3 months post-explant
Hey all! I had my 3-month post-op checkup last week, so I figured I'd give a quick update.
I'm still loving my boobs and am I'm forever happy and grateful to be free of implants. It hits me periodically that I used to have fake boobs and it just seems so silly now. I love that I no longer have anything to hide.
My boobs look and feel great! I've got a beautiful handful and a lovely shape. I've settled into a 32D in VS. I feel much more proportionate and sexy now.
I just stopped wearing tapes last week! I've started massaging my scars -- the surgeon said to really mash the scar tissue down into my ribs -- and boy, that leaves them pretty sore :/ I'll pick up some silicone scar strips next. Those were awesome on my tummy tuck scars. But like I told the surgeon: If my boobs didn't change one single bit, I still wouldn't complain. I love them!
No regrets! Take your fakies out now if you're debating. xoxo

8 week update
I haven't checked in for a while. Happy new year to everyone! I'm so happy to be starting this year off without torpedo [RS bleep]!
I'm a little over 8 weeks post-explant. Everything is great! Still wearing the tapes for now (I took them off for the latest pics). I noticed that my left breast has a little flat spot where scar tissue has formed under the incision. I also have a tiny bit of excess skin on the lowest portion of each breast due to the long lift incisions I had with my initial BA. I'm okay with both issues. I'll start wearing silicone strips after 3 months and doing massage on the scars. I'm not even remotely interested in having any further surgeries to correct the tiny bit of extra skin. For the time being, plastic surgery and I are DONE, thankyouverymuch!
To my utter shock, I am in a 32D. The fluff fairy definitely visited and, despite how unremarkable my boobs look in photos, I have a nice, full handful on each side. I think that bra sizing has changed since I was young. A D-cup used to be like mondo bazooka melons. Now, the cups on the 32D's I have from VS look like what I'd consider a B-cup. Maybe VS stands for Vanity Sizing, haha.
I hope all my explant sisters are doing well. I do read from time to time, but now that I'm on the other side, I don't comment as much or update as often. But I am thinking of you all and wishing everyone the best, wherever they are in their journey.

Scar revision pics
I changed the tapes on my lift scar revision a couple of days ago so I wanted to get some pics. They are wrinkly but the scar is so much thinner than when I had implants. Dr. Stern said that the skin should smooth out once I stop wearing the tapes. I hope that doesn't make them droop more....We shall see!
I'm still loving my body and breasts. I will be posting updates less frequently, but they say that no news is good news! I hope everyone is doing well in their explant journeys.

Provider Review
Dr. Stern and her staff are fantastic! She was so easy to talk to and never questioned my decision to explant. I felt perfectly comfortable with her and I really preferred to have a female surgeon for this procedure. Pam, her nurse, is so kind and supportive! Lucinda, the patient coordinator, is so warm and welcoming! The office is top-notch in professionalism and care. I still can't believe how little I had to wait for any of my appointments -- all doctors could learn a thing or two from this efficient staff :)
