Regretting breast implants

3 replies

I just wondered if anyone had breast implants and regretted it? Did you have them removed or soldier on?

I've had mine just under a year. Over the muscle to fill out empty boobs after breastfeeding 3 children. Went from a 34D to a 32E

Nipples were in the right place so I didn't have a lift as I didn't need it.

I just feel all wrong now. I can't wear what I want to, they are uncomfortable, my nipples hurt like buggery, they're so sensitive, even getting in the shower makes me wince. I feel huge, my shoulders hurt too.

I have thought about having them removed and a lift but am concerned that maybe it's just too soon to make that choice (it wouldn't be until later in the year), maybe I'll learn to like them.

Will the scars be awful if I have a lift? If I then regret it they'll be no going back.

If you're really not happy with them then maybe get an appointment with a surgeon and see what they can do, they might be able to reassure you about scarring etc.

I had them years ago. Got them done when I was early 20's and had them for about 5 years. Then had them removed in 2013 and am so glad.

I had them under the muscle, and can't remember the what cc they were, not huge or anything but they felt like they were too big for my body and I could never sleep on my side or my front as it was too uncomfortable.

I also got random pains in my breast which worried me. I just knew after a while they weren't for me. I also had quite a small frame, was only a size 8 at the time, so they made me look bigger and I felt quite self conscious of them.

The surgeon was able to reopen the original scars to get them out, so I only have a small scar in the fold under each breast which is fortunate.

It took a good while for my breast tissue to bounce back, they were quite flat at the start, and the skin was stretched out a bit (but I was just glad to have them soft and warm and squishy again). But I never got full sensation back in my nipples which is annoying.

Thankfully I had no complications, and I'm honestly so much happier without them.

The nipple sensitivity should settle down in time
