Explant op all done, relief!! Yorkshire, UK

Hi andi glad you are healing and feeling happier. And also to corki973 hope you are less sore. It is 3 half weeks since my explant and i am ok from boobs point of veiw just had acid reflux problems since operation and so that has taken over from boob prob!! I havent been back to work but not cos of boobs other health issues. My boobs are still very flat on top and i am just in an a cup soft cheap bra. I like corki had all capusules removed and so was really tender for week or so around ribs and to lift arms was sore near arm pits. My scars are a bit tender but i,m ok.My boobs seem to point outwards a bit hope this settles when scars feel less tight.?? does anyone else have this. Are you going to try post photos yet andi??I havent done so yet and have to work out how to do it but know how useful i found looking at pics before op. Keep posting and healing! x

Hi andi, is your surgery tomorow 23rd or 24th or have you had it??I saw the programme last evening also and i am so glad i have had my implants removed. I did not have pips but had a bad capsular contracture and it was so uncomfy at the end and i couldnt look at my boobs for months as they had sagged so much. Like littlenik i too feel a hell of a lot lighter and i did go for the capsulectomies in the end after all my non stop research right up to the day of surgery ..i drove myself mad and exhausted!! It is a rollercoaster at mo emotionally but i am relieved it done. So glad you are nearly at your op date as it is such a surreal time waiting . Lots of luck you be fine. x

Just read your profile and so glad your op is over and that you are not too sore. I am 2 weeks post explant tomorrow.Keep posting and you will find this forum such a support!!. You can relax a little now , i think the hardest part is the week or so leading up to the op x

Hi everyone hope all you recently explanted that you are healing gradually and not expecting too much of your bodies like i am.I am trying to stop decorating my house to sell it but it is hard resting yet i know when i have overdone it as it twinges in my breast esp the right one where i had the capsular contracture. I not ready to return to work for many reasons. Hope you not too sore Lucy in the sky and your drains are gone--its a relief to get them out mine came out after 24hrs. How are you andi22 what date is your op?? thinking of you.x

Thanks for that free2bme it so reassurring we are at the same point and comforting. I want to put pics up to help others but they really are bit deflated and tiny and yet i know i have done the right thing. It is such an adjustment period after having oversized hard uncomfortable false implants 8 days ago and now back to ?smaller than i was originally and flattened!! Think it is bit of a difficult time for us. I have a friend coming to see me tomorrow and i will show her though i a bit nervous!! I have told work i will be off another week as i still havent really got over the op yet. What are you doing about work?(if indeed you do work?!!) Take care,bye for now:)
