Silicone Implant Removal Booked - and Advice Welcome - United Kingdom, GB

Hi everyone,

I haven't given an update for a few weeks but that is because my new boobs haven't been a huge obsession, like they have been over the last few months. They are healing really well, I am back to my usual active self and I am getting used to my new body. I havent had a freak about that my boob are not there anymore. For work I wear one of my old lightly padded bras over the top of my sports bra. The padded bra holds it's shape on its own - I don't have any breast tissue to fill it with. It just means that to the outside world my breasts look the same. I have noticed a little bit of fluffing over the last week or so, which is a very welcomed change but Im sure Im still a 34aa. The swelling has gone down so much over the last couple of weeks too. My left breast had been a bit hard but has really softened up. Im so happy that I had my implants removed. I don't care that my breasts are small and very flat. If I start to feel worried about them, I look online at celebrities with flat chests and feel better again. Small chests can look so elegant and that is what I want to lean towards.

How are you all getting on? xx

I can't believe that on Monday it will be one month since I had my implants removed. It feel like a dream, like it didn't really happen. Ive been to the steam room twice this week, first time in a swimsuit since the operation. I actually didn't mind it at all. I am completely flat chested, especially in a swim suit but I don't know anyone there so I don't care. The awkward thing was getting changed. It is an open plan changing room and I was self conscious because my boobs are flat and I have red scars underneath. I know the scars will fade so Im not worried about that. Yesterday I slipped into the mother/baby private changing room, there's never any one with babies or children at that time so I didn't feel guilty but today I was worried that there would be a knock in the door telling me to get out so I went to a part of the changing room that was empty, only to be followed by a really annoying woman who was talking on her phone, not getting changed, standing about 1 meter away from me while I was trying to get changed. I had to do a couple of nifty manouvers to try and dry myself off and get dressed with out reveling too much. Then when I had finally finished, she just walked out of the changing room grrrrrrrr. There were a couple of women in the steam room with me. Their frames were just a bit bigger than mine but their boobs were so much bigger. I wonder how mine just never seemed to grow? I don't know anyone with boobs smaller than mine. Even people who are skinnier than me have bigger boobs!

I cheated a bit today. I wore a mounded bra over my support bra, just to give myself a bit of shape. I thought I can't wear a scarf again so I wore a big jumper with the mounded bra. I feel like I cheated but I think it just looked a bit like my old figure, people would have noticed that my boobs have gone it I hand't worn it.

My left breast it still a bit more tender than the right. It feels a bit harder too. I don't know if fluid can last that long or if it's even caused by fluid. I don't really want to ask my ps, he's a bit flippant about it all I think and he would just act like its one of those things. To me it's not really one of those things, I would like to talk to someone who knows exactly what it could be. I have been looking at resources online but I really can't find much information about life after breast implants. I think forum could be the best resource. Does any one know of any other sites that talks about life after implants and how to get healthier/detox etc. Ive heard that detoxing can be just going to the steam room or intra red saunas, does anyone know if this really works and how the silicone gets out of your body?

I hope you are all healing well and and happy Valentine's day x
