Explanting after almost three years of grief and regret.

Haven’t updated in awhile but no news is good news I hear! It’s been two month now since surgery and I have nothing but great news to share. My breasts look almost identical to my former pre augmentation shape! Still so happy I got them out, no regrets at all! If you’re considering an explant my advice is to do it sooner than later! It’s truly a weight off my chest ;)

Checking in, officially 48 hours post surgery and feeling good! No pain, just mild discomfort. I’m loving my small boobs! I’m just super relieved to have my small body back. Just looking at the implants sitting on my coffee table ( I asked to keep them) that fact that those were under my skin two days ago blows my mind. Picking them up and feeling how freaking heavy that are is wild. I knew they were heavy, but didn’t think they were close to weighing 3lbs together! The feeling of being relieved of the implants is amazing. It’s so nice not to have a bunch on boob under my arms anymore!! And when walking or reaching it’s SO NICE not to have my arms brushing up on the sides of them. I’m also not going to have to worry about my armpit making a tooting noise... sometimes when I would reach up for something and bring my arm back down my armpit and side boob would meet and create a suction noise that creates a tooting noise. Super embarrassing to say the least! Can any of you ladies relate to this?! Lol. Sleeping is already feeling better, I used to feel the need to sleep in my side because they just weighed so much on my chest. Now sleeping on my bag is comfortable again, definitely looking forward to sleeping on my stomach too, but I’m going to wait a bit until I attempt to do so. My post op apointment is on Monday morning. I’m super excited for this because after this appointment I’ll be able to wear regular ( but tight fitting) sports bra again! Right now I’m under order to keep the surgical bra on with a thick piece of cotton sitting between my boobs and the bra. I’m super frustrated with the bra and cotton. It’s super hard to get the bra on while having cotton stuffed in it. I have cotton sticking out of the side of the bra, i look like a broken teddy bear. Anywho I posted some photos I took after my shower today. Try to ignore the marks on my boobs from the surgical bra: smushed cotton. I love how light and soft they are. Didn’t think I’d be as smitten with them this soon! Stay tuned for a picture following day 4 after my post op!

Photo taken today of current 325cc smooth moderate profile saline. Implants were put in Fall 2016. Prior to surgery I was a 34b now I’m 36c. Hoping to explant sometime this spring. Nervous about my consultation this Friday. The PS did a great job an I called the office recently asking if he does explant and the receptionist said “ oh yes he does them all the time” so I’m hoping he will be able to answer all the recommended questions I saved on implantillness.com. Does anyone think that my boobs look smaller than a 325cc?
