They're Out! - Austin, TX

A little helping handful

$1,900
I got my padded sports bra in and its definitely an improvement! It's called a Handful Bra- cute right?! I got it on Amazon and it will make going back to work tomorrow just a little easier! Oh and it comes in a cute mesh pouch for washing :) It's got small/medium pads but they're removable so after recovery a little silicone cutlet could fit in there nicely.

Thanks for sharing about the padded sports bra!! You look fantastic!! Don't let your husband feel disappointed! You look 10 years younger and your stomach is so flat!
Thanks so much! I feel like I have a more youthful body as well, the implants made me feel matronly, ya know? Still haven't even showed Hubby, but I think he'll enjoy having a whole new set of boobs eventually, he's just resistant to change.
Your breasts are gorgeous. I'm so glad you decided to explant!
I agree with toocomplicated...your boobs make you look very youthful....I couldn't put my finger on it before....but that is what it is, it makes you look very youthful....smaller boobs are definitely very youthful looking....and I agree your stomach is sooooo flat. I was looking at gwyneth paltrow pics today (not sure of spelling!) and she looks amazing and very youthful and it's because of the cute smaller breasts!! :-)xxxx
I don't know if its me. But it seems like a lot of people got implants in their 20's because they wanted to look more mature or womenly. Now that we're older (I did a lot of growing since 21) we're like screw mature, I want my small young breasts!
:) !!!
Congrats, they look so much better & will Bly get better with time! I'm 4 days post explanation myself. Soooo happy to be me & free of those damn implants. 16 1/2 yrs later I'm finally free! :-)
Isn't it a great place to be? I love my new "breasts" and think getting them out was a great decision. Congrats!
congrats to you. I have had my silicone implants in for over 13 years and they are getting hard as a rock ( my husband says they are fine, but I know different) I had saline implants 1st but deflated after a year, then got the silicone. I am now going to research costs and Dr.'s. Any info you have Please share! Thanks, Shannon
Thanks for info on Handful bra, I just ordered one! I don't want to walk back into my work out class and feel like everyone is staring. This bra will help me feel like the change is less severe!

You look fantastic!!
Thanks! Not as good as you though! Va Va Voom!
;) well I'm a couple weeks ahead of you. I think my results were similar to yours at that stage. Isn't it awesome to be implant free tho? Its been the best decision I've made in a long time:)
Exactly! Smartest thing i've ever done.

They look amazing- so happy for you! I am just starting this path but I can hardly wait until I'm where you are. I am older though and things are different - apparently capsulectomy and blah anesthesia but I'm so over this plastic bag worry. Congrats! You look great, natural, and great natural!
I see it's been awhile (like four years!) so I don't even know if you will see this but I wonder how they are doing now?
