Saline Implant Removal, Breast Lift and Fat Transfer

Just wanted to update on healing. Probably not a whole lot of noticeable change... my scars are continuing to gradually lighten. My areola scars have healed to a fine white line - noticeable to me but probably no one else. I know someone who does professional nipple tattooing and think I might talk with her this summer about filling in the white scars. I’m somewhere between a very full 34 C and 34D bra.... with a push-up, my size is almost the same as with my old implants. Next update I give will probably in a few months when I get my first mammogram following surgery.

My scars are still very pink, but I think that is more from the laser treatments - the scars around my nipples are fine white. Still very happy with everything. Bought bras at Aerie and I’m a 34 D? That was kind of a surprise but my breasts have always been wide so I guess with the lift and fat transfer, I’m just more natural looking in my bras rather than the upper pole fullness and roundness you get from saline implants.... I don’t miss that at all.

Everything has been pretty stable - since my last laser scar treatment was about 3 weeks ago, the redness of my scars should now get a chance to fade. Before, just as the redness started to fade, the next laser treatment would arrive and they were back to bright red. I have a slightly thicker scar underneath my breast on the side where an absorbable suture spit, but overall, the scars of the breast lift were worth the trade off for final shape. My vertical scar seems smooth so time will tell how the 3 laser scar treatments helped during the healing process. Glad I explanted now and didn’t wait longer- I really like being implant free and feel lucky to have great results.
