Getting Implants Removed After 7 Years! - Bristol, TN

So every week I'm noticing changes. They draw up a little more every week. I'm loving my shape. I love wearing shirts and not having these things bulging out from the sides into my arm pits.

I did try to go for a run on Wednesday and was getting some pain. Nothing horrible but enough for me to say I don't want to jeopardize my healing process. Tuesday -Thursday they were painful when any pressure was put on them. I couldn't lay on my stomach. Not sure if it was a hormonal thing or what? Anyway they are better now!

Your story gives me hope. I'm looking to get mine explant and I have an appointment this Thursday with a PS. I'm hoping all goes well because I'm ready to get these 9lbs bowling balls off my chest. Looking good and I'm wishing you the best during your recovery.

Is the fluff fairy visiting yet.? I think I have a ways to go..im still in that square shape.
September 14, 2014
No I haven't really noticed it. Husband swears they have gotten a bit bigger though so I guess there is still hope.

Noticing more changes

CatawampusHalo
So I've went a few days without scrutinizing the girls but when I looked today I noticed more changes. Before surgery I never really had a crease below my breasts and it looks like they are shrinking up to go back to that. I hope they don't shrink much more or my scar is going to be hanging out in my rib cage.

This doesn't bother me but I also included a pic that shows how I still have animation deformity.

WOWZA - you look fantastic!!!! You look amazing - you could be the marketing model for explanters! I know those of us who are much older will not get those results but I am SO pleased for you! Now that animation deformity thing...what is this? I don't understand...are you trying to isolate your pecs and move them? Because if that's it - just don't do that - LOL!
September 2, 2014
Yeah. That's why it doesn't bother me. I don't do that in public obviously (unless I'm working out, but then who notices under clothes? ). I just wanted to include it because I've seen people asking questions on here before about whether explanting cures animation deformity. Thank you for your kind comments! It's already starting to feel like implants were just a bad nightmare I had, never part of me at all.

Looking better every post. .what is animation deformities?
September 10, 2014
Animation deformity is just when muscle movement distorts your breast shape/implant

Before/After

I made this before/after with my picture from yesterday, 6 days post. I just can't believe that was even me before. They were enormous! And that was just with 350 cc implants!

My dog jumped up on me last night and hit my right boob. I had some stinging sensation in it after and a bit this morning but seems to be fine.

Can you feel a real difference in the chest pressure and weight being gone? Is shoulder and neck pain decreased?
August 30, 2014
Wow, You looked incredible!! I hope my results will have similar results. Thank you for sharing, this is really helping me move through this process.
August 30, 2014
Yes. I used to get tight neck muscles followed by headaches. While I had a headache for a few days after surgery it wasn't connected to any tight neck or back muscles. It feels great not to have that pressure pulling them down any more!
August 30, 2014
Great i hope that the tightness in my chest goes away also...ive had it from day one since my implants. It zaps my energy.
