I have my first consult May 8th.
I'm still undecided. In my head I'm doing this, and I'm doing this tomorrow... But then I'm scared of so many things. I don't want pain, I don't want to be put under, what will I look like after, will my husband still find me attractive, will I feel better about myself, most importantly will my health improve.
I was 18 years old, I saved my own money and went and got my implants. I was certain this is what I wanted. My whole life up to that moment I was teased for being so skinny, I would hide myself in big baggy clothes, wished I looked like anyone else but myself. The people who would talk with me and be nice would ask "wow, do you diet? you are so skinny?" and honestly that hurt just as bad as people telling me I looked like a bag of sticks. I'm 5'7" and 105 lbs, I do not diet, I do not exercise. It is me and this is how I am. I thought for some reason if I had implants then maybe I would fit in.
The past 14 years I've gone through a number of unexplained pains, body aches. I am now married to my everything, he's been with me before I even had implants and says he loved me before them and will love me after they are gone. I have two beautiful girls and want to be a role model for them. As women we shouldn't need boobs to feel secure about ourselves. This site has really opened up my eyes. Reading everyone stories and seeing how beautiful we really are without fake plastic inside us. It really is inspiring.
I am hoping by writing I can do the same. Also it looks like I will be needing general support through this chapter in my life.

Hi there! I was super excited about my explant and was still nervous about it. I think that's really normal. I haven't regretted my decision for even a tiny second! Sounds like you have awesome irl support and by reaching out here you will have even more support:) hope today goes well but if it doesn't remember you can always consult with more Dr's. You won't ever regret it:)

Wow. You look amazing!!!
Thank you so much! I'm leaving on a few hours. I needed this.
I'm in Tampa, near USF. If my doctor doesn't work out then maybe you can share yours? St Pete isn't to far.

I actually live near the villages (about 30min from ocala), I drove two hours each way to see Dr Elias :) she also did an explant and lift on sandandpalms. It was her results that lead me to Dr Elias! I would definitely give her office a call. She was so positive about my explant. As she marked me up right before my surgery she told me it was going to change my life and it absolutely has. You are going to do great today! This is a positive, awesome thing you are doing for yourself! And thank you so much! Even with the scars I'm sooooooooooo much happier with my implants out!

I was the same way in high school. I remember being called a "walking toothpick". I couldn't imagine how being teased for being overweight could've been much worse. It hurts no matter what people are teasing you about. I've found that breasts tend to grow some as we age. Now at 45 I have a decent rack. Not amazing, but pretty good. Yours might fill out like that over time, too.
I'm sorry you're having a hard time with all of this. I can only imagine how difficult of a decision it is. Health is more important than looks, though, I think. Chances are you'll find it easier and easier to gain weight over time and your husband will be happy you're feeling good.
Please keep us in the loop!

I am also in Tampa, FL and desperately want these implants out after 15 miserable years! Any advice on MDs in the area? I would especially like them deflated first with removal later under local anesthesia and having a hard time finding a willing local MD.

Dr. Paul Smith.
He was amazing. I only went for a consult but it went very well and I got a great vibe from him.
