WORTH IT$1,000
Hi all! I just wanted to post an update and let you all know how I'm doing after one week. I'm already exercising and and completely pain free. I had my one week check up today and everything is healing beautifully. I still have surgical glue along the incision line but once that comes off on its own I can start putting scar treatment stuff on. I can sleep on my stomach now and it feels so different now that my implants are gone, it feels so amazing. Even stretching and hugging feel different and way better now that my implants are gone. I feel like a new person and have way more self confidence already! I posted two new post-op pics. I'll update again in a little bit!

Okay! So today is day 3 and I feel really good. I wasn't given any prescription pain meds but I haven't had too much, but take ibuprofen for pain and swelling when I need to. I also have been taking a more natural and herbal alternative, it's called arnica. I recommend this to anyone who has just had surgery or may be recovering from an injury. You may need to order it online but it should also be available in any health food store. Make sure it's okay with your Dr. In some cases your Dr. might even tell you to get it. The day after surgery I had the most pain and it was hard for me to sleep. I was sore and the incision sight was sore of course. Today I woke up and was able to stretch my arms and had no pain at all. I'm taking it easy but I really want to go running or something!! I posted a few after pics. I still need some time to adjust to the size, I feel like they look bigger in the pictures. I'll keep updating every couple of days. And I also wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes! Cheers!

Yours look amazing after!!! It's like nothing was ever done. Maybe it looks so nice because they were only 200cc. I have 375cc starting with a 34A and I don't think mine will look just as nice. I've seen so many people with a slope after that swoops down :(. I have a feeling mines won't be so beautiful as yours. I just got mine done last week and I haven't stopped crying since then. My eyes look like a toads from crying. I hope they get smaller so that there's not so much skin stretched out and when I explant it doesn't look so ugly. I'm only 23 so having ugly breasts for a lifetime will do idk what to my self esteem. Have fun with the new you!!!

Thank you! It was really depressing seeing my chest right after surgery because I forgot what I looked like before I had implants, kinda sad! But now after a few days I'm adjusting and I am so happy to be free and real! Don't cry :( just remember that everyone heals differently, if you haven't had kids yet you can look forward to your boobs hopefully growing during that time, that's my only hope for bigger breasts now haha! But I do love my small chest! You're still young, don't waste time being sad, be happy! Life is too short

You look fantastic! I agree with the comment below, you can't even tell you ever had implants.. you don't have a deflated look at all! Congrats on being implant free! You look awesome!

Thank you! It's nice to hear people say that, it's different when you look at yourself in the mirror you know? Now I can't wait to smooth out and take care of the scars.

You look so good! I'l be getting mine out soon, and I'm starting to freak out about how they will look like. I had an awful dream last night that I had them out and there were no scars on the breasts, but I had a long scar across my neck...LOL
I'm glad it's over for you. Take it easy so you can recover properly! Is that arnica in pill-like form?
February 20, 2013
Thank you :) I had nightmares about taking mine out too! It would be nice if the scars could completely disappear. I'm trying to stay put and get rest. Arnica comes in a dissolvable pellet form, tastes like candy, or there is also a gel that can be rubbed on. I have both and it works wonders, lots of vitamin c will also help with bruising as well, just don't exceed the recommended amount.

You look so great!!! Congratulations!!! It´s amazing how good your breasts look without having a lift. I hope I will be strong enough to do this step also in the coming weeks. Thanks for giving me hope!!!

Awesome. I'm having mine removed under local anesthesia in 3 weeks :) and hoping my result will be even 1/2 as good as yours. You look great, and I think you made a great decision removing them.
February 20, 2013
Thank you! I'm pleasantly surprised how well the surgery turned out for me, I'm so happy I did it. Good luck with your surgery, 3 weeks will pass in no time and you'll feel amazing afterwards!!!!!

Well in about 2 hours I will be implant free!! I'm getting a little nervous about the local anesthesia but I'm sure it will be fine, I have experienced worse..I think! I'm going to post a few more pics before with a bra on. I'll update again when I'm all done and home. Wish me luck!
