It has now been 5 1/2 weeks since my surgery. I have been working out 6-7 days a week for the past 3 months. My boobs have basically gone back to pre implant state. They are still 2 different sizes, my right is smaller than my left. This used to bother me but now I embrace it and love it. I went shopping over the past couple weeks for swim suits and new bras. I am so happy with the results, my scars look better than they did with the implants in and you can barely notice them anymore. I really am so happy that I went thru with the surgery and am looking fwd to seeing how much more I heal over the coming months. My inverted nipple I was worried about for the most part has corrected itself. If you are unsure of if this is something you want to do or not, I would say go for it!! I get compliments all the time about how my natural boobs fit me so much better.

I'm so happy to see that there are doctors out there who will actually treat you like a human being when going in to explant without replacement! The first doctor I asked, completely refused saying i would be "deformed". The second doc (the one who put them in) said he would do it and that the other guy was stupid for saying that. But when I actually went in to remove them April 2009, the girls in the doctors office said that they had never seen anyone who got explanted and didn't put new ones in. They started asking me why! I was like, "it's none of your business why"! Overall, I'm ecstatic I did it like you and I'm 20 years your senior...I think it's great to get the word out to gals that explant is most definitely NOT the end of the world! PS: You look awesome. I went from 34 A to 34 (small C) back to my 34 A's and couldn't be happier! ;o)

You look great. It's amazing how they go back beautifully. I regret getting a lift. It's only been 5 days for me and I hope my take a good shape.

Thank you Julie, I hope your outcome is what you had hoped for : ) It takes time for our bodies to heal and settle into place.

I am now 12 post op and am absolutely thrilled with the results of my surgery and my boobs. They are almost fluffed to what they were prior to ever getting implants, and the scars have healed wonderfully. I get my stitches removed today, I cant wait to not have to sleep on my back anymore, and be able to fully enjoy a shower. I do however think I have spitting stitches in my left boob, which is what happened when I had the breast augmentation. I shall know more after my appointment which is in an hour. I cant wait to be cleared to work out, so I can get back to my regular self. I am so happy with the decision I made, I just wish I would have had the implants removed earlier and not been so unhappy all this time. It really is crazy how much smaller a person can look without having the huge uncomfortable implants in.

I am now 6 days post op and this are going smoothly. I quit taking my pain killers two days ago. The downside of taking them is the constipation. I was sick all day yesterday and didnt go to work. I have now switched to Motrin to help with the pain. I am feeling pretty good and love my natural real boobs. I am posting a new picture 6 days post op and a pic of the bra I got that I love. Cant wait for the stitches to come out.

Thank you so much for all your posts Lilistar. It's really encouraging and you look fantastic! :)

Hi Lil star, you look great! I was wondering if you would be comfortable sharing the name of the plastic surgeon who did your explantation? I live in LA and recently came to the decision to get my implants removed as well and would like to start going on consultations in the next couple months. I've had mine a lot longer than you (15 years), so I will probably need a lift. But hearing your story is inspirational and makes me want mine out even more! Thanks!

Hi there! So glad to hear my story has inspired you. The surgeons name is Dr. lussier in Valencia. He was actually referred to me by another girl on this site that had her explanation done thru him. He's really nice and very affordable compared to my original dr who put the implants in that's located in Beverly Hills. Let me know if you have any other questions. Best of luck to you :)

YAY! This is the doctor I am going to see for my explant. Thank you for your story, I feel completely comfortable now :)
