WORTH IT$3,300
Phew, so I have finally decided I want to book my explant for May 2016, and I'm both excited and terrified!
I had my first BA at 18; 280cc silicone cohesive gels under the muscle. I had always felt so self conscious about my tiny 32AA boobs, although I now realise i had barely given them a chance to finish developing at that age. My mum supported my decision, and I went to my family GP. He took one look and said "oh yes, I can see why you'd want them done" Gee, thanks doc!! So that confirmed it. And I got implants, paid for by my mum. But they weren't big enough, I thought. So a year later I replaced them with 400cc. This took me to around an E cup!! I was thrilled for the first few years, and they did give me the confidence boost to approach a hot man in a bar and offer to buy him a drink... 11 years later and hot man and I are about to celebrate our ninth wedding anniversary and we have 2 wonderful children. So, I will never regret having got implants; without them I wouldn't have my lovely family :)
I have grown up a lot now, and have a natural self confidence that isn't based on looks. Having implants seems like an affront to that, and I feel embarrassed to have them. Especially when I think of the example it sets to my 2 young daughters. So they are coming out!! Plus, I would never have them replaced and they have to come out sometime, and the sooner I do it the better the results will be. I'm not expecting good results though, as I have huge implants compared to my natural breast size, and I have breastfed 2 kids, during which time they ballooned to a G cup, then shrank back to a DD!
I have had a consult with a nearby breast surgeon and he was so lovely, didn't once mention the idea of replacing with new implants and was reassuring and encouraging about how my results may look. So I just need to book the date!!!

Well here they are, my assymetrical breasts! My left one bottomed out somewhat which has made it look bigger and my nipple is way too high! The surgeon says he can put in some stitches to help correct the crease in that one. Bit concerned about scars, as they are currently really long and come far into the middle. Hoping for some overhang after explant to hide them!

Hi there, I will be having an explant soon also..i have a few consults booked. I hope to this summer. I'm ready to feel natural again. I think you will have a great result, it's hard to believe you had breast fed. Yay for us getting back to natural. Thank you for sharing your journey. I'll be posting mine up soon.❤️

Hi Meadow03 :) Thanks very much, yeah breastfeeding didn't seem to have much of a negative effect on them. It actually made them look better as they were previously quite high and overly firm. They softened up and got more rounded, which i prefer. I actually really like my non-bottomed-out breast, but oh well. I just want my natural tiny boobs back. I know they won't be the same as they were, but at least they'll be all mine :)
Hope your consults go well and you find a nice supportive surgeon. x

Hi Scorah!
I am really happy to read you. I have the same problem as you and I am thinking to remove them in August. To know there are women feeling the same as me make me feel more determined. I am from Spain, so excuse my English. I am new at the web and I don't like to loose you, to loose your evolución. Please if you want, tell me and I give you my e-mail. Thanks a lot. Gracias _/I\_

Hi solet, thanks for your message. How far along are you with getting your implant removal? Have you been to see any surgeons? I will be sure to keep updating my review as I go along my journey :) x
March 23, 2016
Hi Scorah, I'm also from UK and getting mine removed in May, I have had them in for about 14 years now and went 400cc, I also have high nipples,are you getting a lift done at the same time? Good luck your skin looks great so i think you will have a great result .
March 23, 2016
Hi ana :) Wow, that's a coincidence, we are almost in the exact same situation!
I decided against a lift, as I don't want the extra scars. And I don't mind if they are droopy or saggy. Just hoping they don't cave in too much! My skin isn't too bad. Hard to see in the photo but I have a fair few stretch marks on the underneath so that may look odd after explant. It's sort of exciting not knowing how they're going to look! Haha!
Are you having a lift done?

Yes we don't think of the possible complications getting them in do we, just hopeful results... ;) [RS bleep] I'm a bit lopsided too ...

My aunt is a doctor and she tried to warn me all those years ago; she'd seen some horrors where implants had gone really wrong :/ But I was 18 and didn't want to hear it!
I hadn't actually realised how assymetrical they were until I took these photos! They don't look as bad in the mirror for some reason!

Hi scorah!
Excuse the delate, I didn't see your replay. I wanted to removed my implants after my second surgery, I had to give the breastfeed up, it was like and attempt to my own body. Now I don't like at all unnatural breasts, so I try to save money and trying to convinced myself that I will be ok although I get flat, at least I'll live peacefully.
Thanks a lot for share your experience, it help me a lot _/I\_

On 23rd of May I will be having my explant!
My surgeon only does explants under general anaesthetic, so I'll be going right under. After my previous surgeries I was crazy after waking up, talking nonsense, swearing a lot... Oh dear! I will have to warn the nurses beforehand, haha!
So so excited, can't wait to be teeny weeny again. Planning to use the time leading up to it to get into shape and lose just a little weight off my lower body and tone it up. My extreme pear shape was one of the reasons I wanted implants. I love my big bottom now and have embraced my natural body shape, but it would still be nice to be a bit more balanced out so a little bit of trimming down would be good. Hopefully having this goal will help the time until surgery pass more quickly!

Yay! I plan on toning up too, before explant. I am happy for you that you found a surgeon you like.
March 26, 2016
Getting in shape is a good way to pass the time I reckon :) Plus, who knows, it might make recovery a bit easier. Want to go for a 5k run today, but the wind and rain is putting me off, lol!

I can relate to body shape, but my hubby loves my butt! Lol... Go figure, I paid so much and tortured myself to get these in, after an awful marriage I thought I wouldn't be attractive unless I did this, ...only to marry someone who cried when I told him and who prefers small ones and a round bum! Lol ... Wish I'd just accepted myself! ... ;) [RS bleep]

But don't worry, you have drawn conclusions from my post about my husband that aren't accurate. He is he sweetest person you could meet. We are incredibly close and in love and my breast size doesn't matter to him at all, he has been totally supportive of my decision. The only thing he was worried about was the fact I was having a surgery, he was so scared. He held it together until the day before at which point he broke down and cried. He said yesterday when i asked him if he was ok with my new saggy explanted boobs that it just isn't even an issue and as long as I am happy that's all that matters, and he's just so relieved I got through the surgery alive! (Drama queen!)
When we met, all I meant was that I had the confidence boost to be able to approach and ask out a guy that I found attractive, which I couldn't previously have done :)
As for my mum. Bless her, she is also so sweet, but lacking in confidence herself too. At the time I got the implants she had just lost a close loved one, was suffering from depression and in a bad place. I think she thought she was doing the right thing by giving me what I wanted. It was an unfortunate situation I suppose; I was too young to make a sensible decision and the people around me at the time weren't currently able to help me see sense.
But now I have explanted, my mum, husband and kids are being so supportive and I feel very loved and happy :)
But thank you again for your concern. I think the way I worded my post painted a slightly unfair picture of my husband and mum! Oops! x
Thank you for the reply. I am relieved to hear that your husband is a decent and sweet man, unconcerned about your breast size and appearance. I am even happier to hear you are in love, and thankfully I am in the same type of relationship. Your mum sounds like a good person as well. I think most of us made decisions earlier on in life that we would not make today - part of our growth and evolution as human beings. Thank you for further explaining your situation...I am so happy for you! ~Factor70
