Removal After 3 Months - Best Decision Ever.

6 weeks? I think? Boobs/Men/Fitness

The boobs are 100% back to what they were, thankgoodness. And I have to say, I really think it's because I've been braless. I literally haven't worn a bra in weeks and I don't see that changing any time soon. I'll wear a sports bra to work out, but that's it. Right now daily bra wearing just seems too uncomfortable.

I'm still struggling with the fact that I ever did this to begin with a bit. It's still been kinda hard some days.

Mostly, it's taught me a lot about how messed up my ideas about relationships, and my willingness to please men is/was. And I know now, that even though I was getting boobs so that I could be happier with what I saw in the mirror, it was still very much for male approval and satisfaction.

I attract a lot of male attention, I don't think it's just because of my looks, but probably alot to do with how I carry myself and my personality. My sister also says that I "exude sex" - but I kind of think that's just part of who I am? I'm just a "sensual" person, and I think men, like dogs, sniff it out and pick up on it.

Mistakenly I confused lusty feelings with love feelings a few too many times. And for whatever shortcomings my parents passed onto me during my childhood I seem to only truly attract, and being attracted to the "wrong" kind of people. Although I will say that in the beginning they don't seem wrong at all. They seem perfect, to me and to everyone else they are kind, loving, happy charming people. But then, just as I get close, I'm able to see who they really are, slowly complements get mixed with criticism... nights out turn into perpetual nights in. Suddenly they do things "unintentionally" that make me jealouse, like a neighbour girl they can't stop talking about, or some girl who keeps "texting them"... And by then it's too late. I'm already under the "love spell" that relationships can put on us, and it's hard to get out or to protect myself. Without knowing it, everything they say just gets internalized, and I'm no longer good enough.

Because of this, I've taken an honest vow of singleness for now, until possibly forever. lol. There are clearly some parts that I'm missing that make me so weak and vulnerable to men, so desprate and needy for their approval and attention, and I don't want to be that girl.

I'm a very strong, independent full person on my own.

Yeah, I can have fun with boys, but being with one in a relationship is something I don't think I'll consider for years, or possibly ever. I know it's dramatic, but I don't think I'm going to take it to 30 if I keep getting close to boys who start out making me feel good, only to leave me in the end feeling like total [RS bleep].

My best friend the other day talked about her Uncle who's 57 and been a bachelor for life. She says he's the happiest guy she knows. He's a Lawyer, he plays golf all the time, and always has a tan from all the vacations he takes. :) So yeah, something to think about, because clearly me and relationships don't seem to be a healthy mix.

Aside from the singleness stance I've taken in my personal life, I've also made some other goals.

1) Get a killer job and make bank -- this one is well underway and I should be starting up soon.
2) Buy a nice single bedroom condo with pretty bath, kitchen, and big windows! -- must be near a big gym.
3) Make fitness even more of a priority than it was before, and that also includes making sure I eat right/enough.. I've always been an active person, but zoneing out into any kind of sport I think is going to be my saving grace in the aftermath of all this bewb stuff. If the rest of my body is hot, I'll give even less of a [RS bleep] about my boobs/the stupid ass scar lol.
4) Slowly regain more normalcy with friends/family... I've been a total spaz all summer, and I'm still struggling with being a normal person at times, because I'm rather bitter and mad at the world :D. Hopefully I can learn to change that.
5) Keeping up with my new found spa-addiction, and trying taking good care of my skin.

Anddd... that's all I got.

I just read your story, I can't believe how emotional we are, I certainly did not feel very attached to my breasts only after the fact did I yearn for my lil breasts, I'm so happy to be without implants and I can truly tell you have grown from this experience, I'm also bitter and seem mad at the world sometimes but I hope one day itll just be a thing of the past. What are your thiughts on that big job, I was thinking#1 too just dont know where to start

Our stories are similar. I'm going to explant at 2 months post-op and I sometimes feel exactly the way you describe in your review. I'm afraid of the results, but I'm young, the quality of my skin is good and my implants are not very big, so I'm trying to be positive about it. How about you? How are you feeling now? I hope you're healing and feeling great.

