Hey Ladies!
Hope you are all doing great!
Here is a comparison of my 1-year progress! I never imagined that my boobies would look like this ..much less the fact that I actually have boobs now! Before my implants, I was flat like a wall! I am very happy with my progress but more importantly, I am very happy with MYSELF and who I have become throughout this whole process. I found beauty within me and I stopped being negative towards my body. Boobs don't define me of my worth, not as a person and not as a woman. I always thought in order to be a real 'woman' and be sexy you needed to have boobs. Psshhh not anymore ..Jesus opened up my eyes and showed me that I am worth so much more than that. To those of you who are contemplating on removing your implants, don't second guess it. This is your health and that is way more important that some physical feature. To those of you who came back to the other side and removed those toxic bags out of your bodies, congrats!
God bless you all! Keep your heads up and stay strong! WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL!

Hi iron baby. I had my explant 7 months ago and I still look like you did on day 3. I too pray that God will help me except myself as I am today but I am still struggling as I know there will be no change now. Thanks for your update

Hey Mandyt123! Keep your head up! You are beautiful in every way …don't let boobs define who you are as a person! I'm sure your a wonderful daughter/granddaughter/girlfriend/friend/wife?/mother? …look inside yourself and see all of the beautiful qualities you possess :) I was very lost with myself a few years back but have discovered the true meaning of beautiful and self worth. If you ever need anyone to lift up your spirits, message me! I know what it feels like …been there! God bless you!

I was going to get my 12.5 year old saline implants replaced until I read your posts. I'm only 34 years old and have been getting extremely sick. Please write to me and let me know explant is a good decision.

10 Months Post Explant Results
Iron_BabyJune 3, 2014
Hello Ladies!
It's been a while since I write. But yesterday marked my 10-month anniversary of being implant free! I must say, I have never loved my boobies like I do now. I was so insecure & looking back & reflecting on how far I've come with loving myself is amazing. I love my breast more now than when I had those awful implants.
I have spent thousands of dollars putting them in & taking them out. Big lesson learned!
Hope you ladies are all doing well & for those who are contemplating on removing your implants, do it. Don't wait any longer. Do yourself a favor & free yourself from that burden that you do not need to carry. YOU are beautiful just as God intended you to be naturally. Heck, I even went back to my real hair color. This is me, like it or not this is how God brought me to earth. I will love myself au-natural.
God bless you all! If you need any advice or tips, feel free to shoot me a message :) always happy to help light your path!
Your Sister-in-Christ!

I Felt comforted by your post. I'm having anxiety on my removal coming up & I need to keep reminding myself that my breasts do not define me as a woman. I initially got so excited about explant after reading everyones posts and how they love their natural breasts after removal and seeing their pictures. I wanted that feeling and now I'm just afraid that I actually won't like how mine look or feel as I do remember before implants I couldn't stand the way mine felt and they looked ok but sad. I will accept them, but the thought of just accepting them is not as much to look forward to as loving them. On the bright side feeling comfortable and being all me is something to look forward to so I will try to hang on to that. Thanks for your positive upbeat post on removal :)

Hi 2Happyboobs! Thanks for the comment :) I too felt that way before removal. I am so happy with myself right now. You too will be very happy. The only advice I can offer is the first 3-4 weeks, go easy on yourself and don't be too harsh with comments. Those were my hardest weeks because that is when you are adjusting to your 'new' look or more like 'original' look again lol but take it one day at a time. The most important thing is that you are alive and healthy. That comes before anything else. Keep us posted on your journey.
Sending blessings your way! :)

