I am so excited to share this update!! Thanks to BeYOUTy, I found a myofascial release specialist in my area. I have only had 2 treatment. Yesterday she actually got her thumb under the scar tissue and gently pulled on it. It was uncomfortable and I felt tingling and occasional shooting pains. She said that is a sign that energy is starting to flow through the tissue. Whenever there is scar tissue left behind by surgery, energy in our body is disrupted. The scar tissue is tight and can cause pain in other areas of the body. I had my implants removed in January....shortly after, I got severe pain in my right elbow. I never made the connection. When she was doing the treatment, my elbow was on fire! Even tho she was working on my right breast, I could feel resistance in my shoulder, arm and shoulder blade!! Our bodies work in harmony to all parts. When we have pain in one area, it may be from another area. My neck is also a mess...thanks to the implants....she is working on my neck as well. I cannot tell you how happy I am!! I am feeling SO much better physically and mentally. As you beautiful women know...this journey is an emotional roller coaster ride! I finally love my body. Even though my breasts are not perfect, they are mine, and they are beautiful!! We need to love ourselves and know that no one is perfect! We are all unique and beautiful!! As God says in His Word: we are fearfully and wonderfully made!
As you can see by the pics, my breasts are a little fuller and my nipples are not sunken anymore!! She said my breast tissue was stuck on the pec muscle and has not come down all the way yet and I was still healing. The treatment is definitely helping with this!! So hang in there! I never thought I would still have healing to do 8 months after surgery!! I am so thankful I did not make any rash decisions...as I am not going to lie....I had contemplated it when I was at my low points.....Peace and love to you all!!xoxo

It wasn't long ago you were really struggling with your situation and now it's looking so positive, it's very encouraging to see this.

Thank you birene! Yes...I had some very low moments when I contemplated implants again...the thought made me VERY depressed. I knew that wasn't the answer. One beautiful woman gave me hope when she told me she was 15 months out and still seeing improvement! Then BeYOUty told me about myofascial release. I'm so so happy I did not make a rash decision during my down times.
September 29, 2016
It's been valuable seeing your progress. I explant next week and have doubts that I'll stay determined and patient, the latter really being the operative word in our situations! You must be so pleased you held out as you did indeed seem to feel despair at times. I think the key thing is to take away the question of implants being an option, then the mind can begin to accept and find other answers. And your breasts look very happy now!

Thank you birene! Patience is not one of my strong points....and I won't lie....I contemplated implants again...but every time I thought about it, I got very depressed. I never felt like they were me and I just wanted to feel normal again! Thanks to the strong and courageous women on here!! Honestly....every time I would falter, I would come on here and reread not only my story, but theirs as well and remind myself as to why I wanted them out. And now that I know they were the cause of my neck and elbow pain....it makes me that much happier to be free! Good luck next week and be kind to yourself. It's not the prettiest site when they first come out, but they will improve over time. It's amazing how the body can heal! Feel free to message me anytime!! xxxxx

I'm so pleased for you. You look great now. Your story will help me not to expect too much in the first few months and if I have the same problem I will know what to do. Best wishes going forward. x

This Explains a LOT

For those who have followed my journey, you know how severe my adhesions are. I have been searching for answers as to how and/if I can get this issue corrected. The plastic surgeons have no idea. I get a different answer from each one! Very frustrating. Anyway, I found this information I would like to share. It also explains why so many of us get sick after implants...even without them being ruptured. I hope if anyone is considering implants, they will read this first. Here is a excerpt, but I encourage you to read the entire article...
"Implants interrupt the normal flow of energy within our chest area. Our chest area is connected to many of the important meredians…kidney, heart, liver, stomach, etc.. For this reason energy flow will not be the same…this includes blood flow. Eventually we will have liver issues (cannot detox properly), heart problems (palpitations), uterus (fibroids, cyst), breast lumps may develop and digestive systems will not function properly. When our body is in a state of imbalance it will try so hard to put it back into balance, but when it can’t after a period of time, it goes haywire….result is an autoimmune disease. The implant has to be taken out for a better chance of recovery, but after explants proper care must be done otherwise symptoms may remain due to scar tissue forming. Energy flow is not the same with scar tissue. After implant/explants our chest area will never be the same."

Are you going to explore anything for your adhesions? Any ideas? I am 16 days post op and also have adhesions, I am obviously going to wait six months to a year to decide anything but just wondering what others who also have them have been told/are considering. Thank you for sharing!

Yes....I found a therapist in my area that does myofascial release. I am hoping that this will help. I purchased the Noogleberry and have been using that on the small breast for a few weeks now....I have not noticed any improvement from that...maybe a tiny bit of fullness in the upper pole, but no tissue release and no size increase.
September 19, 2016
Do you have any more fat for a transfer???
User Avatar
September 19, 2016
I have not done a fat transfer. From what I have read and from Beyouty's experience, the fat transfer will not fix the adhesion. Therefore, I am hoping the myofacial release will work and then I can explore fat transfer options later on.

