Explant 29 yr old silicone implants

I don't see that you have shared any pictures? I don't understand your ;) wink. Or the reason for "truth. :). " It sounds like you've been through this site and "seen many results" so your curiosity to see mine is quite curious??? Especially since you haven't shared any pictures or surgery stories.

Hi, I read about some ladies here doing massage and when I asked about that at my post op appointment I was told it didn't help anything. I wonder now if massage could stop crease from forming. I was A cup before and was hoping I'd have better results since I only had C cup implants. Maybe ask about massage at next appointment. I'm not regretting getting implants removed because the burning and sensitivity around implants is gone. I don't want to do fat transfers but if a surgery to remove creases is an option maybe I'd do that. I really don't mind being small breasted because it's sexy or in style once again,it's just the creases that sadden me. The spots where implants sat that made dents are gone now. My chest is still tender. It seem like women who had larger breasts before had better explant results. Think of the good things now, when we get chest X-rays because of flu the tech won't see that you have implants. When we hug people don't have to wonder if they feel the firm boobs. So many other health reasons now that I'm older I don't have to worry that breast cancer will go undetected because implants are in the way. I don't know your body shape but I'm happy with my lean athletic shape. I'm exercising more now. I quit smoking a month before explant surgery so I'm all about looking and feeling healthy. Smoke free over a Year!! We just need to embrace that we are healthier with the implants gone. If your PS tells you how we could improve the creases without new implants or fat transfers please share. You are early in your recovery so be hopeful ok Be proud you made right decision.

Hi, That comment from the radiologist was so unprofessional!! I'd of found something less than perfect on her and said maybe you should consider a ex: nose job lol And then for the surgeons bed side manner telling you now disfigured you could be. I'm so sorry you had to have people talk to you that way. I didn't have much breast tissue either to begin with that's why I went for augmentation too, like you. I feel the description of disfigured would apply to me now too. I just had an MRI and the radiologist asked if I had any implants in my body and I got to say 'Nope!! It's the little things that will make you happy once your surgery is over. Anyway I'm glad you stood up to that radiologist. Don't let people get away with that.

Hello Prairie.....well done on your PURE U MRI !! I wont get that as I have plenty nuts n bolts in my spine LOL. Yep the radiologist was amused by my lack of mammies, which i thought quite cheeky. The surgeon however was trying to make me face reality and she asked if I want to do reconstruction, as she works with cancer patients mostly, but I said I do not have $16K to do fat transfer etc. so she changed the subject. Maybe I may wake up with Dolly Partons by some miracle, but I doubt it ! hahahaha.

My PS said I did not have much natural breast tissue which I agreed with cause I was a 32A before implants but his nurse said youd be surprised how much you really do have at my age 64. After removal I do have some breast tissue and I think some excess skin. I'm just 7 weeks post explant and I can tell you its worth it no matter what you have left. I am learning to cope with with I have left which is all we can do. No more surgeries for me.

hi! I too had the over the muscle implants. There were small indents where the implants set but thankfully those do go away. I would suggest maybe to take a look at a online company " Athleta", they have post mastectomy bras and inserts. Also a company "LuLalu".
Good luck in January, you will feel better getting them out of your body.


has bras for small breasts,
