I was a A cup 20 yrs ago prior to implants. With implants I became a C then after having children and gaining some weight my breast size became a huge D.
2 yrs ago my left breast became firm and had a burning sensation. Went to the doctor said everything was fine. I think that's when my implant ruptured. Then what made me look further into it was I found lumps under my armpit and thought it was cancer thank god it was not. It was silicone leaking from a ruptured implant.
I will removing my implants today after 20yrs.
The Doctor is removing the capsule not stiching my muscle in place and is not removing my lymph nodes will have drains.
I am nervous because I was so small Prior to implants. I have health issues. Tired all the time no energy, weight gain, thyroid issues, autoimmune issues. I have beed living a holistic lifestyle eating healthy mostly organic foods nothing artificial for past 8ys. I am removing implants with no lift and waiting 6 months to heal to if I feel healthier with more energy. Would like to see how different it feels with nothing artificial in my body.
I wanted a lift at the same time but I am so scared of the scars so I will wait on that. If my breast look terrible I will most likely do fat transfer and a donut lift after 6months. With seeing all the before and after pictures on this site gave me the confidence to do this!
I will upload before and after soon.

Sending good thoughts your way. I am in the same situation as you, however, I do not have a ruptured implant. I have had my implants in for 26 years and they are over the muscle. I was an A then a C after implant surgery. After being pregnant, aging, menopause, my breasts are a DD plus. I am going to get an explant, too. I am just trying to find the courage to do it. This site has really helped me. I think it was wonderful that your plastic surgeon took a "wedge" out at the bottom so your breasts would have a chance to heal well and look as good as possible. Please follow your doctor's post-op instructions carefully. I am really happy for you. Remember, if you have been following this site, you know it takes a little while for things to heal and fluff out. Please post pictures when you are feeling better. Thank you for adding to this site. I think it is so important for women to support other women.

Can you tell me if your symptoms went away after having them removed? I too am suffering from horrible breast implant illness like symptoms and autoimmune diseases. Also can you tell me the cost for removing them along with the capsules?

I had my explant last Thursday. This is their first time in 20 years that I am actually natural. I like that part. However, I also had a cancerous tumor behind my right implant. I have drains in each side. These drains hurt SO bad. I get them out this Friday. Now, I have developed such nausea. Don't know if it is from the antibiotics or just that everything hurts. Today now it is starting to really hurt where she removed the tumor. Guess that had to cut away a lot of tissue and now I have quite the indent. There. I am happy about it all but would live the pain and nausea to go away.

So happy for you! You look really good and only after 5 days! Take it easy and try not to overdue it.

How are you feeling now. How long were your drains in? What do your breast look like? I'm worried I will be shocked and depressed. Are you feeling better, less tiredness etc?
I was told the lymph nodes would go down over time... I'm not so sure.
Thanks Kim x
