Explant in 2 Days! Silicone Overs 4 Years Old. Excited and Scared Too! - Scottsdale, AZ

UPDATED FROM Naturalmama88
2 months post

1 month post op! Feeling great!

WORTH IT$2,500
Again, I cant say enough how absolutely amazing I feel being implant free! My confidence is back, my body feels light and happy, my mind is more clear and less concerned with my boobs all the time! I am so so happy I decided to explant. The girls are rebounding nicely. The skin has firmed up already. I am using an essential oil blend everyday to help them along. It seems to be working great! I am so grateful for this forum and all the ladies who posted before me. It is my hope that I can be an advocate for other women considering explant. In health and healing~

Thanks for sharing your journey it has helped me get through the first few days post op. What essential oil blend are you using? Are you applying neat or with a carrier oil?
Hi keepingabreast! Im so glad my posts helped you during your first few days post op! You look great and I know you will continue to feel better and better as the days go on! Here is my recipe for the oil: 4 tbsp of carrier oil (i used half almond and half avocado, but olive oil would work great too) 10 drops cypress 7 drops frankincense 5 drops geranium Just be careful when you scars are still fresh not to get it in the incision. As soon as it closes and you get your stitches out you can even apply it to the scar. Ive been focusing mostly on the top on my breast where the skin is the saggiest. A little goes a long way so use sparingly! Also I speak and think words of love and gratitude while Im massaging the oil in, every little bit of self love helps! Good luck!
Thank you for the quick response. I will be applying that blend of essential oils as soon as the drain comes out. I'm so appreciative of this community of women.
I just got super excited reading your update! I can't wait to get back in my push up bras. I only had my implants in for 4 months so I still have my bras. I agree with you, my husband and I are the only ones who see them naked, so even if they don't perk up that much, at least I can still make them look awesome with some good bras!! After all, I could do that before implant surgery, I'll do it again!
Hi badjudgement- I have had mine in for 4 months and am explanting next week. I am sooo looking forward to that! Did you need to get your capsules removed? How long did it take for your breast to bounce back?
I think you look fantastic! You are very blessed (and smart) to have had them only in for a short time of 4 years compared to some of us who waited much longer. Thank you for sharing your story and I'm going to steal your line - "Peace, Love and Happy Boobs!" Namaste
You look amazing! Thank you for sharing. My explant is scheduled for Feb. 12th and your story is giving me hope!
Did you have a donut lift when they placed your implants or just periareolar incision at bottom of areola?

5 days post op!

Kind of obsessed with my new (old) boobies lol! I feel so so good! I wish I would have had the courage to take those things out sooner! I love how soft and squshy they feel and so does my hubby ;)
They do look a little sad naked but I realized who cares!? Me and my husband are the only two peoe who are ever gonna see em naked so why was I so concerned before with their appearance naked!? I got a super cute new bra from Victorias Secret Pink and they look great in it and with clothes on!
If you are reading this a d considering getting yours out, GO FOR IT! Your body will thank you!
I am so incredibly grateful fpr this forum and all the women before me who posted stories and pics. It really helped me and I hope my story helps others who are considering explant! Best decision Ive made!!

Amazing result! Truly! I get mine out and a lift on the 2nd....nervous..but so ready for this to happen! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
I'm getting so excited just reading your positive posts! I can't wait to get mine out too. You look beautiful. I don't know why we do these things to ourselves but maybe, just maybe, the silver lining is that we really learn to appreciate what we have and what we are born with. Good luck healing!
Hi - today is July 3, 2014. I am currently scheduled to interview a few plastic surgeons to have my implants REMOVED! yea! I am in the Scottsdale, AZ area and I see that you are too. I tried to look up Dr Meager on a google search and could not find him. Do you have a website for him, by any chance. BTW, you look GREAT. I hope my experience is as satisfying as yours.
Hi I am so sorry I didnt see your post originally when you posted! Dr Meger's phone number is 602-957-6000. Hope thats helps! Good luck!
I'm scheduled for my 320cc removed in 2 weeks after 10 years , I'm very scared and trying to prepare myself for the outcome but I really don't want to have to continue having them redone until I die !! I wish I hadn't been so vain !

First post op look!!

LIBERATION!! thats the word that best describes the way I feel right now! Took off my compression wrap and had my first real look at them today! And my first shower, hallelujah! Yes, they are saggy and theres alot of extra skin but I feel like they look better than I thought they would! I am hopeful about how they will rebound after time! I love how soft they feel. My body is so happy right now. Going to buy some new sports bras today. :))

Yes girl yes. I have gumny bears and I do like them, but I don't love them. Sometimes I wish I could take them out too. And the sagging you have isn't too bad. I bet you feel tons of relief. I feel like mine give me bad posture. Anyway. If the sagging bothers you, maybe there's a non invasive treatment for tightening of the skin. I'm almost 100 % sure there is. Cutting people up is really a thing of the past now. And wuite honestly. I'm over women being sexualized. I sometimes feel like a hypocrite since I have implants too and ten I ask myself why I got them. Good for you for making an awesome decision! Men like real [RS bleep], that's for sure. And now you can lay really close to your mate when you have sex and not feel like you have two stupid things in the way. Did society make me think that I needed them or was it something that I really wanted? So many women on tv ruined their perfect [RS bleep] to have bulbus boobs that look terrible. its,like, "excuse me ma'am, i can see your implants." Either way, I hope more ladies follow suit. Your boobies look great! Implants are over rated, right?
Yes WAY over rated! :) thanks for the comment!
Girl...you look amazing, and its only two days post-op! I am learning so much from you and others who have taken this step. To talk to most plastic surgeons, they make me feel like its impossible to take them out without re implantation or further surgery. I am re inspired by your story! Way to go!!
Thanks! Yes I went to about 10 different surgeons before I found one who didnt try and talk me out of my decision! Stay true to what YOU want, dont let the Dr dictate your future!
You look fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing.
