I’ve had my implants or five years now. My surgeon was amazing and honestly I loved the way they looked, however I’ve heard so many negative things about breast implants and that prompted me to get a ‘check’. They found a lump. That freaked me out to no end, fortunately the doctor told me it was nothing cancerous. My doctor did tell me that I should look into getting them removed though. I met with my plastic surgeon and he talked me through the process of having them removed and honestly the more I talk about it, read about it the more I want it done. I feel like I now have the confidence to rock my small boobs. At the moment I’m just saving for my surgery. Hoping to have my surgery February - March next year! Will keep you posted.

Glad you are explanting! I only wish I had explanted sooner I developed breast implant illness and almost died.. the implants silently ruptured and migrated to my organs caused my kidneys to fail and I am now only 38 years old with a small child on dialysis waiting for a kidney transplant all because of those toxic bags!!! please spread the word and best of luck with your explant you will love the feeling of being real and free! x

My explant went off without a hitch. I got to hospital on time. I had a beautiful room to myself. I was in theatre on time. I couldn’t fault the staff at St John of God and I couldn’t fault my surgeon Dr Tim Brown. I had my operation at around 9am and was back to my room by 10am. I can’t tell you how amazing I felt waking up and not having a weight on my chest. I felt free and alive. I can’t believe just how much better my body feels just after a few hours of having them out. I am only now feeling a bit sore but nothing compared to the pain I felt when I first had my implants put in five years ago. I have suffered memory fog, hair loss, weight gain, IBS, low immune system, fatigue, anxiety, depression, mood swings, dry skin, night sweats and I could go on. I had ignored these symptoms for so long thinking it was just age but now that I have done the research about BII I am certain that my breast implants were the cause of most of my ailments. I can only stress to those thinking of getting breast implants, do your research and see if it’s really worth it. If I could go back five years I would have never got them done. Health is really the only thing that should be important and I’m glad I finally have them out.

Hey girl! Can you do a photo update with how you're doing over 1 year out? Hopefully you're still doing well!
