Hi, so I just realised that yesterday was four weeks since the operation - how time flies!! I'm really happy to update the photos, I think my new little breasts are wonderful. My left one has fluffed a little which I'm happy about, overall I'm just relieved to get on with my life and not have the worry.
I am still wearing a sports bra everyday, still rubbing in coconut oil in most nights (got a tip from someone on here about coconut oil, its great). Anyway, to anybody who is waiting on their operation or considering it, please do this for your self, you won't regret it.
I can't believe how much I appreciate my new natural breasts. I guess its ironic that I'm more comfortable with my smaller, saggier, scarred natural breasts than I ever was with implants.

Re the photos...

Just a quick note about the before photos (the first 3), they were taken through a mirror, so my left breast is actually my right breast and vice versa in those. You can tell my left because it has a freckle a few inches above my nipple. I remember before I ever got implants that freckle was right above my nipple - thats how much my skin has stretched with the implants.
My left breast was always bigger and never really settled when I had implants, the profile was higher and it seemed a size or two bigger than my right. Ironic now because its about a size or two smaller.

If the size difference persists and is bothersome, you can have fat grafting to the left breast to even them out. It uses your own fat, so no foreign matter into your body. And as petite as you look, it shouldn't take much to achieve the look you want. I have been looking into this for myself, but due to my extremely large starting breast size I am not a candidate. However, the before/after pics I have seen with the best results are about your size.

Fortunately, you're only a few days post-surgery so it is very likely that there will be significant and positive changes over the next days, weeks and months! Hang in there, Gilbot!

Just give it time Gillbot, and keep looking at all the positives now:). Your body will recover and do the job on its own.

Maybe I can make you feel better. I am 40 years older than you and had my implants removed one month ago. Left breast was immediately larger than the right - more trauma actually occurred to right (severe rupture) , but for whatever reason the left seemed almost swollen I guess. Bottom line, almost every week that goes by gives me improvement Although it may take some time, I think at your age with your beautiful healthy skin you will finish out with a wonderful result. So, so hard to be patient.

Hi Gilbot! I have been reading your story and just wanted to send you all my best wishes! You are a lovely,smart, young woman and I know you made the right decision to get those rocks out!! My surgery isn't until July 30, which seems like such a long way off. I've had these things for 23 years and just hate the way they feel. It was such a mistake. Now, at 64, I will have a much harder time recovering and for my body to return to its natural state. Also, about the size difference, that is totally normal! My boobs were different enough before implants for me to get two different sizes put in. I'm sure that once they are out, that asymmetry will return. I will just be so happy to have soft breasts that I don't care!! At any rate, good luck to you! Keep healing, keep smiling, and look forward to a much happier, healthier life!! xoxo

So I was a little nervous to post photos up until today. Although I'm incredibly happy to have them out, to be honest I'm a little disappointed with how my left breast looks, so flat and deflated. I know its only early days so I'm trying not to worry too much.
I can't fully remember, because I was quite out of it when the surgeon came to see me when I woke up, but I think he said that he had to do a partial capsulectomy or remove some tissue or something on that side. If you look at the before photos, the left side droops more, so maybe there were problems with that implant and it wasn't so straightforward to remove.There is definitely more soreness on that side also. I have an appointment with him on Monday so will ask about it.
You can see in the photos that there is bruising underneath the left breast, and its obviously smaller than the right one. Its a shame because the right one looks great, but I will just have to get used to them being a bit uneven.
Apologies for the residual fake tan around my armpits in the photos, I had scrubbed most of it off but you can still see some orange, haha.
