I removed my breast implants and don't regret it! (1)

    Hello,

    Me explant is scheduled for August 29th. I am terrified about what they will look like after explant. I had them done over eighteen years ago and have never felt like myself. I have 350 cc and 365 cc implants. My doctor said I will probably be a B cup once the implants are removed. I literally just had a good cry about this whole situation. I am extremely nervous and have no idea what my boobs will look like. I’m trying to prepare myself mentally, but how do you prepare for what you can’t see?

      The way I prepared was by saying positive affirmations about the results I wanted from my healing process. I claimed that God will restore my image to its original design and that it will bless my husband and myself. Other than that you can beef up your nutrition so you go into the surgery strong with good protein reserves.

    I have had implants for a little more than 2 years and I have always had pain. After picking up grandbabies, mowing grass, cleaning house, holding my camera during a photo shoot! I will spend several days in pain. Now I am experiencing deflating or displacement or well honestly I don’t know what is going on. But I have an appointment with my PS in two weeks and have every intention of speaking to him about getting them removed. Thanks for your story.

    Hi,

    I have had breast implants for 4 years. I don’t have any health issue and they look actually quite good to be breast with implamts. However, I have this struggle between removing or not removing… on one hand I want to keep feeling feminine and attractive but in the other side I want a be natural and Just be myself. I have my surgery on Tuesday and I am completely lost about whether go ahead or stop the surgery and maybe doing it in the future once I’ll be more prepared. Did you have all those doubts? I think it is a very hard decision to take specially when you don’t have health problems that requieres you to remove them.

    So I feel very self conscious about my breasts and have from a young age. They were never super perky or full to begin with and the aftermath of pregnancy did not help that. But I have been looking at myself thinking maybe I’m being unkind with myself. Unloving to my body that just did something incredible. Then I start stumbling upon videos of explants. & honestly don’t know how, but I ended up here. I guess my question is, do you have recipes or recommendations for things that can tighten my skin. I am starting to feel uncomfortable with the idea of surgery and maybe there is a way to look better naturally.. Thank you for sharing your story and tips! I admire you.

          I struggled with that same decision but I can honestly say I am really glad I didn’t go through with a lift. Granted I knew I wanted to have kids and breastfeed so I wanted as little disruption to my tissue as possible. There are multiple sizes of Derm roller. I don’t really remember what size I used but they all do pretty much the same thing!

      Hello,
      I have had my implants for 30 years. I’m now 57 and so scared to have them removed, but want to so badly. Mine are textured and under the muscle. Its the fear of the surgery that keeps me from doing it. I have had no issues at all. Never had any replacements or anything. I just want to be free of the implants. I have been waiting for about 3 years but I’m just scared.

        Sherri, I just had my breast implants explanted with a lift after 30 years of having them. I am 3 days post explant and am glad I had it done. I was scared too about not having anything left breast tissue wise after surgery. I finally took off the bandages today, and do have breasts left. I have read that it takes a good year for your breast’s to “fluff” out. I had my explant due to 16 years of this last set being in and not wanting to deal with more surgeries as I aged. I am 59 and am also hoping the years of “issues” that could never be diagnosed will be gone. I am on the road to a healthier me!

    Hi

    I’ve just explanted three weeks ago and I am following all your suggestions in your article. I just wondered, I’ve just made my own concoction of the essential oils from what you suggested. Is the Rosehip oil the carrier oil? I was wondering how much of that to use compared to the others. Thank you

    • Livon June 18, 2020 at 3:01 pm

      I also use coconut oil as the carrier and add the rosehip oil to that.

    Hi,

    I’m so glad I stumbled across your article….I’m loving finding all of the positivity about implant removal.

    I got mine over 6 years ago after birthing and feeding 2 babies. I thought my boobs looked awful at the time of getting them done but now looking back at my ‘before’ photos, they didn’t look bad at all.

    I saw the surgeon about removal and lift but she suggested just getting the removal done as I might not want the lift so it’s given me something to think about. I’m getting them taken out under local/sedation because I hate anaesthetic.

    She said unless the capsule is thickened then it’s safer to leave it in as it disrupts tissue and can cause excessive bleeding.

    I will definitely be giving some of your ideas a try post recovery.

