Just had my last follow-up appt. with my PS and he is pleased with everything as am I. The suture lines are healing well and the breasts are looking amazing all things considered. I am very happy and just so over the moon to be without the implants. Unfortunately he said he was unable to remove all the capsules on both breasts as some of the scar tissue was adhering to the ribs and too risky to remove. However most of it is out. Since the op I have had a lot more energy and motivation and sleeping so much better. I feel so relieved. This is my last post today as I now put this experience behind me. I hope my contribution to this site has assisted those seeking info about explanation. A sincere thank you to all the women who have posted. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. [RS bleep]

Hi Siliconesister, congratulations on your explant! It's good to know everything went well and your healing is progressing. I am really happy to hear that you are feeling better after removing your implants, it really is awful what silicone can do to our bodies. You look amazing and I hope you continue to feel better and better. Happy Christmas to you and yours. All the best :) x

Thank you 2blips. Yes pre surgery I was a bit worried about how I may look afterwards but the surgeon reassured me I would look okay. I was so over the implants that having them removed became more important to me then what my breasts would look like. A good plastic surgeon will be able to give you some idea of how your breasts will look afterwards. Mine was certainly correct in his assessment. All the best with your decision.

I am 60 and have my saline over the muscle for 38 years. They are starting to hurt, pull, etc and I feel a pull to get them removed asap. My Surgery is scheduled for Feb 21. I was wearing a 32AA at the time of implant. I now wear a 36DD. i hav gained quite a bit of weight, so I do have some breast tissue. We will see what I end up with. I am more concerned with pain control than anything. I also am not fond of going under general anesthesia. I am more than ready to remove them. They served their purpose, but they are now causing me discomfort. time

The clinic nurse advised me to remove the tape once a week. I removed the sticky stuff in the shower, washed the area with some oatmeal soap. Dried it off with the hairdryer on cool setting and replaced the tape. The suture lines are looking good. Next clinic appt. in 4 weeks.

Hi, I feel really good. Thanks for asking. Just so relieved to have the surgery over and done with. My recovery has been very uneventful. So far no sinusitis or migraines and barely a headache. I will post another pic after the next appt. I hope some of the fatigue disappears but will have to wait and see. Hope you see some improvement in your health also. Xoxo
