One last suggestion....

My last piece of advice to anyone undergoing surgery of any kind is find yourself a good massage therapist to help keep circulation and blood flowing to your healing parts. Long term this is the best remedy I have found for aches, pains, soreness, loss of range of motion and posture adjustment as your body realigns to your new body structure. Also vitamins and healthy food are crucial during recovery as your body needs nutrients to rebuild itself. No one in the doctors offices I have visited ever suggested any of this to me so I am putting it out there. (Use massage after major recovery pain has subsided of course so as not to overdo it. I waited over a month post removal to begin lymphatic drainage massage which has been instrumental in getting me back to my healthy self.) Best wishes! To your health!!

I know that the Lymph Drainage Therapy was key in my positive results and speedy healing and especially in helping my body detox any remaining toxins (mostly my under arm nodes). Thanks for sharing!! xo

Very well told! Could not agree more. It's interesting to note that as we get older we question more, do more of our own research and priorities change. I too did the implant thing twice and finally came to my senses. I'm glad you stressed the thing about finding the right doctor. You look great, happy healing!

Very pleased with amount of tissue remaining post removal. Peri aerolar scars healed up nicely considering they have been cut three times in three and 1/2 years! I was born a B, went to D/DD and now ended up a C post removal which is perfect for me. Very happy with appearance, shape, etc. Nipples are still as painful as they have been since original surgery. My husband says they look great. He mostly says he is happy to have his energetic wife back. We are both thrilled with the newly original me- after three years of pain and fatigue caused by this strange journey. Good riddance! All I can do with this colossal mistake now is hope my story helps others as I move forward happily implant free.

They look great & you just look so much better without them. That's quite a lot of breast tissue that you had!

Thank you so much for sharing all you did. This will certainly help others to explant. It certainly helped me.

Speaking for myself - here I am 5 days since explant and my nipples have been non stop tingling & filled with sensation! It is so very weird for me cause I lost almost all sensation in them after implanting thru them and by going under the breast for removal, I don't know if that changed something. But wow, I am feeling things I haven't felt in years! I refused to have my implants out thru the nipple in case of nipple cave in.

Yes, both nippleS gave lost pleasure sensation. It was altered after implant #1, worse after #2 and now it's still painful to the touch on both sides. Sad for me but I doubt it will ever feel good again. Sigh...

Sadly I mourn the loss of pleasure there. They still feel weird to the touch. I had capsules both times, removed and drains the second time only.

You look awesome! I have to ask did you also drop some weight after they were removed? You look fabulous!

Thank you!! Not yet...still carrying 15 pounds I gained since implants and related fatigue. Working out again now so hopefully soon I'll lose it!

I wonder how you and so many others seem to gain a cup after explant. Not to be rude, but did you gain weight or did you just gain tissue? Not saying you look like you gained weight. You look great. Just wondering for myself if this is possible without weight gain lol :)

I wonder too!!! It's a miracle that I still wear my implant sized bras! I did gain 15 pounds during time with implants since I felt sore and tired all the time so did not exercise much those years. I'm sure that's a factor. I plan to lose some,of it so I will post more pics if I do!

A few months down the road now and could not be happier with my choice to remove implants with no lift. I just went for a bra fitting and I am now a C cup, which is what I originally wanted before I started this whole implant journey in the first place! I was, originally a B. I am very pleased with the appearance post removal. My doctor was SO wrong to tell me I would be unhappy with the appearance of removal alone. That is NOT TRUE LADIES. I feel great and look like myself again. Still a bit sore when I overuse my arms and its taking awhile to recover fully enough to lift weights and exercise like I used to pre original surgery, but the wait will be worth it. My energy level is so much higher and my joints feel so much better!! Im off all my joint supplements. (I was feeling like my body aged 10 years taking arthritis supplements) Back to myself and feeling FREE again!

I am so happy that you're so happy and you brought a smile to my face. So many of us have delayed explant mostly cause we don't know what to expect but this site proves you can have pleasing results! Not every story is the same, of course, but the majority are so just take the plunge. Just a few days for mine & I can't wait to feel this freeness the ladies speak of!

Best wishes for a successful procedure and speedy recovery...and lots of rediscovered freeness! I am now appreciating all the movements and I used to take for granted pre original surgery...like dancing with my arms up in the air! :)