    Thanks

    Danielle

      Danielle,

      I had the exact same mindset and I am kicking myself for not having more self-confidence back then! I am so happy to hear your surgeon told you to wait because you may be surprised at how well you recover and then you won’t have as many scars to worry about. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to hearing how it went!

    Hi Liv,
    I got my implants Jan. 2016. I was a small B (possibly considered an A) before my surgery, 46 yrs old and around 108lbs then. I had told my PS I wanted a C cup but I ended up getting a D cup. I had 260cc (R) and 280cc (L). My left implant did not drop, so I had to have another surgery to release it. I always felt like they were too big, so I decided to get them revised with a smaller size in 2019. I went to 195cc for each. My left implant again did not drop, so I had to have another surgery. I like the size better but my left implant has never been situated correctly. There has always been a small indention in the cleavage and I’ve always “felt” the implant as though it’s hung up. It’s not bad but I’m just aware of it.

    So now after 4 surgeries (last one was in Sept or Oct), I regret I just did not have an explant. I’m considering doing the explant within a month, even though it’ll be my 5th surgery and THE LAST.

    Since I haven’t had them in too long, I hope the capsule is thin and I read your body will absorb it. My PS does not recommend doing one. He’s telling me they look great and that I’m going into the “unknown” of what they’ll look like after.

    Since you’re a nurse, what are your thoughts? I’m not having any illness (that I’m aware of), but thinking since they’ll have to be removed or replaced anyway in 10 yrs, I might as well do it now to stop the risk of getting BII, thickening or calcification of the capsule, and possibly my skin will bounce back more now than in 10 yrs.

    Thank you!

      Gina,

      I think it is in any plastic surgeon’s best interest to recommend their patients keep implants. Asking a plastic surgeon his/her opinion about explant surgery is like asking a car salesman if you should trade in your car for a new one. My surgeon said the same thing and he would not guarantee results. My boobs aren’t perfect but I would definitely feel fine going on a nude beach in Europe! lol

      That being said, I think the sooner you get them out the better for your health. There shouldn’t be too much of a capsule and explant surgery is a lot easier to recover from. As far as waiting vs just getting them out now I am wondering how are you feeling overall?

      Do you feel strong, rested, healthy? Do you have any digestive issues? If you feel like your body is healthy and don’t have any general complaints then I would say just get them out as soon as you feel ready.

      However if you have anything else, health-wise going on with your body or stress in your life then I would say waiting a little while may be better before having another surgery.

      One of the best things I ever did was wait to eat breakfast until around 9-10 am. I start my day with a warm cup of lemon water and let that settle for 30 minutes and then have my coffee followed by a cup of bone broth.

      I eat exactly the same but just doing those simple things first in the morning before I put in food has improved my life immensely. I sleep better, lost 5 pounds, and now my knees don’t crack when I do squats.

      So whenever you do have your surgery I would say try doing that for a couple weeks before to help reduce inflammation. Hope that helps!

    I just had my 22 year old 600 cc under the muscle saline breast implants removed 2 days ago. I’m 5’3” 155 pounds I went from a perky B cup to a large 38 D. My boobs were huge but they looked good and I never had any complications. They were great when I was young and 30 pounds thinner. I fit the look that is fairly normal for my home town of Las Vegas. Now I live in Montana, I’m 49 have a young son and we are very active outdoor family, riding horses, fishing, trail running, loving life. The fact is my boobs just felt like they were in the way, they just don’t fit my lifestyle and I was becoming self conscious of how I looked in certain clothing. I just wanted to be free of the weight and feel healthier and lighter. While I feel very fortunate I never had any problems I New it was time to have them removed and good thing I did they were the textured kind that can cause a rare cancer. My surgery was a breeze. I was basically awake and so far the recovery is very comfortable no pain medicine required. I have been up and about doing my daily house chores within reason, I’m not lifting and overdoing it. My boobs look surprisingly good. I look to be a Nice C cup. Of course the top of my breast above my nipple has lost volume and a little concave which I’m hoping I can do chest excersise to help that fill in. My skin is somewhat loose but I think that will tighten up. Doc wants to wait 6 months before we decide if I need a lift but he didn’t feel like I was going to need one so he didn’t want give me lift on the same day of my surgery. Surprisingly my nipples are still in a good position. I’m am super excited and feel good I finally did this. Now I need to lose some weight and get back into shape. I can’t wait for how I’ll look in months to come.

