Well I thought it was important for me to show the outcome of my explant and lift (no re-insertion), as 4,5 years have passed. So many people don’t come back online and show how things turned out in the long run. If I had known I would be left with scarring like this I’m nor sure I would have gone ahead. Apparently my skin’s reaction is not common. I have had laser and steroid injections with cost over $1000, to improve the appearance and it did help a
little, but I can’t really spend more $$$ in the hope of improvement.

Hi ladies

Just wanted to post some update photos. The scars are still really not great, but I really love my shape. I haven't really bothered with creams or silicone since month 2, but I might soon.

Good luck everyone still in the process :)

5 days before - Dr Cheng has been careful so far and he comes highly recommended in Brisbane. He insisted on an ultrasound and two appointments before he agreed to my operation. He took his time during the appointments but so far I haven't had any other contact from his office (besides an automated text) so I would have liked a bit more communication, but I will update this after the operation has been completed. 1 day before - I must mention that my costs include the day surgery and the anaesthetist's fees. Medicare covers the explant and that portion of the time devoted to the explant - the $10k is my (out of pocket) share for the cosmetic maxopexy and all the above charges.
