32 Year Old Explanting 12 Yr Old 275 Cc Salines Under the Muscle - Dallas, TX

So... I'm so happy I had the implants removed. It doesn't bother me to be small chested anymore. I look thinner and it matches my petite frame so much better. I actually feel more delicate and feminine. However, I do think I wish I would have went a different route. After giving myself a year to heal and for the skin to retract and tighten, I'm not fully happy. I wish I would have had a lift. They have dropped quite a bit and there is too much excess skin. I wanted to badly to not need one and to forgo the scars. I saw so many beautiful results where everyone's tinies popped back into place and the skin was taunt. I should have know after nursing 2 babies for a total of 3 years in top of 12 years of implants was going to leave me with extra skin and droopiness. Dr melmed do the crescent lift and internal lift. My nipples are higher, but they have been stretched from the incision. Plus his incisions really are sloppy. One of my scars blends very well (left side) the other is very crooked and has a bubbled part on one side ( right side) it is also puckered more and pulls on the skin and makes my stretch marks more prominent. When I lay down is probably my biggest concern. They dent in and pleat where the puckering from the incisions are. There is just too much extra skin. My plan is to go see Dr. Hubbard in Dallas for a consult on 2 weeks. I actually consulted with him before my surgery a year ago and liked him a lot. Honestly I just wanted to get out of the scars from a full lift. I'm pretty upset with myself because I will pretty much have to pay the same amount for a lift that I did for the whole explant a year ago and I could have just used Hubbard and had it all done in one go. But I guess I would have always wondered how well it would have turned out without a lift. So my journey continues...

Feel so much better. Love the way I look in clothes. Getting more comfortable with how they look outside of clothes. Still not happy with how they look when I lay down :( skin wrinkles bad. Not sure if it's from the nursing or combo of the implants stretching the skin and nursing. Not happy with the shape of my nipples. The incisions were a little sloppy. However for me, I prefer them to the anghor lift scars. My left nipples also points outward but it did that a tad after nursing two babies, just does it more so now. Oh well

I've had so many ups and downs with healing from implant removal. I don't mind being small at all. I love how most clothes fit me so much more. I have good days and bad about the healing of my nipples ( I had a crescent lift) that are not even and one points outward a little. I did notice that in my before explant pics that it had started to a little after nursing but it's much more so now. I'm hoping time will help with those little issues. I also have major issues with lying on my back. My breast are wrinkly when I lay down. My surgeon says to give it time that it takes time for skin to retract and tighten. We shall see. They are far from perfect but I'm happy with them upright. Especially having nursed for 3 years of my life. I'm hoping they get better and better because getting implants again is not happening!! I'm so happy to be rid of all the tiredness, joint aches and brain fog!!!
