WORTH IT
Not too much to share other than photos.
Feeling better about myself though I do wish I had a little more up top, just a little.
The scars seems to be fading out a little more every few months. Anyone looking to explant should go for it and get back to your natural self, you are beautiful!

5 Months after explant
letsberealMay 16, 2017
Hi Ladies, it's been just over 5 months now since my explant surgery. Overall I'm feeling about the same health-wise. My healthy eating had slipped a little bit from time to time, but overall I'm still keeping unhealthy foods out. I am feeling a lot better now emotionally about my tiny size and I don't dwell on it nearly as much now. Of course I still wish they would fluff, but they do seem to look a little bigger before my cycle. The photos I've included were taken right before my cycle, so it may appear like they've fluffed but it's just hormonal. My crease lines have raised up a bit and the scars are fading slowly but surely. The only bras I've found so far that fit at all are one kind by Warners. I still want to look in Victoria's Secret. I hope all of you ladies are doing well, and anyone looking to explant should go for it!

You look great!!! Many congrats on your progress. Raising your arms you don't have any extra skin is great. I am 4 weeks post op and for some reason when I raise one arm I don't have any wrinkles and the other I do. Why this process can be so frustrating?! Seeing your pictures gives me hope for myself.

Thank you for your kind words.:). Give yourself more time and I think the skin will firm up more and will improve when you raise your arms. You look amazing by the way, I love your natural look and size! Try using coconut oil if you haven't or a firming lotion with natural ingredients. I do believe the skin will shrink back on its own in time though. Happy healing!!! :)

I'm happy to see that the crease has been able to slowly move up. The crease on my breasts is much lower than before I ever got implants and I keep wondering if it will move up at all. Your posts are giving me hope!! Since I have similar results to yours I am eager to see which bras work out for you. I noticed in an earlier post you mentioned the cups of the Airie bras were too close together which I remember was an issue when I was natural too. I'm glad to see all the positive changes for you :)

Thank you! The only bras I have found so far that are even remotely close to fitting me are some bras by Warners. I think they're called "simply" something so I will double check. I'm interested in ordering some bras from Lula Lu but haven't yet. I'm glad my posts are giving you hope. The crease line took awhile to move up but it did happen so there is hope!

Hi Ladies, I haven't updated in awhile but here are a few new pics. Not much has changed except I'm starting to feel more comfortable in my own skin. I found a bra by Warners that almost fits right in a 34A, but the cups are a little close together to be a perfect fit. I just looked at a review of someone who just got implants at age 20. She was beautiful before implants but was very self critical about her small natural breasts, which to me were beautiful. She even called them "so ugly" which they weren't. It brought me back to when I got implants and I still wish I had never messed with what God blessed me with. I felt like writing to this girl to tell her she was perfect before and she may live to regret her decision, but I decided not to write anything because it will most likely fall on deaf ears. I wish these young girls, even women who want to change after kids, would look deeper inside and realize we are more than our breast size. Of course, I still wish I had a little more up top than I do, but it so doesn't matter. I am enough and we need to remind ourselves that we are enough each and every day. We are still given the wrong message from many sources about how we should look, when being healthy and treating our bodies like the temples that they are is what we should be focused on. I wish breast implants were banned once and for all for the toxic bags that they are. I'm still trying to gently detox all of the nasty chemicals that were fermenting in my body for so long around my implants. What a waste of energy, money and my precious time those implants were. I'm so glad they're out and I'm trying to get back to the health I once had. It's a long journey and a tough lesson, but hopefully some women will read our stories and decide to not get implants. Much love to all of you ladies.

I couldn't agree more! I wish some one would have told me at the age of 26 how they would look and feel 20 years later. Feels amazing to hug my children and sleep on my stomach again. I've also been sick with one thing after another for the last 5 years ( after capsular contracture ) and I'm hoping my immune system will be stronger now they are gone. Mine aren't perfect but considering what I put them through they are no too bad! It is a tough lesson, I feel so stupid and guilty but we learn and now I appreciate what I do have ... the way I was supposed to be, I'm thankful and amazed at how our bodies recover. I think your results look great, they suit your petite frame. Feels good to be free! Good luck with the rest of your healing and hope your health improves [RS bleep]

Thank you for your update and your photos, all of it has been helpful!
I am almost 7 weeks post op and I can relate to so many of your challenges. I have found some bras that I do like, I went to Victoria Secret and bought a couple of sets. I have been on a mission to find things that make me feel feminine it makes a huge difference. I also have had to find tops that make me feel good as well. I had implants for over 27 years so I'm not use to dressing my body it is getting better.
I am wondering how many things will improve with my health after removing my implants. My hair has improved and I'm certain that is just the start.
It is so sad that we are so tough on ourselves about our bodies considering the amazing things it's done for us!
