Just got my ‘DD’ implants out two weeks ago after 20+ years and I am so in love with being my natural B again. Wish I had done it sooner , it took an encapsulation to bring me to taking them out but I had a chance to replace and decided not to and to just lift. At an active 49 , I look younger and feel younger. And now I never have to worry about another surgery in my later years.
That's so great to hear! Exactly that, not having to worry about having another surgery was a big one for me too! Glad you are feeling good! x
That's brilliant delighted for your it must be just amazing feeling. I'm currently unable to get mine out at the minute. Did you get a enbloc capsule removal?
@@GK-EireGoBragh yes , and I am 4 months out now and fully active again.
All has gone well , praise God.
Pray you get whats needed for your removal soon 🙏🏼
When I tell you I’m having the literal exact same experience now at 43. Ladies, don’t get implants. None of these plastic surgeons care about your overall health!
So true!!
You're right! Even the 'nice' ones really don't care that much. They are in the profession because it is one that makes them very wealthy! Once patients are seen for their follow up are out of sight out of mind after that! They are not worried about how you will be five, ten years down the way! Their view is that it was *your choice* your responsibility. And it things turn out badly, that is also *your problem.* That is the prevailing attitude among most of these surgeons!
Very interesting! I've always hated my small breasts but now that I am older I totally see the advantages. Being small on top I think I look younger, thinner, and better in clothes. Who is to blame for all our insecurities about breast size? Our culture? Men? Other women? I'm not sure. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
Thank you for watching 😊 I do wonder? xx
I had explant & lift in 2020. I was sick for over 8 yrs! I had saline implants for 19 yrs and I had over 25 symptoms. I only have a few symptoms leftover and have lost around 50 lbs. i look so much younger too. I had really weird symptoms i didnt even know was BII that went away too. I saw over 25 drs who never found anything wrong w me. I immediately felt better after explant but took around 2 yrs to heal. I also haveca few videos on my yt if anyone needs more resources. Im so glad that you arehappy and healthy now! This topic is so important to get out there! Love & light to you ❤
Thank you lovely 😊Oh that's fantastic, I'll definitely watch your videos! You are so right and I don't think a lot of people are aware so it's helpful to get the information out there 💗
Wow
Congrats on feeling g better! I will definitely go check out for video thanks for sharing …. I always feel awe full as well aching bones , thyroid, weightgain, horrible immune system ! 😢encapsulated as well .
I hope you feel better soon! @@ab2396
Thank you so much for this video and for sharing your story! I'm explanting on June 19, (2024) and I'm very excited for the procedure. I had my mentor implants implanted in 1988... yes, that's 36 years ago! I've had health problems from day one (a rash), and subsequently lost my thyroid due to Hashimoto's, digestive issues, fibromyalgia, etc., but no one ever related those problems to the implants. I only found out about BII a few months ago when a friend of mind told me about it, and even then I thought she was having a hysterical reaction...until I became part of the FB group and did my own research. I'm now 71 years old and I'm looking forward to a new lease on life... for what's left of it. 🙏
Today is 20 June, 2024, so I hope you had a successful explant and are recovering nicely.
GOOD for you! May God grand you many more happy and vital years!! Ty for sharing. I am desperately hoping that young women wake up to the lies they've been fed. I have a young daughter and I have taught her to NEVER do this and that she is perfect as is!
Thank you for your video 🥰, I had mine taken out (5/2024) after having them for 16yrs and have to say for me best decision ever. My surgeon didn’t recommend a lift as well and the recovery process was so easy. I have had 3 lower back surgeries and 3 neck surgeries and just didn’t want the additional weight on my spine. Now it’s been a month and everyday I feel better and really like the way I look. The interesting part for me is that like you said you start to look younger. My daughter told me I look 20yrs younger! My face changed so much. As far as my breast, initially even though I knew this is what I wanted I was still nervous about how it would look since I had mine so long. The first week took a little getting use to it, and I didn’t really like the way they looked even though I thought I would be prepared. But like my surgeon said the skin will tighten up and the shape will start to change. Now I love them and it’s only a month in. I went from a DD to a C.
