I am feeling great! The episodes are basically gone. I just make sure to eat enough and I am totally fine at night now :) I love my result. I mostly love that I feel healthy and don’t have any worry about two balls of goop under my chest. Sleeping is so comfortable. I can do push ups and lift heavy weights without a problem. The crazy thing is that I can feel a little dent where the implants used to be. Doesn’t bother me though. I am just happy to feel healthy and strong!

3 weeks post op :)
3 weeks post op. They are so cute! I am definitely happy with my decision. Definitely still sore. Still getting headaches. Haven’t lost any weight really. Can’t wait for 3 more weeks till I can start breaking a sweat! No more worrying about my implants. Love being natural! Weight gain isn’t bothering me as it once did...must be because I am accepting and loving the skin I am in!

Fantastic results! I’m glad you are loving them!
They look awesome. I have been thinking about removing mine due to weight gain as well. Glad to see that the results can be so beautiful.
I’m getting my explant with a lift with Dr. Meger on 7/8 and I can’t wait! I wish I never got implants!
Same here! Good luck! He's great!
By the way great results!
Thank you. My only concern is he is saying I don’t need my capsule removed. I’m at a crossroad with that.
I asked him to remove the capsule and he did. He attempted en bloc on the left, turned out to be total capsulectomy and on the right he cauterized 10% of it stuck to my chest wall. He will do what you ask him to do. I expressed my concern and he was receptive to it and did what needed to be done to reach my explant goals.
Perfect. Thanks for all your help. I can’t wait to be over all this.
When I was researching about explant, many surgeons said they will see the situation when opened and the necessity of removing the capsule. Sometimes, if the capsule is very thin and attached close to the lungs, there is a risk in removing it, but other then that, it’s advisable to always remove the capsule every time it’s possible. Mine was en block removal!
Thank you. I did call Dr. Megers office and spoke to the surgical
nurse and yes if something doesn’t look right they will remove it.

Omg I’m in love
I think things turn out the way they are meant to be. I should probably just have gotten a lift the first time around lol I could have saved myself so much money with doctor visits and explant surgery. At least I wasted no time getting them out when I thought they could be the problem to why I felt like crap every day. I feel great. They look great. The doc is so talented I am lucky to have had him. Sooooo glad he was my top choice!!!

You look amazing! I’m so happy for you! Have a speedy recovery!
Omg ... I’m so jealous (in a really nice supportive way... LOL). Your breasts look a lot like mine - I too put in implants vs doing the lift. Didn’t want the lollipop scars and was nervous. Now I want to explant.
Get the explant! I love my results!
Thanks for the reply. I know I know! I’ve been reading reviews and journeys for quite some time now. It will happen. :)
You look great! Thanks for sharing your story. I have had large implants for 3 years, I chose to go the implant route instead of a lift as well! I am experiencing exactly what your described, I feel like I can’t get a full breath anymore. Doctor has done all the work up and everything seems to be fine - so now I wonder if its the implants. I want these things out so bad. My hubby is trying to convince me to just go smaller but I want them out and a lift. But I really worry about not having sensation in my nipples. Do you mind sharing your experience with how your nipples are after the explant and lift? I don’t even care about the scars anymore, that the lift will leave, I just don’t want to have numbness. I also had a tummy tuck and some times I feel an itch but can’t scratch it as some of my belly remains a bit numb- not a nice feeling. So I don’t want that feeling on my breasts. Please share anything you can!! Thanks so much!!! I’m so happy for you!
Ahhh yes I do have that sometimes. It's mostly underneath the nipple that doesn't have feel but my nipples still do have feeling!
Thank you! Good to know!
