Yes, I did feel them move when I had the implants in, but the feeling was different. When I flexed I could see the muscle separation too, it looked really weird. I think now that I have the implants out, I can notice the muscle a little more i think, but only because I think its trying to heal. You cant see any separation anymore. Im sure in a few weeks that feeling will go away. I was reading you review and all I can say is go with your gut. When i first got my implants in they looked perfectly symmetrical, NOT like they did when I finally decided to get them out. After a few years because of the weight, they begin to shift and droop. I had hated mine from the beginning. I asked for a big C small D and I came out an F... I would have explanted sooner If i knew it was an option.....

1 month of being implant free

crys050September 23, 2013
I didn't realize it was already a month since my surgery. Im feeling great! I get sore pains every now and then. I am able to go for walks, not to brisk though because I'll end up sore the next day. I cant want to go running again. I am now able to sleep and my sides and stomach without issues. I still fell pain if i pull on something with resistance or if I push something to heavy. I can definitely feel my pecs move. It is such a weird feeling. My boobs have been shedding like crazy the last two weeks. I wonder if its my body getting rid of extra skin or something, hopefully. Anyway, still happy with my decision to explant. Happy healing ladies!

I woke up on my stomach today!

crys050September 20, 2013
So this morning I wake up and I'm realizing something is way different. I move my face to glance around and it's in the pillow. I suddenly realize... Holy ish...I'm sleeping in my stomach!!! I very quickly freak out and flip over and inspect my boobs. Everything is fine! My husband is already awake for work so I run to him and scream "I slept on my stomach! I slept on my stomach!" This may not be surprising to most of you, but I haven't slept on my stomach in years!!!!!! Thank Goodness for being implant free!
