I only have some before pics (fronts). My pc kept crashing so I deleted most of the pre surgery pics I took in my bathroom. Mortified that some lowlife would get a kick out of these pictures, I tried to delete what I could. Then my pc died and I was forced to take the tower in for repair. Good thing I do not have the stones to take the pics naked! Could you imagine? I would have definitely had a heart attack :-O I have thousands of pics (most of my fur-children) and I losing those would've been devastating for me. Still, I found there were some of the pre AND post surgery left in my pc. The repair man looks at me funny now :O( Oh, well...LOL

Finally decided on Dr. Ganchi in NJ. After seeing 3 PSs, and talking on the phone with other PS offices, I have a date for surgery :O) I made my decision pretty much a few minutes after meeting Dr. Ganchi. I was shocked that he was so easy to talk too and in no rush to get rid of me. With the other PSs I had seen, I felt hurried and uncomfortable, as if I were somehow intruding. Dr. Ganchi came in and sat next to me as if he had all day to discuss my situation, and I felt that he found my reason for being there as important as I did :O) It then dawn on me why I hadn't been able to choose before and I knew instantly that this IS MY PS! (I even started making plans for future procedures). He walked me slowly through all the whats, whys, and hows that were troubling me. I looked at my notepad, where I had written all my questions and concerns, and realized he had answered all of them. I did have to wait what I thought was a long time to see Dr. Ganchi, but when he dedicated a block of time of his undivided attention to me, I realized how worth it it was to have waited. I'm so glad I found a PS I'm comfortable with and trust and I'm so happy that the looking part of my journey is over. Now I can concentrate on the surgery and the healing :O)

Thank you ;O(How do I FTP to a subdomain? Note: These instructions are for uploading files to your subdomain using the default FTP account. If you would like to create an FTP account specifically for a subdomain, click here for directions. The main reason to create a separate FTP account is if you want to give someone access to this subdomain but not to the rest of your account. If you are just uploading files to your subdomain there is no need to create a separate FTP account. When you create a subdomain of your main domain, a directory is created with the name of your sub-domain. This directory will contain the files that your visitors will see when they enter your sub-domain in a browser. In order to FTP files to your subdomain, you need to first figure out what directory to FTP them to. For example, if your main domain is: milk.com You create a subdomain called cookies: cookies.milk.com The files for that subdomain are in the directory: milk.com/cookies Looked at another way: cookies.milk.com = milk.com/cookies By following this example you can see that when someone types cookies.milk.com into a browser it points to the directory milk.com/cookies. In the above example if you want to change the files that someone sees when they go to your sub-domain, cookies.milk.com, you will have to change the files in the directory, milk.com/cookies. To find your actual directory, go to your control panel and to "Web Hosting Options" and then click “Manage your subdomainsâ€. Under the heading “Existing subdomains†you'll see a list of your subdomains. After the sub-domain name, the name of the directory that the files for this subdomain are in will be in parentheses. This is usually the name of the parked domain. For example, cookies.milk.com (cookies). In our example the directory that you will be uploading files to is called 'cookies'. Now that you know what directory you are going to FTP to, open up your FTP program, or go to the “Online File Manager†in your control panel under “Web Hosting Optionsâ€. Note: If you are using an FTP program (instead of File Manager) make sure to FTP into your main domain name, not your sub-domain name. So, the FTP Host that you would FTP to in our example would be milk.com, not cookies.milk.com. Once you are connected and looking at the directory structure, go into the public_html folder (in "Online File Manager", click the folder next to the name of the folder). Find the directory that you are looking for, in our example, cookies, go into that directory and upload your files. Thank you!

Wow!! Thanks for posting before pics. Did you have a lift? Can I ask what size you we're pre explanation & now? You really do look fabulous. I had a moment earlier this week about what I would look like when the implants come out, but I'm over it & seeing yours & others photos & gives me hope. T minus 10 days for deflation. Yeah!!

Nope, no lift. I was a 32A before the implants. Though I had always been "skinny", I always had "extra meat", I mean I was never bony. So I had somewhat of a cleavage. I'm almost back to that look of 20 years ago. I'm not perky, but not droopy either, not to where I would need a lift. For my age and all my breasts have been through, they're in the right place. I used to lift weights (lightly), but I stopped doing anything that would bulk me up even more then I was already with my implants. I still remained active but not to the extent that I used to, so now after explant I find that I'm not firmed generally. When I start exercising again, I expect to firm up evenly everywhere, including the chest area. I think that will take care of the lift if I were to need one, just in case my breast are still settling or gravity becomes a pest ;O) Have hope! There's lots of it without a lift. Sending wellness and quick healing vibes for you on your deflation day!!!! Yeeepy! You'll be fabulous, you'll see ;O)

Oh, almost forgot. Now I'm still 34B. I was supposed to be 34B after my implants but I was really 34C and some times even those were tight. On my camisoles I used to wear medium, now I can wear SMALLLLLLL :O) Nice!

