It has been a year since my surgery and since my PS told me my breast would stay deflated and he best option would be more implants!
My breast are healing till this day. I have some nipple issues but I had started to see the problem with one nipple while I had implants so I think it has do more with previously nursing. Overall my little C cups are awesome. I am thankful that I went through with the surgery. The skin retracted nicely. I use vitamin E, coconut oil and massage my breast every day. I am also wearing a fitted sports bra to bed every nigh. I currently wear a no wire bra from VC, size 34c. Sure I don't have the volume that I did with implants but my bra does the trick. Overall feeling blessed!

It has been almost six months and let me tell you...

It has been almost six months and let me tell you ladies it has been an emotional journey but with a light at the end of the tunnel. I have seen my body recover in ways that amaze me. I still to this day feel weird sensations in my breast and know that I am still recovering and have yet more healing to do. I can't wait to see my lovely little breast at the one year mark. I feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. I love not feeling fake. I also like the idea of no more Breast surgeries. I feel healthy and walk with my chin up. I feel more proportionate.
I still have nothing against implants they were simply "not me" at all.
The weird part is that I think implants are out of style. More and more women are opting to embrace their natural gorgeous selves, I admire that!

Oh wow, Flora! You are looking fantastic! What a major change! SO perky!!! I still have some odd sensations/ tenderness in my boobs too and I'm a month behind you. Mine are mostly from my incisions, though. Healing takes so much longer than we like to think it does! Thanks for updating chica! :-)

Today is my third week since my explantation....

Today is my third week since my explantation. Things have changed and continue to change daily. My breast seems to be improving but still have indentations from the implant. My breast are wide but hopefully that will sort itself with time. Overall, I am happy without implants but not sure what I will do in the future. For now, I am going to give my body time to heal. I feel really great in some clothes but others are simply depressing. The bra issue continues to annoy me but I guess it doesn't matter as I have to wear a fitted sports bra for a while. I am doing everything to try to promote breast tissue healing, changed my diet, hydrate, massage and fitted sports bra. I hope that with time and prayers I will not need the small implant. Thank you to all the ladies who have suggested that I wait and who gave me hope, I would have been back at my ps's the next day if it weren't for you all.... Xoxoxo

flora, they look awesome! it has only been 3 weeks and soooo much change! i think mine might look similar to yours when removed, but with a lot of skin on the bottom from sag! i do not think you need implants at all! maybe just gain a few pounds? :-)

NervousGirlie - I think mine looked the way they do because I had them implanted by way of TUBA. I also do not have the greatest genes when it comes to healing. And not to mention, I had two pregnancies with implants. You may look a lot better and your skin may retract a lot better than mine. Good luck! Xxxx

Oh my God, I am so happy to see you looking this great!!! This means you will think you look wonderful in no time at all! Give it another month! Keep massaging! It is really making a difference for me. Exfoliating also. I am so happy for you! Show them to your husband. You'll feel so much better when he likes them.

Bye implants, I am exfoliating daily. I am doing this collagen cream also. I don't have guts to show them to my husband. :( Maybe in another month. It is so sad, I use to feel sexy and walk around with my t and feel 100% confident and now I try ovoid any attention to my breast at any cost. Xxxx....

you need to learn to love your breast once again it is an important part of the healing process, "love and accept yourself" It took me a long time to realise that but now I do [RS bleep]

What a difference a day (or two or three) makes, lol. They are really starting to fluff up and heal very nicely!!! I'm so happy for you. Am sure you'll be looking fantastic before you know it. Hugs.

Wow, there's such a difference from the first explant photo to the last! I think this is going to work out for you, even though it might not seem like it now. There's so much the body can do on its own, you just have to give it a chance to heal. A big hug to you!
