Explant on 8/22- TERRIFIED of Going Under Again - Orlando, FL

I hope you find your peace whatever that is. .. with implants or without. You look awesome but it's your body and you need to do what works best for you at this stage of your life. All the best:)

I'm so sorry we see your outer beauty and you don't.

Hey missus. Long time no speak. It's a harsh lesson we've all had but you seriously look fantastic. How's work? Did you go for the other job? X

Thank you for sharing your story. I want to have my implants out also, since I am also a tiny girl (not quite as tiny as you, but pretty small), and my doctor put in 400cc, even though I asked for SUBTLE! Then after six months, he agreed to change them to 300ccs.... still too big!!! Now I just want them out. And I'm wondering, should I get them out, or get them out and lifted at the same time, if that's an option. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that your breasts look absolutely perfect!! You are right -- we are always our own worst critic, and we fail to see the beauty, and quick to see the imperfections. But honestly, believe me, your breasts after the explant are just lovely, with or without clothes. Can I have them? LOL? No really, I only hope mine turn out as beautiful once these things are taken out of me. Geez... what was I thinking??

Hi. I thought your breasts looked very nice and not big at all. I got 175 cc texture silicone and I wish they were bigger. I can say I had fuller breasts naturally when in my 20's and so I was used to having some breasts comparing to my tiny frame. When I was pregnant and breastfeeding they got even bigger and it did not bother me at all. I do not know what to tell you, I think you did not wait enough for the implants to settle and get normal and soft. I felt them so hard and heavy for some months and took them a long time to settle. At first when i saw them I freaked out because I thought they were huge but it was the swelling and that lasted for many months. And mine are overs which means less time to settle. Why didn't you do overs? You had more breast tissue than me. Anyway, I do not want to make feel that you did not do the right thing, everybody is different. I felt so bad about my deflated breasts for more than 10 years and after I had them done I wish I hadn't waited for that long. I have not had any problems that did not have before surgery regarding the implants and not the cancer treatments and other lymph surgery. I remember though that the first 4-5 days and until the bandage came off I was having panic attacks all the time, I felt awful and depressed because of the discomfort. That thing was so tight I could not breath. The only thing girls out there should consider is that they should have them done after they are done breastfeeding because that is when you get depressed. Have you thought that your breathing problem is panic attacks? I have had them for years and let me tell you they just came like that and lasted from 15 minutes to 45. You feel like you cannot breath at all and after it is over you feel fine. Do you have something like that? Of course, over the years I developed other panic symptoms much worse than the breathing thing. I think you might have experienced a panic attack because you felt bad about your breasts and your decision to have them and upset about your doctor and guilty for whatever issue, I do not know. I have just learned a lot over the years dealing with my problem and having seen so many psychiatrists and read about psychology. Write me your comments, please, and tell me how you are feeling now. Do you still have the breathing problem?

Awe, that sucks to find a lump. I have never heard of a scar tissue "lump" forming as a result of explant. If they left your capsules in, the capsules basically collapse and shrink down (according to my surgeon) and it should not form any sort of palpable mass. You are about the same age as me though, and I found out how incredibly common non-cancerous breast lumps are for reproductive aged women. About 10-15% of us develop fibroadenoma (I had one) and even more of us develop breast cysts. You definitely shouldn't freak out, but do go to your OBGYN or Primary doctor for a clinical breast exam. They will also probably refer you out for a mammogram and/or ultrasound. I think the explant probably has nothing to do with your lump - however the fact you have explanted will make diagnosing and treating this lump a million times easier! Try to relax and not get too stressed. For us pre-menopausal women the vast majority of breast lumps are benign, and hormone driven. But don't procrastinate on getting it diagnosed, because in rare instances younger women do get breast cancer... So even though it is like 99% probably benign you don't want to use your age as an excuse to not get checked out.

I've felt a lump before right before my cycle and they went away right after before my ba .my sister also had problems before and she did infact pull a muscle but only in one though it healed up on its on.

I agree with LuvRealBoobs. It's probably hormonal since both your breasts are sore. The lump may be a cyst or fibroadenoma, both benign, but definitely get it checked out. Also, your boobs are probably more sensitive than before as they have each been through two surgeries in the past year. And any surgery/ injury anywhere in the body creates scar tissue. All that inner healing takes a while. Hang in there. :-)

Hi Verdeluz. Don't sit on this, go get it checked out NOW! You're gonna make yourself ill with worry, the doc will, if nothing else, be able to put your mind at ease. Let me know how you get on. X

I am so sorry to read about everything you had to go through. Yes, I think your problems were because your implants were very big for you. Take a look at mine, they are 175cc, mod-plus, over the muscle. I am like you, petite and I told my surgeon I wanted to have back what I had before breastfeeding, and I got exactly that. Almost 5 months post-op and they feel smaller since the swollen has gone down, very soft and natural. Well, I am talking about my right breast because the left one is still higher and has the downwards shape. I hope it will be normal in the future. Sometimes, I think I should have got 200cc and that is because my natural breasts were closer together, now they are more apart. I am very happy that I did it though, I have not have a problem with them so far. Of course I can feel the implant when I touch them, but i do not care. I believe that your breathing problem can be psychological, I mean a panic attack. I have had panic attacks for years and very strong ones. I feel I cannot breath at all but when they measure my oxygene is more than adequate. For some years when I was getting them I thought I was dying, then I got a little used to them and knew that my breathing problem was because of the panic attack. How long does this breathing problem last for you? I will be waiting to hear from you.

Your breast look great. I thinnk we are hard on ourselves because I don't like mine and I contemplate on getting 200 cc but also I sometimes get pain were I used to have the pain in the past. I'm scared to do it again.

OMG ---you look beautiful now--dont do it girlie--- xxxx Like you say the feeling you have could be just anxiety. xxxxx Take care--- [RS bleep]

You look stunning. Surely you're not considering re-implanting or did you mean if you'd got 175's originally? Speak to your doctor if you keep getting these symptoms. Take care you. Hugs. X

Oh my god. You look AH-MAZING..do NOT put implants in you are crazy. Amzing booobs. You will ruin those beauties you got. Just remember...you probably wont want implants forever, and you will have to go through with more anxiety and another surgery to remove them again. So cute your boobs are very sexy. Soft, warm real boobies!!!!! Just wear a bombshell bra if you want the look of 175ccs every once in a while.

Verdeluz34, Time goes by so fast !You still looking wonderful. !! Beautiful pictures! you look very sexy!!!! :) Take care.
