Removed PIP Implants After 8 Years - Switzerland, CH

WORTH IT$6,500
It is now one month after my operation and I am still so happy that I had this operation done. I love the results and I seriously think my boobs look better now than ever before (or maybe I am just in a better place now and accepted myself - you be the judge). My scars are quite large, but very thin and healing nicely. I am still wearing the silicone strips/plasters to help minimize the appearance of the scar, but it is in the fold so hardly visible.

I made it through to the other side. The pain is hardly there and the implants were 100% in tact so the dr didnt have to do any clean-up inside. He said that it was a good decision not to go for the lift as i dont need one.
I am so releaved that it is all over now. I am looking at these implants on the table next to me and I can't believe I actually willingly had it put into my body. I am not wearing a compression bra and i have no drains. Dr said it is not required. I am taped up which makes by boobs look a bit strange, but I will take and post pictures as soon as i can. Thank you all so much for your support and taking the time to encourage me not to have the lift done.

Happy healing, we did it!! x
Hi, welcome to the other side:) nice to read that you feel ok!
And I am so glad that you consider the no lift decision to be the right one. Actually I have felt a little bad to maybe talk you out of something you had wanted. I am no doctor and maybe I am projecting my own fear of scars and cutting into (or around) the nipple to other women.
Happy healing and hope you can rest!
Hi SwedishMary, I actually still wanted to personally thank you for talking me out of it :-). If you guys didnt say any thing i would have just blindly gone for a lift. But after your posts i researched it a bit an realized i would like to avoid the scars if possible. P.s. hope you had a nice time in Zurich
Hey, there is no need for that, that is what this forum is about. Guess that there are many of us who wouldn't have done the explant if we had not read other womens stories and seen pictures.
Yes, Zurich was nice, safe and clean and easy to get around:)
Can't wait to be on the other side with you! I'll be following your recovery. Heal well!
Hi, it is so nice for it to be over. The relief is just imence. I thought I would prefer my profile with the implants, but I look so much nicer without them. Don't worry, it will be over before you know it. Good luck for Friday.
Hi NBK, how you doing? You looking great.!! Take it easy ! Get some rest.
Hi Preciosa, I am doing brilliantly. I just told my husband that I will be walking around the house topless from now on :-D. Seriously, I think my boobs look better now than before and after the implants. I had a look at your profile and I think we have very similar outcomes. You look fab!
Hi NBK, it nice to hear you're doing good... I bet you're husband loved the topless idea... I think you do look a lot better natural very perky too. You for sure do not need a lift...You look beautiful. Enjoy you're natural new look..:)
Your little boobies look really lovely, hope you continue to heal well xx

2 Days to go and I get this empty hole in my tummy everytime the thought of surgery crosses my mind... which is about 5 times a minute! After some very much appreciated replies on my post I have decided not to have the donut lift and only to go for the explant and wait 6 months to decide if I need a lift. The dr told me that he would do some internal stitching so that there is some sort of lift happening from the inside. Sounds very much like what Swedish Mary had a couple of years ago.
Now off to buy a AA sports bra!
I will post pictures as soon as I can... if I dont look to too horrendous ;-)

Hi, you will not look horrendous, I definitively think you will be fine!
Good luck to your surgery, I will be thinking of you from a place not so far away, am visiting Zurich right now!
Good luck NBK, I also had pip's 250 cc's for 6 years. Thrilled to have the enemies out of me, no more poisonous risky threats... Peace and feeling relieved. Thank goodness for padding!!
Sweet Girl--I've been there--that feeling in your stomach that pesters and pesters . . . Take some deep breaths and remember that you are making a great decision in the interest of your health and well-being! You'll be done with all the worrying soon, and you'll get to rest, rest, rest while your body heals and mends itself. I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised!! I know I was! Best wishes!!!
Good luck for 2moro. PIP's ruined the life that I had and now they are gone I feel free and safe from the dangers of the silicone that had spilled into my body. You will be so happy after your removal. Keep us updated xx
Thank you Nerja. I didnt expect to feel this releifed, and such a bonus that the implants did not rupture. More photos to come soon.
