1 Year (almost) and Revision Update
1 month ago I had the minor revision procedure. It took 20 minutes and I felt nothing after the local anaesthetic injections. Very minor discomfort afterwards for a couple of days but no need for pain meds. My cleavage and right side definitely looks tidier.
I took a gamble with explanting and lifting at the same time. However, my surgeon was great and I think he did an excellent job with a difficult procedure. I avoided having two separate major surgeries and instead had one major and one minor to get my result.
It has almost a year since my initial explant and lift. I am still very happy with the results and so pleased I did this for myself. I have never once missed my implants. Life is comfortable now and I feel like myself. I love how my body feels and being able to move without tight underwire bras, and tops pulling across my breasts. My husband loves my breasts too... he soon got over the loss of big fake boobs. He thinks I look slimmer and younger with my smaller breasts. No one has noticed (who I didn't tell). A couple of people have asked me if I've lost weight - hmmm kind of :D
The end result = generally excellent (much better than I anticipated). My left breast is bigger than my right - does not bother me. And my left nipple has tighter scar tissue and less breast tissue behind it = when they are relaxed it looks smaller. When they are erect it is the same size. This may improve as the scar softens... or it might not. Again, it doesn't bother me. My left cleavage still has a small fold but much smaller after the revision and it might go as the revision scar heals. The cause turned out to be an unfortunately placed stretch mark. The initial scars have faded nicely... although now I have some more.
So, I think that is the end of my explant story. I hope my experience has helped others on their journey. Thanks for all your lovely comments and support. Happy explanting everyone! x

8 Month Update
I had the follow up appointment with my surgeon this week. He will do a small revision - 20 mins under local - to tidy up the cleavage area and take away the small dog ears on the outer sides of my breasts. No additional cost. This is fairly common with explant and lift combined. It can be difficult to estimate where everything will end up.
I am very happy with my result. It has been life changing and part of a bigger journey to embrace my real self. I have stopped dying my hair and am loving my black/silver natural colour. I recently went camping for the first time in my adult life. Something I would have avoided previously due to uncomfy bras/breasts. The hot weather (Aussie summer) is so much nicer without a bra too. My husband still loves them as they are and benefits from my own inner confidence.
My nipples are still uncoordinated. The surgeon thought it was 'weird' - great :D My right nipple just scrunches up way quicker than the slow left one. Oh well!
I hope you are all travelling well on your explant journey.
I will update when I have my 'tidy up' done at the end of January.