Good advice and words of wisdom! I am 9 days post removal and very happy with the decision to remove only. Its weird how when I saw my reflection for the first time after how I felt like hey I remember you and felt like me again where my implants felt like a costume, fun sometimes but just not me.
June 3, 2014
I'm so glad you are finally loving yourself for what you are! It's been a long process for me too. I don't want to say that I've been insecure but I've never been happy with what I've got and I think that must be pretty normal from the collective consensus on here! You look great BTW and thank you for sharing your story!
June 4, 2014
Hi the_natural_me! Thanks for the comment!! I think more women are heading back the natural route which is great!
June 4, 2014
I am happy with my explant!!! So very thankful to be natural again. I was also quite insecure when I got my implants. It truly was an expensive lesson to learn. What a dummy I was but life goes on...and I am very happy to be explanted : )
June 4, 2014
Hi Gooberbri! Expensive lesson in deed but I wouldn't take it back because this chapter in my life taught me how to truly love myself and I found out I am much stronger than I thought!
Blessings to you! :)

Concerning your 10 month mark picture...is this how your breasts used to look like before your breast augmentation? Just wondering since I removed my implants yesterday and I am flatter than before my breast augmentation. I only had the implants in for three weeks and decided to explant right away. I just want to be the same size as I used to be. :/
June 4, 2014
Hi notsure123! Actually, my original breasts were a little smaller than this! But considering you only had implants for 3 weeks, your breasts will bounce back to normal in a jiffy! I had implants for 4 years! I am pretty amazed at how mine turned out --- when they removed the implants, I was as flat as a piece of paper! Check out my pictures and you will see. But they start 'fluffing' at 3-4 weeks.
Happy healing & sending blessings your way!! :)
June 4, 2014
Thank you....:) I have read your journey and they do look amazing!! I just can't wait until I have my old breasts back! But I am just a little worried since I am very petite 95 lbs. no kids...and for some reason I cannot gain weight. Did you gain weight after your breast implant removal? Do you think gaining weight would help fluff them up?
June 5, 2014
Anytime doll :) here to help you on your journey!! I too am petite and with no kids :). I didn't gain weight after my removal but recently I did put on about 10lbs from eating out a lot but maybe some of that food went to the ta-tas lol but since you only had implants for 3 weeks, you are going to return to your same breasts in no time! I wanted to remove mine after I got them done but I felt so guilty about all the money & whining I did to get them that I just tried to ride it out. After your removal, maybe try gaining a few healthy pounds and see what that does for you :) but eat good foods, not junk to put on weight. Lessons we learn! Let me know if there is any other way I can help :) blessing to you!!
June 5, 2014
I hope so...I just miss my old boobs so much! :l Also, do you think wearing a compression band or tight sports bra helped fluff your breasts back together? How tight should the compression band or sports bra feel like? Do I wear this 24/7 even to sleep? My surgeon said I only have to wear my compression band for only a week..which will be until Tuesday for my post op visit.
June 5, 2014
Believe me, your boobies will come right back in the blink of an eye! Mine took a lot longer being that I had the implants for 4yrs vs your situation of 3 weeks! I had a compression styrofoam board on my chest for 3 days and then the doc told me to wear the compression sports bra 24/7 for a few weeks. But, in reality the compression bra didn't do much because I was flat lol so there wasn't much to compress! I slept with it on. I only removed it to shower.
June 5, 2014
I just hope to bounce back because it has been very hard on me. Plus, it is very stressful when some surgeons tell you that I will not change while others say I will bounce back. I am trying my best to be positive and praying that I will bounce back just like you did :) If my surgeon tells me that it is not necessary for me to wear a compression bra anymore at my post op on Tuesday...should I follow his advice? Or should I decide to wear one at least for a few weeks? I just want to do whatever it takes to get my old boobs back. :/
June 7, 2014
Believe me, you will most definitely bounce back. You had your implants only 3 weeks. That is hardly any time at all compared to my 4 years!! Keep that in mind! I would follow whatever instructions your PS gives you. I followed my PS's advice which was to stay compressed for a few weeks but then again, 4 years of stretched skin needs to be held tighter for longer compared to 3 weeks! Stay positive and remain in faith. God performs miracles for all of his children, remember that.
June 7, 2014
Thank you...I will do my best to keep a positive attitude through this time of my life :)
