- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

8 months post explant and lift
Just a quick update... Both have recovered well, although for the first 6 months or so I had no real nipple sensations, that has come back - and sometimes it's similar to the feeling of lactating but I am getting used to it now :-) Sadly, my health hasn't really changed much which was one of the reasons I wanted to remove my implants, but as it was only 1 reason, I am still so glad I did it - one less thing to worry about, and my wardrobe is now so much more varied as I no longer feel I have 2 melons sitting on my chest ha ha ha... The lines underneath are yet to fade, and I know I have stretched to lower scars from it which has made them worse. In hindsight, I should have left the tape on for much longer... ho hum! Anyway, I am still glad it has been done. Implants were not for me!
6 weeks and counting... :-)
A quick update on the state of my chest! The swelling has gone down significantly now, and looks like I will be an A cup as suspected, which I am completely fine with. The bruising has all gone, and apart from muscle/skin pain when stretching, and tenderness when they are poked in places, there is no pain anymore. The scar areas (particularly around the drain site) is still quite lumpy and hard, but have been told to start massaging these to break the scar tissue down. Have also been told to continue to use the micropore tape until 12 weeks for best results in scaring. I am pleased the scars are thin (still red) as I tend to get keloids quite easily! Hope all of you are going well on your journey :-) x
Day 13 - Almost 2 weeks post explant and lift
OK, just a quick update and it seems all is going to plan - there is still some swelling and redness around where the drains were, but nothing too dramatic. Also the tape I am using seems to be doing its job (Micropore) - think I need a bra with more support as I find that the longer I am upright the more sore they are (makes sense really!) Most of the bruising is gone now which is great as they are starting to look more normal, even though I know they are still swollen... I must admit I thought it would be bruised and mangled looking for a lot longer so very happy with how they are both progressing!
Provider Review
Dr Samuel Yang
Couldn't have had a better experience, the staff at his clinic, and the doctor, were very caring and had a great bedside manner, answering all my questions patiently. Don't know the results yet as early days, but so far its been very positive. Would also highly recommend Pacific Day Surgery (under his clinic) - the staff were wonderful.
