  • Posted to Me Again - Texas on 17 Aug 2012

    Unicorn - I had my explan on April 3rd. When I read your post I thought I was reading my own post. I was so upset when I saw my boobs. I had mine for 15 years and I breast fed my daughter and had horrible wrinkles and stretch marks. I was flat as a surf board and I had one boob that was a little more diformed. I think I cried for a month. I just want to let you know that it does get better. Although I am still not thrilled - they look okay. I started out being a 34AA but now I can almost fill a 34A if it has a little padding. The funny thing is that at first I bought the most padded bra I could find from Victoria's Secret but now I just wear a Natori Feahtes Plunge bra that has no padding and is very sexy. I am exbracing my flat chest and rocking it as is. I actually don't like the padding. It looks weird. They do fluff up but it takes about 4 to 6 months. Give it time. I told myself I would give myself a year and if I still wasn't happy I would reimplant. However, I am beginning to think I just may have some fat transfer an I am liking the small boobs. I just want a little more fullness. So keep the faith. It does get better. Hugs!!!

    Kat0173 - I got the Natori Feathers Plunge. I had not been able to find a bra that fit because I don't fill them. Before the explant I was a 34C wore VS bras and those are the ones I purchased after the explant but they are so uncomfortable for me now. They kept riding up and they would pucker. Some VS bras are so padded and uncomfortable because it's just padding and they would gap at the top, which looked horrible with my tshirts. The entire bra shopping experience can be the most depressing after explant. I know it took me months before I could try on a bra and not start crying. Good luck!!

    I think all of us are having the same issues. I have one boob that is healing better than the other and my nipples just wont pop out. It has been three months and I have heard it takes some time so I am hoping with more massaging they will cooperate lol. free2bme and GodGirl. I did buy the Natori bra from Zappos and just got it today. Yay!!! I am over the moon. I was so frustrated with not being able to fill a bra and I had heard from someone else about the Natori bra so when you mentioned it here I decided to give it a try and it is perfect. The 34A is just my size. I fill it and it is beautiful. Worth the pricey tag. I am going to purchase several more. Thank you!!

    Thank you for your words of encouragement. I found a lot of support prior to explanting on several forums. I was actually very excited about having them out. Almost too much. My friends were worried about me because they thought I wasn't preparing myself for the possibility of not liking how I looked. They were right. I got super depressed 3 days after the explant. I couldn't even look at my breasts for weeks. I felt I hat cut off an arm. Unlike some of you, I never had any problems with my implants. They were silicone so they were very soft and not too big (small 32C). I could lay on my stomach and no one even thought they were implants. Sadly, I loved them. So letting them go was difficult. I had to greive. Now I can't say I hate them. I can relate to you God'sGirl, from the front they actually look pretty cute but if I move, bend down, raise my arms, or try to put them in a bra its comical. They are just wrinkled, lose, skin with absolutely no fullness. One doctor suggested a lift but I went with the doctor who thought I didn't need one. I am glad I didn't get one because I would have been left with nipples attached to my chest..lol. Don't get me wrong, I am not depressed about it. And with clothes and a little push up bra, I like the way I look with small breasts. It's just the being naked or filling a bathing suit or my work out clothes (yoga wear) that bothers me. I just wish they were a full A. I am working on loving them...I hope I get there. I still feel sexy at times so I know I can get there. My husband is super supportive and very loving about the whole thing. At this point, I am just focusing on my health. I have had health issues for 16 months and doctors don't seem to know what the heck is going on. I just pray I get my health back and my life back...the breasts are not a priority. Thank you for your prayers ladies....they mean a lot. God bless you all on your journey to acceptance. I am right there with you.
