Hi Ladies, Hope you're all well. I just had a look at the site and there are lots of new women, so hello!! It's great to see. Overall I'm happy that I explanted, it was definitely the right choice for me. I am flat as, and my nipples cave in at times but it's not nothing that can't be fixed. I will wait until the year mark and then do something about them. My understanding is that there is not enough breast tissue to support the nipples so the excess skin or the top of nipple can be lifted to rectify this. I am hoping that I won't need to (but I dare say I will!). I am doing a lot of exercise to build up the chest muscle to help them. I have considered fat transfer, but its too expensive but it would probably solve the issue, again I'll wait and see. I've just been trying on bikinis for my holiday and its amazing how they have changed from when I was flat 10 years ago-or I'm more confident. At times I have thought if I had just re-implanted I wouldn't have had to go through this journey and i'd have some boobs!! Then I just remember how they felt and the pain that I had in the end.
It's so nice to cuddle my son close and to sleep in any position, I feel so free when I sleep now and so much lighter. Implants are big business but I can't believe that big fake boobs are still in demand!! Each to their own, I wish i'd known in my 20's what I was doing to my body. Gone on a bit of a rant there!
I've taken some photo's but they are not too clear or great but they may give an idea. My poor boobs walking around with those heavy bags for 10 years, if nipples that won't behave is the outcome, I feel that its a result really. No muscle just skin to support them. I'm sorry boobies!!

My PS, had been a star. The after care has been great. At my worse, when i asked him about new implants (as i hated my results after, he told me to wait six months to a year and then decide. He is genuine and put me at ease and I'm grateful I chose him. He's not a surgeon obsessed by the big boob look, in fact I came across him as he is known for the natural look. When researching surgeons he had brilliant reviews for implants. Hard to find a surgeon just for explant. He also has a good sense if humour which helps when you go from a C/D cup to an A! Also I panicked and changed dates etc, he called me direct to discuss with me. I can't fault him.

You look beautiful!! Not sure if you remember, but I explanted around Christmas of 2012 and also had a lift as my PS told me that I'd look as though I'd had a mastectomy and probably have a concave chest (terrifying prospect)! I had a wee bit of breast tissue so I'm not completely flat (but I'm flat) and the scars are something that I reconcile on a daily basis... however, I, too, love the freedom of not having the implants. I'm so happy, more active, pain free and hugs with my boyfriend aren't filled with embarrassment. The scars are fading, I call them my battle wounds. The bf says that they are beautiful... sometimes he comments "it is what it is," which is true - the cause and effect of having weights in my chest for 10 years. Whatever you decide to do, just know that at this stage in the healing process... you look great and you've come a long way! Congrats, lady. :)

Hi, I do remember you. Hello and I'm so happy that you are pleased with your results. I was wondering about a lift, but I was told that I have nothing to lift! I dare say a little bit if work on the nipples should sort my issue out - but that can wait, I really don't want any more surgery. I know that a new set of implants would easily resolve my issue- but NO!! Haha. It's a lovely feeling not to have them and here's to battle scars!!

You look amazing! Gorgeous! You've come such a long way. Loving th CK bra. Gives you a fantastic shape. I think you've fluffed more though, compared to your earlier photos. I was chatting with Little Bell a week or two ago, and she came up with a good and interesting point...it could be that by having high profile implants, could do this to nipples. Mine still flop over. I never thought of that and I had a look at my medical records which showed mine were high profile. Food for thought. I will bring it up when I see my surgeon in Sept. You look fab anyways lovely, you have a great time on hol x
P
August 3, 2013
Thank you. I'm not too sure about the high profile theory as mine weren't HP's. I just think it's from the heavy implants in front which wears away the breast tissue. Actually, I never had any breast tissue to wear away!! In a few months when winter starts I will go back to my PS and see what he recommends. I have put a question on here and it does appear to be a simple nipple reconstruction - more expense! I would be interested to see what your ps says. I also think that mine may be because the breast tissue that i have is at the bottom. If i could lift it up it would fill behind the nipple! Overall, I think it's a minor thing and I'd happily live with my nipples rather than the feeling implants gave me towards the end. I did an exercise class yest, and it was great to be able to lay on my front without feeling them. You look fantastic and when you can wear underwire, treat yourself to a decent bra and you'll be amazed at the shape you have xx

Thank you PN. Bra's make all the difference. You look fab in yours. I was chatting to LuvRealBoobsInOr last night and she said the same as you, that its the subglandular position, which has pushed the tissue back. That explains the rippling I had too. In time, I couldve looked like I had tennis ball's stuck to my chest! Thank god they're out! Great news about your exercise class. You sound much much happier :o) x

This is the best review ever! You are so brave! and your result is amazing. I'm getting an augmentation in 36 days but I wanted to see what my potential future was. I feel like now I have a full complete picture. Thanks for that and all the best to you.

