One Year Update
WORTH IT
Hello everyone,
It has been a year since my breast implant removal. The year flew by! I'm still happy with my decision to remove the implants. I can still see a crease in my left breast at times, but at this point I'm not bothered enough by it to pursue treatment for it. I feel more comfortable without the breast implants and have been having fun shopping for cute little bralettes. I wish you all well on your own journeys. Take care!

23 week post surgery update
Hi everyone,
I hope that you are all doing very well! I feel that my breasts have "fluffed up" quite a bit. I did gain about 6 lbs over the holidays, which may have contributed. I feel very pleased and happy with how things are progressing. I'll update again in the future. <3

The change in your breasts since you first had them out is seriously amazing. It gives me so much hope. I really want mine out. They're just not for me. My surgeon has scared me though, telling me it'll be cosmetically devastating and I'd regret it. If it wasn't for this forum I wouldn't even think it was an option. I've been so encouraged by everyone's results and I want to go ahead with it. It's just a matter of when and who do I trust to do it.

Hey thanks so much for documenting all the progress. I am too in my 30s, breastfed two kids and just had my implants out (although mine were in 12 years). It does feel a little scary seeing the majorly deflated one even though I know it has to have time to retract. Your review really helped me!

Hi thanks for the update they look great, I've just had my explant. 1 hour post op! They looked shrivelled and flat, I was a b cup before my BA but am worried I've ruined my breasts
Thank you
Thank you

Congratulations on a fantastic recovery! You look amazing!
Did you have a capsulectomy or only removal? Do your breast feel normal to touch and on the inside? Is there anything that concerns you or irritates you?

I meant to say … do your breast feel normal to touch on the outside and do they fell normal on the inside?

Thank you!! My breasts feel normal inside and out to touch and I did not have a capsulectomy.

where did you go and how much did you pay

Hello. I went to Dr. Lavinia Chong and prices vary; you would need to get an individual quote based off of consultation.

6 weeks since procedure
Hello and happy fall since we are officially in the best season of the year! I am 6 weeks out from surgery today and I feel awesome. The crease is no longer really noticeable, I can see the slightest hint of a crease if I lean a certain way, but I am very happy and pleased with the outcome.
I wanted to note some additional, relevant information; I am 32 years old and I have had two beautiful children, both of whom I breastfed for around 6 months each. I stopped wearing the chest wrap a couple of weeks ago and have since been wearing a compression bra solely. I will update at the 24 week post surgery mark.
Take care and happy healing!

Awesome results!!! So happy for you!!!! Happy Fall :) the best time of the year for sure!
I had my explant 2 days ago and I’m still wrapped tight, a little sore still. It’s definitely an adjustment seeing my flat self again, but it’s good and I don’t regret a thing. Feeling like me again… it’s a great feeling. No more added weight. This binder is so tight though and I’m anxious to take it off lol! Soon :)
Thank you again for sharing your journey!

Yay congratulations! Oh yes, the wrap/binder can be uncomfortable for sure. I bought 4"x4" gauze and tucked them midway on the breast and underneath the elastic band part of the compression bra underneath the wrap to make it easier on all of my tissues. It helped a lot and if you have any issues like that you should try it!

Beautiful!! You look amazing.

I totally understand why you blurred your tattoos, but I wish I could see them. You look fantastic! Thanks for sharing your story and results. It gives me hope that my own story might have a happy ending, too.

Congratulations! You look great! How’s recovery been? I’m getting mine out through local in a few weeks and I’m nervous being awake ! Did you have any issues with seroma?
January 27, 2022
Thank you! Recovery was a complete breeze. No issues whatsoever with seroma or otherwise. Good luck to you!

Sorry I don’t remember if I had asked you if you had breast implant illness symptoms I’ve been running implants but I’m scared to get sick and I know it’s expensive to remove
