Well Said!! Hmmm, then again, I don't think you will be getting that referral from any PS I know of!! Sadly, my PS did not understand why I didn't want to re-implant, and at my followup after explant was surprised that I actually had plenty of breast tissue for a lovely B+ size! It was a hasty, "okay, you look fine" visit with a make a 6 mo followup appt! Allllrrriiighttty, then!! Oh, well. I am happy and don't care really what anyone thinks anymore! But what an opportunity he missed in bringing another whole faction to his practice! Women who want to explant, lift only, etc. ^shrug^ :) Love the bathing suit! You look fabulous!
Simply Lovely! :) Mine, too are coming along. Just popped a stitch, so the sore, red bump on my areola should start to heal... It was yucky! But I knew what was up from the last lift (and BA). At least it was only one this time, last~ 3 or 4 around the areolas and took a while to resolve itself. Guess my body doesn't really like to dissolve those stitches. Gee, it's been three months, AMAZING! Wish I had lost weight, too, but just glad to have gotten those off my chest! Heehee! I'm actually measuring around a C-/B+! Ha, how's that for explanting and not re-implanting Mr. PS!! :) Wondering if I could have gotten away without the lift as well, but that darn hindsight... AND I have perky~ (UMmmm, really PERKY!) breasts now. Sometimes, I wonder if they are too perky, the areola is sitting really high, and the anchor scar is not under the fold, but that, too, changes weekly. They are settling, and I am getting used to them, and frankly, it's not like I am going to go back... EVER... to have another revision! I have been following many a journey here, and it is interesting to see those that have explanted, and those that are waiting~ to those who are just starting this journey. I know BA isn't for everyone. Just as Explantation isn't either. I wish for everyone at any stage to find peace within themselves, whatever they chose! As for me, best thing I ever did for myself, as well! xo
I think you hit the nail on the head, BHard! I went back to the PS that implanted (not many options where I live and frankly wasn't sure I wanted to go through the process again) however, when I told him I was still unhappy after a year and a half and wanted to explant he was quite dismayed and asked a few times if I wasn't sure I just wanted to downsize! He didn't take pictures this time! Hmmmm.... maybe he would have more business if this was something he willingly offered? My explant was just 1500 less than my implant since I got a lift both times, so he wasn't out too much on fees. ^shrug^ I will say though at my 1 month followup he was very surprised that I had so much breast tissue left and they look pretty darn good. My results are perfectly perfect for me! :) Love not having them consume my every waking moment with how much I hated them!
I am currently out of the country on a scuba diving vacation so can't really chat! I am loving my perky B's and still am thrilled at my outcome! When I get back into the US I will write more (a week from now)... :) until then, know that there are so many women who really feel like you do... It just takes a little listening to your inner voice to show you which is the best way to travel... Xo
I don't know where my comment went... :( sent from my Ipad, guess it didn't like it!! I am happy for you that you finally showed him! I have let my husband see mine, but still felt uncomfortable until the other day when he said "I think I'm going to really like these"... :) So glad, since I already do, and while his opinion does make a difference, in the grander scheme of things the ultimate difference is what comes from within me and how I feel! I no longer feel like my emotions have to be tied to his opinon (like my last marriage) and this is huge for me! Feeling happy with myself and my body image independently of what others think~ priceless!! :)
