31 Yr Old....LOVING my "new/old" self again!!

It's been a little over a month post-explant ...Best decision ever!!

Going on a month and a half that I have been implant free. Words cannot describe how liberating it feels to FINALLY be back on the other side. I feel like a whole new woman....I was not sure what to expect,as far as how they would look,feel or how I was going to react to seeing them natural again. I remember thinking to myself...Will I be brave enough to look at them right away or will I freak out at their appearance. When it was all said and done, I didn't hesitate. I felt so great that nothing mattered & I knew that I was going to do MY best to help them heal along the way. The first 3 weeks I slept with a sports bra & pretty much had the ace bandage on for extra compression as much as I could. I use the silicone scar sheets & use me-derma in between. I massage them with vitamin-E oil and coconut oil as much as I can,sometimes 4-5 times throughout the day & night. I feel GREAT!! My energy is off the charts, I feel like my old self again and I just wish I had done this sooner!! After having my two boys, especially after my second pregnancy...the implants were not the same,as you can tell in the pics,they were not a pretty sight in the end. My back feels great and I notice that its going to be easier for me to lose weight. Nothing but good has come out of this. Like anything, they aren't perfect. I do have some stretch marks that are apparent when bra-less,BUT when I have a bra on,they simply disappear. funny! But I can sure live with that!! Hope my results or my story helps anyone that is looking to explant in the future. When I see a girl with a boob job, I can't help to feel for her. I guess because in MY opinion, boob jobs are over-rated. NOTHING beats natural. Yes, i learned the hard & expensive way BUT i actually LOVE them more than EVER BEFORE!! Take care and best wishes to all of you!

I just want to say you look AWESOME! My explant is one week from today and I'm so nervous. I hope mine look as good as yours!

Very sweet of you to say!! THANK YOU!!! You're going to be just fine. I remember oh so well feeling those exact emotions,but on the morning of my surgery I felt at peace knowing that I was making the right decision for my body. I put on "my big girl panties" and was ready to rock n roll. Before I knew it, I was home & recovering. It's amazing how the body heals itself & fast too. By the third week, I was sleeping on my belly. I wish you strength & comfort in the coming days and a speedy recovery as well!! Take care and we are all in this together.

Back to work Clothes

LiveNLearn
Here's what I wore on my first day back to work. I tried my best to not make it so obvious about my chest size. It seemed to have worked, being that no one noticed. The first couple days were hard for me to find tops to wear because I was so flat on my upper area of my breasts. Now that time has passed & they've fluffed up a bit, it is a whole lot easier to pull off shirt tops that are more tight fitted.
