So happy
WORTH IT$1,221
Been two years.
Had no more complications after the hematoma.
Deleted the photos as I´m not comfortable with having them up online anymore. Won´t post new either, but I can tell you they ended up pretty much just like before. The skin contracted. They are natural, as even as nature made them in the first place, and perfect just the way they are.
I was so scared to do it (the explant), as I was afraid I would end up spending more money and still be unhappy. But I´ve been nothing but happy with my decision. Have not regretted it once in the past two years.
Good luck to everyone who are going to do it themselves!

Had a hematoma + day after pics
They did a partial capsulectomy, in the lower halves. Got drains. Surgery went well!
Yesterday (day after surgery) I had to go back in due to a hematoma in my right breast, which was a downer. But I got to see them, which was a upper! They were supposed to be covered with gauze for a few days. Almost cried when I saw them. If they end up looking anything like the smaller one (the one without a hematoma), I’ll be beyond satisfied! I’m so happy.
I had eaten yesterday, so they couldn’t put me to sleep during the surgery, which sucked. But it’s over now.
Also had an awful night as I was so nauseous and threw up multiple times. Tried to take meds against nausea, but threw them up... oh well, that’s over too. Probably a reaction to some of the meds yesterday.
Can only go uphill from here I guess! I hope. My only fear is that the drain will clog and I have to open up and clean out the wound AGAIN. Still looks normal today.

ORIGINAL POST
Implant 2014, explant 2018
I respect other people’s decisions to have plastic surgery, but it just wasn’t a good decision for me.
I’m going to explant tomorrow. Had anatomical implants feb 2014, just because I could. I had the money, had larger boobs when I was younger, and “everybody” did it. Including my sister, and big boobs was my thing, I thought. As far as I can remember, I really liked my body, but I thought this would make it better.
I actually went to the surgeon with plans to explant in dec 2015, but I was convinced to do revision surgery to make the implants sit higher. Back then the before pictures scared me, but not anymore. My fake boobs often look good naked when standing still, but turns ugly when I’m moving. Which I am on the beach in a bikini, and when I’m intimate with my boyfriend...
I’m looking forward to it, but I’m really scared they’re going to look deformed. I’m scared of getting inverted nipples, and also double-boobs. They placed the inframammary fold lower than my real fold, which is high set on the chest. I’m concerned what my fold will end up looking like. How well will my skin retract? Also a little nervous about the drains I’m gonna have, not sure why.
Reasons for explant:
- left implant rotates. Makes the boob look deformed, and hurts. It pulls the skin. Can’t be intimate without a bra...
- Animation deformity on right boob.
- Original inframammary fold visible on the outside of both boobs from the side.
- Pain from both boobs. It stings. I think it’s pretty much everyday, but I’ve gotten used to it.
- I can’t own up to it. I can’t defend my decision to have plastic surgery. I haven’t told my family. And I can’t stand when it’s visible that I have implants in a bikini.
- I just don’t like the plastic-look on myself.
PS! Got half off the price due to them doing a bad job I guess.

I am sure it Will turn out really fine :) you have a descent amount of tissue and your skin does not look damaged :) simple explant or capsulectomy? I had removal in local 6 weeks ago. It is not so pretty but I am completely flat and my skin is so damaged from breastfeeding :)
I feel exactly the same and I want my implants removed. How are you doing with it? Do you have after pictures?
Posted day after pics now!
@chewi Thanks! I had a partial capsulectomy, the lower halves.
@estatus I will post after pictures as soon as I am able to see them myself! Probably not until Friday, or even later. On my way back in now, they think I have a hematoma in my right breast... oh well.
Thanks for sharing your story.