That so great to hear! Yes that's it, they bounce back! Glad you are feeling a looking better in yourself x
Thank you for sharing!! This is the first time ever ever watching videos of breast implant removal. I’ve had mine since 2005 I have noticed in the years soreness in my left breast, fatigue, joint pain puffiness in my face weight gain and depression. I wished I never had it done now I’m scared why I don’t know because I wasn’t scared when I got them in maybe I’m afraid I’m going to be ugly, but if I feel better, it’s gonna be worth it. My health has been like a roller coaster now I feel so bad because of that choice in 2005 with the economy so crazy as it is and things are so expensive. This only adds to our plate right now because finding out how much this cost I just started crying , but when I told my husband about this, he said get them out. He was very supportive and said it’s only money!! I just cried of relief because I just don’t feel good. I have a appointment next Tuesday at 4 PM for a consultation and he is going with me. I tell everyone now don’t do it too! Thank you again
Aw I’m so glad you are able to have them removed! Don’t even worry about how they will look just focus on recovery. It will take up to a year for your natural breasts to settle properly. I felt so relieved once they were out I couldn’t have been more excited for surgery! I still can’t believe they are out and it just makes me so happy to have my own body back! The puffy face and swollen eyes in the morning were ther worst for me. All the best going forward!!
Yes I’m nervous . I just want it done and over with. And to feel better.
Thanks for sharing - I’m booked in this coming Thursday and it’s reassuring to hear about your easy recovery
All the best for Thursday! It will be such a relief when it's done x
i’m glad you shared your experience. i feel it will help others. thank you for being so real Shaz. i always enjoy your videos❤
Thank you so much!😊💗
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Very informative! I’m glad you’re feeling better! ❤
Thank you so much!😊💗
I’ve heard so many awful stories about these french implants. You’ve taken the good decision Shaz, and the transformation of your face is amazing. My sister had breast cancer a few years ago and refused the reconstruction because her fear of being sick again and she never regretted her decision. A woman is a woman, boobs don’t define your femininity. Love to you my beautiful friend. Bisous de France 😘❤️
Thank you so much 😊 yes it was an awful situation, I couldn't believe it! You are absolutely right about that! I'm so glad your sister is recovered. Much love always xoxo
Thank you so much for your beautiful take on this - I can’t wait to get mine out !!!
You are so welcome! All the best with yours xx
I loved this video Shaz, it was/is so informative for those ladies thinking of having breast implants. Your sensible and non judgemental experience of how this procedure panned out over the years is invaluable. You did what was right for you at every stage and took the time to think and gain as much information as you could to ensure the best possible outcome.
And you look FABULOUS ❤😍⚘️
Thank you so much Jayne 😊💗Oh yes I'm one to do my research! xx
Great video, I’m new to your channel, came across it searching for information regarding explant. this was really helpful and informative, thank you. I’m due to have surgery next month x
I'm so glad you found it helpful x All the best for your upcoming surgery x
Great video, I agree with all of your points! I also had them, and got them removed. They did make me feel matronly, I saw a picture of myself and was shocked. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! xx
Thank you so much for this video Shaz! very helpful!
You are so welcome and I'm glad it was helpful xx
I just had explant due to a massive silicone leak - pain free surgery, great surgeon, but i was not visually as ready as I thought afterwards, with bad nipples creased ! Only a few day out but desperately hoping for a more normal look. Right now Im mortified to look in mirror. I came on to emotionally work thru this and try to be glad I did the explant - you have helped me a bit
It takes time, it's been 9 months since my explant and my nipples are still creased inwards. It can take up to a year for everything to settle. Focus on how you feel physically rather than how they look for now. xx
I’ve had breast implants for 4 years and I’ve started recently experiencing bii symptoms. I’m going in for an explant consult this Tuesday. I’m so excited to get these things removed. And I’m so thankful for you and all the women like you sharing your stories. You have saved me💖
I'm so happy this helped you make the decision to get them removed. xx
Hello! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Take care
Thanks for watching!
Such a nice and informative video, gives me a lot of hope! I thank you a lot and you tell your story so easily and funny, i like listen to you. I‘m from Germany and actually I‘m waiting for my first date with the doctor from Hamburg i want to explantate me. When i listen to your story it‘s the first time i don‘t feel fear to explantate rather looking forward to the explantation. I thank you sooo much❤
I'm so glad! The hard part is making the decision I know! Once you get it booked in you will feel much better.
@@BlondeTeaParty ❤️
I had my explant in februari this year. I’ve had my breast implants for 34 years and so it was about time i’ve had them removed from my body. They both leaked and were ripped inside my body. I can tell everybody here that i have never been more happy than i am now with my body. I am now 58 years old and i never expected my natural breasts to recover so well. I didn’t have a lift or anything after they removed the implants, but they still recovered very nice. I will never ever put anything in my body again, i am really happy with who i am now.
