Breast Implant Removal with Total Capsulectomy Day 1 after Surgery!
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!

3 Years Later
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.

Just a little review...not really on implants just life in general..
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!
