Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Hell all,
I am now 30 days (4 weeks) out and there are constant changes every day. Some good, some a bit hard to handle. Overall I am still happy I did it. I saw some neighbors today who seemed to look at me a bit different. I really didn't care if they wondered about my breasts, but I do think they noticed that I wasn't quite as 'voluptuous'. It really is hard at times to handle, but I know that in the end this was my choice and it was the right choice to have them out.
So the hard parts have been the 'pulling in or puckering' at the nipple incision line and the caving in at the lower half of the breast. As the healing process goes on I have been massaging and manipulating the incision area to 'help' with this, as my PS said this would help. I honestly do not think that things will change much more, but who knows, I will say this has been a hard last week with seeing both of them continue to 'shrink'. I didn't think there was that much swelling initially but now I know 'there was'. I don't know if this happens with the inframammary incision line. My one thought is that I should have stuck with having them out under the breast, but I decided to 'trust' what my PS said and pray that he would not be wrong. I don't blame him, but I do think that maybe I could have preserved my areola area A bit. What I mean is that my areaola areas are not symmetrical and they pull in so that is disappointing for me. My areolas as I know some other women had mentioned in their postings were very nice and now I feel that with this surgery they were compromised greatly. Again I do not place blame on my PS, because as you might imagine, the flaps of skin that you are left with once you take the implants out are probably very 'boggy' and flimsy and it is probably like putting the border of a puzzle with no clear edge back together again.
If anyone reading this has any words of wisdom please share :-)
I will post pictures soon, just not thrilled with them at this stage yet.
It will be okay, as it has to be. It is a tough thing we go through ladies....So glad I don't have to go it alone. You are all wonderful :-)

Hello girls, It does and it will get better! I have faith! That is a great deal of what this takes. I am going to post some pictures and the progressive 'time frame' of them being taken so you can judge how it will go for you when you have your explant surgery. There are 10 days in between the first day and the 10th day of pics. I figured since there really wasn't much change from 1st - 9th days, no need. So here is the 1 day after explant (15 hours after surgery), on up to day 11 when the tape comes off. I will be in touch all :-)
Have a Blessed Easter and great weekend!

Day 14!!
OOPs there was a typo in the last update; It says in the last review,"Day 19 and still healing well" but I am only at day 14 :-) Sorry for the typo in the last "update title".