I'm so happy you have had a positive experience and are feeling so much better! I feel exactly the same about mine too! xx
Very informative video.
Thank you for sharing your journey. Hugs to you!
Thanks for watching!😊💗
I remember Coffee Break with Danny having all those health issues before she had them removed. Danny has always been skinny so I can imagine the pain she went thru for a fat transplant, she has no fat on her. She now looks so happy and healthy, I remember she always hated her very thin hair, now she has a full head of hair. So happy you did so well getting them removed.❤
Oh yes I remember well, she had not an ounce of fat on her body! Thank you so much, I feel so much better in myself now xx
Hey girl, I really enjoyed hearing about your experience. I don't have them, never have, and i'm so glad I never did. I think when you are younger you want to look perfect/perky but as you age you start embracing who you are, and your body. My boobs are bigger now after having Lola, and I hate it. ha! They aren't massive, but a whole cup size bigger. It is what it is though. Women also forget about that too. Your body changes so much between 20-40 and even older and the young ones don't remember that. I have a "friend" that used to work at this boutique I frequented and she just had hers explanted.. she had BPI and I'm hoping she's doing better now. Crazy!
Ah thank you so much! Exactly, the older you get the more accepting you become of yourself thank goodness! You just don't think about that in your 20's! xx
Thank you for doing this video. I also follow Cleo and so many more people are having them removed for health reasons. I had mine done 6 years ago and am seriously thinking about having them removed. Whilst I have no health issues, I’m just over them if that makes sense and I don’t want to keep having them replaced as I get older x
You are so welcome! I felt the same about them and the thought of having more surgeries really put me off! x
Having mine out in less than 24 hours. I did have a surgeon try and talk me out donut yesterday but you and others are reminding me to do it. It can be a mental challenge, I used to have body dysmorphia but now I love myself fully and I’m excited to have my small back.
I saw quite a few surgeons before I decided on my final one because I just couldn't make my mind up to remove or replace.
@@hereforthenow Great news!! Happy healing!! So glad you did what was best for you xx
Thank you for sharing. Getting my implants out in 2 months, having mixed feelings but this helped a lot! I am hoping removing them will help me feel better.
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck!! It was the best decision I ever made and feel so much better in myself.
Just got mine out 2 weeks ago… much easier then I
expected…one of the best decisions ever. Prayers for your recovery 🙏🏼
Thank you for this video!
Glad it was helpful!🤗
Thanks for sharing your story. Very scary stuff when you hear the horror stories. I use to follow a lady on IG and for like almost 2 years she was always sick and started trying to do so much to get her health back to good - after she got her implants out it was like night and day. She showed her implants after they were taken out and they were like dark brown/black. I think she even got them tested but I don't remember what happened. We have a client at my job who had a small chest, very petite and athletic woman and she's probably close to 50 years old and she got a boob job but like extreme. Her chest walks into to the room before she does now and she looks much older. I mean yay for her if she loves them but I thought she looked good just the way she was.
I was given a little more than I'd like - It feels like the moment I turned 16 bam my chest grew overnight - no weight gain no change just like one day they grew - if anything I always wanted a boob reduction I'm a C currently but would feel more confident with a B cup. My mom is an A cup and I was always so envious of her smaller chest. My mom is in her mid 60s now and I must say her boobs look really good. I don't think I can say the same for me down the line! And I'm too scared to go under the knife.
We just don't know how our bodies are going to react to what is essentially a foreign object. I always find it interesting when fitness people get them done because they are not comfortable when exercising or running. I think as long as you are not in any discomfort. xx
Brilliant video ❤ i had apparently pip ones on 2004 still got them in i am removing them next year not had any problems
But iron deficiency and gallbladder issues not sure if related to my implant s but it probably is Xxx glad u made this video i watched it three times
So glad I could help! You probably got the good ones!
Your story is so similar to mine. I get mine out in 3 weeks, after having them in for 9 years. I feel big a frumpy too x
You will feel so much better x
I agree i had them done at 25, I'm now 27 and I hate them :( I'm deffo gonna take mine out. Thank you for your advice x
Anytime! x
Best thing I had done was getting mine out a year & a 1/2 ago! ❤Karen
You did too?! I didn't know you had them! It feels so much better doesn't it! xx
I’m so glad I saw this. I’ve been debating whether to have breast implants replaced or removed. I’ve been having a lot of issues and have had mine in for 20 years. Now I definitely want them taken out. The Colby thing I’m worried about is I heard it’s an invasive surgery. How long did it take you to recover?
