. I too have really mixed emotions. part of me just wants to get rid of them but the other part of me although feels silly for being so vain Im worried I wont look good in clothes. will my figure look terrible and out of proportion and will they be really saggy. Im 35 and had them for 16 years. feel confused :/

I completely understand what you're going through, we know we're doing the right thing for our health but we still want to feel and look like a woman, I'm trying so hard to put things into perspective but its not easy, so your ops 8 days after mine, we're doing the right thing and I'm sure we will both look beautiful x

Good luck for the 20th Hazel and thanks so much for your reply. Let us know how it goes. I will post some pics of of before and then after the op also. Just navigating my way around here at the moment. The thing I find is my boyfriend thinks I should just get them straight out but my friends are saying I should replace them and they wont look good afterwards if I dont. I've been really surprised at my friends even the ones who I never thought of as superficial or vain are telling me I will regret not having them replaced and thats been the hard thing to try and come to terms with. I thought my friends would support me. I guess only I know what is best for me so I just have to ride it out and see what the outcome will be. x

That's right only you know and I wonder if they were in your position would they really be so ready to have them replaced? I think not, so many things can go wrong, putting yourself through an opperation is bad enough, plus all the possible complications with the implants. Our health comes above all x

me too I am 42 years old and always thought I had saline, but now that I have a ruptured implant I have been told its silicone, The doctors here wont do surgery with out replacing them I am confused and scared

That's dreadful I really feel for you, It shouldn't be up to the doctors whether they're replaced or not, how awful! Take care