Hmmm I've never heard of noogle berry lol but I guess it's not worth the purchase? I was thinking I would have to find a therapist for the adhesion just worried about the cost for that
User Avatar
September 19, 2016
Well...I guess it can take up to 3 months to see improvement so I'm not giving up yet!! Some ladies on here have seen a little improvement with it. It was only $80 so I figured I would give it try. I do feel that it has helped a little with upper pole fullness...hoping it will continue as my right side is much smaller than my left. I'll keep you posted!

Hey 40!! I started messaging you last night and then got sidetracked! It's going OK. The Noogleberry is not helping with the adhesion at all...but it does seem to be helping a big with upper pole fullness. I'm only using it on the right side for now as that breast is much smaller than the left. I would be thrilled to be even and I am calling a myofacial release practitioner today in the hopes she can help with the adhesion. How are you?? Are you still doing the noogleberry? Have you seen any progress?? [RS bleep]

September 19, 2016
aww well here's hoping it goes well with the myofacial then, yea I've been gently trying to stretch mine out in that corner that's adhered, but haven't been to a specialist over it... I'm doing pretty good, I've had exhaustion and inflammation to still deal with, I go so good and start to detox but have exsma come out on the side of worst rupture and a raging itchy scalp when I do, but it could also be the extra strain I've put on my body from eating not perfectly...lol... But still pretty jolly good!... So that's annoying... I should do an update actually.. And a lady's contacted me yesterday about chatting for a tv program that looks into plastic surgery... The producer went flat on contact...so nothing happening there n to be honest my steams a bit run dry to push for it now since life's got so busy again and Im facing this tiredness again... I'm hoping it's because things are coming out of storage... I've also lost a lot of fitness with having been winter and all the months off with surgery and healing... And I still throb if I lay on my tummy..bit sad as this was one thing I was really looking forward to ...so on goes the drama of the long term consequences of having had these jolly things aye... :( And we've been working on getting projects around our house finished too, so that's exciting but tiring... So no by the time I go to bed Im wasted lol, so nope I've been slack about Noogleberry, but I have still been using the Naturaful cream... But haven't seen a noticeable size increase, perhaps like you a bit of evening out, likely from the massaging it in, lol, increasing blood flow for a minute a day... ;) I did notice noogleberry worked for circulation too, it can be quite intense aye! Lol...left hickey like marks on mine one time I used it! Hehe...has that happened to you?.... Anyway, lovely to catch up with you! :) [RS bleep] keep us posted about the myofacial!, I really hope it does the trick for you too so you can help many others with adhesion issues too!! :) lots of love and hugs!... And hope I can report great things next time! ;) xxxxx

Hey 40! I'm sorry to hear you are still suffering from fatigue and eczema. Have you tried an elimination diet? Turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory. I started added 1/4 tsp. to my morning coffee and 1/4 tsp. to my daily smoothie with a dash of black pepper and coconut oil (pepper and fat is needed to make turmeric bioavailable). It has a multitude of health benefits. Also, herbs like ashwandhaga, holy basil, ginseng (adaptogenic herbs), helps our body to deal with stress and aids in relieving adrenal fatigue.
I had my first appointment with the myofascial release specialist last week. She was an amazing woman who also had implants removed! Our stories were very similar but she has overcome some very serious health issues. She said my scar tissue is pliable...which is good...and that I am still healing. She said not all of my breast tissue has dropped yet (not sure what that means, Lol), and that I will continue to improve. I did not see a difference in the adhesions after the first treatment, but I am still hopeful. She is also working on my neck (which is a mess). The noogleberry works similar to myofascial release in the fact that it pulls on the breast so she suggested I continue with it but in shorter spurts rather than 1/2 hour at one time. Like 10 minute on, few minute off...repeat....so I am going to try that. Thanks for your update and I really hope and pray things get better for you!! Sending love and hugs my friend!! xoxoxo

Aw thanks! Yes I'm taking tumeric and those other things too... So I am picking it's just a good sign that too much is coming out of my system eager to get out... Lol... We have to try visualise good things aye, haha... Oh cool! How neat is that! See one day YOU may be a specialist helping ones with his too?, who knows the twists and turns of our lives?! ;) ok cool, yeah I did another noogleberry session the other night, but I'm so tired by the time I go to bed Im lucky if I read my bible for five or ten mins! :/ my purry furry mate, kitten turned cat sends me off to lala land quite quickly, lol... Oh I really hope this is the begin info a great result for you then! Good to know too aye that your money wasn't wasted, finding out he noogleberry works too... And funny about the rest of breast tissue not dropping?!... the scar tissues obviously prevented that?... And did she say if gentle massage would help?...to either break up the scars internally or to increase blood supply to the tissues?... I suspect having bought this naturaful cream has made me massage it in and that's helped with my recovery, but I don't know because I can't compare now lol... Well anyway, nice good news from you, all Ye best and keep us updated! Xxxx

