Day 25 post!
Well here we are post 25 days! Just a quick update things are going well. I saw my PS on Wednesday and he is happy with my healing. Not allowed to do any exercise until the 6 week mark and I am still going easy on lifting and general chores. I am putting Bio -oil on very carefully as I had a capsulectomy and must be careful to let the internal stitches heal. I am really pleased I done the explant and I am looking forward to the rest of my life being free from the bad choice of implants! Good luck all you ladies out there considering the explant route be brave and go for it and thank you to all of the ladies out there who have shared their stories and helped me along my journey.
14 days post explant....
Today I went to get my stitches cut and my dressings removed. My wound is healing well. I still feel fairly bruised internally. The nurse said this is normal and should feel better by week 5. No hoovering for at least another week! I see my surgeon next week so will take his advice. I am really happy I chose to explant and I am 100% certain that will never change. I feel so relieved the silicone days are behind me and still can't believe I actually went through with having implants in the first place. Gone is the matronly feeling and trying to hide my fake boobs, gone is the embarrassment of the choice I made. My little boobs are all mine, warm, imperfect but real! I have tried on clothes and feel so much better with my natural profile. I feel younger, slimmer and happier. Best decision for mind, body and soul! Here are a few pics - believe me, better than I had hoped for already!
Day 3
I have to say that although they are looking very bemused at the moment I am very glad I went ahead and had the explant. Just the feeling of being the real me again is liberating! I have tried a few tops and bikinis on this morning and I'm so much more comfortable with my flatter body, my natural body. I am not in any pain and I have found the process so far of explant so much easier than the implant recovery. I am taking it easy and I know I will find the hardest part of the recovery will be no hoovering! I am so pleased I found this site which gave me a real insight of what to expect and the confidence to do what is right for me and my body. Cannot believe I was so stupid to go through with the implants in the first place. Hindsight they say is a wonderful thing. My advice to any lady/girl considering the implant route is quite simple. Don't do it!
