I have been reading all of these stories and what brave women are out there. I am so nervous and scared that when I get them extracted I will have nothing. I went from a B-C to a DD and now that I have gained weight I am at a 34 H. This is going to be a new adventure. I will post pictures soon, I am work now.

You sound just like me! I have my explant scheduled for Monday at noon! I was a A/B cup before implants & I am now a 30FF/G. I am having mine removed under local anesthetic. I am having the capsules left in & I am not getting a lift or other implants put in. What kind of explant surgery are you having??
I am so happy to have this sight. I know my boobs will look rough for the first couple of months but I am hoping they voice back to being ok. Our bodies can do amazing things!! If I am still not happy after 6+ months I will reevaluate with the possibility of either getting a lift or a lift w fat transfer (depending on how much natural breast tissue I have left).
Good Luck with you surgery!
And sending positive vibes your way!! :)

I'm not quite sure what type of explant. All I know is that they are going in where the original inscision was and then taking them out not sure if the Dr. will do an internal lift or something else, I went in to see about getting a reduction but I didn't know that they couldn't do that and take the implants out at the same time. I didn't do a lot of research on the actual surgery, all I wanted was to be smaller and my back,shoulders,and neck to stop hurting. So when he said I needed them out first and then after they had healed (6 mos ) then we could reevaluate. I am hoping that they will look good and I won't have to have the reduction.

That is exactly the same advice my PS gave me. To get them out & reevaluate later on down the road!

Hi Holly72120
Let us know a little more about you and what and how you're having your explant and maybe we can offer some reassurance. Maybe read some of our own journeys and ask questions. The site is a great form of support x

Please share your after experience with us. I too went from a 34B to a 34 DD and have regretted it ever since. I asked for a large C/small D and got more than I bargained for and then gained weight with age. I'm now 39 with no children and I look fat in EVERYTHING. I'm scared for the after effect. Your story will be very helpful to many I'm sure, especially me. Thank you! ❤️
