I've been wanting get breast explant surgery for years now. I was lucky to get everything with work lined up. He was great to talk to and explain everything on the cc. I appreciate him talking over the phone due to being out of state. I sent him pictures and he advised explant which I requested an enbloc and he said he could do the procedure me recommended a lift. So far everything sounds great and amazing flow with everything falling into place.

I do feel nervous about the stitches as I heard dissolvable stitches can make the scares thicker.

My surgery is March 17 2023. I fly to San Diego March 15.

Wishing you a speedy recovery! :) What size cc were you before you had your explant? And what size are you now ballpark? Why did you explant? Thank you for sharing your journey/results.
