anticipating getting these toxic bags out...- Woodland Hills, CA
UPDATED FROM znikie
ITS BEEN FOREVER...

Since I last updated... So much going on and first I would like to say, although my boobs are not perfect, I LOVE THEM.. Just having the feeling back to normal is a blessing. My left nipple looks as if it is melting off and drooping no matter what I do but at the end of the day they are pretty much even and I never wear a bra... Oh you do not even know how awesome that is... I LIVED in sports bras and now I feel amazing! I could not of done it without any of you and the support of my now husband :) We got married on July 19th and it was perfect! He can actually touch them without me cringing. The best decision I have ever made!! and for those Dr that told me I needed a lift... They can go shove it up their a**! Seriously... I mean I could of listened to them and spent thousands of dollars. I cant imagine all that do actually listen to them and go through with it. Natural is the best feeling ive felt in a long time! Photo taken just now! To all of you thinking of getting rid of your toxic bags, I say DO IT and do not look back. You will love the way you feel!

Im totally freaking out. All of a sudden my boobs did something weird and now they are all wonky again. Its like my left one completely shriveled up... What happened and what happened to my nipple?? will it go back to normal?? I loved them 2 weeks ago... Can someone tell me this is normal and they will fluff out like they were 2 weeks ago?? Help is this what they meant when they said I will need a lift?

All sorts of weird stuff is going on inside your breasts. The nipple will pop back out: you will look amazing. You're not nearly done healing. . Hang in there!!

Same thing happened to me!!! I was literally just talking to my husband about it and came here in hopes of feeling better :/ Like he said... we are healing and who knows how much our breasts will change over the next year. We are both only 3 weeks out... I'm really hoping it's just an early phase.

REALLY sbella?? What happened?? Both breast or just one. I looked on your profile in hopes of seeing a photo... Ive also tried reaching out to others who may have this problem but I havent been lucky in finding anyone. I hope this wasnt a mistake on the Dr. Part... This literally sucks. Im feeling exactly the way I did before but without implants. ... Im freaking out. Ive tried massaging it and not working. I know we are healing... which is keeping me sane for now.. but I cant help but to think that one will continue to shrivel up... Is really noticeable and even worse in person than in the photos. Im hoping its a phase too.. :( sending healing light to you.

sbella, have your tape hearts come off yet? Also, were your areolae reduced or are they the same? Thanks... and do hang in there. I'm sure I'll be dealing with the same ups and downs at least!

Hi Znikie.....I haven't had a chance to congratulate you since your surgery. No matter what you are way better off without those implants and I'm so happy you are finally free of that pain. I have seen a handful of stories like yours on this site over the last 9 months. A lot of them are older stories and I can not remember the names now....but they are gals that had the same thing happen. The nipple started to cave. Give it time. One of the gals posted at the year mark and the nipple finally popped out and she looked perfect....actually there were two cases like that and they both took about a year to finally heal and look normal. My doctor warned me that everyone heals differently and some people form internal adhesions and weird things can happen. He had me massaging my breasts immediately to try and prevent that from happening. I want to say that the gals who had this massaged their breasts daily and after a year they were back to normal. There was one story I read that the person waited several months and the condition got better but still had scar revision surgery and it was even worse afterward and her advise was to just give it time because she started seeing changes and then because she had another surgery she made it way worse and started from square one all over again. So stay positive and give it at least a year. It is still very early. Everyone heals differently and a doctor can not control how you internally heal. Blessings to you my friend and love those babies of yours and hubby to be :) Take care!

hi. I was wondering how u are healing? do u still have the nipple indentation? or has it fluff out? I'm planning on ex planting soon and would just like to know what to expect, thanks

Hi... So sorry for the late reply... I am healing so well. While my boobs are not perfect.. I am loving not having to wear a bra... I hated wearing them to begin with so Im not sure what I was thinking when I got DDs... Live and learn... My nipples are still indented but its who I am now... I will NOT be getting a lift... As you can see my body was in bad shape and can assure you that if I didnt need a lift then nobody needs a lift... I will post a photo soon. Good luck with your explant :)

I LOVE MY BOOBS...
znikieMarch 22, 2014
Wow, it feels so good to say that. I never in a million years thought Id say that feeling the way I have been for so long. Its been such a roller coaster. I didnt think I could get pregnant so I go and buy boobs, the Dr put in what he thought I would want and not what I actually wanted, I ended up getting everything horrible thing that could happen to a person with implants. Now flash forward almost 4 years and I am finally FREE and back to myself again. My boobs are actually a size bigger than before. Although, its been really tough trying to get my milk back in, I am happy with the results. I massaged my right one and it fluffed out nicely. I couldnt believe it. I woke up the next day and they were almost even... I couldnt be happier and the Dr was great too :) Now I just need to lose 10 more pounds before July. Im getting married FINALLY!!

They look SO good! And they'll keep looking better every day. I'm so happy for you. It's wonderful to be natural again, isn't it? I'm three months post and removal was the best decision I've made in years. Congratulations for freeing yourself of them after all that pain and discomfort ... and for your upcoming marriage. Double yay! :)
March 22, 2014
WOW, I am so impressed how fast they changed! You look awesome! Rest adn heal :-) Thank you for posting your story. Pictures help so much when one is considering explanting.
March 22, 2014
I totally teared up reading your last update. You results are truly amazing! Who knew that they would bounce back so quickly! So very happy for you:) Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
March 22, 2014
...i have watched your story unfold and the ups and downs and hoped that your op would go so well. Your boobies looked so painful and I wondered how they would heal given that one of them had moved itself into such a painful and unatural position on your chest and I am just amazed!! you look magnificent! I am so happy for you and you have such a lot of skin tissue....
I have had a bit of a setback and spent most of the past two days in tears....I am so confused. It has been going on for over a year and still I am no where. Your story has given me the strength and the result the boost I needed at such a very, very low ebb in my journey. Thank you for sharing.x
March 31, 2014
Awe... Thank you sooooo much!!! I am so incredibly happy. Yea one still droops a little but Ill take that over the pain I was feeling for 3 years any day... xoxo
March 31, 2014
You do not even know the emotions I have been feeling. Yea one droops a little but hey, Ill take drooping over pain any day. So HAPPY... xxoxo
March 22, 2014
....I wanted to ask you if you had the capsule removed as well as the implant...I forgot to ask you!!...how dumb am I....my head is just a big shed....I just want to get myself sorted and stop all this too-ing and fro-ing and contradiction from these surgeons....and then maybe my head will go back to normal too....and then maybe I won't forget simple things like to ask you about the capsules!...I'm fear loosing it!
March 31, 2014
Hi... Yes, I did have the capsules removed... I wouldnt have it any other way. I wanted everything out. I cant believe how well I healed and I cant believe I wont need a lift. So relieved. xoxo
March 31, 2014
I think you look fabulous. What size implants did you have. I have scoured your review but can't see any details....your before implant pics look like mine but you look really good now....I don't think I will have much boobie after removal:-)

March 22, 2014
I have not been on realself in a while. I had to delay my surgery twice. Last time I spoke to you, you were still deciding which dr. to go to. I remember sharing my thoughts on your implants causing your breast changes not your actual breasts and that I admired you sooooo much for not doing a lift. Flash forward to now and you are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Thats an understatement, you really have amazing, healthy breasts! I could not be more happy for you! You stayed strong and it paid off. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration! You're strength is amazing! I hope I also have great success! So exciting!
March 31, 2014
Oh my goodness. Its been a rollercoaster of emotions... I just absolutely LOVE my new boobs. My old self is back. I couldnt be happier. What a difference I feel. From pain one day to free the next. How are things going with you now??
