Explanting After 10 Months of Having Implants

Hi camnoelleeva I did not use any of the doctors from this site. I used my original surgeon who put the implants in as he was very supportive & completely understood how I felt x

hi there. I had implants two months ago. just got them out of my body.
I asked my PS to remove all capsule, they made foto for me, not so sure they have removed all capsule or partial.
explant is definitely right to do.
hope everything goes well for all.of us.

Thank you so much.

May i please ask where is your incision? mine is around the nipple and i'm a bit concern if it will be possible to remove capsule through my old incision. Thank you.

mine is underneath breast.
I haven't seen my breast since explant.
consult PS, just make sure capsule should be removed total or partial.
go ahead for it.
implants are not save, explant is to.save your life and have health and body back. will be with you
best wishes to you

Hi maryjayjay happy to hear my story inspired you Thankyou x I did part capsule removal of only bottom half of it as I didn’t have mine in long surgeon said they were not tick calcified capsules so no need to do thorough removal. Full removal can be more dangerous sometimes depending on where the capsule has stuck to inside the body like near arteries/ribs etc. Mine were textured mentor too !!! [RS bleep] any info you need girl just message here to help xx

MaryJayJay for full capsule remove I believe the incision needs to be under the breast fold although I could be wrong. To avoid further loss of nipple sensation & nipple damage aswell I would recommmend incision going under the breast fold x but this is totally personal preference :) [RS bleep]

totally agree with you.

that would be lovely.
hope we are all.doing well.
I think.I will.post my experience afterwards.
will take some photo week by week.
I do feel I should share my story to help other people to get rid of implants and save our lives.
it is not.true that implants are.save, they cause cancer though it's rare case.
doctors shouldn't deny the truth.

Aww Thankyou greedygoat xx I am sooooo pleased & relieved. They are very similar to before implants with some minor difference. Surgeon said they take 6 months to fully heal from explant - tissues to fluff, skin to fully retract, muscle to repair etc. soo they will change & improve some more, but yes considering 1 week out they have done really well I’m just so relieved x How are you? Where are you at now with your journey ? Hope you are ok x

Hi punkrat1...I’m so happy you have found me then it’s nice to find someone who’s situation is similar to yours so I hope I can help you x I’m sorry to hear you have experienced the same mental health reasons as I did it’s awful I know !!! My implants were 325CC under muscle. I have shared my before BA & post BA photos I will also share photos of how they looking now after this weekend as that’s when I get the plasters off etc & I’ll be able to take clear photos so keep checking my review for update on that x I was super scared to explant the most scared iv ever been about anything in my life, purely because of worrying about them looking normal after - but honestly they look great !!! No deformity, no wrinkling, no dents !!! they are just like before BA. & they are fresh out of surgery so over the next few weeks they will improve even more. I was so relieved to see that they looked absolutely fine & I am so relieved to have my own body back & touch my own chest again - it feels amazing!! I cried with relief after explant. Zero regrets so far I’m so grateful & happy I stuck to my gut instincts I love my boobs because they are all mine now x Everyone said I needed to wait & that I would grow to love them but they were wrong ... yes I loved the look of them they looked perfect visually but they didn’t feel right they were not ok for my body I just could feel it. 11 months down the line I knew i hadn’t changed my mind I wanted my life back i wanted to be me again. I worried I might feel depressed after explant too seeing my damaged breasts but they are not damaged lol & hand on heart it’s been 3 days iv not felt an ounce of depression, iv not cried at all & I’m just so happy Iv done it !!! The longer they are in the more difficult explant becomes as capsules thicken & calcify meaning more intrusive surgery & skin stretches more & therefore more breast tissue is lost & results can be worse. Having them in only 11 months gives our situation a great benefit! I hope this helps you any thing else you want to know I’m here for you x

Hi, I went through the same thing 18 years ago when I had my first implants then again 8 years ago I had them reduced. Just removed them 3 weeks ago and I love them. Haven't been this happy in years. So don't hesitate get them out now I only wish I would have removed mine 18 years ago but better late then never. Good luck:)

Hey greeedygoat! Aww Thankyou x I had plasters removed today & can bathe tonight so I’ll upload photos likely tomorrow :) I was prepared for the worst but pleasantly surprised surgeon said give it 6 months the tissue will fluff more so hoping they just get better & better. Pain wise it is completely opposite to implant, implants for me pain was horrific!!! explant literally minimal pain, iv taken no pain medication at all & I was out the next day with my mum browsing the shops & back at work & driving 4 days after explant. Iv felt great x So yeah dont worry about the pain unless you have capsular contracture or other problems then healing / pain maybe different I guess but for me this is ho it has been.

oh AMAZING, so pleased for you!! The driving part is my biggest worry, I don't want too long off work! Oh and the gym! With implants I still struggled to put my coat on until around 6 weeks, it was awful. I do have capsular contracture though.

Hi greedygoat!! Thankyou x yep same when I had implants I was in severe pain, I literally couldn’t walk for 2 weeks my brother had to take my little boy to school for 2 weeks, couldn’t get dressed anything it was so bad it took me about 6 weeks to be pain free so snap sister!! Yes see I don’t know if it may be different with having capsular contracture pain / healing wise...what does your surgeon say? Hopefully it won’t be - I’m sure you will be ok :) xx

Hi JHernandez28 I’m doing great Thankyou :) x I was the same when I had mine in only 2 months I wanted them out immediately but was told to wait & give it some time, not to rush into a big decision so quickly...so I did but it only got worse for me. PS did not remove capsule due to them not being in for long enough to form a thick calcified layer, capsule was so thin & it will disintegrate due to being minimal ... if implants had been in longer with thick capsules that would then contain lots of chemical build up he said yes you would need full capsulectomy for sure. So don’t worry lucky you won’t need one...capsulectomy is a longer trickier procedure & can damage your own breast tissue from the scraping .... you don’t need lots of scraping they haven’t been in long enough :) x I hope this helps this is just what my surgeon told me & also what I have learnt from independent research on the topic, I’m no professional or saying that’s 100% correct lol but just what I have been told by my surgeon (a professional lol) & research Iv done x I hope this helps your confusion a little x & your welcome & questions or support I’m here I’ll always reply & help best I can if I can help your journey I will [RS bleep]

so. you don't remove your capsula? my surgeon told me he would only take away capsula under glands but leave the part above muscle