      Just stay the course and do all the things to support your body to heal. For me it was like all of a sudden mine just plumped back up! It may take longer than 6 weeks but I don’t doubt that you see improvement. Skin shrinks back very slowly so don’t give up!

          • Livon November 11, 2019 at 7:21 pm

            Honestly I didn’t look at them so much after surgery. I changed my bandages and kept them wrapped up tight for a few weeks. My skin was saggy but it isn’t a good representation of the end result. Give them time! They will get better but it’s super important to keep them wrapped and compressed.

    Hello,

    Thank you for sharing your story.

    I am 54 years old. I had my implants placed over the muscle (350 cc) 10 years ago and never felt comfortable with the look or how they felt. I use to look more athletic and now I have more of a sexy image. I’m a fitness instructor and sexy is not what I want to project.

    Prior to surgery I was a small B cup and now I’m between C and D. I would like to have the implants removed because I don’t want any foreign objects inside me and I have been also having some burning sensations.

    I’ve been reading that after the removal to expect the flat look but that over time (usually 6 months) the breast regain their shape. My worry is that my breast were not perky prior to the implant and they will stay flat with excess skin after the removal. I am not sure if I should wait 6 months post explant and then decide about getting a lift or get it first time around. The thought of having a surgery twice does not appeal to me and potentially having scars from the lift is also not appealing. I also heard of some people having internal lift is less invasive. Recovery period is an issue as I teach aerobics for a living and taking 5 to 6 weeks off is a lot.

    Thank you in advance for any feedback:)

      Zeena,

      I too struggled with this decision before taking mine out too and wanting to avoid extra surgeries. In my case I am very happy that I did not add in a lift.

      If I was in your shoes, I would really think about how the skin all over your body currently looks. Does it still seem supple and have a healthy elasticity? Have you already gone through menopause and perhaps don’t have as many hormones on your side that help with healing. How quickly does your skin heal from cuts and scrapes? Do you have a lot of pronounced older scars that never healed well in the past. If so you can expect new scars to not heal as well so you may want to consider this when you think about doing a lift because they are going to cut your skin up.

      The fact that you are a fitness instructor is great because it means your cardiovascular system will be primed and ready to bring oxygen and nutrients to your skin and you will definitely heal better than someone who is sedentary.

      That being said, there are so many things you can do to help your skin heal, tighten, and return to it’s original state. I am now very against anything extra because I deeply believe our bodies can heal and if it was me I would rather give it that chance first. However every time you are under anesthesia it isn’t great so if you ultimately think you would be super unhappy if you have some sagging then perhaps the scars would be worth it.

      Other than the things I mentioned in this post you can also take the homeopathic remedy Calc. Fluor. once a day for the months after your surgery. This is a tissue cell salt that promotes elasticity and repair.

      Nutritionally, you want to increase your protein intake afterwards to give your body the building blocks it needs to repair. This is a great time to eat lamb and beef, especially grass-fed! You also want as much selenium, zinc, and vitamin C in your diet as possible so brazil nuts, shrimp, hard boiled eggs, raw unpasturized cheese from grass-fed cows, citrus fruits, and tropical fruits. The protein is the bricks and the minerals are the mortar so to speak when you think about healing.

      Lastly, schedule your surgery in the summer when food is at peak season instead of the winter when food from the grocery store is nutritionally depleted. Stock up your fridge with locally grown produce before your surgery, you will be giving your body the very best chance of getting everything it needs to do the job on it’s own!

      Hope this helps and I wish you the best.

