Hey I have a question.how soon after the implants did your symptoms begin? And what were they?
January 29, 2020
Hi there I started having symptoms within the first 2 years just inflammation response in my knee and ankle then around the 7 year mark it all hit the fan.. my so called safe cohesive gel implants silently ruptured and migrated to my lymph nodes and kidneys causing kidney failure and I’m now on dialysis awaiting a kidney transplant

Oh no..I wish you the best.Thank you

OMG. This is the first time I have heard of someone having kidney failure from breast implants, and I have read A LOT of information about Breast Implant Illness. What symptoms did you have that your kidneys were failing? I am terrified because I now have swelling ALL OVER MY BODY. This is a new symptom that I can add to many others such as joint pain and stiffness, weight gain, etc. since a rupture in my silicone implants a year ago. The implants are 9 years old now. Cannot get them out fast enough after reading this. Please message me privately if you want.

Thank you. How long does your body take to recover and you have no pain from surgery ?

2 years post explant with Dr Gillian Farrell Melbourne

dialysismum80
I am around two years post explant and am very happy with my natural explanted breasts my surgeon did an amazing job. Can hardly see any scars and they have healed beautifully! I was a 34a before implants then 34dd with implants and now 17 years later a 34b natural (I also bf one child). I hope this post is encouraging for other women especially women that are sick from their implants and scared of what the aesthetic outcome will be. (I was terrified initially after one surgeon told me I must replace as I would hate the results) well of course now I know that was a total lie they look the same as they did post implant surgery.. well actually better as I am at least one cup size bigger (obvious grew with age I was only 18 when I got implants)..

i will do an removal of my implants in 2 weeks. had mine for 9 years. BF one child and have submuscular and 595 cc. So from A to E(DD) and now back down, nervous but look forward to it.

I’m day 6 explant and feel awful. Not the pain which I can bear but sooo tired, no appetite, low mood. Is this normal ?
February 6, 2020
Yes !!! I am almost 3 weeks post explant. It gets so much better.
June 8, 2020
I’m looking for the ps to explant too but all of them said it will sag and concave. I had mine under the muscle 300 cc for almost 19 years. I was 34 a before implants and now I’m 34c I’m so afraid after explant will I be flatter than my original 34a with scar, concave and sagging? Omg but I really need to explant since I’m feeling sick! Does cupping help It fluffed Up? Anything else to help with the scar? Thanks for all the help you can give. I’m so scare to go through it!

2 years post explant!

dialysismum80
Almost 2 years since I explanted and I only wish I had done it sooner! ALL of my neck, back and shoulder pain is GONE as well as inflammation and lots of other autoimmune conditions. Aesthetically I could not be happier! They look better than with the implants, feel lovely and soft and given I have aged 17 years since implanting natural they have grown 1-2 cup sizes..

Thank you for sharing your experience and results, I agree - you look so naturally beautiful and even more importantly, your health is fully restored - that’s so fantastic! Hearing from ladies who are still content and happy with their explant decision a year or two later is so helpful and encouraging. My date is set for January 16, and while I am nervous, I am also so looking forward to having all of this behind me and not having every waking thought focussed on boobs!

thank you and best of luck! and most importantly congrats on taking control of your health! I am sure you will look and feel amazing xx

Thank you for sharing this. I'm going for my first consult about explanting next week. Your story gives me something to focus my hopes on and to remind myself of when anxious.
January 30, 2019
you are so welcome I will do another update soon! hope your consult goes well!!! [RS bleep]

Thanks for this! If I lookmas good as this after I explant I’ll be a happy camper!
February 7, 2019
you're very welcome wishing you all the very best!! xx

Thanks for your story. I will be getting my surgery done hopefully next month to get these poison implants out. I am a bit nervous but happy this will finally be over with. I had my implants for nine years.

Thanks for sharing on here. Ican see women on the other links having implants and I just want to scream Stop! At them and get them to look at these feeds first . There is a big flip side to implants and to have explant is courageous but totally worth it.
