Implants are Out!
ByeByeImplantsMay 31, 2014
One week ago I had my implants removed and capsulectomy. I'm so glad I did!! The recovery hasn't been as easy as I thought it would be. I'd say this surgery was about as bad as my first boob job but hurt worse than the second boob job. Today my breast are pretty tender and sore but I'm feeling better each day.
The doc put in drains when I got them out. I'm glad he did and recommend finding a doc who uses the drains since not all do. I had quite a bit of fluid that drained out - over 300 CCs out if each breast in the past week. If I didn't have the drains I would have been a lot more swollen and bruised. Today I got the drains and stitches out. To my suprise I actually have some boobs and I'm not as flat as I thought I would be.
One of my boobs looks saggier than the other but hopefully in time they will even out -- and it's nothing that a bra can't fix. I can't wait to see how they look in a few weeks.
I will post more pics once the bruising, swelling and incisions have healed more. I will also post updates as to how I'm feeling. I've wondered if some of the medical issues I've been dealing with relate back to my implants - brain fog, IBS, increased sensitivity to pain, vertigo, etc.
I was very encouraged by other posts I saw. I hope mine encourages others as well. It's totally worth it to get them out. Don't get a boob job without going to Victoria's Secret first. If you get a boob job know that it will be one of many even if there aren't complications. I've had three surgeries related to my boob job and I'm only 32. It wasn't worth it in my opinion. If you're considering getting them out I say do it!! Your body will thank you. And if you absolutely hate how you look you can always get another set put in. You may be like me and surprised how happy you are with all natural boobs!!
Good luck ladies!!

No, I didn't have had scar tissue. The scars were a bit red for a while but now it's barely noticeable.
