Seven months later...
WORTH IT$4,000
Has it been 7 months already? Time flies when you're having fun! It's been great. Best decision I've ever made. Running is sooooo much easier without the silicone ladies. And, I lost 22 pounds in those seven months, something that seemed impossible all those years. Man, do I feel healthy ! My boobs almost look normal. My nippels have slightly collapsed, and they are not evenly round. My left boob is still dented. Also there is some loose skin underneath my armpits. Well, I did not expect it to be perfect, but it sure feels that way ????.
Good luck to all you ladies , wanting to get rid of those silicone plagues. For me, it was all worth it, one hundred percent!
I will not be back here, life goes on.

No one notices

Forgot to tell. Went to the gym friday. Only two people knew about my implants and my explant operation. I was a little nervous about undressing myself in front of all the woman I know. We always tend to blabber on when we are naked and often hit the sauna. Friday wasn't any different. And guess what... NO ONE NOTICED. Not even a strange look. That's how we view others. We put our own body under a magnifying glass, and we will find every so called "flaw", but hardly anyone else notices.

you look wonderful...are your symptoms improving...i was thinking about implants for a long time (the back of my mind still is) but i have seen so many posts with women complaining of the same as you were..it also amazes me that dr.'s will state that it cannot be the implants when there is such a thing as "gel bleed"...i can't imagine those toxins would not harm the body..best of luck to you...you look wonderful

Hi Gena,
Google dr. Susan E. Kolb. Watch her interview on YouTube ore, even better, read her book " The Naked Truth about breast implants. I decided I NEVER wanted implants after that.
If you want bigger breasts, inform your self about fat transfer.
My health problems did not get better yet, except for the joint pains, they faded immidiatly. Good luck on your decision!

I also live in the Netherlands and would like to have my 33 years old implant removed. The insurance has refused to pay even if I was sent to the hospital by the family doctor who also wrote a letter to the insurance. The reason is there is no leakage outside (from ultra sound). We are still trying to pursue with the insurance. I have been joint pains, fatigue etc. I am 67 and the implant was put in 33 years ago in the U.S. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

The health problems due to implants are still not ac knowledge by doctors and insurance. The only way the insurance is gonna pay is when you have stage 4 capsular contracture . Sterkte!

I have stage 4 capsular contracture. The hospital informed the insurance but they still said that they will pay only if there is a leakage. You are very kind. Things are difficult no matter how I tried, I am still worried and fearful. I am also 67. So thanks and best wishes for a complete recovery.

Now this. Is good info to know. We always think so much of what others think of us and our body. But it seems no one else does as they are too busy wondering what we think of them!

Exactly! I knew it in theory, but to realy experience it in real life is a great eye opener!

Three weeks already. Time flies!
My breasts are still very tender, and there's no feeling in the bottem of my breasts. My right breast lost that feeling after my breast augmentation, the left apparently after the explant. Well... at least they are equal now :-/
My breasts are not totaly the same size, and the dent is still there, but there is no dent in my self esteem because of that ;-)
Healing is going great. The docter used my old incisions, but used a much smaller space than my old PS. I massage my breasts and the scars underneath every day.
I even had my first two runs already! Friday and today. Breasts taped in like a mummy, so breathing was a bit difficult, but I am finaly of the couch! I bought a very cute dress with a low V-neck for the up comming holiday, which I never would have bought with implants. It looks cute. Life is great.
Good luck, and to all of you who are thinking of removing your implants, go for it!!!
