Unfortunately a lot of plastic surgeons out there do that - say you will hate them once they are removed and you will be deformed, etc. but that just is not true. I have seen a ton of women's pictures in my several years on the supports group and I can say that none of them were remotely deformed. I think some people may go thru a period of depression as it is a big decision and a change in your body but that is normal - just like having a baby - everyone goes thru some degree of that but in order to get better and feel normal again and avoid many possible further complications they HAVE to come out. It may be a little weird at first adjusting but since you haven't had your implants that long (if I remember correctly) it shouldn't be too bad. I had mine for 7 years so it took a little getting used to but I am soooooo happy I had them removed and am starting to regain my health. I was a AA and went to a large C. now I am a small A and am very happy with that!! I have normal looking and feeling boobs again - and yes - they are NOT deformed. I went to my original dr and he gave me the same line of crap about looking horrible, etc., and didn't even need to get a lift. If someone didn't already know I had implants before you could never tell by looking at me now. Immediately after the removal your will look much smaller than you will be - this has happened to most of the girls I have talked to but within a few week/months you fluff back out and look normal again. A lot of times women need a lift but then you are right back where you started as long as you go to a good surgeon that removes the implants properly - that is VERY important.

Good luck!!!
