7 weeks post-op-soooo worth it!!!
WORTH IT$7,600
I will be 7 weeks post-op tomorrow. I am so happy with my decision to explant, as well as my results, that I can hardly put it into words. I feel amazing. So light and free. Today I did a lotus arm balance into chin stand that I would never have attempted to try with implants in the way. So fun. I feel 10 years younger. Even a nagging should issue I have had for years has resolved.
My scars look and feel better every day and I love the natural but perky shape my breasts are taking. To put it simply- I could not be happier with my decision or the results. Dr. Kuy is a rock star and I can’t thank the realself women enough as their stories gave me the courage to do this!

5 weeks post op- multiple views
5 weeks post-op and feeling great. Rash has cleared. Went bra shopping and was formally sized- I can choose between 30C and 32C depending on the brand. Not to mention I can finally wear those darling little bralettes for the first time! Sorry my selfie skills are so bad! I am trying to learn!

LK, you look great! Thank you for continuing to post your progress. You're about 4 weeks ahead of me, so it's very encouraging to see the healing process. You're so lucky to have so much breast tissue! I'll probably be an A cup, and I'm excited to wear those bralettes too! How is it going with activity/yoga/pushing yourself physically? xo
Hi minky! Yoga feels amazing. I am doing most basic poses now but still limiting arm balances and big backbends (doing bridge rather than full wheel and holding off on jumps into crow, etc). I don't have pain at all but am just fearful of causing a problem. Probably will start sprinkling those in after 2 more weeks or so. Otherwise - I can't describe how free and great it feels to go through the poses without heavy bags hanging in the way! This sounds so self-absorbed - but I keep glancing in the mirror and can't believe the difference in how I look as well. So much more healthy, lean, and athletic. Hang in there - I was completely deflated for the first few weeks. They just keep growing!
I love your positive energy and am thrilled to hear how well you are getting back into your activities. You definitely look lean, healthy, and athletic! I too am struck by my reflection in the mirror and have to stop to get acquainted with my new body. I almost don't recognize myself. It's like, "hello, you! new in town?" I'm just amazed by the transformation and am really appreciating my slender and healthier body. xo
just went to your post - you look amazing too!!!
Thanks :-)
You look great! I am scheduled in November but am nervous because my husband loves big boobs.. I'm afraid he won't like them!!
HI Chicago girl. That is tough. Fortunately, my husband was never a fan of big boobs and was 100% behind me explanting. I had my husband look at a ton of before, healing, and after pictures from this site so he would not be surprised and would know what to expect. That was very helpful. When I had a few low days - he even was able to remind me that the other posters said the same things and it is a process. Good luck with your decision and surgery.
Thank You, I am a yoga instructor, part of my decision is for yoga. But a part of me thinks I should replace with a very small implant, but I'm afraid it not me small enough!!! The first time I had a small implant and they are too big!!! I have lots of my own natural breast tissue!!!
That was an option my ps gave me too - exchange my 200's for 100's but I just decided that I would likely end up wanting those out as well. I was super honest with my ps about what I wanted - and would be happy with small as long as they were perky. I showed pics - wantmylittlesback - has some great ones. My ps worked quite a bit with my breast tissue to build volume on the upper half to make them "perky" -my word-he said more of a challenge than a standard lift to give the results I wanted. But there is no right or wrong answer and I am sure you will make the right choice1
Hi Chicago girl! What did you decide? 7 weeks post op and thrilled i am able to do yoga poses I was afraid to even attempt with my implants in. So fun!
I Bet!!!! I m a 32 triple DDD!!! I am leaving it up to the surgeon if my own breast tissue is a full sea and I will not have a tiny implant if he can’t make it look good then he will do the very smallest implant I’d rather not have any but I am going to leave it up to him he said if I hated them he would remove them for free in the next six months after surgery I am scheduled November 29...A part of me is afraid that all my balance will be off after the explant because right now I’ve learned how to balance with these brass I’m afraid once that weight is gone I will have to start back at square one but maybe it will be easier Huh?I love yoga I’ve been practicing for 14 years but have been teaching for seven months and I absolutely love it!!!I feel like I can’t do full wheel with these boobs but I feel like I’ll be able to once that weight is gone!!!But they are our other poses that I am great at and I feel like it’s because of the weight in my chest area!!
Thank you, my surgeon is going to use the mesh inside the breast as an internal bra with the lift, I just some fullness at the top.. I am going I l t the surgeon choose, what looks best, I m a 32 triple DDD I want o be. Full C,
sounds like a great plan! I did not even know they could do the mesh!
Yes!!! My Dr. along with 2 other Dr.s invented it!!!It’s implanted and it’s shaped like the breast and as your healing tissue forms around the inserts-and it dissolves into the body, and it is completely safe but the scar tissue serves as an internal bra!! My surgeon has been working with it for 5 years, but most Dr.s are just now using it..
Wow!!! can't wait to see pics

You look fabulous! I just went bra shopping too, a few days ago, (7 and 1//2 weeks post surgery), and was surprised to learn I am now a 36 C. Much bigger than I expected to be, but I feel great knowing that it's all my own breast tissue. Your surgeon did a great job, your incisions are already so flat. Hoping mine will get there, but even if they don't, I'm still so happy I decided to go through with this.
Agree!

4 1/2 weeks post op- scars improving
I have had a few requests for pics of the scars. Things continue to improve. Woke up yesterday with a little itchy rash. Ps said this can happen as the internal sutures dissolve. I put on a little cortisone cream and am sure it will improve. I continue to be thrilled with having my implants out. The only thing I regret is not doing it sooner.

Wow... you look great, I go see him tomorrow to see if he will be able to fix some of the scars that I have from a previous breast lift surgery were I feel like I have been botched, seeing how good your incisions looks is giving me hope, but I've already been to so many different Dr.'s I'm trying not to get to excited.
Good luck! Keep me posted!
So I just got back from meeting Dr. Kuy. He seems very nice, kind of soft spoken, but seems like he will be able to help me with my scars and symmetry issues that I was left with from the last Dr. I'm very interested in how your scars heal and how you final outcome looks in a few months. So please keep us posted :-)
will do. they look better every day. will post again soon.
You look great! My story is pretty similar and my surgery is this Friday. I hope to have results as good as these! Thank you for sharing!
Good luck tomorrow!
Sexy boobs I need to do this
