Beautiful breasts getting ruined everyday!
$4,001
My newsfeed has gone a little haywire over the past 2 days. I have been seeing posts from lots of breast augmenters but initially (just when displayed) they have the names of some of the woman I am following from the explant forum. So today I ended up on a page of a 27 year old, with the most beautiful breasts who has just spoiled them with horrible totally oversized implants, that have rippled and and very nearly gave her a uni-boob in the early stages.
I never got to have a nice natural chest - until my recent explant. So I feel so sad that these women born with these perfect chests and breasts don't realise how lucky they are in their natural form. I know everyone has to go on their journey, but I just hope that soon there will be less women doing this to themselves. Culturally, small perky breasts are in fashion! How bizarre that body shapes have fashions...but anyway...
I just felt so said reading the review of that girl.

What ever happened to RobinRedBreast from Brisbane?
Does anyone know how to look up and search members. I was looking for surgeons around the same time as RobinRedBreast, and so I was following her experience/story. I am sure her operation was scheduled for March, and I am just curious to see how things went for her. But i can't work out how to search for a member - does anyone know how?

Ha ha *wave* - I'm following you so saw this!
I'm booked in for 24th March - next Thursday. Life has been very busy with travel and work so managing to distract myself.
Congratulations on your explant - you look great! Can't wait to join you on the other side. How is your health now? x

hi, I was wondering when you were going in. My health is so much better. I am also starting to loose weight! Its brilliant. I am really happy with my results. Gosh not long until yours - less than 10 days! I hope it all goes well. Glad you got in contact. Cheers.

I'll be posting my after pictures - regardless of what I end up with. As usual I'm expecting the worst - then I can only be pleasantly surprised ;)

I did that too. Even though I knew I had a lot of natural tissue, I had prepared myself for there being nothing or some really bad adhesion. When the surgeon came in the next day and took the tape off, and I saw them for the first time, I just barely held it together until he left, then burst into tears. It was just such a relief to be through the operation and to see something still familiar. I like my breast for the first time in my life. Are you staying overnight in hospital or day surgery. I am glad I had to stay in hospital - even though I was bored and missing family - it is amazing how tempting it is to do more than I should back at home, so at least I had a good few days of being forced to take it easy.

I'm only in day surgery. Heading home afterwards. I will rest - I've bought a stack of books and blocked out my diary. I hate hospitals (despite working in them for years, or probably because)... I think I will relax and heal better in my own space. My focus of paranoia is on seroma or haematoma... so I'll need to work on avoiding anxiety about that.

I was glad to have the drains - but I think I drained a lot due to having a full capusulectomy (left) and 80% (right). I had the drains removed when I was still draining 60 ml and 40 ml, which is considered fairly high for removal. My PS said that if there was a bit of fluid left and it wasn't absorbed, that my body would form a scar capsule around it and it would remain. This was the first I had heard of this. I wasn't keen on this idea, but I tried to put it out of my mind.
One thing I should have done before the op was tidy my house from top to bottom (but i was rushing, and worked up to the day before).

My PS has told me he will only put drains in if needed rather than routinely - ie. if he has to remove large parts of the capsule. But if it is thin he will leave it. I'm lucky as my implants are intact and I had no 'problems' with them. Having said that... I won't know for sure until he has gone in and taken a look.

I just took a photo. Its so exciting for me to have ended up with better breasts than I had before. To know these are mine and that actually they were naturally more symmetrical all along. For some stupid reason the original PS had inserted a bigger implant into the left side. Now that they are out, I have better symmetry, also without the additional weight, they have lifted a little bit, so I won't need a lift. Just so grateful.. They still look weird from the side (as I don't have pec muscles), but all up I am very happy and relieved.

Hello, I am new to the forum but about to have mine out next week by the same doctor - I am flying in from Asia so hoping all goes well!! Thanks for writing about your experience - its been so helpful particularly as i am seeing the same person. I have CFS and a host of other immune type issues and so hoping this helps get rid of them. I am over having implants and can't wait till they are gone. Sick also of having back ache (think they are almost a kilo between the two of them..I am having a lift as I worry they will look very saggy without! Anyway, if you have any tips about the surgery please let me know - I am doing it day surgery (yikes) and staying in a hotel nearby with my mum the night before and night after... Thanks again and hope you are feeling so much better
