Hello girls !!
I am a 36 years old mother of 4 children and 16 years ago i went for my first breast augmentation because i was almost flat chested and my ex-boyfriend gave me that surgery as present so i thought ,why not ?
After that time i did realize that my breast felt much harder than the silicone breast of my friends but i never thought about capsular contracture or had not even an idea about that because at that time there was no internet like now what makes it so much easier to find out about everything .Also my the surgeon made my scar too wide almost 10 cm.
At 22 i became pregnant from my first child and at 24 from my second child ,after each time i quit with lactating i noticed that my breast even became much harder than they're ever felt before ..
I went to the plastic surgeon in Holland where they did removed my breast implant with reimplant new ones (teardrop 265cc) because of the capsular contracture . The surgeon told me better not to get pregnant again to avoid the change on CC ..
After 2 months i became pregnant again and again while my breast where never soft after i quit with lactating (after 2,5 years ) they became hard again like before ..
In the meanwhile i moved to Indonesia where was afraid to do the surgery over there ,so i gave it some some and i became pregnant again ..
After 2 years i quit with breast feeding and of course again CC (with Silimed the polyurethane with 1% change on CC)..the strange thing was while i was pregnant my breast became extremely soft i did not even felt the the implants but after the breastfeeding i had so much pain each time when i lied on my back that i needed to get rid of these implants so soon as possible ..
I felt not safe to do the surgery in Indonesia so i went for the first time back to NL to do the surgery ..The surgeon made a lot of mistakes inside my body and within 10 days PO one of my implants (teardrop) did rotated ..The surgeon was on holiday and the time he came back i was already back in Indonesia ..
I had so much stress the last 6 months that i decided to remove my breast implants here in Indonesia..
Because of removing the implants and CC so many times there was nothing left of my breast tissue .

tears in my eyes
Hi girls !
i am now almost 4 weeks after po and since the swelling went down my breast looks each day more awful and with more wrinkles in my skin , i hate the shape difference between both breast and the inverted nipple ..
I think from feeling strong in the beginning i start kinda feeling depressed right now (poor husband and children)..
Last weeks it cost me at least 1 day to find a bikini but still look like a boy with it and on 1 side of my chest wall i can see a hole under my bikini top my skin on my chest is not even flat on that side ..
All my pretty dresses doesn't fit anymore, i really don't know what to wear next week , it hurts me too see woman with nice breast and sexy decollete and deep inside i can't stand them but i know it's just jealousy..
My left arm can't lift more than 2 kilo because after the surgery my arm muscle was shaking all the time and now all my power is gone (only with bicep curl movements) now i can only lift my child with my right arm ..
If i put my hand on my right breast it feels like my hand disappears in my chest wall i can clearly feel my ribs but no breast tissue at all except loose skin..
Iam sorry for all my complain but at this moment i can't see anything positive behind my tears ..
The only thing that helps me to awakes me of my depressed feelings are the thoughts of very ill/sick people ,for example people who have cancer and going to die or people who live in so much pain each day ,thinking about that does me realize that i have nothing to complain at all because me and my family are still healthy right now thanks to God , and that's the most important thing that really count .. -x-

I'm so sorry this is so hard. Some people take up to a year to return to "normal." Hang in there. You STILL look better without implants than with, deflated or not. Xo

your totally right i still look better with my empty uneven breast than with the old rock hard balls ..thinking about that gives me more hope , thank you ! x

I'm sorry you are feeling so down. But it will get better. There are some padded sports bras out there that will help make your clothes fit better. If you are still unhappy with your look, consider the fat grafting and get opinions from EXPERIENCED surgeons who have done this procedure lots of time. Results are small but worth it. It may take 2 sessions, they usually do not recommend that you put in more than 150 cc at the time You can expect ( if it is done using the correct technique ) that 60% stays. I'm happy with my fat transfer results, I had one fat graft session done straight after explant and one more session 2 months ago. I did not use the brava system which seems to be used by most of the North American doctors.

You have a fantastic figure. Things will get better...give it time and try to distract yourself with other things. I know that's easier said than done. By the way, your abds...WOW!!!

thank you !..
while since i lost my breast everybody tells me that i look so thin ,it is so strange i always weight the same for almost 1 year but after the surgery i lost very quickly 11 lbs ,people telling me i look tired and sick so i need to eat more ..
The problem is if i get more weight i get cellulite and when i loose my cellulite my face look like a old fish ..Life is not fair it's it's not easy to be a woman ..i need to keep my patience for at least 1 year to see the end result of my breast ..x

You are so right....being a woman is very challenging. Men couldn't handle it, lol! You are beautiful. Eat healthy, think healing thoughts and love yourself. I'm struggling, too. It will be 2 weeks Friday and it's been rather all consuming. It's such a small part of who we are (no pun intended!). We'll emerge on the other side of this feeling a renewed sense of self. So grateful for this site and all of you beautiful women.

You look great! Look at some stars with small boobies like Rihanna. You will not feel so alone. I think it's wonderful! I can't wait for mine to be explanted.
I hope you grow to love your body. Being natural has so many benefits. x

Did you have a capsulectomywhen you had your breast implants removed ?
August 23, 2015
The plastic surgeon took both capsules,scar tissue and breast implant out but you need a very experience PS to do capsulectomy because the mine took it also with all my breast tissue and a part of my pectoral muscle ..
August 23, 2015
What do you mean he took your pectoral muscle? How did he remove your pectoral muscle? How is this manifesting? Are you able to flex your muscle at all? What is making you think that he took your pe what do you mean he took your pectoral muscle? How did he remove your pectoral muscle? How is this manifesting? Are you able to flex your muscle at all or what is making you think that he removed part of your muscle?

Omg...i'm sorry for whatever reason this phone kept repeating what I said LOL sorry

You can see it on my pictures ,if you look on picture 4 you see on the left side near my arm pit a big bubble that is a part of my muscle the rest is cut of .I can move my arms and i can do push ups but put my hands together to each other and press you see only that bubble moving the rest is gone from that part .i still have a part of my pectoral muscle on the other side but it's a little piece .My plastic Surgeon told me direct after surgery that he did cut a part of my muscle and my breast tissue (from the little tissue i still had )because it was 'glued together" with the breast capsule or breast implant or scar i can't remember exactly what he said about glued with which one.I can only remember when i saw myself i couldn't stop crying .
August 24, 2015
Sub muscular because i have no breast tissue left as you can see on the picture .On the left side the plastic surgeon made it with that little piece muscle what was still left ,that's why he could only do the surgery with Silimed polyurethane implants because they stick like velcro and do not move after surgery they stay on one place .

((Hugs)) I will probably look the same. Have you seen the talk by Lizzie Valsquez who was voted the world's ugliest woman? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Si_XuKnRcKM&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DSi_XuKnRcKM

I think I will have to watch this daily post op!!

You look beautifully natural. They will fluff...some women took 6 mo to a year for the skin to return to "normal." Hang in there!!
February 27, 2014
i really hope i would be extremely happy if that will gonna be happen ,i just need to keep my patience i think and keep staying positive
January 24, 2014
Sending you good vibes. Thank you for sharing and posting pictures. I am expecting I will look just about the same as you do. I was flat with a little skin before and now they are stretched out it will be like shrinking post nursing where they went from the size I am now (32 d) to a AAA.
We both need to be patient with our bodies. It took me a year or so to shrink and tighten post nursing so I imagine we will have some time to just wait. :-)
