Explant with Capsulectomy and Lift

It has been one month since my explant with capsulectomy and lift. The results are better than I expected. Before children i was within 3 pounds of my current weight and my breast were a small B. I am now measuring a small C cup and many of the bras I wore with the implants still fit, i just have less cleavage. I also look thinner in all of my clothes . In fact people that do not know about the procedure keep saying did you lose weight? I feel like myself again and look forward to seeing if the pain i had in my right side chest and back stays away now that the implant was removed from behind the muscle.
The most difficult part of recovery was the itching from the tape. The pain was moderate from the incisions the first 3 days. The tape keeps the incision held tight to minimize scarring and mine stayed on until the third week which the doctor said is ideal. At one month I can do most everything, i'm easing back into yoga and light weights and if I feel burning or pulling I ease off. I wish I had had a lift 14 years ago but you live and learn.

14 years ago, at 36, after breast feeding 3 babies in 5 years I went to see the doctor for an umbilical hernia repair and a C-section revision . I talked to the doctor about getting a lift but ended up getting 250 cc implants. I was never completely comfortable with implants and so after 14 years and some pain issues, i had them explanted with the same wonderful surgeon.Im now 50 and feel comfortable with my breast post surgery.