You are doing everything right! It will get better! Other things to help rid your body of those toxins is food grade diatomaceous earth. It helps remove toxins, parasites, bacteria, and viruses. Start slow...1-2 tsp. in water on an empty stomach and slowly work up to 1 heaping tbsp. I take it in the morning. Make sure you drink enough water throughout the day. The other thing (and you may already know all this!!) is milk thistle. I helps the liver detox from toxins.
I had my second appointment with myofascial release specialist...this time she actually had her thumb under the scar tissue and was pulling it! It was uncomfortable to say the least. I could feel tingling and occasional shooting pains. She said that was great as it is a sign that energy is flowing and the tissue is releasing. Today....I can't believe how much fuller my breast look!! I still have adhesion, but they look SO much nicer!! My nipples are not concave!! I will post pics later but wanted to give you a quick update!! She said the tissue is stuck up on my pec muscle, so the MR therapy helps release it and bring it down. I cannot tell you how excited I am!!! I am loving how I look!! I honestly think I would not be improving without this treatment....and no amount of massage or the noogleberry could do what she is doing. TOTALLY worth it and I am SO happy I didn't make any rash decisions during my time of despair!! Thank's to BeYouTy who told me about it!!! BTW....have you heard from her at all? I've messaged her and posted on her review without any response....kinda worried....xoxoxox

Yea I take milk thistle too in a liver support thing... Awww that's the best news about the progress girl! Yaay! Now we know it works and you're away laughing! Woohoo!

My explant was March 14, 2016. I have been using Noogleberry since mid July. I think there might(?) be a tiny bit of increase in fullness. But my breast tissue definitely moves more naturally and the upper portion (including the skin) of my left breast doesn't stay stuck down like it did. This seems to be the direct result of using the noogleberry because it had not improved on its own during the first 4 months. I am lucky that the tissue around my nipple is not involved. I am committed to noogling morning and night most days for the long term if I continue to feel like there is even slight improvement:-)

Thanks for the update Allemong! The myofascial release specialist told me that the Noogleberry should help with the scar tissue but suggested I use it in shorter periods instead of 1/2 hours constant. She said maybe 10 minutes, then release for few minutes, then 10 again...etc. I'm going to try it that way. Sometimes I think I see improvement in fullness, but there is no improvement with the adhesion...Please keep me posted!! xoxo
September 26, 2016
I will and I hope that between your release therapist sessions and using the noogleberry in the way that she suggested, that you will be seeing improvements very soon!

Noodleberry - Feeling hopeful

Hello beautiful and strong friends! It's been almost 7 months since my explant. My how time flies!! I had a massage for the first time since explanation and boy was it nice to be able to lay on my stomach without pain from the implants and just enjoy my massage!! As uneven and droopy as I am, I am still SO much more comfortable without the implants! I posted new pics...they don't really look different but they FEEL different. When the implants came out, I could feel a circular indentation in my ribcage and there was NO muscle toward the inside of my breasts. Felt like skin over bone. Now...that has filled in and fluffed up. I LOVE the way my breasts feel! I still have the muscle adhesion and sinking nipples (mostly on the right side which is much smaller than the left). For this reason, I decided to purchase the Noodleberry. Another friend on her stated using it a few weeks ago and has noticed it is helping with the adhesions. Also, I am hoping to gain some tissue and fluff up the upper pole a bit...especially on the right. I would be thrilled to just get them the same size!! I should receive the Noodleberry in 10-14 days. Once I start using it, I will post updates. Anyone else try it or are using it? I would love to hear if it helped!!

You have improved so much in these past 7 months! I have exactly the same problem with the sinking in of the lower part of both nipples. I will look forward to your updates with the noodleberry and to seeing your progress. I am 9 months post op and was thinking of doing a small fat transfer next year to see if that helps hold the nipples up again although I do not know if that is sufficient, I would rather not have a PS cut in to them. Keep us posted! xx

What is noodle berry? Have hormones in it- that would be a concern for many. Many natural products have hormones - Google search the Air Force base in Texas San Antonio had a mystery for a short time. Infant baby girls as some boys going for check ups with "breast". Of course huge concern and found out that African American Mothers/fathers were using a all "natural" skin hair cream on their infants. As many of our current skin creams , sun screens ect science FDA know they produce female hormones. Do your homework on everything that's in the product - I don't know of course anything about this stuff and I hope just natural healing and even massage did the trick to make you soooo beautiful!
Thiose with lupus or breast cancer risk any type hormone needs to be evaluated very carefully- estrogen triggers bad life threaten lupus flares for many. (Not all, but most)

goid points you've made but noogleberry is different, it's not a cream but a suction device!... So it works to fluff by a mechanical action, by suction it creates tiny pockets that the body seeks to fill.. ;) [RS bleep]
