Breast Explant

I want to thank all the women out there who have posted their journeys on breast explantation. In hopes of helping others, I would like to share my journey. I had saline breast implants for 16 years. I put in a very small size (probably a b cup). About 4 years ago I got capsular contracture in one breast, and my breasts got so big, at least for me. It was time to remove and replace or just remove. For me the choice was easy due to my age and not wanting to have any further surgeries. Let me say that my breast size before implants would not fit in any bra. Totally flat. After surgery, I was prepared for the worst, but honestly they look the same as before I put them in. I know they will get better every day. I had drains in both breasts. I'm posting a before picture. I will try to post more pictures later

This was taken 4 days post op. I had a lot of work on the left breast due to CC. I'm not bouncing back as fast as I thought. This week I get the stitches out. I will say it's a shock seeing them.
