Hi everyone! I thought I’d make an updated post on how I’m doing in hopes of encouraging any women out there that are considering explant. I have no regrets and I’m so happy with my decision. The body has an amazing way of bouncing back and healing itself. A good doctor certainly helps! Looking back I realize I’ve been so hard on myself. I’m blessed to be healthy and I’m happy in my own skin. Implant free feels good! Best wishes and love to you all.

It's been 7 months. Can't believe it. It was honestly rough and I still have my ups and downs. But I would say the surgery was definitely a success. Where I started and I where I am 7 months later is very different! Sometimes I wish I could get fat grafting to replace the fullness I lost in my upper pole. But for now, it's nothing a push up bra can't fix! One of the most noticeable changes in my breasts was how much they evened out. (Quite noticeable asymmetry after removal)
I wish you all well in your journey! Physically and emotionally!

Thank you all for the kind words! I have been using Nip Fabs bust fix,day and night. Also taking an herbal supplement by Barlowe's Elixers (pueraria mirifica) for breast and skin health. I also wear an underwire bra every day and at night (non underwire soft bra by Hanes). This has been my routine and I think it may have helped!

Before implants and after removal comparison photos. I am using a product called Bust Fix by Nip/Fab. Still get discomfort from scar tissue on my left breast, but I try to ignore it or massage it away! Guess I still have some healing yet to do.
Wishing you all heath and happiness and hope you found my posts helpful in some way.

Hi! I just saw your comment. I’ve started taking MSM, which helps our bodies build collagen. It’s supposed to be so good for your body. I’ve only been taking it for about 2weeks. We shall see!

I think your natural breasts are beautiful--you have a lovely figure and I'm glad you are happy.
