WORTH IT$1,286
Hello everyone! I apologize for such a delay in my update and with responding to messages. I have been terribly busy and ABSOLUTELY LOVING my small chest!! Well it has been 6 months since my surgery. So here are my new photos. I post these photos in the hope of giving you all hope. If you are on the fence with your decision.. I know how you feel. And if you think you won't be beautiful without having large breasts..well, I know how you feel. I was there..I was soooo afraid of what I would look like and how others would look at me. Our society tells women that we have to be thin, beautiful, and big chested to be of any worth. Making women feel sadly inadequate. What crap!! I was a victim too of the intense media brain washing. Beauty is in being unique. One of a kind. Which you are!! You were fearfully and wonderfully made. Look around noone can replicate you. Your body is part of your story...I choose that my story will tell my precious daughter that her mother was strong. And brave to accept the true beauty that God gave her. I was not raised to realize worth is more than skin deep. It has taken me 30 years to achieve that, but I do want my daughter to find her self worth in more then cleavage. I do look forward to hearing back from all you women out there. Take care

So I am 7 days away from it being my 2 month mark....
So I am 7 days away from it being my 2 month mark. I am really happy how they are taking form. I know it can take 4 months till they are completely healed and shaped so YAY! I look at my before pictures and think OH MY was I really that BIG! I have had a struggle with bras though. I can't seem to wear an underwire as of now. Not because of pain but fit. And I got fitted the other day and was a whopping 34A : ) . Another plus is when I got my implants I had the surgery through my nipple. And I hated being touched there which made my husband sad and I lost sensation. So I was sure when they did the surgery again through my nipples all my husbands hopes and any sensation would be gone..But I am here to say miracles do happen!!! I regained all sensation and I LOVE it!! So I hope that helps anyone who is thinking about getting rid and getting real, lol, hence realself.com! And thanks for all the support I truly appreciate it!!

Beloved806- you look amazing. I just had mine out two days ago and mentally am feeling really nervous. My right breast looks a half to a whole cup I've under the left right now and soooo deflated. I'm just hoping to feel mentally better though I'm glad the implants are out. I still have pain and my drains are still in. I hope this passes soon and they fluff. Again, you look great!!!

Hi, I know how you feel. When they took the bandages off 2 days after surgery I was shocked how deflated I was. I kept telling myself ( its ok, it takes 4 months to recover). Im sorry you had to have drains. I was so happy that I did not have to have them put in. My chest isn't exactly even either. My left breast is fluffing and shaping faster than my right. But starting to even out a little. I can tell you It truly takes time. I am 7 days to my 2 month mark and I am really happy with how things are looking. Believe me it is worth it! So hang in there! It is a journey just being yourself..I know..But being your real self inside and out..now that is truly beautiful. Keep me posted on how things are going for you!!

Delabryne...i agree 100% with beloved806's comment above. You do need to give it time..i know exactly how you feel but they will change. Like beloved, my right is larger than my left a liitle bit but most womens breasts are asymetrical. Hang in there. It will get better...xoxo

Thank you for the update Beloved. I am having my explant done through the nipple and was worried about it. Like you, I lost a lot of sensation and learned to accept it the 15 years I have had my implants but it really frustrated me. I hope I have the same results across the board as you did. You look great!

Hi Sgfit, I had my implants removed which were 375cc. I was a really full C and went to a 34A. I am about to post my 6 month mark pictures. I also did not have a lift. I am sorry for such a delay in my reply. I have been so busy with my lil A cup boobs I haven't had time. Please let me know how you are and if you have had the explant yet. I am soooo happy with how I look!! I know you will feel the same : )

I am still so amazed by the support on this...
I am still so amazed by the support on this website. I truly appreciate it! And I know before my surgery I was on here daily looking at other peoples stories to help me be okay with my decision. I still am happy I did it :) by my pictures you can tell I am slowly starting to maybe fluff up. Really I am not worried about having boobs at all, I rather like my flat chest. But I do wish my skin would hurry and contract. Thanks again for all the support and will update soon with what I look like. It is freeing to just be you, I promise.

Hi Me Again,
You look great. We seem to be very similar in size and you look like your filling out nice after only 2 weeks. I feel like mine still need a little more fluffing but hopefully it will get better everyday. Are you still wearing a support bra and what size are you wearing in regular bras now(if you don't mind me asking). it's just that I am still having some difficulty with finding the right size bra and we look very similar.

