You look great! I am planned to have explant/lift with Melmed in October. But I'm second guessing the lift part. Can I ask if you had a lift or just explant? You look so fantastic and I want to make the right choice

This post has helped me the most! I am 1 week post explant and feel I look most like you. Just helps me to stay focused on the long term goal.

I think you will be happy in the long run! Stay positive but most of all patient!!! You saw my results and I'm even better now. I will try and post again with a pic. Melmed told me it was a 2 year process and he is right! Sending good thoughts your way!

What doctor did you use here in Dallas? Would you recommend them? 50 yr old with 18+ with symptoms of multiple things like joint pain, ect.

Meant to say: JOINT PAIN 99% GONE

One day I realized my joint pain after long rides in car etc., sitting at my desk, not doing yoga etc. is 99% gone! Coincidence? I think not!!

Thank you for your update. I am explanting next week and it is so good to see so many women that still feel happy with their explants months (and even years) down the road. I'm so scared and still am second guessing myself but stories like yours give me such hope. Thanks you! Happy healing!

Hi can you tell me what brand of bra that is pictured on 7/5/14. I'm having all sorts of issues trying to get one that fits and doesn't ride up. Thanks for all of your comments too. I'm at one month, making progress, and your notes have helped.
July 10, 2014
Yes, sorry! I meant to include that it's a bra made by jockey. Very comfortable!
