I am 25. I had my breasts augmented in 2009, almost 6 years ago. I was about a 32A and I am now 32C. I have not had children and no significant change in weight. I want to remove them.

I got them because I was young, stupid. The only other person at the same was my ex-fb who supported my decision. His mom also had implants...talk about an Oedipus complex. I'm at a point in my life where I can accept and love my body...I'm in a much better and loving relationship. Funny thing is I think my current boyfriend would have loved my small breasts. He isn't a big-boob man. It's not the reason why I want to remove them. I've regretted having them done since the day after surgery. It's just ironic that my bf who I believe is the love of my life would have loved me the way I was born...glad I didn't make any other changes that would have made it difficult for him to recognize me (I believe in soul mates). I've met with 2 PS. One spent less than five minutes talking to me. He said he could remove them via transumbilical. He seems very experienced. The other PS said he couldn't. However, he was caring and talked to me for about 2 hours. I would get them under the breasts or armpits if I chose him. His price is much more reasonable also.

I'm scared of what they will look loke afterward. But I know that the longer I wait, the smaller the chance I have of them bouncing back. I can't wait to get them out of me...

It's great to hear you can love and accept your body as it is. I think every woman on here was or is scared of how she will look, and I think that's ok. You are very young and still very perky so I can't imagine you won't bounce back quickly! I had my BA done through the bellybutton, and even though this is a different procedure I wouldn't recommend it. I was very sore in my torso for a while after my surgery, and I now have two "ridges" raising off my torso caused by the tubes having to travel from my navel to my chest. It sounds appealing to not have scars, but I would take them over the bellybutton any day. Plus I'm sure your current BF, who sounds great, will love you with them no matter what. Not to mention, my current PS told me that they can't be as accurate because they're working so far from the chest, and that's why my BA turned out lopsided, so I'd worry about the doc not taking them out as easily as if they're working right under the breast. Anyways, I think you should chose what you truly want but that's my two cents. :) I hope you find a good doctor who is supportive and understanding. Good luck to you!

Thank you for your encouragement. I was told by one of the PS that my breasts looked like they were already sagging with the implants, which worried me. I never thought they were saggy. At the consultation, he pushed them up and told me "this is how they're supposed to look". Maybe his aesthetic is different. Both the PS were surprised at my wanting to remove them. "You're going to be very flat afterward. You're not going to be happy," were the general responses. I guess they didn't understand that I'd be happy with my small breasts. One of the PS even said, "Well if it's any consolation, down the road after you've had children, etc. you'd need another surgery anyway. Like a lift." Not sure why he even brought this up.....Plastic surgeons can be a strange breed of people. Maybe they're trying to sculpt the perfect human being. It makes sense I suppose, if I were a PS, I'd have to believe so to go to work every day.

Including my first PS who did my BA, I've seen 4 PS's in my life and 3 of them told me the same things. That I'd be unhappy, I will regret it, blah blah. I even had one very arrogant doctor tell me I'd look "disgusting" if I got them out. After that consult and a lot of crying, I realized that the reasons I got my BA in the first place was because of my body image issues and listening to other people tell me I wasn't good enough. I decided to listen to myself, and myself told me that guy was a idiot! I found a PS who understood my reasons for wanting them out. Even though she mentioned another BA surgery instead, she didn't push it. Once I told her I wanted them out for sure, she was very supportive. Find someone who you mesh with and who understands why you want them out, or you might end up getting talked into keeping them or having another surgery. Of course, if that's what you want then go for it, but if deep down you know you don't want the implants anymore don't let anyone talk you into keeping them.

I had 5 PS consults...the one I'm going with spent the least amount of time with me but he's come highly recommended. It's possible that the docs that are hungriest for business are willing to spend more time to win yours but it sounds like that guy developed a crush on you lol! I do admire that he knows his limitations though! Perhaps a few more consults would give you clarity.

