Just had a breast augmentation done on August 23rd and it was the bigest mistake of my life. I regret it so much. I quit trying to make sense of it and just looking forward to the explant. My husband told me before i had the ba that he thinks im perfect the way i am but he wanted me to be happy also and that he will always be attracted to me no matter what.... he is the best husband in the world! Why did I do this when I wasent really that un-satisied with thecway I look??? And my husband was happy also??? The best thing about all this craziness is that he supports me no matter what I do. Its only been around 12 days of having these implants in and I feel sooo fake.... just not myself. One thing I learned is that I dont need to change anything about myself. Im perfect the way I am. Dont know why I ever thought different. But thats okay cause im going to hold my head up high and accept that I had a ba and get them removed and move on. Dr.Mastafa is an awesome doctor, he did a wonderful job on my implants and was very informative but these implants just weren't for me... too bad I didn't realize that before I had it done! He also said in 31 years he has never had a patient change their mind so soon... lol. So he is going to explant free of charge!

Playing the waiting game today.. im a worryy wart. Mastafa says its pretty much painless and very quick to have them removed, just some incision discomfort. Nothing like the pain from the ba, thank god. That was un-bearable for a couple of days. Im sooo nervous and excited!! But I cant wait to get back to my all natural self again!

Omg ur story is just like mine...do you have any pictures you can share...also where is your incision and did your ps tell u if he was going to remove the capsule...I got my surgery Aug 24 n I hate them, I feel depressed and was having bad thoughts the best thing to do is for me to take them out, no one is supporting me in this decision though :(

I was depressed too. Im really sorry thst no one is supporting you through all of this... that would make it so much harder but I would still get them rdmoved since your not happy. Breast implants aren't for everyone I just wish some people would understand that. At first my doctor told me to wait a month to see if I would change my mind but I told him no im 100% sure that I dont want them.. did you know that there is a thing called boobie blues? He thought I may just have to adjust to my new body but I feel so much better since I scheduled the explant, im actually getting out of bed and happy now. My incision is below my breast and he told me the capsule doesn't form for atleast three weeks so I don't have to worry about that... thank god!! The removal will be quick and simple and almost painless... so he says. Its supposed to take about 30 min and ill be awake so I hope it goes as good as he thinks it will. I just get sooo nervous about the explant cause the ba was so painfull afterwards. I was miserable physically and mentally.

I'm so thankful I found ur story, I might just end up taking them out elsewhere my ps wants me to wait 3mths I'm not sure if its because my incision is on the areola, u are so right they are not for everyone, I thought I really wanted them but I fel so fake n heavy I hate even looking at them I can't lift my arms as well, I can't do anything :( I'm so sad, I just wish I never got them in the first place n listened to my bf, I will try to post my story as well later on

When is your explant date? My surgeon also removed free of charge but still made me wait 2.5 months after my augmentation. It was HELL. I hate I did it and even though I am explanted I still have moments if panic and anxiety that I ever did this to begin with. Please hang in there.

Im getting them removed in 2 days and im excited and nervous. Fear of pain I guess. It was soooo painful after the ba. Im just ready to go through it anyway just to get it over with so I can start getting on with my life. I was so grateful when n I found this website cause I was so horribly depressed and now I feel confident that I can get past all of this

How did you look afterwards? Do you look pretty much the same as you did before? Doctor told me I would go back to my pre-augmented size. Just wondering if you did

Thali11 I would ask him why he wants you to wait cause my doctor says they usually only ask their patients to wait cause they think they'll change their mind. Ny doc really wanted to wait to see if I would change mine but I told him there is no way and called his office a couple of timed too.

My ps surgeon said because my body just went through a trauma and its to early to reoperate, but through much research other ps say the opposite, can you maybe ask your ps and I'm almost ready to fly to tx to get mine out with ur ps, do you know approx. How much he charges for explantation? Thank you

Thanks for starting your story with us here on RealSelf! Sorry you found out the hard way that implants aren't for you, but some life lessons are time consuming and expensive. Now you know and it sounds like you have a wonderful, supportive husband. I'll be thinking of you on Wednesday!