It shouldn't be depending on if their are under the muscle or not. I was up and out walking the dog the next day! No pain at all and the tiniest scar. It was such a simple procedure as mine were fully intact with not a lot of scar tissue.
@@BlondeTeaParty That helps ease my mind. I’ve been so stressed and worried about it but can’t deal with the pain and issues any longer.
@@tracy9397 I was exactly the same! xx
Thank you very much for sharing ? Did you have to have tubes in afterwards ? 💕🥰💕🙏🏻God bless you❤️
Thank you! No I didn't have tubes afterwards thank goodness because that's what I was most worried about but I had asked the surgeon before hand.
I started getting arm pains out of the blue very painful and didn’t know what was going on. Recently I noticed I had an itchy patch on one of my boob. Didn’t pay it no mind until I noticed a discoloration (green type patch next to the itchy patch) it’s been 13 years and I’ve decided to remove these things. I’m worried it will look deflated once I remove them. Now researching others experience. I appreciate you sharing with others!
They will look deflated and it may take up to a year to see a difference. There are options to have a lift or fat transfer. x
Thank you for sharing this! I have mine scheduled to be taken out in January. I had them for ten years, saline implants. One deflated and I thought to just replace them until I started researching and decided I was going to take them out and see how they go, especially since I like the look of the smaller one now. The idea that if I got them replaced, at some point, I would have to have another surgery really didn't sit well with me. But I'm stuck because I don't know if I should remove the capsules or not? If I don't remove them, will I still experience benefits? Any ladies out there who kept them, could you please tell me if you've had any issues since keeping them in? Apart from that, I'm happy for you and I look forward to sharing in that same experience!
Regarding the capsules, it all depends on what your surgeon thinks is best for you. My surgeon said that there is no need to take the capsules out in my case.
Thank you for your reply. Could you keep us updated on your recovery/healing? If you notice any difference etc. Thanks!@@BlondeTeaParty
@@Mia-ih1gv yes absolutely!
There were people that had mattress filler? That is horrendous! How dare whoever came out with that idea! what an injustice! I wish women would stop deciding to follow Instagram 'models' most of whom are drug addicts and desperately unhappy people! I understand that was NOT you. But it's the time we are in!) Thank Goodness the whole big boob thing is fading fast and small and/or natural is making a major comeback!! Good for you!
Yes the creator of the pip implants decided to cut corners and costs. I know I completely agree and it's so damaging for young girls who want to look like these insta 'models'. I was out yester day and my goodness there was this girl who had her boobs done, lips done, backside done, she looked grotesque! I just can't understand the appeal of these aesthetics!
@@BlondeTeaParty And it's only a certain 'kind of man' who finds this appealing and often they find out in the most unpleasant way just what type of people these sorts are. They are all too often abusive misogynist porn fed cheaters and beaters. A true man of quality is NOT going to give a woman who looks like this a wedding ring, or be a decent partner of any sort. I have several grown sons and ALL of them find this look repulsive. They will not date women who look like this. One of them said if a woman has to resort to such drastic measures, then she has very poor self-esteem and that is not the partner he wants and definitely not for marriage or the type he'd have children with. These women are forgetting the long-term effects, which remain largely unknown. The BBL is a fairly new thing. What does the future hold for the BBL patients? Higher cancer risk? Chronic illness? Many BBL patients are suffering from horrible illnesses that are persistent. Women need to remember the *location* of the BBL. It makes it nearly impossible to clean the surgical site properly, and the risk of infection is sky high. I've also heard what you have said. Women with breast implants find that nothing fits but large shifts and tunics, no more nice cute blouses or form fitting tops. Some naturally don't fit into those and that's fine, if it's one's normal build or they are working on achieving a healthier weight loss. But how sad to look 20 years more matronly overnight for something as expensive as a car to begin with! Also, how does one know there will be adequate health or finances for future surgeries?? Imagine an 70 year old needing breast implant surgery updates! I suppose by then one would elect to remove them but it STILL involves an additional surgery! I've had a number of *necessary* major surgeries and they are no joke and the recovery is miserable. I just don't understand having an elective plastic surgery by choice. General anesthesia is very serious and complications are always possible. It takes a *long* time to recover from major surgery and most plastic surgery procedures are major surgery. This upsets me so, as people like the Kardashians and their insanity are costing young women their lives! As women we need to reverse this trend and go back to focus on our best lives in the old fashioned way that results in lasting beauty and vitality. Good nutrition, exercise and having a beautiful heart!
