Hi all,
I recovered from the infection which was very painful indeed (the antibiotics were so strong I then contracted C-difficile, which wiped me out energy wise for a good few months!)
But despite the odd freak out about the left one feeling different to the right, I've come to feel totally comfortable and happy with my decision.
I've fluffed so much and filled out a lot of the space which I'm thankful for.
One thing that did concern me was the texture and bumps of the breast tissue but I guess it's just all moulding back together now and this is just regular breast tissue.
I am so happy with my decision and wouldn't have had it any other way.
My advice to anyone is that the pre-nerves and stress are MUCH worse than the actual procedure, for me anyway - and I had a nasty infection too!
Nothing feels better than hugging someone you love and there being nothing false I between you.
Love your beautiful selves and bodies - we are all divinely unique and special.
Much love and luck to all explanters

You look great!! So happy that YOU are happy with the explants, and honestly you look great. You "fluffed up" as you mentioned at the post-surgery photo post. Look like a perfect "champagne glass" 34B to me! (considering an expant myself, but I was a 34AA beforehand, and have been 34D for 15+ years, oh my!). Cheers !

Infection in left boob :(

The hospital said it was indeed an infection, very swollen and red - the examination was agonising.

This is the most pain I've had during this whole experience. Have a course of anti-biotics which should clear it up soon.

In the photo it looks ok doesn't it, but it hurts so so much I thought it would be much noticably red and sore looking. Perhaps some of it is internal infection too.

Can't sleep, so painful

Left boob is really uncomfortable - worse than when I had it done in fact. Blowing cool air on it helps but I worry I may have some fluid or blood accumulation , the incision is swollen and it feels like it's throbbing.

I had this done via the NHS so there is no one I can call to check with, I have my appointment tomorrow so not long to wait but struggling to sleep with it.

Ouch :( and it was going so well

So sorry, it definitely sounds like you've developed an infection or hematoma or seroma or something. Hope you can get your answers tomorrow! In the meantime can you put an ice pack (or even frozen peas or something) on it to help it?
