8 Months Later and Happy

I just wanted to post a couple pics with bras on so you can see the difference of before and after. The main difference is that I'm not full on top like I was with the implants, but I expected that. As the months go on, I continue to feel more and more comfortable with my new (original) self!

7-Month Post-Explant Update
HappierJuly 18, 2013
So I can't believe it's already been 7 months since the surgery! I feel great--I can breathe deeply, my back doesn't hurt anymore, my clothes fit better, and I no longer feel like a [RS bleep] star in hiding. (totally kidding- I hope I am not offending any [RS bleep] stars who may be reading this :)). It is true that I have some stretch marks, they sag a bit, and they are not completely symmetrical (the left has always been slightly bigger than the right). But the bottom line is that I am so much more comfortable in my own skin now that these things don't bother me that much. The funny thing is, my husband likes them more now than before--a pleasant surprise. Overall I am so very happy I explanted and I really encourage anyone who is considering it to just take a deep breath and go for it...It's a journey, but one that I am so glad I have taken. Love to all of you!

You have a nice size without implants . Are you still seeing changes after seven months post opp?
August 9, 2013
Yes, I am still noticing changes as every month goes on. I really noticed a big difference at about the six month mark--they just really started to feel a lot firmer and more fully attached to my chest wall, if that makes sense. For a long time they felt kind of fragile, like I had to be really careful with them. But now, I'd say they feel pretty much "normal" again. And the scars are just a very faint white line now.

My rights firmer than the left so far and my righty has some pulling issues but getting better and it's higher than the left I've been looking at removal photos and seen a few women's boobs turn out this way I hope my ps didnt damage my muscle. Hey how long did it take to feel like your muscles didnt move when you flex ?
August 10, 2013
When I flex, my muscles still look somewhat distorted. This is because when you have implants placed under the muscle, the doctor has to cut part of the muscle. As far as I know, this is can't really be fixed. It's annoying, but I don't spend a lot of time flexing in front of other people, so it doesn't bother me that much :) Were your implants under the muscle? If so, this may be what you're seeing with yours, although I looked at your pictures and they look great!

I keep seeing this everywhere.....so many breasts that look 100 times BETTER without the implants in!! What on earth were we thinking before?!
August 9, 2013
I don't know what I was thinking- I've asked myself the same thing! I really do like mine better now. When I look at old pictures of myself they just look like huge balloons! And to think I kept them in for so long when I could have gotten them out years ago and been so much more comfortable as well!

You look so much better now without those implants! Gorgeous! I'm so happy I decided to only do a lift and not get implants, reading your story helped me

Thank you! And good luck with your upcoming surgery! I looked at your profile and I think a simple lift will be perfect for you! :)

Just wanted to share something nice that happened the other day. When I was out shopping I told the salesgirl I didn't know my size and she said "Well, you look very petite." PETITE?!!! I have not been called petite for YEARS because those huge implants always made me look so much heavier than I actually was! It have to say it was a really good feeling! :)
