So it's been two years since my last post and I finally went through with the breast explant!
They are pretty droopy looking and it's a shock to see how small they are but I am so happy with my decision.
I will post some better pictures after taking off the bandages in order to track the fluffing out process!

So I thought I'd revisit my account and post an update on my boobs at the 3 year mark post surgery!
They've fully settled and I can say that I'm used to them and they're a part of my body now.
It's still a bit of hassle at the gym sometimes during certain exercises.
I also find myself having to work on my posture because of the extra weight.
Sometimes I will get a full achy pain in my left arm, this is something I've had since after the surgery but it rarely happens.
The scars never quite fully faded but I never notice them.
Had a brief thought about what it would be like to remove them.
Sometimes it's hard to upkeep at the gym enough to maintain balance in my figure because my lower body seems to be smaller than my upper body, but no big deal.
I had a brief thought the other day about what it might be like to remove them, then the thought went away.
Anyway, proud to have some boobs I guess!
I barely ever think of them!
Here's a post to remember lol.

Youvr been through a lot of ups and downs with your breasts and life in general. I can't speak for you being happy at work or your friends but I can speak to what I see when I see your boobs.
They are beautiful. They are not too big. They're not small, that's for sure, but they look nice. You have spent money on them been to lots of ups and downs with them but you had no complications. You are lucky to not have had any complications. And they look good. Not everyone with breast implants can say that. Easy for me to say, I know, but if I were you I would take it as a blessing that everything has turned out well according to your breast implants.
Now in regards to getting them taken out. Why? They look beautiful. There is nothing wrong with them and if you have them taken out you will end up with worse scars and then possibly may not go back to the way they were originally. And reading about how much you struggled to accept the change, very beautiful changes, you may not like the change when they're taking out. Because of ethically they will not be prettier then what you started with and what you got with the implant. I feel the that may make you depressed. At least with the implants they're pretty.
I'm only speaking from my opinions based on everything you've written for the last couple of years. I think you should do what makes you happy and I'm not telling you not to have them taken out. But I think that you have lucked out with complication free beautiful implants. I feel that sometimes the change is what makes things harder on people vs the actual thing. And having them removed after being with them for these last few years we'll start you on another cycle of change where the results are not going to be as aesthetically pleasing.
I'm going back and forth about getting breast implants and I'm hesitant because I'm terrified of something going wrong. I couldn't care less if they're a little too small or a little too big. In my opinion a little bigger is better than what I have now. I'm just terrified of complications because they seem to happen more often then I like or am comfortable with.
Again, you look great and there's nothing you can do about this decision you made a few years ago and I think you should be happy that you look great. Things could have been a lot worse and you could have ended up with a bunch of complications with deformities and really been hating life. Just my opinion.

Thanks for your opinion!! I think I've pretty much accepted them by now. The only thing that really bothers me is struggling to work out my chest muscles at the gym because the implant is behind the muscle, and then the other thing is the affect on my posture and standing up straight. It's something I'm noticing and really have to work on

I'll also add that a lot of girls on here are happy with their breast implants, and I am too, but if I could turn back time I may have chosen to spend the money on something else!
They're not some special glamorous thing that are going to make you feel that much better about yourself.
That being said, I appreciate taking care of my appearance and I will get more cosmetic surgery at some point. Just this time around I think I'll go to Mexico or smthng and make a vacation of it, lol.

Lol. Yes. That would be money well spent.
Do you at least get gratification looking at yourself in the mirror and saying wow? Not thinking what a man would think but just for your own gratification in thinking I have beautiful boobs.
Do you go to the mall try on a dress and feel happy with the way it fits on the top? Those things are important to me. And with your breasts and the way they turned out that's how I would feel. I would feel so proud and so beautiful on top.
I want to get them because I seriously look like a 12 year old boy from the waist up and a (thin) woman from the waist down. I am literally embarrassed to come out in a bikini top. Not only am I literally very flat chested, I have narrow shoulders and I'm pretty bony on top in comparison to my bottom. I'm embarrassed for my husband to see my breasts. It's not really about what he thinks it's about me. I don't like what I see in the mirror. I would get them strictly for myself. So that I can look in the mirror and feel like a woman. I know that sounds silly to some people, but I literally have no breasts.
Have you had any complications at all? Even little minor ones that maybe you didn't mention? I am so terrified serious complications. Not it hurts here and there. One boobs a little bigger than the other. I don't even care if I have excessive bruising or if one nipples a little higher. It's the big things that can cause me to have to have multiple revisions. And eventually possibly have to get them taken out. And end up with a flat chest and scars on top of it.