Hi there, hopefully you are still getting these messages and I'm sure you just want to forget about it all now, just wondering, how did your scars heal in the end? I got my implants removed after just 3 weeks!!! I hated them inside me. My boobs are bouncing back nicely (I'm 11 days post op), I just want to make sure the scars are as inconspicous as possible at 1 year. Thank you xx

Hey, your so lucky you got them out after only 3 weeks!!! Your breasts WILL def go back exactly as they were before, so don't even worry about it :) And as for the scars, well I'm almost a year out and mine are pretty non-existent. So non-existent I fact that no guy has ever even noticed my "removal" marks... soo it's safe to stay you'll be in the clear. They might be pink for a while, but after a year or so they will go white, shrink up a bit and blend in with your skin. Enjoy your boobie freedom!

Hi, yes I know I just knew straight away and wasn't prepared to put my life on hold to 'get used to them'. I've read through all your posts, I just have one more questions if that's okay, you mention a few times having lower pole fullness that was never there before, I have that too, it's not too bad but definitely they look different, to be honest it makes them look more like 'real boobs' but the upper pole looks slightly less so I'm not sure if everything has been pushed south a bit!! Like I say, not too bad but did yours change with time? Do you now have the boobs you had before? Thank you so much for the info on the scars by the way, that is a huge relief!! And this is the last question I promise! xx

Hey, no problem I'm happy to answer! My boobs defiantly looked a little "different" for the first month or so, but they did eventually return 100% back to my pre-ba boobies. When I look in the mirror or compare pictures now, there is no difference. They are exactly the same. But it did take some time & patience. Your body remembers the way things should be, and you only had them for such a short time, things will find there way back to where they were before -- quicker then you might think. :)

Oh thank you so much! To be honest they're not far off just a bit fuller at the bottom and less at the top, you're so reasurring thank you!! I just want to draw a line under all of this and move on, I've prepared for a feint scar (I scar well like you) but don't really need any visual reminders - God, I will laugh about this one day!! :) :)

Thank you so much for this..... I just got my implants a week ago and hate them. They don't make me feel like me and now I'm obsessed with explant information. Sigh...

So things are pretty good. The boobs are pretty much what they were, I think mostly the just need to brighten up a wee bit, and my boob skin needs to soften.

Also, I pulled my right stich a little this past week at work, I reached for something high, and thought I was in the clear, but guess not.

It's about the size of the head of a sewing needle, and I know it's just a superficial tear and will heal and close soon -- but it was enough to set off a mini break down.

I'm just not used to feeling this fragile, I'm not used to feel like I can't move my body freely and it's really upsetting.

I think full incion healing really takes 6 months to a year, soo I'm going to be super careful about the way I move my body --- especially my arms.

Oth than that, I have to be honest in saying that going braless has had a positive effect on my boobs. With my incisions right on my bra line everything is uncomfortable and runs the wrong way. I just feel like I heal better and feel better without one. Soo I might keep up going braless for a little while and see how it goes. I've found baggy graphic t's and button downs to be invaluable in that way.

Also I tried like every brand of sillicone strip or steri steril imaginae, but they all irritate my skin. Soo the most I can do is put some gauze over my incions if I have to wear a bra for a few hours, I'm pretty upset about this.

Would love to just be able to throw on one of my old bras and go on with the important things in life, but my incisions are too weak right now.

Best BA removal mark treatment!!

While I totally accept the cute little smudges in my crease, I think it might be fun to see how well I can treat them.

There is so much out there that doesn't work, and I'm pretty partial to science.

This method seems to absolutely work, but it takes time, you have to do it every day, and make it part of your routine.

I spoke to a very nice women who works for SkinBiology and she said she used this treatment on her husband. Attached are pictures from the day of his procedure, and a year after with treatment.

1) What she suggested is that for a month and half I do this;
That I use a thin later of Super GHK Serum toped with a layer of Emu Oil twice a day.

2) From there she said I could move on to the standard method of blemish removal found on their site. Found here. http://reverseskinaging.com/scars.html

Remember, the key is to go gentle and slow, the skin can only regenerate so quickly.

** In saying that, I also want to make it clear that there is totally nothing wrong with any of our marks, treated or untreated. They're cute, they're pretty little marks! They remind us every time we begin to pick ourselves apart that we're beautiful just the way we are, and that we must be kind and loving to ourselves-- always!. [RS bleep]

Hey Tina, just stopping by to say CONGRATS! You have come such a long way, not only in your physical healing but in your maturity and attitude about life and your body. You should be very proud of the lovely young woman you are, and no matter how terrible this whole BA debacle has been at times you've used it as a vehicle to grow and learn about yourself. I wish you all the best. -Luv
