PROFILE

My PS is in Fall River MA. He did an excellent job explanting. Smaller incision than I originally had, didn't try to sell me anything, and answered all my questions before I even asked. It's almost like he knew what my concerns would be by choosing to explant. He was very nice, sincere, and wasn't going around the bush trying to sell ANYTHING. He's very honest his office is so nicely decorated too. Oh...he looks like Jim Carey!!!

i wonder who did your surgery the first time? and what profile you had ? your implants looked amazing probably the best implants on this site ever
congrats on taking them out if thats what you wanted more power to you! did your boobs go back to normal natural appearance all the way?
How much did it cost to explant? I want mine out. They are 17 years old & at making me ill.
My saline implants are making me sick. I am a professional dancer/acrobat. Super athletic. No medical issue until recently diagnosed w/hypothyroidism, double vision, ringing ears etc. I have black discharge from 1 nipple which is probably mold. The implants are 17 years old.
Look up the FB group Breast Implant Illness and healing by Nicole Asap! Tons of information on explanting and similar stories. Approved surgeons list for PROPER explant surgery etc.. Thanks to the this I am 4 weeks post op and healing happily.

Post op a week and two days :)

Here are a few pics. Including my surgi glue shot. When it comes out I'm sure it won't be bad at all though it looks scary now. I'm definitely bouncing right back just like my ps said rather quickly. Feeling good. I can't wait to sleep on my belly I can't stress it enough, I'm not a back sleeper :/ I've tried the side but it's still uncomfortable. It hurts a but to go on my side. Between gravity and incision getting crunched it's not a comfortable pose yet. For only a week and two days post op though I'm very happy :)

1 week post op appt

My post op appointment today went well. I have been healing well. The visit was rather quick. I guess because things went so well and I only had a simple removal with an even smaller incision than augmentation. I am also on no prescribed pain meds or antibiotics (take Motrin as needed none today). So he looked and felt, it's all good :) feeling much better too. This is not even close to getting the augmentation. Healing is much nicer!