Thank you! I know when I had mine done there was very limited info out there. Good luck for your up and coming surgery and I hope you have a great result x

Hey, how are you doing? I've just had a look on net and she looks so much better doesn't she! :o) Its really positive someone in her position, well known and fashion designer, has explanted. Especially for young girls who look up to her x

April 10, 2013
I'm good thanks. She def does look better! Can't believe she denied having implants for so long-they were like balls on her tiny frame!

April 11, 2013
I googled her and not much came up apart from the Daily Mail website. I was just so chuffed to see she looks sooo much better! I can't believe she denied it as it was really obvious. I just can't seem to get my head around the fact that they looked so awfully fake! Really pleased to hear you're doing well x

I've updated profile so it's easier for women of the same stats etc to try and guess outcome. Update; things are improving and I'm very very happy! They have perked up and I'm def glad I no longer have implants. I have more breast tissue than before implants now (not much!) and I wonder if I'd never had them what I would be like. The left is slightly smaller-that's the one with bad CC, it was a different shape in the end with the implants in and was far further south than my right even then! It feels very jelly like at times. I'm still wearing supports bras - guess I feel secure in them and couldn't care less about their size, even squashed. I dread the thought of them growing as they may sag more! ha! I have been massaging-thanks swedishmary who advised me and it's helping. I am taking fenugreek and using the oil- supposed to firm and promote growth-not bothered about growth anymore just want dents in left boob to go. All the ladies contemplating explant, do what you feel is right for you and this site and the women on it are great, they know 1st hand more than the surgeons sometimes. I've updated photos-not great as on camera phone but gives some idea of the change that can happen. They do change. Horray!! :-) x

Oh my, that is such a big difference from a few days to one month! This definitely gives me hope as I think I was about your size and shape, so I know I should be very patient with myself in the beginning. So thank you very much for posting photos, and I must say you look gorgeous! Your boobs deifinitely went from sad looking in the beginnning to irreversibly happy! :)

You look brilliant!!!! I have a lump too and at 5 months PO had a mammogram. Was really scared my tiny uplifted boobies would burst but they were ok! Results said it was common to get scar tissue lumps after breast surgery and it doesn't look like anything bad. Yours look fab! X

are your nipples inverted unless massaged??? I have one inverted nipple that will pop out if helped manually but inverts back rather quickly. Anyone else having this issue??? Any ideas on if it will get better or ideas on how to help it???
P
February 25, 2013
yep, they go inwards and fold downwards. Not sure if I've explained that well! Basically they only do as they are told when massaged! I'm hoping with time they will change. I think it may be because there's not enough breast tissue to push then out? I'm not sure really.
P
February 28, 2013
Did you have your capsules removed? Just wondering as I did and maybe this could be linked to the nipples ?
S
March 1, 2013
yes I did have capsules removed. I see MD in couple of weeks I'll ask about it and see if I can get some info for us.
P
March 29, 2013
Hi, did your PS say why the nipples fold in? Mine are still doing it! Hope you're well x
S
March 30, 2013
he said give it more time and it should get better and to massage. Said pocket needs to heal . If its not better by next visit then he will look further into it but thinks it should work its way out. So I guess I just need to be patient.
P
March 30, 2013
I'll wait then hopefully he's right. It's been 3 months for me and my PS said to wait for 6-12months for final result. I'm not too sure about that one! Did he say it could be because of the capsules being removed? I guess it's a waiting game for us! x
S
March 31, 2013
no he didn't say anything about the capsules. He seemed to not want to say anything much this early on I guess. Like you said I guess we have to wait and see. Its been 3 months for me too. let me know if anything changes for you. Are you scheduled to see your PS again?? I go back in 3 months. oh and by the way are you still wearing sports bra at night???
P
March 31, 2013
I think I'm supposed to go at the 6 month mark, but he's quite flexiable if I need to see him before. If they don't perk up by then I will book an appointment to see what can be done. I'm still in my sports bra during the day (as has padding that can be placed in and it feels secure) at night time im only wearing it occasionally-feels to tight. Still massaging though x
