Five weeks post-op

Well, I'm a month and a week since explant and lift surgery and doing well. I'm healing more slowly than I would like, (still have scabbing) but the swelling has decreased dramatically and I am completely pain free. I'm even able to pick up my 15 month old granddaughter with ease!

I always worry that my pics will scare off women who are considering surgery, (the pics always seem to emphasize the wounds) and look so gross, but I appreciated so much the candor and honesty of the women who shared and helped me, so I'll post despite my concerns. One really positive thing is that I have absolutely regained, (if not increased) areola sensitivity and this was a great relief for me. For those ladies who have naturally small busts, you may not be aware how lucky you are. Most naturally big busted women have limited sensation, and after breast feeding four babies, mine were all but completely without sensation. Unexpected bonus!

I continue to be so thrilled with my decision to have the implants removed, and feel so relieved every day to have myself back. So if you are just now seeing my pics, try not to be too alarmed, it's all been worth it and then some!

Post Op - Day 19

Bruising and scabbing is still prominent, but no pain at all. The swelling has decreased, and my ability to sleep has dramatically improved. For whatever reason the pics make the incisions look so much scarier than they are in person. Still super happy with my decision to get implants out, tho I do wish the results were smaller. My PS said size will not be definite until 3 months post op, but I don't see them decreasing much as this is the size I was before the implants. Oh well, perfection is not a requirement for me to be so very grateful for a successful surgery and a healthy body!

Post Op Day 5 - bandages come off

For some reason this 1st view with bandages offdid not post the first go round. Pics are now a bit out of order, but you get the gist... lots of bruising, swelling and redness!
