You look fantastic!!! I am now at the 3 month mark!! Yea me!! It seems my inner stitches are all dissolved now. My scars are not bunchy under the skin. Scars are healing nicely. Good luck at your appointment. I was suppose to go for an appointment too but I'm good no problems so I'm not going for a visit. You look great!!
Thanks i cancelled my appointment because my husband has to work and wont be able to take me. I was wondering how your muscles feel? Mine were put in under the muscle and im afraid theyre damahed and wont ever heal
Yes mine were under muscle too. When I flex my chest muscle they look weird. But what I'm noticing is small changes now that I'm at 3 months. They seem to be lifting a little bit. About 2 weeks ago I played with my little neighbor we played catch and for a couple of days my chest muscles were sore. Not horrible but a little sore.i guess I'm wondering if the muscle reattaches after awhile. Because I left the capsule in so until it dissolves I wonder how it effects the muscle. Oh well I'm happy and it seems like they are still changing. I know most people say a year. So I guess we just go with the flow. We are still healing but at 3 months I do feel better and I don't really have the muscle pains that I did before. I get an occasional twinge every now and then. I posted n update with pics earlier today.
looking great thus far! can i ask how you decided if you were going to get a lift or not?
Never considered a lift. Ive seen plenty of mature saggy boobs and they were just as sexy as any perky boobs ")
Congrats you look beautiful. I just made 4 months and feel like I can now be active again. But it really took me this long to feel like I might not hurt something. Hope you are well!

Five weeks post op and need advice from other explanters

So im having pain off and on in one tiny area of one breast. Im going to start my period but i dont think its that. Could it be a muscle ? If youre an explanter please let me know of any pain you had and when you had it and how often oh and when it went away.

Of course any discomfort worries me to think i may have breast cancer . I think thats why i enjoyed implants because i couldnt feel my breast. Since i first got breast tissue id rub press to feel and lumps. Couldn't understand what was what.

So please share your five week mark. Im interested.

I'm only a week tomorrow but I'm having a pain in my arm pit on right side and it's radiating down my arm.
I had a weird pain there too. Mostly on my right but this pain is lower. My Husband days ive been complaining of it for the past month here and there so maybe hes right and im just paranoid.
I have a lot more sensitivity now. My explant was 3 weeks ago. Sometimes the pain seems to be from the incisions, sometimes it's my nipples and sometimes it feels like just the inside of the area around the top of my breasts. I just remind myself that while I had a skilled surgeon, it is still being cut with a knife and basically an assault on the body. If I think about the entire procedure and what actually happened, it makes sense that there will be some pain on and off for a while. They did tell me to expect 6-8 weeks for the tissue to heal.
Okay. Im just five weeks post op so ill give myself more time to heal and keep my band on as much as i can to hopefully bind everything together better.
I had a lot of random pains that I couldn't decipher between muscle pain or tissues healing or what. The one I had the most was around the month mark, my upper side of my right breast felt like it had swollen lymph nodes/glands. It was very uncomfortable and gave me a lot of anxiety, especially because I had a tiny seroma also in that breast. It did get better on its own!!!!

A month after post op

I took my binder off earlier because i spray tanned . Ill probably put it on later over a tank top lol. Anyways no more pain. I can almost sleep comfortable in my belly . Here are pictures. It looks like one sags way more but i swear its not as bad as the pictures. Maybe Its the way i hold my phone ? The upper dent looks gone. Im very happy with my results. Im not totally ready to keep the bindet off. Maybe in a month . I have a bachelorette party to go to Saturday so obviously i wont be wearing it then. But as soon as i get home sunday im going to come home and put on my pjs and binder and relax.

So basically everything went well im healed and happy thank God! Im so thankful i had the cash to get it done and that i took them out before i got sick. My bells palsy has improved so much im like 99.9% normal. My memory and sharpness is coming back. I thought it was gone due to smoking pot but nope its still there. Im active and have energy, the heat just makes me want to hibernate until winter but ill make it and hopefully ill lose weight in this california heat. Anyways im off to bed !
