Editor's Note: Debbie had an Explantation (removal) of her breast implants after 26 years and chose not to replace them. Her story illustrates that breast implants can have long lives and that you can have them safely removed if you decide you no longer want them.

Here's an excerpt from Debbie's story. You can read the whole story in our Visitor Stories section.

"I am 5’6”, 150 lbs. 47 yrs old, married, 2 children, and breastfed the first one for only 3 weeks with the implants in. My implants were placed behind the muscle, about 360 cc, smooth and round. The incision was on the crease...

To sum it up, I don’t regret getting my implants for a second. I feel very lucky that I got 26 years out of them with no illness. I feel even luckier to be able to have the choice of having no implants. I hope sharing my experience will help someone else make her important decision."
