I had 325cc silicone gel implants in 2007. I liked how natural they looked but really missed small breasts. I felt they made me look heavier in pictures and never felt like a part of my body.
I had them removed September 2011 under local anesthesia and it was quick and painless. They gave me valium and it was over quickly.
I researched many doctors because my doctor had retired. Dr. Rotatori came highly reccomended from other doctors as the best.

Hi Back2Natural
I am going to have my implants removed too for exactly the same reasons as you. I worry about how I'll look after but having seen your photos and how great you look I am feeling much more positive. Like you I have silicon (310cc) and had mine done in 2006. I have found a surgeon I like and he says there is no need to remove the capsules seeing as I haven't had any problem with CC. How was the recovery - did you need to take much time off work? Thanks very much for posting your photos :)

I had the procedure on Thursday and returned to work Monday. The recovery is really easy, nothing like having them put in. I'm so glad my story helped, that is exactly why I posted it. I'm so glad I did it and I feel like myself again. Good luck!

That's very quick recovery and good to know thanks! Surgeon said he will leave capsules in and do as day case. I'm in my 40's so my skin may not shrink back so well but it'll be so nice to be me again. Thanks again and I wish you a very happy healing :)

Backtonatural,
not sure if you are still on this site but wanted to let you know you look amazing. I am having my saline implants removed in January and can only hope I look as good as you do after explantation. However, i've had mine since 1994 and have had two children during that time. Oh well, hoping for the best. Glad to hear yours went well under local as i am havng it done the same way.

I would like my implants removed too. Had them for two years and dont like them as you described. Did you find your breast sag more following surgery?

I Think they look better now then they did before implants. It has only been 3 weeks so I'm still healing. Everyone is different though.

Your results are very good. Were your implants under or over the muscle? What is your breast size now?

Thank you so much for posting Back2Natural. Experiencing terrible capsular contracture on left side. Can no longer sit straight. Always moving my side as I cannot get comfortable because it is so tight. Had implants, then did re-do as a result of capsular contracture before. This time just want them out. Will contact Dr. Rotatori. It seems much less to have them removed. Thank you so very much!
You look lovely! Really no different than before as far as I can tell from the pics. And considering you had two surgeries, that's great! Thank you for posting your story and photos here on RealSelf.
