20 Years Old and Getting 2 Year Old Silicone Breast Implants Removed After One Revision....Washington, DC

I had a breast augmentation 2 years ago after my now ex-boyfriend would make me feel bad about my small breasts. I am someone who has had other elective cosmetic surgery that I definitely DO NOT regret because it was exactly what I wanted, but I allowed a man to pressure me to get a boob job when I was 18 and not ready to make that decision. He also promised to help pay for them, but put some money to it and then I was left to deal with the financial burden at that young of an age. But the worst part isn't the money wasted, I just wasn't informed enough to make a decision. I thought I'd go in with my b-cups and come out with perfect natural looking large breasts that no one would be able to tell were implants and I felt embarassed every time someone would point out my implants to the point where I just knew I had to get them removed, but I was not willing to accept defeat, and in January I got the capsules lowered to make them look more natural. One side looks fairly natural, the other looks unnatural like before and I'm not going to endure another surgery on a quest to have boobs that are too big for my body.

I'm getting them removed by my surgeon. It wasn't surgeon error, it was MY error. I came in expecting to put in 450 hp silicones and have super squishy sexy breasts that looked and felt natural, but I wasn't realistic. I didn't have enough lose skin to swallow the implant like some people's do. Now i'm a bit afraid that i'll have saggy breasts, and I'm not sure what they'll look like after, but anything is better than being a skinny girl with breasts way too big for her body, and being treated badly because of it. My surgeon said they will look very small right after surgery which is what worries me the most because I don't know how long they will take for me to able to look normal enough to resume my normal life, but I'm excited to finally be rid of these things. I can't fit them into bras, I'm like an E cup. Now that I lost weight, I look more ridiculous. I miss my old boobs and wish I never let some [RS bleep] pressure me into surgery.

Will be adding photos soon.

I would bet that since you have only had implants for 2 years and you are very young that your breasts (after several months of healing ) will go back to almost what you were like before. There are lots of pictures examples of women on this site that have had implants a lot longer and things turned out really well. You are very smart for correcting your decision so soon. I got inplants at 19 and regreted it the whole 32 years that I had them ( I recently explanted). Good luck and I wish you the best.

Best of luck to you! Don't beat yourself up, though. We all make decisions that later haunt us but you have matured greatly in the past two years and are now making a decision based on what you want, not somebody else. Good for you!

You're your young enough that skin will shrink back over time without any wrinkles. The implants are not old. I also did mine because my husband made me feel inadequate of shape & size, my nipples are on lower half of breast & droopy looking . Well I kicked my husband out after dealing with his drug & alcohol addictions. I'm 60 now 20 years later post divorce , and now will never do another thing to please a man !!! I plan on explant soon & can't wait. I know mine will be droopy & wrinkled after almost 30 years in my body. The ruined my sensation on my lower half of breast & made sex less enjoyable if a guy pulled too hard, causing pain inside from contracture scars internally. I would anybody not to do it. Also they are cold to touch, not warm & squishy life real boobs should be !!

I meant I would tell anybody NOT to do it if they going to do implants.

My ex was also very into drugs... its always those type who belittle and push women to do things. I hope everything works out for you. Agree with every description you gave of the feel and sensation of the implants.

Don't beat yourself up. What's done is done and you're making the right decision at this stage in your life. Yes, you're breasts won't look pretty immediately after explant, it's the truth BUT they WILL get better over time. Every day gets a little better. In retrospect you haven't had them that long and you're young, you'll most likely get back to where you were pre BA. I am a week and 1 day post explant, just got the stitches removed 2 1/2 hours ago. They still look a little "sad" but I already see improvement from what they looked like right after explant. Patience and time week be your friend aftetwards.
Best of luck to you. You'll do great :)

You know that you need to get them removed and that's the first step the awareness you are light years ahead of me I waited 28 years I am exactly 8 days Post op I did it for all the same reasons you did you know your body like nobody else you have an intuition and wisdom about yourself that is far beyond your years, go with your gut and especially follow your instincts when it comes To guys

Your breasts before augmentation were beautiful. You are young and I'm betting they will return to normal, or close to it. Good luck!

Good luck! I can tell you right now that your boobs are going to bounce right back.. Give it a few weeks after removal and you might even think they look better than before! Mine have been out a little over a month now and I'm sooooo happy! I feel a lot better and I like my boobs and I'm still a 36D! With implants I was a DDD almost a F and before I was a large B small C..

You give me hope :O

You'll be fine! I had implants in for 10 years. I'm 36 now and I had my explant 12 months ago. My breasts have popped back to their pre implant size (32 A) and are now small but lovely and pert and suit my small frame size. This is after pregnancy and breastfeeding 2 children. Don't get too worried about those first few days after explant. Mine looked pretty sad but they gave "fluffed" and changed so much over the last 10 months. Good luck!
August 27, 2015
Thanks! I can't wait for these things to fluff... feels like waiting for implants to fluff all over again, except this time its all natural me.
August 27, 2015
congratulations! you probably avoided many gross health problems down the road by having them removed. my implants have made me sick. it is so not worth it!!
August 27, 2015
Thanks. I was very worried about having to get MRIs since they are so expensive, I was planning on how I was going to have to go about doing that and am relieved I don't have to now. I hope they didn't cause any permanent damage. I read your review, I'm so sorry for what you're going through. You will get through it though. My breast implants also caused me to have a faster heart rate than usual...

you look great :) hope all is well

thank you :)

You look great ! Your skin doesn't seem being streched from the implants. You will heal very quickly ! Take care
August 26, 2015
Thank you. My skin actually is very stretched though if you compare it to the pre-op boobies. I don't mind though because it makes them look bigger and I get more jiggle.

no drains?
October 25, 2015
Nope, i'm not even sure exactly what drains do lol but ive heard bad things about them and asked my surgeon if i was going to need them and he said no
October 25, 2015
Really! Like what kind of bad things :(?
October 25, 2015
Also, what kind of Anastesia did you go under for the removal?:)
October 27, 2015
The drains, drain off blood and fluid that can cause swelling and infections. The fluid build up can prevent proper healing.
