Deflated and explant tomororw with fat transfer

WORTH IT$12,000
I am done with implants; the pain on the left side with the flex distortion and the ability to see the implant through my skin was just not doing it for me. Couple that with the lateral displacement, I made the decision implants are not for me. Tomorrow I am having the deflated saline bags removed (deflated early September) and having a fat transfer to mask some of the flex distortion that is still very prominent even without the implants. Since deflated, the chronic pain on my left side and the lateral displacement has subsided but hasn't gone away completely. I am able to do a semi-push up without being out for days, so there is improvement. The deflated saline implants haven't bothered me too much but I do see the bag poke through my skin and I've had fun shoving it to the side. I can't wait until this is over. I hate surgery.

Thank you. I'm much happier with the smaller, lifted size. I'm hoping the shape will fluff.

Thanks for sharing your story. How are you feeling now? I didn't think they looked bad at all after the deflating. I hope you are happy now.

I am very happy now. I've always been very big chested and I'm not sure why I ever thought inplants for fullness would be a good idea. I am a small 34dd or a full d now. I look so much slimmer and I can wear the cutest swimwear without a big chest. He did wind up re-lifting so I am going through the scarring process again which sucks. I started a new post for the revision. Sorry for the late reply, I no longer receive emails when I get comments. Not sure why!

Deflated the Saline - explant compltely???

Saggynomore
Decisions, decisions! I decided to have my breasts deflated today. I wanted to see if I really need implants at all and if I should go for this mammoth revision. He deflated the left completely and the right side will deflate in the next 48 hours (he wanted to leave me time to compare the two so just punctured it). I have 3-weeks to decide....explant completely or full-on revision. Any comments or thoughts are appreciated!

6 Month Update

Saggynomore
I am scheduled for a revision surgery on October 6 - to fix the lateral displacement, the appearance of the implant through the thin skin and to build an internal bra to help the skin laxity.

I think the appearance of both breasts without clothes looks great but I still have constant discomfort on left side from the lateral displacement, am unable to us the left muscle at all without days of paying for it and my nipples appear in most swimwear (lateral displacement, mostly happens on left).

I'm debating if I should just remove the implants or go through with the swap out, fat transfer and seri-scaffold. I want this to be my last surgery and my original goal was to not be so floppy and stretched - yet I'm stretched and with my skin laxity, I will be floppy in no time without the seriscaffold. Also worried scar on right nipple will continue to spread. On the other hand, I've always been big chested, if he removed the 250cc on each side, I will likely be a C, not sure if I will be happy small. ARGH>>>>>
