I am 4 weeks post op and love my new perky "C" cup. The first week after surgery was tough for me. I had drainage tubes and could not sleep comfortable. I found myself in the living room in the recliner.

At 27 i had large sagging breast( no volume) from the birth of my two sons. After some research I decided to go with implants to add volume. Over the years as my weight went up and down my breast got larger with more sag. I went from a 36D to a 36DDD; along with the added size came back and shoulder pain. I stopped enjoying running and aerobics as sports bras did not keep my breast snug(too heavy). To help relieve some of the pressure on my back i opted for implant removal. I am currently one week post op and my back feels so much better. I will have a reduction and lift in March. I am enjoying the old me and looking forward to getting back to what I enjoy.

I'm glad you're experiencing less pain without the implants! Thank you so much for sharing your experience on RealSelf. If you feel comfortable sharing them, we'd love to see your before and after photos!

I will be happy to add some photos Angiemcc.
congratulations on your explant and good luck with your surgery next month! would love to see your pics after reduction and lift!
Thank you NervousGirlie! I am excited and will post some pics after my reduction and lift.
that is sooo awesome that you are excited! i am jealous because i was so scared!
you are a rarity on this forum. most of us are afraid, we won't have anything left! how much of a reduction are you planning? what cup size are you aiming for?
I am hoping for a full C-cup. I am hoping the lift will give me a more youthful perky look. I long for the day I can put on a spaghetti strap top without a bra. :-)
