You look great!
You look wonderful! Do they still feel like they are firming up? I'm 3 weeks out tomorrow and I feel like mine continue to feel firmer and more like they used to. The jello-ish feeling for the first week after removal was the strangest part to me. Congrats on your great results!
Thank u both! They do still like they are firming up. I try not to focus too much on them but I am loving my natural boobs!! No regrets here :) I'm going to wait about 6 months total I think & then see where I'm at as far as a lift.
That's a good plan. That was originally my plan with my ps too but I've already decided I'm just going to love them the way they are. I do want to lose about 10 lbs but I'm going to wait at least a few months before I even try. I'm right there with you loving my natural boobs. No regrets whatsoever! I sleep so much better and feel better overall. Im really happy for you and am looking forward to it future updates!
Hi! How are you? Could you please update?! Hope you're doing great and I'm very curious about the changes since your last post ... Thanks
They are looking great at 4 weeks. I’m almost one week post op. Wondering how they are now? Did you need to do a lift? I’m thinking I might. But hoping not!

2 Weeks 4 Days, Post Removal

Just wanted to share a few new photos. I am noticing small changes!! :)

I am very happy with my right boob. It's shrinking up slowly! The left side is too, but it def hangs lower & looks diff. It has more breast tissue but it's almost like its spread out from the top to. The bottom of my boob....I am hoping they continue to change over the next few months!!
I am so happy!!

You look great! I'm so happy for you!
You look really good! My right boob is smaller and the top is a little more concaved than my left, but I am o.k. with it. My right one was always the small one and they had different shapes until I had my BA. I do have to wear lightly padded bras though because of this and because I am very flat! I went to VS the other day and nothing fit so right now I am just going to be happy with my stretchy, yet comfortable bras! Very smart to wait on the lift because it really does improve with time! You are only a little over 2 weeks and you look great!
Thank you ladies!!! :)
You look great! They're healing so well. Gives me hope!
What is your current post op bra size?

1 Week 2 Days Post Removal

I had my post op visit on Tuesday & not a whole lot to report back except that things look good. My incisions are heeling great & my PS wants to see me again in 2 months. I'm not sure that there are any big changes to my breasts so I will post either weekly or biweekly photos for you that are considering removal, just so you can see the changes (if any happen).

My hubs took me to Victoria's Secret last night to try on bras & I'm a 30 or 32 D!!! Say whaaaat?!?
I have a very skewed view of D boobs since I have had my implants it! LOL I assumed I was an A, B at most. But a D-I'm literally never crossed my mind!
I am just buying other comfy sports bras for now to get me through until I have my lift. I don't want to waste the money & then come out a different size after my lift & have to buy more bras.
Besides, my left boob is a whole cup size bigger & it's very noticeable in a normal bra & made me not feel so good...
Other than that I'm feeling great!!
No regrets!!
I think a lift is def in order & im going to probably schedule it when I go back in 2 months!

You look so great!
Thank You!!! :) I feel awesome!! I wish I would've done this so much sooner!
You look great! And I agree--I also have a skewed concept of bra sizes now. Funny how that happens! I'm so looking forward to losing the bump that starts way above the nipple.
hi, I think you were really wise to just explant and then decided about the lift later. Cause I am sure that better results are achieved with a two stage process and at least you always know that you gave it a try. I am taking the exact same approach as you. I have explant (and capsule) scheduled for 2 weeks time. I most likely will need a lift in the longer term, but I believe I will achieve better results by doing it in stages. I was also advised by 2 plastic surgeons, that the risks of necrosis are increased by trying to do it all in one procedure (most like as I am having capsular removal too). I think you are already looking so much better, and after the lift you will be perkier and even better.
How long do you have to wait for your lift? I have almost two weeks left until my surgery, and I have no idea how things will turn out. I am hopeful since I've had them less than 4 years, but we will see. I can definitely see an improvement since last week so I'm sure that will continue over the next few weeks. Best of luck and I will keep checking in. :)
