38 Year Old Mother of One

Thank you, it's a support bra my surgeon gave me well in fact he gave 2. I'll get the name of it and let you know Sunday after my app. X x

Aw good, please do. It looks really compressing so should help tissue repair. My consult a week away now. Mourning loosing my boobs loss already but I am so fatigued all the time . I just hope the explant when I do get it helps my energy levels. Have u noticed a difference in energy or brain clarity yet ??

I have to say I did not really have any problems with them if im honest maybe the fact their only 6 years old. I have lots of after pictures surgeon done for me away from home for few days so come Friday evening I'll have all up and hopefully it will put your mind at ease. I have to say my breasts are coming on great I am delighted so far and also scars are healing great. Best of luck with consultation. It is the right decision we are far more visible in our own bodies. Ps I find I am not sleeping at all that much but I think it's from doing nothing as I'm of work for few weeks. Xx

Thanks for ur reply. Yes I know deep down it really is. I just think if I could get my body back to pre BA shape it would make me feel more in proportion. I am about 10 lbs heavier than I would like. Aw if it's not one thing it's another !! But the fatigue stops me having consistent training. Glad ur scars r healing well. I am thinking of starting bio oil or something now to help prevent stretch marks, I don't have any now but just in case. Sorry u aren't sleeping the best. A really good supplement to take is Tarte Cherry extract liquid. Great for melatonin for sleep and for imflamation. Holland and Barrett do it or a good health shop. Gives better quality skeep and tastes great. Look forward to ur update. Take care x

Thanks coraline I'll try that supplement. A good detox a few months after explant should sort any weight issues I done one 7 months ago through a dietician and lost 10 pound and now altogether 20 pound with just good diet. I would not worry about weight this side of explant you have enough to think of. It will all come together you would be amazed at what us ladies can achieve x x

Hi coraline I have done lots of research on having drains and a deep conversation with my own surgeon. The drains are highly important as to aid in healing and not have any fluid build up as this will have to be drained in office. A lot of ladies on here had no drains and did have fluid that had to be drained. I have drains with a good flow of fluid for 2 days after enbloc, if you don't get them were is this fluid going to go?? It will cause you time, pain and maybe more money to get them drained via syringe through the breast. As I've posted my surgeon looked after me the way he said his own sister. Do you mind me asking how much you are paying

Thanks for your reply Terix. See I was thinking the same. He has to send me out a price but I rang the clinin one day and they said could be around £1800 to £2000. My consult was 15 mins for £100. How long was your consult? Did u get any iternal repair work done ?? How r u feeling now ??

Hi coraline, no I didn't get repair on inside as drains help everything heal my surgeon also said everything looked good. I'm delighted wit my result so far my scars are practically invisible well the right one is. The left one a little lumpy but it will be fine. Breasts still a little tender but really coming on. I have pictures but don't want to put up here as my rings watch ect on it and coming from ireland I don't want my buisness out there I can email if you like. My consult was an hr at 200 euro but the 200 was knocked of the price. I'm feeling great but not sleeping great as I said before I'm not doing much am looking forward to going back to work next week.

Totally understand not putting up any more pics. Ireland is defo a small place ! Glad to hear u r pleased with ur results . And great that the scars r healing good . I know ur surgeon said he didn't think u needed en bloc but had he done many en blocs and removals only? Mine said he does from time to time. He is more into reconstruction and placing implants. Hey know pressure on sharing ur pics but would appreciate if u did - I could send u mine if u wish just to show I am not a weirdo ! I have before implant pics and after. I dunno if I am comfortable going to my implanting surgeon , will not rule out seeing yours for a consult at some point. Would rathere not have to fly if I can help it.

What I'll do is ill take new ones myself that way no thing else showing rings watch ect. I didn't need an enbloc as he removed all my capsules I was 2 and half hrs in surgery must have been some scraping going on

Was just thinking there I had an enbloc removal as my implants and capsule were taking out intact then the small bit of capsule that was left he removed all in all 99.9 pc. An enbloc is the removel of implants intact with scar tissue.

Oh so it was en bloc . I know it can be confusing can't it. Hey no pressure on pics. Totally up to u. 2.5hrs sounds about right from what u have read. My surgeon says it will take around an hour capsules and all !!??

When are you hoping to remove them?? Hope you find a surgeon soon

I like to be prepared well on advance to build up the courage and money ! To do it but was hoping September 2017. I have to research until I can research no more! Thanks for all ur repliesx

That's good you have plenty of time to research and get the right surgeon. I still can't believe I done it i look so different my friend reckon 10 years younger. Was out sat night got lots of attention my husband wasn't to impressed

Hi coraline I'm healing fine scar extremely good breasts still a little tender to be honest I'm still a bit afraid to touch them as in showering and rubbing bio oil on them I'm very gentle with them. There still quiet empty and saggy when I lift my arm up. Kinda hoping they will fill out some more I'm a 36c empty cup but they do look good considering what they have been through thanks to me lol. I am delighted to have the implants out and have no regrets only that I put them in in the first place but what's done is done I won't be going at them again they are what they are. Hope your keeping well and had a lovely Christmas