Hi Brownies123,
I am still wearing the soft support bra the Dr. gave me with a compression sports bra over that. My Dr. said to keep wearing it day & night till the 4 wks is up. I was waiting till atleast a month to go get a fitting and purchase the smallest size bra Victoria Secret makes..HAHA!! So I will let you know when the time comes. I also bought this cream called Dermory thats suppose to help firm and work magic :) Keeping my fingers crossed!!

I went to VS and to be honest i dont love the way their bras fit. I feel their pushup add two sizes ones make you look like madonna with her cone bra. I did purchase a maidenform one and also lilly of france ones that i like better. Unfortunately i think wearing my braga dolly bra inserts with a regular non push up bra looks the most natural and the best but i hate the thought of having to put these in my bras. Oh well, still hoping for more fluffing but regardless i wouldnt change a thing. I am so happy to be natural again even if I am small : )

Hi everyone,
My surgery went well, Dr. was able to get everything out in one go which is a huge relief. Less is better!! Thanks for your prays and support. Now it's time to heal and regain confidence with our "new" girls. On Monday I have to go back to Dr. for a check-up and he said to take a sports bra with me, however I don't have the slightest clue as to what size to buy so I guess I'll take two different sizes with me just to be on the safe side. I'm hopeing Dr. will advise on massages, if not maybe one of you could let me know what I should be doing.
Beloved806 you look wonderfull, your photos are a big help for my self esteem as I think we've had more or less the same job done. Keep updating if you don't mind and take care.

Hi there. I was wondering how your recovery is going and if you are pleased with the results?
B
March 25, 2012
Hi, I am recovering really well thank you for asking. I am very happy with the results. At first I thought Oh my, because they were so deflated but after a month they really started to take shape and fill out. Now almost 2 months later they are looking even better. Can't wait for what my 3rd month will look like : )

Ive only had my implants for 5 months but have wanted them out since week one. They scare me, are uncomfortable and im not happy I made the decision to get then in. Im not sure if i need to give it more time or just take them out. Everyone I speak to says not to take them out because I wont be happy...since I wasnt happy with my small breasts to behin with, the need will remain after explant. Im so stressed and depressed I do not know what to do!! I want these out, but im not sure if I will be deformed, or be able to accept myself the way.i am...i mean why else did I get them in...because I didnt like my breasts. Im just overwhelmed with these, im afraid they will make me sick and just dont want them...but never want to inadequate. Im 24 had a small 34b before and have 400cc silicone unders....can anyone help me think this through? Will I be deformed? Saggy or indented? Help please. :(

Hi sgfit, i can completely relate to your fears. I think we all had the same concerns. Since you have had them for such a short time i cant imagine you could have much of a change from the way they were prior to implants. Of course a surgeon can give you the best answer to those questions but i think if you look around this site you will see that the outcomes have been good for most of the women. I had mine for 18 years and they are fine. Of course, nobody can predict how they will look but i think the odds are in your favor. Bottom line is our breasts do not define who we are. If you are unhappy then why keep them in. Now that i am older i realize natural breasts are so much more beautiful even if they are small and a little saggy. Every womens breasts will eventually sag even if you never had implants so i have learned to just appreciate my breasts the way they are. I am now a 34a/b and its ok. Good luck with your decision. I know its a tough one. But the women on here are great and have really helped me get through this. Keep us posted.

Your right it isn't something that is talked about. I wish someone had told me that I would pretty much lose any pleasurable sensation there when getting my implants and that it really would creep me out to have them touched, because theres so much pressure that feeling the hard implant behind the nipple is well.... yuk. I didn't like my nipples touched at all. I would stomach it for my husband but literally for the first 5 years after my implants that area became off limits. Your right it just felt different and completely uncomfortable. So when I went to have my explant surgery I assumed I would completely lose all sensation permanently.. Thank God! Total opposite! I began to be super sensative and it was in a good way. Not ackward and uncomfortable any more. So I promise that once that pressure is gone from behind your nipples it is such a welcomed relief. And it will be enjoyable again. I hope that helps. As you can see I am an open book but someone needs to speak the truth. Amen!
