Hi, Just thought I'd do a quick update, its been 5 months now and I think in the last month the boobs look better. My left side is dragging behind the right a bit in terms of filling out. When I look down I can see they have filled out a bit at the sides. My areola sill has a bit of a fold but not as bad as it was, they look better when im cold so glad its winter ha. When im hot - that when the fold is more noticeable.
I still dont have feeling in some of my left breast and feels a bit hollow- its interesting, when i have goose pimples - I dont get them on the area I have lost feeling, so there is definitely some repairing underneath that still needs to happen.
I still get the dent when I lean to the side - I guess thats where the tissue was forced into a certain position - maybe this will improve in the next 6 months. Its hard to explain but when i lean forward, instead of them falling like little triangle..they are kind of like little rectangles if that makes sense - again I guess this is where the tissue has been squashed
I was considering a small fat transfer behind the areola to help the fold - but not going to do anything until I see my 1 year mark. They have already changed when I was thinking about the fat transfer so will wait and see, dont really want to mess with them anymore
I am happy I had my implants removed for sure, I feel alot better without them :)

My breast and full nipple sensation took nine months to come back. I am still seeing changes this far out. Be patient:-)

Yes I saw you update - great news. Certainly is a long process isn't it.

had you lost nipple sensation AFTER B/A?or do you mean nipple sensation after explantation surgery (which is common and temporary?)

I lost feeling in my left breast after my first BA (not so much in the nipple, but the area by the cleavage....it hasn't come back yet but i think its still trying to repair x

Following on from my last post - this is what I was trying to describe, when I lay on my side all the tissue falls to the side and im left with this scooped out bit where the implant was...anyone else get this and what happened with time? did it get any better?x

I had a lift with my explant and my boobs have that hollow area when I feel around or when I move in certain positions. My right more than my left and mostly when I lay on my right side. It's so weird but doesn't bother me.

I think it will just bother me in certain situations (if you know what I mean ;) ) would you say yours has improved a bit with time or stayed the same?x

Thanks so much for sharing. They look great honestly! I mean when u lay down they might bother you but standing like that geez I hope mine look like that if I decide to explant. Thanks so much for sharing n giving courage.

7 weeks post op, thoughts welcomed

Hi ladies, I'm now 7 weeks post op tomorrow, some days seem better then others. I have noticed firmness improving when I massage which is good. When I cup my hands over my breasts, I can feel the dent still where the implants use to sit. My left side is smaller then my right, Im not sure if this is because I have less tissue or because it's lagging behind the right side - but it does feel emptier, especially around the center line. I lost feeling in that area - and it hasnt returned yet.
When I was laying on my side earlier topless (which I don't normally do as I'm always wearing a bra) I looked down and my left side especially, looked really odd - all the tissue was sagging to one side and the dent where the implant had been placed looked huge and very noticeable, like a massive scoop taken out! If any ladies further on down the line then me had the same thing - did this get better - even after 7 weeks? bearing in mind I'm an A cup so I don't have loads of tissue. I tried to take a photo but it doesnt show what Im talking about.
My areola's still have a fold under the nipple, will be interesting to see if this improves with time. When Im cold I also get some funny hard bits at the top of the areola. I have to keep reminding myself 7 weeks isn't that long in terms of healing, its frustrating. I have added some more pics, they definitely look better in photos x