I needed to see this. I've had mine for 18 yrs. I was 120# before and 165# now. I dread them looking deflated and worry that now that I'm older, the skin will never recover. No one wants nips looking at the floor.
You might benefit from having a lift and or fat transfer which I was offered but didn't want as I didn't need a lift. They still look deflated but I'm not bothered because I feel so much better. It can take up to a year for you natural boobs to settle.
May I ask how you’re doing now? I am having mine removed next month and trying to decide if I should get lift at the same time. I really don’t want to have to go back later! 😭
Did they just remove the implant, or the capsule as well? Did you have a lift, fat transfer or anything? What type of implants did you have, silicone or saline - textured or smooth?
They just removed the implant. It’s not always possible or needed to remove the capsule as well. It depends on your surgeon and what he thinks is best for you. I has pip cohesive gel ( stronger than silicone) implants that were textured. I had no lift or fat transfer.
@@BlondeTeaParty Thank you for sharing
Hi, Did you have the capsule out too or just the implants?
Just the implants
Thank you for your story
Was it expensive I was quoted £6000 to get mine taken out in the U.K!
It's different for everyone depending on what your surgeon suggests. Mine was £4000 not including the £250 consultation fee.
@@BlondeTeaParty thank you I am having a consultation with dr roblin soon so fingers crossed! After having them in in 2010 and recently having a lymph node scare I just want to rip them out now 🙏
Did any one get wide spread nerve pain with Breast implants illnesses?
I have mine since 2002 and im getting mines out next month plus a lift
Hope all goes well! 😊
I agree i had mine out after 11 years looked fat nothing fit men always rude . I went from 38 DD to 38 b i am happy
That’s it’s isn’t it! Glad you’re happy 😊
I've had mine in for 40 years now! I'm done. Left is so contracted I hate hugging people due to the 'softball' stuck to my chest. Be gone.
Yes exactly! I was always so embarrassed hugging people! x
Hiii I was wondering why the women that replaced them had actually more symptoms after replacing them than before? I. Am actually considering taking them out but i just replaced them after 11 years And im afraid of the BII. Thank You in advamce❤
because they were replaced with Allergen implants which seemed to cause a lot of people more problems in the long run. They are textured and it's the breakdown of that texture that tends to migrate. Not everyone has issues with their implants it's just some bodies don't react well to them. It all depends on how you feel.
Thanks for your answer😘
Were yours over or under the muscle?
Over the muscle x
Who was your doctor at Spire?
Dr Theodore Nanidis. He is excellent!
Thank you for sharing!! I always wanted them done and now at 36 I’m glad I didn’t. My body has changed with two children and that in itself is challenging in top of having to worry about implants 🫠 women do look more mature with them …when you’re young they look amazing …as you get older things shift and change
That's exactly it, our bodies are always changing and what looked good at 26 wont' look the same 10, 20 years later x
Im so afraid of the look after. I was an A cup. Got them last august and I want them out. I woke up with 650cc 😔
I was an A cup too! If you had them done only last August they won't be as bad as you think. x
I have mine since over 19 years….. I remove them in march. So excited about it. I don’t mind how my chest look like. I know now, it’s not important to have boobs to be a woman.
Exactly how I felt too! x
It will take about a year for your breast to shape up so be patient
They will look great and you will love them!
When were they recalled? What year?
I think it was 2010
😂😂😂 a big potatoes. Thank you for your video. I have been rethinking my implants .😊
You are so welcome!xx
Sounds like me but I still have mine
I got mine done at 28 & I'm booking in for removal in 3 weeks. I feel like a potato as well!
Did your skin elasticity return & was there much of skin being loose?
I'm not sure if I should get a lift or not. I just want them out with minimal incisions 😩
Your surgeon should advise you on if you would need a lift. I had quite small implants, around 230 cc. It's been almost a year now since I had them out and not much has changed. I have lost all the volume at the top which he suggested fat transfer but I'm like no thanks!
I don't get this booty thing
Never thought about it. XxX 😂❤❤❤xxx
Did you ever have any neck and back pain that you noticed was from your boobs?
I had awful neck pain on one side x