    I am struggling with the good price & choice of a surgeon.
    I had my 320cc implants placed under the muscle on a 75A breast when 28 years old. After 1 month of generous breastfeeding my 2nd son (it was my first BF because my 1st newborn son was taken away from us to get urgent care at the nursery (4 days), my right breast began to hurt. Only 7 months after the pain started accompanied with disformation, my husband told me about implant rupture.
    The surgeon who put them in answered me there was no urgency to extract them (within 1 year was ok).
    I went to see another surgeon, (50€ consult) who I didn’t trust because I saw his secretary damage (face lifting) and he offered me no real solution.
    I went to see a 3d surgeon (60€) and his words were clear. I decided he would do the job.
    Only he would cost me a lot!!!! He advised me to replace them, against my wish, and my husband told me it should be wizer to follow his advise because of my psychic issues (low self-esteem).
    Now I paid 6000€ to get my implants replaced from under my muscles (every pec exercise made them move a lot) to under my tee*ts.
    Already 1 month after, I regretted my decision: the low half of each breast was like paralysed, my libido was gone, the scars where longer and visible and I felt depressed.
    I mailed my surgeon and his secretary but both addresses mentioned on the contract did’t answer… My stress was acute and I wanted to forget this all. My family life still was very difficult (ADHD kids and a man with a poor health) at the time and my lowered energy was used for my kids and frequent disputes and for my ever not sleeping 2nd baby.
    The winter felt cold inside: my implants were a fridge to my body!! I also felt them on my chests. The sensation on my breasts still was gone.
    Now I want to have them removed.
    I went to see a 4th surgeon of a private clinic, which advised me to have lipofilling after removal (4000€). The anestesia and remove job would be reimbursed (for the previous replacement, only 300€ will be reimbursed!). It’s a money making industry!
    All surgeons told and still tell me it will be ugly/horrible. Now eventually I don’t care. I will pay another consultation to hear his price & heal expectations. I wrote the average price is 1500€. My 3d surgeon would have me paid 2500€ anesthesia and 2000€ operation blok. No reimbursem*nt.
    I will now meet a 5th surgeon…
    You seemed to be much luckier than me in your surgery path.
    I wish you further happiness and fit life with your family

      Stephanie,

      First of all, I am so glad to hear you were able to breastfeed your son. I had mine taken out before I got pregnant because they were so big and uncomfortable I couldn’t imagine doing that with them in! The surgeon that put mine in assured me you can breastfeed with them but I didn’t see how my back could take that much breasts! The surgeon I went to for the explant wanted me to downsize as well and I was soooo close to doing that but I stayed up all night before my surgery praying about it and I heard a small voice tell me that I should just be completely natural. It was the best decision I ever made.

      About how they will look. It is so hard to know since you have had more than one surgery which likely weakened your skin a bit. However our bodies were designed to heal and even if your skin is a bit on the saggy side at first, if it was me, I would rather take them out and then wait and see how you heal. You can always get some skin taken off later although I don’t know if this would be worth going under anesthesia again.

      I cannot believe he told you you could live with a ruptured implant for a year? That seems incredibly unsafe because chemicals will be leaking in your bloodstream. I wish you best on your journey. I am sorry to hear it has been so difficult but thank you for sharing your story. Hopefully someone else will find this and it will help them be brave enough to just take them out the first time and not let a surgeon talk them into downsizing!

    Thank you for this article. I’m 5.5 weeks post-op and I’m unsure what to put on my scars. I went back to the same doctor who put them in because I thought that was the best idea, and now it’s my biggest regret as he does not believe in implant Illness of course. I had to force him to remove my capsules on the day of the surgery. Anyhow, long story short I feel like I don’t have a good support system with him and I’m worried I’m not doing it all right. Which is why I’m so thankful to have found this article- I’m going to take your advice. Hopefully it’s not too late to start my compression wrap! Thanks again- I would love to read more about your story 🙂

      It’s definitely not too late because our bodies are designed to heal. We are healing machines as long as we support them properly. I am sorry to hear your surgeon is being less than supportive. Thank you for leaving your story. I hope others will read it and take that into consideration when they are searching for an explant physician.

        Yes- I’m hidsight, I should have known! I flew back to him and spent a lot of money on accommodations and my thought was- he put them in so I want him to take them out. I wasn’t taking into account that of course he doesn’t believe in implant illness as this is what he does for a living. Anyhow, I am putting positive energy into my healing process and currently wearing the compression wrap you recommended:)

        And yes, anyone reading this- only go to an exoplanet surgeon and make sure they take the capsule out!

        Hi , I find your blog very comforting.. I go this Monday for removal under a local.. I have had these implants for 5 years…these are my second set… Just getting older and my health is more important to me and frankly I’m just tired of them… Worried about the local.. Dr swears I will fill no pain and recovery with be almost painless… Did they remove your capsules? Thanks for your all your tips… I just ordered all the oils and wraps…

          Hi!

