It's been 2 months today and I have not regretted it for one second. Physically feeling great, but the mental and emotional part has been the most significant. I thought having perfect boobs would boot my self confidence, boy was I wrong. Thanks to all you beautiful, smart, amazing women on the is board for being my rock!

You know, I think we all have our aesthetic idea of what "perfect" is, but for me, perfect isn't about size. It's about shape. I really hope after my explant that my shape is attractive the way yours is.

I absolutely agree with you CandS. Thank you so much. I can't even explain how much better I love my clothes and I feel confident now. Best of luck to you and keep us posted on your decision :-)

Thanks, Kerenska. I'm scheduled for May 2nd, and even though sometimes I feel pretty apprehensive about it, your words really help me. :)))

CandS I am scheduled for explant on 4/18. I too am apprehensive. But I think it will make me so much happier. What is your current size?

&*%$#@ HUGE!!!! 34DD, and I have a really small rib cage, so it's pretty grotesque, in my opinion. Like some of the other women here, I never wanted anything like that, and I know I'll be so much happier when they're gone.

Thank you for this review! I had a tummy tuck in November, and I know a lot of women do the "mommy makeover" at that time. Why not if you want to do a BA? It's a money savings. I have lost 120lb and I knew for sure I wanted the TT, and I have always gone back & forth about a BA. My breasts look deflated from the weight loss. I couldn't decide, so I got the TT by itself. Lately, I have been thinking about BA again and I have been reading on the BA forum, and someone suggested I read the implant removal forum. I think in a few years, I would have written a review just like yours. From reading these reviews, I am sure this procedure (BA) is not for me. Thanks for your honesty! :)

Awe Dayna, wow that hit me hard. I know it is such a personal decision. I am 43 and really, taking them out was the best thing for me. I am such a happier person now. And wow! Congrats on the 120 lbs...what a huge achievement, that is just wonderful. All the best and hugs to you :-)

Dayna99232, please, please, please, do not get breast implants!! I just want to tell every woman in the world that! Be thankful for the way God made you and be thankful you are not about to have to go through surgery to "undo" what you did to your own self. If only someone had told me that years and years ago when I was 24!

Thank you for your concern. I made it pretty clear that I won't be getting implants.

My steri strips are still hanging on...yuck. I think shape is looking somewhat better. Right breast looking better than left. I over did it this weekend traveling and left incision was painful, much better today but calling Dr anyway. I am still feeling good mentally, my bf is cool with it and being supportive. I know he'd prefer implants but has been very sweet knowing that this is what makes me happy. I am having fun looking for AA bras online also looking forward to wearing a bikini this summer without having to be self concious everyone is starring at my bolt ons :-).

Your girls are looking nice. I wish mine had that nice shape. I think it is going to take at least 6 months for my body to resculpt. Glad to hear your bf is supportive. Mine is about the same. He liked the 32Ds- used to get this silly grin on his face when I took my bra off. They are men and they do love us.....

YAY they are so cute! I also ordered the lounge bralette ;) I feel SO good also...it's crazy that I have energy. I still laugh about it during the day. I was in POOR POOR shape and could barley move and would just be hanging on during the day...and now my life is changed!

Looking pretty much the same I think. Feeling great except for a darn cold.

I can't express how much less depressed I am. How I feel like I am now true to who I am. I feel sexier, more confident and just all around a happier person.

One HUGE reason is all the amazing support from all these smart, beautiful, wonderful women on this site. Words cannot express how grateful I am. You ladies rock!
