    Default Gonna have my implants removed

    So I've been on this emotional rollercoaster since I had implants. I've been depressed, and thus have gained weight, and I just can't take it anymore.
    I don't like how they look, and although they only hurt sometimes, I hate having a foreign object in my body. I wish I'd been happy with my natural breasts. Now I'd be very happy if I could get back to the breasts I had before. I had 390ccs, smooth, unders. Here's a link to my before and afters:

    Is there any chance that my breasts will be very similar to the way they were before?

    Also, I paid $6000 for my surgery. Does anyone have an idea of a rough cost of removal without replacement?

    Interesting statement there. I havent heard that one before except from girls who went fairly large (ie 600+cc) their maybe 2nd time or so. I have no idea how they will look afterwards. I suggest that you go in for a consult. All I can think of is that they might have some sag since you have extra skin created by the implant. Good luck to ya.....hope all goes well.

    The procedure you want to get done is called explantation I believe. IMO, your implants look great. Looks alot like your before, except a tad bigger. But whatever makes you happy, good luck with whatever happens.

    Check this site out for more info. Also if you ask, they'll give you access to the photo folder. There are heaps of pics from women who've had their implants removed and almost all of them have normal looking breasts. Those that havent have had pretty bad complications, so I wouldnt worry too much (-:

    I have who told me her friend had hers removed and it cost more to have them taken out and that she was more excited to have them taken out than she was when she had them put in. She was telling me about her friend trying to talk me out of getting them. I'm on the fence about whether I want them or not.

    You have beautiful breasts with or without the implants. You did not go very big, I think they will look almost exactly like they did before. The only difference will probably be the incision scar.

    It must have been a tough decision to make, I really respect that you're listening to your body on this.

    Wow, they're so new... I'm suprised you're not still in boobie-honeymoon. Did you dislike them right off the bat? Since you got them so recently I imagine that they'll bounce back pretty nicely, perhaps you'll have to wear some sort of compression garment. By the way, I think they look wonderful, but then again they were very pretty to begin with

    My grandmother has had the same breast implants for more than 50 years!! They were causing her a lot of pain, so Medicare agreed to let her remove them. She couldn't pay the additional costs, so I picked it up for her. Removal and lift with no new implants cost me about $3000 for surgeon, anesthesia and OR, but Medicare did pay a chunk of it.

    Good luck in your decision.

    Just wanted to wish you luck with getting the surgery. You have a very pretty chest area torso I guess I should say. But I think even if things aren't identical to preimplants, you will still look great.
