2 month update
WORTH IT$2,400
Implant free for 2 months now and absolutely loving life! I would like to thank you all for your comments, and of course for sharing your stories and photos on here. This forum helped me so much, and I hope I can help you ladies out there who are debating removing your implants. Sometimes people ask me how I feel about all the money spent on augmentation and removal - and the only way I can put it is that it's an expensive lesson learned. If I could turn back time I obviously wouldn't have done it, and I would have saved myself thousands of dollars and a couple of scars. But I have learned to love my body and my natural breasts, and that is priceless. I have to say that I am very lucky to have a boyfriend who supported me every step of the way - especially when I thought about backing out of surgery. Finally, I am so thankful I found Dr. Rothfield, who never once tried to talk me into smaller implants. He knew what I wanted from the beginning and we stuck to the plan. For those of you who are thinking about implant removal, I hope my results are encouraging. And as I mentioned in my previous posts, take your time and find a doctor that is willing to work with you. If a doctor doesn't want to remove your implants, find another one. Get opinions from different doctors, and look them up online for reviews. Happy healing to those of you who are currently recovering, and good luck to those who are in the researching process! xoxoxo

One week update
It's officially been a week since my surgery, so I figured I'd post some more photos of my progress. I haven't noticed much change, but Dr says to give it a month or two to really know what they're going to look like. I have to say that I love how they feel, even though they are a lot smaller now. I read on a few different sites that massaging the breasts makes them grow. Anyone know if this is true? Happy Friday to you all, and have a fabulous weekend! :)

So great to read all these reviews. This really helps those us who are fighting our emotional roller coaster on wether to have them out or replaced with smaller ones. If, I can share my deal breaker on my decision to have them out was thinking of the painful future mammograms and risking my health to look good. There shouldn't be that kind of compromise in our lives ladies. Good luck. I will post my journey as well. I'm scheduled for September.

Agreed! Because my implants were silicone, I had to get MRI's every couple years and they are not cheap! The whole thing was just not worth it. Most men choose smaller, natural breasts over large fake breasts anyway. Did you already have surgery? Keep me posted! xo

Wow you look great. I too want to remove my implants. Not sure I will look as good as you though. I believe I may need a lift since mine are no longer that perky! If that's the case I don't know if I would want the scars or just replace them with smaller implants. But I would really like to go back to natural. Miss the feeling!

Hi there, thank you! Have you gone to any consultations? I thought I was going to need a lift, due to the size of my implants and how long I had them, but surprisingly I didn't. Good luck to you, and keep me posted on your decision! xo

Stitches haven't come out yet but I'm feeling great. No pain or fatigue. I was very tired the first couple of days though. I forgot to mention in my first post that my size before BA was 34B, and after implant removal I'm looking more like an A. Hoping they will "fluff" their way into a B. But so far I'm happy with my results.

You do look great...I am also thinking about having mine removed. I am very concerned about how they will look. You are much younger which is a plus...I will look at your physicians site as I am not finding my on before and after explant photo's. Thanks for the pics and good luck.

Thank you. I know, it's a very hard decision. I thought about it long and hard for a few years before actually going through with it. Best of luck to you!

You look fabulous without implants! You must be thrilled and be feeling so good.
Thanks so much for sharing. I agree that finding a supportive doctor is key.

Thanks Angie! I am feeling great, natural breasts feel so much better than silicone bags :) haha... Still getting used to the new size as I've lost 3 cups, but overall I'm very happy!
