I was 35 and had breastfed 3 babies - I was always an A cup but on my third pregnancy went up to an E cup. I thought I would treat myself and give myself something back.... if only I could turn the clock back and know what I know now! I am going for my consultation tomorrow 10 June, to see what my PS thinks. I am going back to the same surgeon who put them in. Although I cannot fault his work, these things don't belong to me and I am ready to embrace my own little boobs back and give them the TLC I should've given to them years ago instead of going down this route. Hoping to be the real me again with the boobs I was born with!
Consultation update
I went to see my PS today to talk about explanting. He examined me and discussed my possible outcome. I seem to have more breast tissue in one breast so he is concerned that after explant this will be more significant to the eye. He thinks I will have enough breast tissue to fit an A cup although he did warn me that my breasts would not look as good as they did before the implant! I do accept this. He has warned me that they will be very flat to begin with but after 3-4 months the tissue should settle down and the skin will retract slightly so I will not be able to tell my outcome for at least 4 months but they will be droopy! He asked me why I wanted to explant, I told him my many reasons, heavy, cold, embarrassed by my fake boobs even more so than my little ones, felt I was older and wiser now and that the grass was not greener! He did ask me to consider that although the grass is not greener than it was, it may well not be greener going back after explant either. I am glad he was honest and truthful with me but after coming on this site and reading and seeing all of the ladies on here I feel I am more prepared and I am going into this with my eyes wide open. I wish I had researched having implants as much as I have researched the explant journey and maybe I would have listened to that little niggle/doubt I had and not brushed it under the carpet and gone ahead. My PS wants to see me again just to be sure before he goes ahead and explants although he has pencilled me in his diary for 29 July.
All done - they are gone!
Well I had my Explant as planned on 29th July. I came home from hospital today as I had a full capsulectomey and drains in for 2 days. The surgery went well and I am pleased to be on the road to recovery. I am in an A cup compression bra. I haven't had a proper look yet as I am feeling quite tender and just feel they need to rest. From what I have seen they do look rather sorry, wrinkly and as though they have just come out of battle! Upon waking up from the surgery I instantly felt lighter and as though I had got back my real body and boobs. I think a large dose of TLC is in order for them and hopefully time will be a healer. Will post some pictures soon. No regrets.
