I'm back to my normality! Woohoo.....
WORTH IT
My journey is over. I'm back to my natural self. Although I didn't have any physical problems with my implants apart from cc, I do feel healthier. My husband commented that my eyes were brighter, skin smoother and hair glossy. Wow, where did that come from?
Hugs are just the best. No hard foreign lumps between me and my hubbie, kids or the dog!
I've accepted my little ones and every day I just embrace them. Very proud to be an explanter and so pleased I logged my story on this forum. Good luck to anyone considering explanting, happy healing to those of you who have recently had surgery. This is my final post, but I will of course continue to follow everyone's amazing journey. Bye, bye x

The fluff fairy's visited at last! 11 weeks post surgery.
Just thought I'd post a couple of photos taken today. Definitely feel fluffier. The boob with cc has changed a lot and filled out. Still an a cup but feel squishy! Summer holidays over, kids back to school tomorrow, husband back to work overseas and I'm starting back the gym after 2 months. ???????? very nearly back to my normality..... Good luck to all you ladies out there considering explant. I have no regrets.

Aw you're so kind! [RS bleep] Well you will encourage so many ladies from your story too! :) You really do look fantastic and I reckon way better natural!... All the healings broken my exercise routine ...but there you are straight back into things, great inspiration for us! :) The real, sporty you is gorgeous and confidence boosting for the rest of us with athletic builds! :) Im five months now so mostly healed, been a longer road since badly ruptured, had aching ribs etc..but things seem to be settling down and hubby n I think they've grown lately, so maybe the naturaful cream is kicking in, lol... Hard to know what was the normal fluffing or gap filling my body would have done n what this cream, but happy either way! An a is a ok for me!... We can always pad out, but can never wear petite,tailored things with giant silicone balls strapped to our chests, I don't miss them one bit! ;) [RS bleep]

You are just 'spot on' . Hugged my husband real hard when I dropped him at the airport and it was just lovely not to have these hard, foreign lumps in between us! Best hug ever! I have done two high intensity classes today and I felt so much lighter and healthier, although I didn't think I had any health issues with mine, but you never know. The other ladies commented that my waist looked slimmer! Surprised, as I've definitely over indulged this last couple of months. So glad things are settling down for you know and good luck on kicking in with you fitness routine again. I do not miss mine whatsoever either. Sooooo happy I decided to explant and not replace. Take care, hun x

Hugging has to be one of the best benefits of being implant free. Loved reading your story and following your journey. Both you and "40" have been so inspirational and supportive to everyone on here. Really enjoyed all your progression pictures. Amazing how the body heals and bounces back! You look beautiful and healthy. Thanks for sharing....happy healing [RS bleep]

Sorry for not replying earlier , missed your post but wanted to say thank you for your kind words. This site is totally my therapy to get through this very physical and emotional journey. I'm so happy to hear that maybe I've helped other ladies in their massive decision to explant or maybe not to!! I'm going to post my last few photos next week as I'm at the end of my journey, yeah, I'm back to normality! A few months on and I feel great. Natural, happy, little boobies are great and my silicones are definitely history. So glad I didn't re-implant! Hope you are ok? Best wishes xxxx

Thank you SO much for sharing your story and your pictures. I was waiting a while to see pictures of a woman with the same make-up and body type as myself. I'm scheduled for Oct 11th, explant with no lift, but I"m second guessing the "no-lift" part until I saw your pictures. My breasts will look very similar to yours and that makes me happy bc you look great. Your breasts in a bikini top look totally normal and quite full so I was surprised. I have very little breast tissue due to breast feeding 3 kids so I was scared of what they would look after explant. Thank you again for posting your pictures, I feel much better now!!!!

Awww, thank you. So happy to share my experience as this is this is totally my therapy to get through this! It's just an amazing site to log your journey and get great support and guidance. The explant decision is a tough one, but believe me I've not looked back. Enjoyed my bigger boobies but honestly I do not miss them. I feel soooo much better, physically I feel fitter but didn't have any medical issues . Oct 11th, wow, well done in making this brave decision to explant. It's not easy but I can assure you that you will be happy with your results. An emotional roller coaster for sure! Be prepared. Keep posting, the lovely ladies here who are considering explant or are on the other side are here to give you help, advise and support. Best wishes X

6 weeks post explant! Time just goes so quickly....
Well, it's feels like I never had implants. Seem to be adjusting just fine. Taking it day by day. Not missing them. I have been wearing bikinis for the last 2 weeks and have felt fine albeit I wore one today which was a little too big for me and I felt insecure so just changed it after a couple of hours. I still notice changes daily. My scars have healed fine but my breast tissue is mostly still not existent. Definitely going to purchase some nice bra-let's from Victoria Secrets on my return from holiday. I have been very active over the last few days, in the pool playing water volleyball and aqua aerobics was fab. Will be starting back the gym in a couple of weeks and hopefully sort out this underarm excess skin and lose the weight I've gained from eating out every night! Hope you brave explanters out there are good, we should be very proud of ourselves for making the decision and going through with it. Hugs to everyone X

Thanks but I feel like I definitely have a 'food baby' at the moment as we've been eating out every night for nearly a month and I've not worked out properly for 2 months. Just reinstated my gym membership today and booked in to loads of classes, combat, Pilates, body pump. Can not wait to work out without my bricks, lol! Following your journey.... It's tough but the end result is amazing. I do not miss them albeit I loved my big boobs and do not regret getting them, but we change! Our mind set is different and we eventually realise that our boobs do not define who we are. X

40 and about to be free, can I just say a big 'thank you' for your on going support. You have been amazing in my breast explant journey with your wise words and continued expert advise. I could not have done this without this site especially being on my own with no immediate support. You are fab and I know you have helped loads of other ladies too with your experience. Bless you X

You are beautiful. Honestly, your breasts look better now than with the implants. Natural is the way to go!!!

Thank you so much. I have no regrets whatsoever. Small, natural boobies look so much better. It was a tough decision to explant but I am relieved and very happy I went through with it.
