Breast explant and Lift

I have had two breast surgeries in the past, a lift and then a subsequent lift with implants. I got the implants because my "man" at the time talked me into it. I never liked them but would have kept them had I not gained 2 cup sizes in the last year. I saw Dr. Darrow in Boston. He and his staff were wonderful. I'm only 24 hours post and did not take pre pictures. I decided to post a review because I've gotten so much knowledge from other women who've gone through the same thing.

Hello! They look amazing especially for right after surgery. I'm contemplating removing my under the muscle 500 cc silicone implants for health reasons but am petrified of the final results. How are yours healing now?

They are great. No pain and looks so much better. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Thank you for posting this :) I just had a consult with Dr.Darrow today for this same surgery! Did you get the capsule removed as well or did he deflate the implant and remove with smaller scar? I'm torn with what to do.

Also want to add, they look great already!! You must be so excited and relieved. Will definitely follow along to see if you post more updates.

Thanks for the comments bb.boo. I did not have the capsule taken out but I had a lift so it was more complicated than just a small scar. I just posted new pictures. Very happy with the result.

Thanks for the response! I called to schedule my surgery with Dr. Darrow. This website has been so helpful in giving confidence that great results can come from explant.

Three days post explant and lift.

I feel great and am going back to work today. I'm tired but since it's Friday, I'll work today and rest for the next two. They look better from my previous picture. Don't need anything other than Tylenol. Very happy I did this and can't wait to get back to the gym. My only area of concern is the right nipple which is a little darker because of poor blood flow. Has anyone else had this issue?

Your results look amazing! I'm getting a lift too. I'm so happy you posted because I didn't see many examples of explant and lift pictures in his reviews.

10 Days post Lift and explant

I had my lift and explant 10 days ago. I'm still very Hali with the results and feel back to normal. I'll wait another 3 or 4 weeks before exercising but would be in the gym if the doctor hadn't said "wait!"

I meant to say HAPPY with results not "Hali!"

You look great! Everything seems to be healing nicely. Your final result will be gorgeous. I'm having implants removed and a lift on Tuesday. Can't wait!

Good Luck! I'm feeling great and couldn't be happier. I feel so much thinner and my clothes fit much better.