          I only had my implants for a total of 3 years before I got them removed so I didn’t have much scar tissue to remove. I think local is a great idea! I found my explant surgery to be WAY easier to recover from than implants so I think as long as he is being patient to give you additional lidocaine when you feel something, local is a great option.

        Aloha! Mahalo for sharing, I am so happy I stumbled across your story. So about 14 yrs ago after giving birth to and breastfeeding 3 kids, my boobs were deflated looking so I decided to have implants (I was around 44 years old). After the surgery & healing I felt they were slightly too large (34b to 32dd 5’7” 132 lbs) but I had fun and lived with it although I had regrets about doing it at times. Anyway about 7 years later I wanted to have them removed, & the same surgeon wife/nurse said $500 cuz it’s in office procedure. Well I didn’t want to waste my initial investment so I said I’ll wait, in the meantime he retired! So I did a lot of research & asking around and finally found one of the best surgeons in Hawaii that even does lipoaugmentation. We did a consult and he said I don’t have enough fat to do a lipo 🙁 so my choices are an explant $7,000 or an explant with lift $13,000. Yikes! I’ve been having long talks with my husband of 27 yrs and he said he’s fine either way and whatever makes me happy makes him happy! My feelings are that I may be very upset with how I look after an explant, saggy, deformed and deflated looking. I’m sure I want explant no replacement but I’m not sure of the psychological aspects of going through with it! Thank you so much for sharing your tips and story you’re very brave and beautiful!

          There is a lot of psychological aspects that go with this decision and trust me, I worked through them all as well. You could always do a lift with your explant surgery so that you remove some of the excess skin.

    What a wonderful article to read, full of hope for me! I got my implants for my 30th and soon I will be 48 almost 18 years, so hard to believe! I had already had my two children I really had no boobs when young and loved having some when feeding…
    Although the surgery went well and the appearance was great I noticed a decline in health and energy, I would no longer do a push up being concerned about the pressure rupturing them…

    Long story short God has done a transformation in the way I think and I am no longer insecure about my appearance…natural way of living is best where ever possible so hopefully and prayerfully I find the right surgeon to do the job. GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR SHARING

      Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience. I got my implants a little over 2 years ago after breastfeeding 4 kids, and am now considering removing them. I was very happy with the result initially and everything healed well, but then about a year later I started wishing they were slightly fuller. I am 5’3” and 108 lbs and had gone with a very small implant because I was afraid of them looking too big. Well 6 months ago I got them redone with just a slightly bigger implant, and now I am just feeling like something is off with me. I’ve been experiencing shortness of breath, intense anxiety, tightness in my chest, brain fog, fatigue, etc. I just don’t feel like myself, and I can’t help but think its related to my implants. I’m meeting with my surgeon next week to discuss what’s going on. Deep down I feel like I need to get them removed, but I am scared about what the end result will be. After I stopped breastfeeding I was less than an A cup. I am ok with having small boobs but i just don’t want to look deformed. Your post has given me some encouragement. I’m having a lot of anxiety about this decision and just want to do what’s best for my health.

        Jenna,

        You just described a lot of the symptoms of breast plant illness. Talk with your husband about it because I know how big of a decision this can be. I would hate for you to go under anesthesia for a 3rd time since this can really be hard on the body too. Perhaps you can do some other things to try to improve the way you feel, such as beef up your intake of antioxidants to buy yourself some more time while you sort out the decision. One of the things we like take everyday to support our bodies is cod liver oil. Also if you can drink elderberry tea or syrup. I don’t know what you looked like before all the surgeries but I was a double D and mine look pretty normal now. Our bodies are designed to heal but ultimately, breast implants aren’t great for our health long term. I didn’t know this when I made the decision to get them.

    I had mine removed June 21st, I also got a lift as well. (59 years old). I had mine for about 14 years? never really felt like me, always bought a larger top, my perfect posture went away… I cannot believe how great I feel and it has only been a week. My perfect posture is back and I get my drains removed tomorrow. live and learn, expensive mistake on my part and I now love my perfect small breasts…B/C now from a large C/D

      Linda,

      I also felt an immediate difference. I had so much more energy and felt stronger. I wish you a speedy recovery and also check out this stretch mark cream recipe. I used many of these ingredients post explant and my skin bounced back really well!
