Exceeded my Expectations

17 yr old, textured, round, saline filled, sub muscular placed breast implants.
After having breast implants for 17 years I was extremely scared of removing them. I really wanted the implants gone, but really worried about how I would look and feel without them. What finally made me take them out was when I realized I might have BII (breast implant illness). I know BII is not medically recognized as an illness, but the way I was feeling it was worth removing my implants and facing ugly breast forever.
I went to 2 previous consultations prior to meeting Dr. Truong, and the other 2 PS scared me so much and insisted I would need another implant and a lift. When I finally met with Dr. Truong he listened to my concerns analysis my breast tissue and gave me a lot of hope. No implant needed he said and may not need a lift, but even if I did need a lift I would have to wait 12 months after explant. That was something I could live with.
Well it’s been 4 weeks since my explant and I couldn’t be happier. Explant and Capsulectomy PS are hard to find. Dr. Truong was so confident that he completely put me at ease. He treated me accordingly and independently to my needs.
My natural breast look fantastic after 4 weeks. I am not swollen and all the bruising has vanished. My muscles have attached nicely and my scars are healing without any problems. My breast skin is still retracting like Dr. Truong said it would and I see improvements almost everyday. I was 32ddd with implants now I am 32c and I am very hopeful for the future.
As for BII, in my case it is very real. The first thing that disappeared was body odor it happened immediately after surgery, but the biggest changes begin happening 2 weeks later. My long list has misalignments that I thought age was the problem.
The following is a list of physical improvements since breast explant capsulectomy:
*No early naps
*Sleeping throughout the entire night without getting up
*Falling asleep within minutes after laying down for the night
*No chronic upset stomach
*Libido increase, by a lot
*Not extremely thirsty ( I use think that I was diabetic bc I always had extreme thirst)
*No more dry skin around the eyes
*No more hip pains or shoulder pains ( this vanished immediately after surgery)
*No more anxiety (I thought this was a normal behavior for me)
*Clean energy (before explant I was super hyper and anxious all the time, now I have lasting energy without the obnoxious feeling)
*My temperament is relaxed (I feel normal)
*No chronic headaches and migraines
*No PMS this cycle ( this is unbelievable bc I also thought this was very normal)
*No body odor (one armpit really smelled even right after shower and I had tried everything to make the stink go away. I also had a weird smell coming from the center of my head. Both of those issues are completely gone! I don’t even wear deodorants and I don’t need them, just ask my husband)
I had most of this symptoms chronically for at least 10 years
I would definitely recommend Dr. Truong. He is confident, knowledgeable and worth every cent.

Breast implant illness, post implant update

I officially reached 2 months post implants removal and I am thrilled with how I physically feel. I have lost about 12 pounds without changing anything in my lifestyle. Here are some pics.
Notice how much my cellulite has diminished and my thighs look thinner and I have NOT been exercising since surgery.

Do you feel they made you gain weight? I feel mine have. I get mine out in December.

The first 5 years with the implants I was fine (from age 21-26). Than after the 5 years I started feeling physically different and gaining weight, but within that time at 27yrs I become pregnant so I attributed everything to life changes/aging. By the time I was 30 years old I was working out more than ever before, eating healthier, and visiting doctors a lot trying to figure out why I was always feeling terrible. To top it off at 35yrs I had a miscarriage and gained tons of weight that I just didn’t lose until now that I removed the implants at the age 38. Almost immediately I lost 5lbs, within the first 3 days, and I know that both implants weight 2.5lbs together. Today I am 13 lbs lighter and almost 2 clothes sizes smaller, and my waistline is so much smaller. I do believe the implants kept me inflamed and just heavier.
Now my body looks and feels normal.
I feel like it’s the best thing I could have done for my health and my aesthetic look.
I hope my story helps you.
Best wishes to you with your surgery

You look incredible! Thank you for sharing your story and photos. I'm contemplating explant now—so glad it worked out for you. Would you mind sharing what doctors scared you and what size you were pre-implants?

I was Victoria Secret bra size 32 ddd, today I fit VS bra 30d. Skin is retracting slowly, but beautifully. Every month I look better than the last.