Here's the look of "al natural" :O) Looking fabulous and feeling wonderful without implants. I don't need a lift, I'm comfortable with the way my chest looks as is. I'm so glad, I feel free and brand-spanking-new.
Thank you ladies for your support, advice, and wishes

Thank you! I feel great and I'm so glad I had the implants taken out :O) My profile pic is a before, in fact my left breast was deflated at the time. It was barely noticeable from the front view. However from the side view, there was a flat look especially from the top of the chest. I'll load up a couple more to see if you can tell better. I can't find side views though. I had deleted most of these pics before I brought my pc in for repair ;O)

Hi, well done you, I'm having mine out next week after only having them for 3 weeks!!! My main concern is that the scar heals well under the crease, how has yours been please? I've seen some whcih look excellent at even 6 months xx
User Avatar

3 weeks only and you're taking them out? You're so brave! I was scared for years. Good for you, you're taking charge ;O) The scar is barely noticeable, it looks like a regular crease. My ps told me to keep the area moisturized and I did. It healed beautifully and I believe that is key to a diminishing the scar 'look'. Later I used coco butter and now I'm using coconut oil. I got second degree burns on my leg a couple of summers ago. I though I was disfigured, it looked like an angry scar on my leg. I put the coco butter in the day and the coconut oil at night and the scar (after all is healed of course) is 90% gone . So I thought I'd do the same with my surgery scar and I like the results.
April 26, 2014
Thank you for that. I know, 3 weeks seems crazy, I knew straight away and I don't feel like I can get on properly with life with them in, of course the surgeon tried to pursuade me otherwise and he is charging but I don't care. I had mine in the crease incision, it's only about an inch or so long and I tend to heal very well, surgeon says it won't matter opening up again so soon, better now that in a few months when I'm much more healed. What he wants me to do though is to wear scar tape, not silicone just plain surgical tape, I've researched it on line and it seems alot of surgeons think it works wonders, stops the scar from being pulled or stretched. My concern is that is doesn't provide an moisture so I'm a bit torn! As ever there are very conflicting opinions online from the experts.

Yeah, reading everything online can drive you up a wall. But don't worry, the tape most ps use must be the same hypoallergenic my ps used on me, the regular tape, and I healed great with it and never felt dry or uncomfortable. I guess the tape keeps the area as moist as it needs to be, not more because remember that it needs to heal and too much moisture will prevent complete closure of the incision and allow infection to set in. I was worried it would come off in the shower, but it never did. After it's healed you can apply a moisturizer. My ps told me to wear a regular, inexpensive, over the counter moisturizer. No need to spend mega buck$ (I almost bought a $75 one thinking it would be better). But of course you know your body and know what creams are okay for you to use. Trust that. And don't forget that the area of the incision is twice as delicate. I can't wear a lot of stuff because my skin is very delicate and I brake out over nothing :O( I bought my moisturizer from my ps because of convenience and because it had no harsh chemicals that would freak my skin out. Otherwise I would have used something soft on my skin and definitively not tested on animals. I wish you faster than quick healing and beauty ;O)

I wanted to write an update for a while, but life keeps happening and dividing my attention, plus I wanted to take some pictures to show off my post surgery look. It's been 9 months since my implant removal and I look great and feel great. I think I look younger too ;O)
I have been updating, painting inside/outside my house, etc. In the hopes of selling it. Very busy and hectic. I'll take pics soon. I just wanted to say that I feel lucky to have found this site, which led me to find MY PS. It was so very worth it to take the time to ask and search. Not only did I find a great surgeon but I found strength and resolve in the support for my decisions here, in the responses (and emails ) from other women who had gone or were still going through the same thing I was. Thanks everybody!!!!

You were right, I don't regret it. I hope women would read all these post before getting implants, it would save them a lot of hard times and $$$$ Sadly, there was no internet when I had mine done. I wouldn't have had implants, I would have bought a swanky bikini and I would have gone to Hawaii with that money

BEST DECISION I EVER MADE! Wish I would have done it, before my 2nd implant (down size). Doc scared me into NOT removing them!

Yup! Best decision for most of us (if not all of us) ;O)