I have another consultation this Thursday. This PS is going to charge for the consultation, but if I decide to go with him, the money goes toward the procedure. Not sure how I feel about that. He also has many good reviews. The one that spent a lot of time with me is younger and I couldn't find many reviews of his work online.

I understand your decision its understandable but to be honest you got such a nice result. Are they silicone because maybe u would like silicone better.
March 24, 2015
Thanks Veronica. I had saline since I was under 21. I understand if others want breast implants. I've enjoyed them for many years. I just want them removed now and hopefully not have to have anymore procedure down the road.

Have a speedy recovery. Best wishes!!

Hi! I got an explant as well.. check out my profile "too big for petite woman" I had 330's in for 7 months and had them taken out. I know its a scary process, but honestly so worth it. Even though I had mine out asap, my doctor (who I really trusted, a different doc than the one who put them in) told me that being young and healthy will have a great impact on how your boobs regain their shape. It's amazing what skin can do! Im 23, and could not be happier they are gone. I too, did it for stupid reasons. Being young, feeling insecure about my small boobs. My boyfriend was so excited for me to get them out, and says he is much more turned on by the smaller ones. Please write me if you are ever feeling nervous or have questions! It's much more stressful getting implants out, and I've been there so I know what your going through! Good luck! xx

Thank you dear! I can't wait to get them out. I know no matter what I'll feel lighter and more me.

Why do you want them removed? I'm 20 years old and really insecure about them and think they'd make a huge difference but I'm just curious what made you not want them anymore? Maybe it'll help me in deciding whether or not I for sure want them!!! Thanks :)

Hi Allison, I got them when I was your age. I was insecure about my body too. But insecurity about body image cannot be fixed by surgery, I've learned. Confidence can only obtained through acceptance and love of what you already have. Small breasts are beautiful. Big breasts definitely attract a lot of attention. For me, those types of attention have not for one minute been worth my while. I then developed new insecurities: do men only find me attractive because of my breasts? Then whenever I became intimate with someone, I'd be afraid to be found out. Among friends, it's also a question that will be brought up. Someone will always ask you, "Are they real?" Some people don't have a problem with this, but I'm a private person and this inquiry has always made me uncomfortable and even more unsure of myself. My results are considered good by most, but whenever I lay on my back, they feel and look fake because my skin is stretched back. I'm more comfortable in a bra than naked. I think you should do what makes you most happy. But take time to appreciate your body as it is before making a drastic change. You might find that you won't need that change. Then you can skip the step I'm going through now and the fear that my breasts won't ever return to how they were. Wait a few years. Maybe till you're 25 or older and see if you still need them. I wish so much I'd never done this to myself.

Also, the feeling that there're foreign objects inside you is terrible......They don't belong in my body. If you feel you definitely want them, maybe look in fat grafting? That has its own risks, of course, but at least you won't be dealing with balloons inside your chest.

Jane 5 hank you so much for your thoughts and feelings. I completely understand where you are coming from with this. I myself am contemplating BA but I am happy with my body for the most part. Just wish for more size although my biggest fear is having foreign objects in my body that I will have a constant reminder of that I may regret! I have book looking into fat grafting extensively but unfortunately with my small frame, tight small boobs, and musculature it is not looking good for me in that department. I still have a year or so to go so taking my time.

Thank you! I spoke a little too soon. My surgery date is moved to the 14. It's still quite close though. I'm feeling happier now that I've finally put my foot down.

Hi, hope everything goes well in ur surgery .. can a i know where y have ur first incision, BA?
March 24, 2015
How many cc's do you have?? Any loss of sensibility after BA ?? I have 325cc true areola over the muscle also thinking about removing my implants
March 25, 2015
Hi! I got saline through transumbilical. I don't remember how many CC but I went from about a 32A to a 32C. I definitely lost sensitivity of my nipples after BA. They never fully returned.
March 24, 2015
They are pretty, but yes they will bounce back because you are young just wear that tight bra for 3 months. It almost like having them engorge after childbirth 4 sizes up but they go back to pre-pregnancy shape. It goes back if you don't nurse and wear a tight compression bra.
