Boobs After Explant - Dallas, TX

Positive experience. Medical City Hospital is amazing, nurses were very kind to me. I need extra TLC being out of town without family there with me! Three weeks after explant the hospital has called 3 times to check on me. The en bloc and lift procedure lasted about 2 hours. A tad sore after. Looking forward to healing and getting back to normal.

Yay! Another success with Dr. Melmed! I'm almost two weeks post-surgery and agree with all you have said, TinyMe. :-)

I am sure it is a relief to get them removed!! What differences do you notice without them?

I feel so very light! Clothes I use to spill out of fits perfectly now. I no longer worry everyday about when my next surgery will be. No more double duty sports bras to keep my huge implants compressed to hide them from everyone. Also, my joints used to feel awful, stiff, and sore for the past six months before explant, almost completely gone.

You look great! Dr. Melmed is doing my explant and lift on May 30. I hope I look as good as you! I wish you a restful recuperation.

If you are anything like me the days before explant feel surreal. You cannot go wrong with Dr. Melmed. Do speak up in explaining what results you are looking for if you get a lift at the consult, AND morning of surgery, such as smaller nipples etc. May want to bring an image with you. Every little bit of information helps surgeons. Sending you lots of good vibes 5/30!!! Always available to chat privately if you have any last minute questions.

Thanks, TinyMe. Yes, it does seem a bit surreal. I can't believe my surgery is the day after tomorrow. I've heard such good things about Dr. Melmed, and my experience with him thus far has been positive. I've got virtually no breast tissue, so I haven't really thought about what I want the results to look like -- I've just been relying on Dr. Melmed's skill in molding what little tissue I have into something pleasing! I like the idea, though, of reviewing some pictures and then taking him a few images that I like. Thanks.

You look fabulous!!! So glad you had such good results :) Funny how you're bigger than you were originally, but not huge as with the implants. Age adds some tissue....really, you look wonderful; hope you feel that way, too!

Thanks! It is awesome to have some tissue left. I'd be okay with even less now. I just really want them even and not facing south

Congrats on your fabulous result and thanks for sharing. I'm scheduled to explant my 20+ year old silicon implants on July 25 with Dr. Melmed. I am really excited, not nervous about having small breasts again - only nervous about surgery - so thanks for sharing about your good experience with the staff - makes me much less nervous. Kudos to you for going natural again!!

Thank you! How exciting to them out after 20 years. Lucky you to have Dr. Melmed explant. The hospital staff is amazing too. They called 3-4 times after my surgery to check in on me. Let them know you are scared. The gave me a valium 45 minutes before they put me to sleep. It really helped and they may do that with all his patients, but ask if they don't. Really helped.
