I have Breast Implants, which were implanted 10 yrs ago. I've had pain ever !
Question: And now I have severe pain, swelling in my left breast. I have an appt with my dr to discuss whats wrong and possibly get them out. I was a c cup before, and a dd now. Will I got back to a C, or smaller since there is probably scar tissue they will have to remove? Is the scars from a lift very prominent? Do you think Insurance will cover this, since I am having them removed, and I am having so many problems/pain:?

Implants are guaranteed for life so if something went wrong with them, you're entitled to new implants for free. That is, the implants themselves are free but you still have to pay for surgery. You'll have to check with your insurance company, but either way have your doctor submit a claim, because it's possible they could cover the costs or at least a portion of them.
Don't listen to rude morons like the person above. I have implants too and I love them. Everyone has the right to do as they please with their own body.
I am against breast implants - like women with small breasts. I don't think insurance will cover that - That falls under plastic surgery with has nothing to do with health normal issues. It falls under vanity procedures.
There have been thousands of horror stories about breast implants. One talk show host ended up with her breast breaking apart and appearing all over her body. Now she's all scarred up. If I were you I would get the fake out and not do another thing to my breasts. Vanity can be a horrible thing. btw if your insurance didn't cover to put them in, I'd be surprised if they will pay to remove them. Good luck
