Ok, so I am a couple days out and feeling very emotional at times. I just keep having to tell myself that it will take time to heal. My breasts feel and look soooo saggy. I guess that even though I did not like the outcome of my breast augmentation, I did not realize how much self confidence I had with my large breasts. That sounds so weird because I thought they were way too big, but having none makes me feel so blah. On the other hand, I went to a spin class today and that went fine, sweat and all. I am so grateful not to be recovering from an anesthetic hangover. I just slipped a gauze strip with neosporin under my sports bra and spun away!
I am having some weird air pocket noises on my left side when I move. This side was my "problem" side that the implant always slid over to the side on, so it does not surprise me. Has anyone else had this? It is not swishing, but like if you would try to make your armpit fart with your hand ( I wish I could think of another way to describe it) but internal. It happens more when I am wrapped in my gauze rather than just wearing the sports bra.

Could it be air in the pocket where the implant was taken out???? OR : Do you know if they filled you up with air (gas) like they do on many surgeries ( like gall bladder surgery) so they can see in tiny places with their instruments??? Thank you of your doctor's info. Keep us posted.....I hope yall all bear with me; I'm so much older than all you girls; but it's good to have a young mind and eye on these situations.

No, I was not full of air because he literally just pulled them out. They slid right out. I guess if it is air then it will go away???? The Dr told me not to worry so I guess I will try not to!

Ok, I had my procedure today. It was under local and it was not painful at all! I took a valium around 45 min before and that really helped a lot. I am wrapped up like a mummy and I have to say it is very strange! The incisions feel a little sore, but NOTHING like the original BA.

good for you Jaxchk!!!! I had mine removed Jan 4th and I'm very small but very happy!! Hope you have a great result.

Hope you have a restful night and speedy recovery. Do you mind sharing with me the name of your doctor ? Did I read correctly you chose one in Austin? I've seen two and haven't been very impressed; and I need to make some more appointments in Austin. I also sent you a message. Thank you in advance

Dr Caridi was my surgeon. He wanted to replace and lift, but of course he did the explant as I wished. I am pleased with him and his staff is very helpful. I recommend him.

Awesome - congratulations! Yep, sooo many of us have the same story as you. Good job sticking to your original goal of getting those big bags out!
January 16, 2013
Omg awesome congrats! We have such similar stories! And I am explanting next week under local (jan 24) and I will be taking a Valium before too!! I'm so excited !! I have terrible neck and shoulder pain and hope it subsides after! Also chest tightness and I am athletic and I feel they are making my chest always tight! (Under muscle). So happy for you!!! Can't wait to see your explant pics!!!

Needing to explant; one has ruptured. I also have mega shoulder/+sh blade pain. This pain only started about a yr ago; so not sure if it's related to impants or not since MRI does show bone spurs in neck...hard for me to believe all this pain could come from the neck when my neck doesn't hurt. My implants were the smallest one made so I don't think it comes from the additonal weight and seemed to be fine for many years. Also seems strange that the left is the one ruptured, but the pain in on the right shoulder? Anyone have a doctor tell them sholder/blade pain can come from a rupture?
