WORTH IT
I couldn’t be happier so far. They are so much better than I could ever imagined. I imagined empty bags lol. They are full and perky and I feel so much better in myself. It was relatively pain free i just took panadol and nurophen for the first few days. I haven’t had to take any antihistamines since the explant and not one hive since.

What size bra were you before explant? Did you have a fat transfer?
Before I had implants I was an AA. After implants I was a C then I had two children and ended up an E/F.
I didn’t have a fat transfer just explant and lift.
You turned out amazing! How in the world did you go from an AA to what looks like a DD now? Good ageing genes :)

I Feel Amazing!

After having implants for 12 years I have suffered with many side effects that I now realize were breast implant illness. Infections, hives, insomnia, hair loss, weight gain the list is endless. I had my explant 3 days ago and already I feel so much better. Dr Sue Thistlethwaite was amazing. She Made me feel so comfortable and at ease and I knew right away she was my surgeon. I had my bandages off yesterday and I am so pleased! They are perky and full and so much better. I highly recommend Sue Thistlethwaite.

You look great! What was your cost? Did you have a enbloc/Total capsulectomy?
Hi, thank you! I had a full capsulectomy. I wasn’t taking any chances leaving anything in. My implants were intact thankfully but everything was taken out.
Cost was around $9000
did you get a lift or just an explant?
I had and a lift and explant.
Where did you go?
