Dr. Prada Filled Me with Confidence and I'm really looking forward to my procedure

A few months out and they’re still tightening up!

WORTH IT$4,130
Just a quick update from about 3.5 months post-explant! They look great. They’re still firming up noticeably, as expected. One of my nipples that lost sensation after the first surgery has gotten more feeling and is more responsive. Overall I am so so pleased I did it.

Wow! You look great!! Gives me hope for mine to fluff up too.
This is super helpful. I am having my implants removed in a month. Thank you for posting.
I had mine removed 3 days ago.
I'm so happy. Hopefully you will be to.
Congratulations! Your breasts look lovely, natural, and healthy. Thank you for inspiring other women who are considering explant. Your outcome is just beautiful!
You look awesome! I am very happy with my explant and lift with Dr. Meger as well. Best decision I made!
You look amazing! Congrats! You mentioned in your first post something about raising one nipple. Is that something they can do? Just asking because I’m having mine out and one nipple is way lower but I want to a avoid a lift.
They can do a lift on just the areola. I didn’t end up getting that done, and I’m happy I didn’t because now that I’m a year post-op, my nipples are perfectly symmetrical naturally.

4 weeks out!!

So I’m 4 weeks (28 days) out! I had a (final!) follow-up with Dr. Prada yesterday. He said that they looked great and had healed as expected. We agreed that they were a nice little size for my frame, even if the implants had looked lovely too. Dr. Prada gave me the all clear to resume any activities as I see fit. He confirmed his original statement that I didn’t (and likely wouldn’t) need a lift. He also told me that he really hadn’t done anything but pop the implants out quickly and sew me back up, but I disagreed. He did a hell of a lot more than that. Having him be involved in the post-op, LISTEN to me pre-op, and actually seem to care was so vital to me. Such a nice man. It was also a real, real pleasure to deal with his office and his lovely and qualified staff. Thank you, Dr. Prada. I know I wasn’t one of the more fun or interesting or money-making cases, but you treated me wonderfully regardless.

you look great. What cup size were you prior to implants?
28D and I'm 28E/30DD ish now
Ah ok. Thank you
I would suggest you check out the subreddit r/abrathatfits. I have what would be considered small breasts, and I did before as well.
You look great!! I hope I look like you after my explant!! Did you have your capsules removed?
I didn't have my capsules removed. My implants were intact so he just removed them, washed out the pockets, and closed me up.
You look awesome! How many cc implant did u have if i may ask? Im thinking about explant and try to understand how my boobs going look like when i remove
280ish I believe! Moderate profile silicone. They were small implants
Thank you so much for sharing your journey in such detail, it was so encouraging and informative! I'm a scheduled to get mine out on the 11th and am mostly excited but definitely nervous.
I was terrified and I think that's totally normal! It's an intimidating experience to get them out and now really know what your body will look like afterwards. I practice unconditional self-acceptance and that certainly helps, but I still slip sometimes. Ultimately, I was so happy to just have them out of my body that I would have been content with any outcome. I am so much more comfortable, freer, and MY CLOTHES FIT! I wish you all the best. Let me know how it goes.

So amazing looking!! You must be so glad to get those fake balls off your body!
I had my implants removed 6 days ago and have empty socks and wrinkly skin. Your photos have given me so much hope. You look absolutely AMAZING xx
They should plump up a little. If not you can always get a lift. I did an ex plant with a lift right away bc I knew I would not like the end result.