Wow, I was reading your posts like a book. I had to quickly put my kids to bed to see if you actually went through with the explant surgery. I can't believe this happened 3 years ago. I'm so glad you decided to post an update because it just popped up in my email & I clicked on it and couldn't stop reading. I think a lot of girls can benefit from your story. I'm glad to see you are pretty some what happy with them. That was a very interesting story to read. I hope you continue to post on here, I love your thoughts about life in general post.

Hey dear, it's been fascinating reading your story as I have been having same thoughts! I had my BA 4 yrs ago and now going for a revision to change to smaller size cos I feel to fake . I'm happy you've learnt to live with your boobs- they look very natural. I hope I will enjoy more my boobs #2 :) xx

Just a little review...not really on implants just life in general..
Janna1October 14, 2015
So I am stuck inside my apartment with a horrible cold and too much time on my hands to think! This always seems to get me into trouble! Anyway I started to look at explant stories and pictures... And while I'm not deciding to explant at this time I thought I would make a review on body image and changes in life just as a way to vent.
I can say one thing that I've learnt is that while looks will do something for you in life and it's always positive to try and make yourself look and feel in a way that will make you feel good, they most certainly aren't everything. They're not going to get you the man of your dreams and in fact they may hinder that Dream as you will get judged by both men and women. This is a struggle for many women, I'm not stunningly gorgeous, I've been called 'pretty' but I see pretty beautiful women all over the place so it's nothing special in that manner. But maybe my outlook has been slightly skewed... As I choose to make a career change after implants where I would get more male attention than I've been used to. Nothing too racy... But a job requiring you to look pretty and be flirty. I will add that I moved to a new city after getting implants and I've been in this city for 7 months now. The problem now is that things haven't worked out the way I wanted. I had a fleeting glimpse of a potential relationship that never turned into anything and that felt like dissapointment. I got involved in a certain sort of crowd that comes with working in the bar industry and have ended up going to too many parties and overdoing it... and thus the only connections I've made here to make me feel settled are not really real ones... They're sort of just party friends... That only feel like 'sort of' real friends some of the time. To say the least though I've met a lot of interesting men... When I say interesting it's not in a positive way... Alcohol sometimes seems to bring out the bad side in people... Or at least allow to see their intentions very clearly. I've been pretty much single for four years now I think....and I can say I've really given it a good shot in this city. But nothing has stuck or felt right even though I met a couple rare super sweet guys... That just weren't the ones. Lol.
So anyways I've made the decision to leave this city and yet again start somewhere new... And now I'm in this limbo of knowing that I'm leaving in a couple months... And partially being excited... Partially being sad at the things and people I will miss... Partially feeling like I failed. Like I'm running away from my problems when I should have everything I need right here. To say the least I'm feeling scared that im making the wrong decision... While knowing I cannot allow myself to stay in this lifestyle... And I have to do something drastic to try again. So here i am again in the process of getting rid of my things and packing up to start again fresh. I feel like if I could just leave tomorrow then it would be so much easier than waiting it out but I have to save the money and let my lease run out on my apartment.
Anyway in terms of body image,I still have these issues pop up here and there, it's like I always need to be perfecting myself in some way. I gained a little bit of weight but barely a noticeable amount so I decided I needed to try lipolaser. I went to my consultation and the lady said I don't even think you really need it.. But I paid for the treatments already anyway they were on sale. As I'm looking back on my older pictures on here I don't think my weight has fluctuated all that much and my body looks healthy as opposed to what I guess I see in the mirror sometimes that compels me to want to do something. I'm sure a lot of women can relate to this feeling. Maybe just too much time on my hands. I wanted to fill my time with work and keeping busy, but my boss wouldn't give out any extra hours so I've gotten into the routine of working part time and partying and recovering the rest of the time. Not good.
Anyway... I just wanted to come on here and vent because I'm feeling sick and tired and emotional about the changes coming... But that's life... You have to keep progressing and doing what you have to do to survive! i. Hoping for the best and that there are positive changes ahead. I'm hoping it'll be an easy transition and that I'll find everything I need. I'm hoping it will be easy to meet new people. I'm hoping I will grow up and be the mature self I was a couple of years ago before I entered this phase of my life.... I hope I'll realize what value this part of my life had and what it had to teach me....I hope I'll make it. Wish me luck!
