Breast Implant Regret

I think if you are considering implants - you should know the WHOLE story, not just the pretty pictures of big boobs story.

I honestly regret nearly every day getting my implants. I'm scared of future surgery knowing that I want to have children. A friend of mine has implants & is currently pregnant. She went from a C to DD in 5 months of pregnancy & she says they just keep getting bigger! Her breast will likely sag something awful after the pregnancy.

Second: Mammography post implants. Normal mammography is 4 pictures (2 on each breast). With implants, they take 8 x-rays. This means extra radiation exposure (an increase in chance to cancer!), and twice as much discomfort as you'd have without them.

Third: and my biggest complaint: SLEEPING. I can't sleep on my stomach without a bolster under my breasts. I'm only a C cup with my implants, so it isn't like they are enormous. It is uncomfortable. Massages are a not fun anymore either. They hurt due to the implants.

I truly wish I'd never gotten my implants. I'm considering having them removed prior to pregnancy. – Kristy

Breast Implant Regret Details

Type of procedure: Breast Augmentation
Incisions Used: Inframammary (Under the Breast)
Details: left a visible scar about 3.5" long.
Implant Type, Size & Other Details: Saline
Implant Size & Other Details: I went from an A to a C...which was NOT my intention. I wanted a full B.
Placement: Under the Muscle/Submuscular
Details: Glad I went this route...my mother was diagnosed with Breast cancer about a month after my implants & I was glad that it is easier to have mammography. Please know that with implants you have a higher exposure to radiation with mammography! Normal mammogram is 4 shots, with implants it is 8 pictures with twice as much pain! I had my baseline mammogram done this year due to my family history.
Bra Size Before Surgery: A
Bra Size After Surgery: C

Reasons for Wanting Surgery: Confidence Boost, Simply to Look Better, To Please a Loved One
Reaction of Friends, Family, Co-Workers: Generally Good
Satisfaction Rating: Regret Undergoing Surgery
Reasons for Satisfaction Rating: Nobody ever tells you it is HARD TO SLEEP on your stomach after getting implants. And massages - forget it! I always have to put a towel or pillow under my breasts now to act as a lever. One time I had a massage & swore that my implant broke from the pressure. It is generally uncomfortable to sleep prone with implants.
Have you undergone any other plastic surgery procedures? no
Are you considering other future procedures? no

Thanks for sharing Kristy!
