Well, tomorrow will be 4 weeks since explant. Every time i put my clothes on I smile. No more big, fake boobs to get in the way. A few people from work told me I looked as though I lost about ten pounds. I didn't reply, just told them I had lost a little weight. tee hee. Which was no lie, because I think those darn implants weighed about 3 pounds. Anyways, my incisions are still a little sore, and I started taking long walks. I usually work out alot but decided to take my doctors advice and am waiting until the six week mark. Until then, its nice to let my body heal and rest. If you contemplating having your implants removed, I saw go for it. I started thinking about it 6 months after I got the implants, and now everyday I realize what a good decision it was to remove them. I guess some folks just aren't meant to have them.

Yes I am 4 weeks tomorrow and I could not be happier! The funny thing is- I have boobs- no they are not perky but they are also not heavy now, my arms don't bump them and they are natural!!!! I look back and I wonder why I ever got them now.
Its funny because my arms would bump by old boobs too. I love not having that feeling anymore.
Hi rightaroundcorner, Thank you so much for sharing your personal journey on your implant removal. I am going in in less than 12 hours ( 7 am tomorrow 3/15/13) and as nervous and scared as I am, i am sooo thankful that I have found this community. I will be plotting my journey for others like so many of you women on this site. I am at peace with my decision and know in my heart ( especially with the help of yours and so many others who have posted) that this is the right decision. I will pray for a quick but clean and precise surgery and cannot wait till they are 'OUT'. Please let me know how you continue to progress. Thank you again.
I pray your surgery goes well. I was nervous prior to, but felt fine afterwards. Not too much pain and fast recovery. Keep us updated.
Hi! You look fantastic! I got mine out about 10 days ago. Still wrapped up in a tight bandage for compression. Had capsulectomy on both sides and drains. I feel great too. They're small but at least no more surgeries and doctors down the line yay! Thanks for sharing your stories and pics!
You look great.
Utterly gorgeous x

Well, I've been back to work for three days now and no one has said anything. I really didn't expect anyone to ask about it, since its not something you ask someone. I am healing okay even though my incisions are still pretty sore. Sometimes if I lift my arms too high, I feel a pull so I guess I will continue to take it easy.

Wow beautiful results!!!
Thanks for answering my question about the fluffing, now looking at your pics again mine have that similar look, very tired at the tip all slopey and I see over time that look goes away. whoo hoo! Thanks again. It really helps in this process to know you are not alone in it.
Yes, I am two weeks post op now and they look even better. Each week they seem to get firmer and less jiggly too.

Okay gals, its been a week since the surgery and I feel fantastic! I just took it easy all week and have done exactly as the doctor ordered. My incisions are healing, although he put more tape on them to keep for another week. My natural breasts feel so soft and nice. They are firming up each and every day. They are still sore to the touch and when I raise my arms I can feel a little discomfort but overall I am happy with the results. I guess my left breast raised up after the surgery and the implant was weighing it down, because as you can see from the picture, the incision is lowered. It wasn't like the first day after surgery. It doesn't bother me though. I love that when I walk my arms don't bang against my big fake boobs anymore and I can zip up jackets. I go back to work on Monday. I am not sure how to explain it to my coworkers. Maybe say nothing and let them think what they will I guess but its pretty noticeable that I am alot flatter.

I must say you look amazing! Who cares what your co-workers think! What matters is how you feel, and if you feel good in your own skin, that's all that matters. I've been actually wondering too, going from D to A cup, my co-workers will probably notice it too, but I don't think they will dare to say anything. Anyway, I'm kinda curious if you get any comments on Monday. Keep us updated. Thank you for sharing! :)
yes. I will let you know if anyone asks. I don't think I would ask anyone if I noticed they were different but i am sure they will have their "thoughts" about what happened. I plan on keeping it to myself. The only two people that know about the implants and removal is my husband and best friend....and she lives out of state.
You look great and from what I have read your results will continue to improve. So happy for you. I too am struggling as to what to say to people that don't know about my implants. If they ask, the truth is always best. I have hidden behind the implants for so long that I want to be totally free of them.
you look fantastic. Im 5 wks post and nobody has commented about the change of my size. I was secretive about them and am glad I don't have to hide my beautiful Boobs anymore :-)
You look beautiful! People will just think you look thinner! That's been my experience! Nobody asked where my enormous jugs went. :) So do you feel it's "worth it?" or still "not sure?"
I think its worth it for sure! I have no remorse about having them removed. None. I look better, feel better and can't wait to fully heal so I can get back to working out without those implants.
awesome! enjoy your new boobs! lol
I think people may just think u have lost weight, they may not realize what it is that is smaller. They will just see you smaller . That's the reaction I'm getting.
