I can't believe I didn't find this site sooner.....

I can't believe I didn't find this site sooner...it is completely making me feel better about explanting. I felt I was stud with them because they'd look awful after but after reading the reviews and seeing pictures on here, it is making me feel a lot better.
I regretted my decision within a year of getting them. I did not want them to be noticeable, but they convinced me to go a bit bigger (I can't believe how many people have mentioned this!! They really need to stop!). I had just lost a bunch of weight and was thinner than ever, a 34 or 36A. So of course people noticed them, which was the last thing I wanted.
I always felt my broad shoulders made my small breasts even smaller. Wish I never did it in the first place. Luckily I've never had problems except the last couple years I've noticed my left is a little more firm than my right and it doesn't feel good when my kids lay on that side of me.
Now, after 2 kids, breastfed both, and some weight gain I can't wait to get these things out, get back my little boobies and feel healthy! Hoping mine turn out as good as most of what I've seen on here.
My appt is Dec.5 with PS. Funny thing is, since I've had them done, I have a different job now where I work in a lot of OR's and know all the staff...so not sure how I'll handle everyone at work possibly knowing I'm doing this or that I even did it in the first place.
Has anyone had anyone question them after, being (of course) obvious all of a sudden smaller in the chest and how have you dealt with that?
Thanks for this site, for your stories and encouragement! I don't have pics now but I'll post soon.

Hi, sorry!! Just noticed this comment!
I would wait & see, changes can take place for up to 6mos.

I wouldn't say anything to pp at work, if you were like me you wore clothing that was covering them and same with when you come back to work, took a little time for r&r if you can, on day 6 po (yesterday), I overdid it at work and had (have) a sharp pain in the left side, icing it and so no one at your work needs to know your personal biz. Happy healing!

No, totally! Plus I work in the OR so wear 'pj's' all day BUT I work in the OR so know everyone :0
Thx!!

Sad to see so many people getting implants
satfNovember 26, 2016
I'm surprised to see how many people are getting breast implants. I can't write anything negative on their reviews but wish I could tell them not to. Especially when they look so nice pre-op.
I wish I could tell them it's not a one-time deal. And I haven't even had any major problems, just have been through the 'I want bigger boobs' phase.
I regretted mine within a year and it's been almost 12.
What I will say is that you're not stuck with them forever as I thought.
Seeing all these explant pictures is awesome and what's made me realize I don't have to keep them or continue 'up-grading'.
I thought I did my research prior and even read some 'don't do it' stories but ignored them cause I wanted them so bad.
Some of you getting implants, your boobs are beautiful the way they are!!
Still waiting for my consult!

Amen. It's kind of like trying to tell your children not to do something and instead learn through your mistakes. Sometimes they have to live it for themselves to realize the truth about something. All of these young beautiful small breasted women getting 700 cc's in just make me feel sad. I instantly regretted my decision 16 years ago and have had three surgeries since. It most definitely is not a one operation deal. I have 12 year old silicone that I am just completely over. Finally having my explant in May and am nervous but excited.
November 26, 2016
Mine are almost 12 yr old silicone as well! I'm hoping I can get in sooner, even willing to pay at the private center and would like local. I know too many people in the public OR's now.
Appt is a week from Monday for consult. I just want them out ASAP now that I've made the decision, cannot wait!

Your consultation date is my surgery date! Once I made my mind up to explant I felt the day couldn't get here soon enough and now I'm a week away! Every time I shower and feel my implants moving around it solidifies my decision to have them out. I'm ready for my body to be free of foreign objects again!!!

My doctor will only take them out under GA because silicone requires a bigger incision. I don't really mind either way
December 6, 2016
How was ur day?? Hope ur feeling alright. I had my appt & my PS prefers ga...so booked for Feb.23!
February 24, 2017
Hi! How are you? Just wondering how your healing went? I had my procedure today, under GA.
February 24, 2017
Had mine out today & feeling great!
Can't believe how fast the day came! Good luck in May!!
I'm going to keep updating now that mine are out.
Looking forward to seeing progress!

I agree but nothing anyone can say to stop them . Kind of like a drug addict you have to be there and tell them no. Maybe take their money away ?
November 3, 2017
I thought the exact same. I wish we could warn them w/o sounding like we're preaching.

I am getting mine removed this May and I seriously just told my husband the same thing lol.
I hope you are feeling great!
September 25, 2017
I just explanted. How long after your surgery, were you able to comfortably lay face down and get a massage?
January 12, 2018
I'm so sorry! I just noticed this! I think around 2 months to lay flat & I went for a massage by 3 months!
