Hi there, like many others here I unfortunately made the mistake of having an augmentation. I was 24 and had lovely (albeit small) A cups and went up to a size C/D with Harley Medical Group (another mistake made but that's another story!). Although they look great, they don't impact my life in any positive way so I feel that they are completely unnecessary. I am looking forward to hugging people without feeling awkward, lying on my tummy in bed for the first time in 5 years (bliss) and not feeling frumpy in certain clothing. All things that of course you never consider when having them put in! But hey, lesson learnt... even if it was a very expensive one. I am booked in at the Westbourne Centre in B'ham with Dr Hiroshi Nishikawa in just less than 2 weeks! I am very nervous that they'll look saggy afterwards, but I look at your photos and am inspired and keeping everything crossed that they'll be OK. I will try and upload some photos of my journey and will of course review how everything goes!
Thanks to all in this community who have already supported me with your own stories without even knowing.

Hi, I've just had mine removed under local, no sedation at the Westbourne Centre by Mr Nishikawa. Don't worry about them looking saggy. I only had mine out 5 days ago and they're already looking so much better. You will be so happy once those heavy implants are out. I was elated. Happy healing xx

That's great to hear, thank you for sharing. Local wasn't mentioned at my consultation, did you request or was it offered? Do you mind me asking how much you paid? Thank you x

I was thinking of having mine explanted using local. How was your experience? What kind of implants? Mine are saline, over the muscle and no CC so the PS said local would be quick but scared.

I requested local but I researched the clinic and knew they already did procedures under local anaesthetic. I paid £2100.

I had submuscular 285cc silicone implants. There's really no need to be worried. The only uncomfortable but is actually having the local anaesthetic injections. Once they're done I couldn't feel a thing, just lots of tugging. I didn't fell anything when the implants were pulled out, just relief!!! X

I bet! What a relief it must be! I'm paying the same, well £2200 I think. What an expensive mistake!

Hi, thanks for sharing your story. You've done the hardest bit, making the decision to explant. It is a very anxious time but I don't think you'll have any regrets. And don't forget, you do have options down the line, fat transfer, re-implant. That's what I kept telling myself although I've had a few emotional wobbles, I'm pleased with my results and I am just focusing on accepting what I've got. Just embrace it! You'll be fine, I'm sure. This site will help you in your journey. Keep in touch X

I removed mine 3 weeks ago and had a lift done-they look amazing-Perky little B's. Ihad such a hard time-rupture and Capsular contractions both side. I feel so free. Happy healing, it was so worth it for me.

EEK! I keep thinking 'Oh, this is my last Monday with my implants..!' etc etc. I spoke to the Nurse on Friday and she explained a few bits. Apparently I won't need to wear a bra for a week as the dressings will act as support. In preparation I have contacted Jo Thornton who I cannot recommend enough to help with my transition of breast size. I've sadly read a few negative comments on here - 'embrace your shape!' / 'why would you want to wear padded bras after your implant' etc etc, but I think that's unfair. I don't want family/friends/colleagues to notice a drastic change and have 101 questions about a mistake I made years ago. So hopefully Jo will help me with a suitable 'pad' to slip in the sports bra. I will add a photo later - a pre-op if you will! I think they look good, nice even. But hopefully they'll look even nicer after Friday. Again, thanks for all the support on here. It really helps x
