Explant surgery DONE!

I am officially done with my explant and lift surgery. Thought I would share my journey for anyone still on the fence about getting it done.
Back in 2012 I was newly finished nursing my second child. We were taking a break from having more children so I decided to get implants to help get more volume. I was always a 34C before kids and after a very deflated 34B. I was talked into getting 550cc silicone under the muscle to prevent a lift. I liked them at first, I was a 34D. But after they fluffed I was a 34DD. Kind of big and I started not liking them. Within 6 months of getting the implants, I gained 10 lbs. didn’t change my diet and I was still in my 20’s. A few years later I wanted the implants out as i was starting to have some pain in them but I didn’t want them back in, then I got pregnant with my third. I knew I wanted one more so I waited. After breastfeeding and nursing my boobs were ginormous. Maybe a E/F, depending on the brand. So between the size and the pain, I wanted them out sooner than later. I talked to a couple of surgeons and they said I needed to be done nursing to book a consult. So I quit nursing my last baby and booked an appointment with Dr. Chun. I called in November and my consult was in January. I only consulted with him because he only explanted and I did NOT want to get talked into getting new ones. He agreed I needed a lift and my surgery was booked for December 2019. A couple months later I got a call to have it moved to August 20th. I then put myself on the last minute list since I’m kind of local. I finally got that last call for Wednesday, June 5th!!! The day of the surgery I was so nervous i felt i could almost pass out haha. Dr. Chun kept telling me I would be okay. The staff at the surgery center were amazing! I had a nurse who was filling in that day and she was still great. Surgery took a little longer as my muscles were detached on both sides. I woke up feeling pretty good, sore, but not too bad. I took 1 Tylenol the whole time! I’m now 2 weeks post op and I have felt amazing everyday. More energy already and the acne that was on my face for 3 straight months is gone too! I know the price is a little steep, but it was VERY important to me to go to THE best and I feel Dr Chun is. He gets the entire capsule out and his incisions are meticulous. Very happy with my decision.
