Explant/Capsulotomy/Lift. Goodbye Toxic Silicone Implants! Hello Beautiful Healthy Boobies! - Dallas, TX

Continually getting healthier with more energy!

Hi everyone! It's been 7 months since my explant. Everything has healed very well. The scars are so thin. Right about at the 6 month mark and after doing some pec weight lifting, I noticed my breasts filling in. Id say filling out, but they haven't gotten bigger, just less like empty skin and more full feeling. I'm still a size 32A and still very happy. It took an amount of self-love and self-acceptance to feel comfortable in certain clothes, but now I love the petite, natural, authentic & healthy ME. My favorite wireless bra is the Coobie Bra. So comfy and the perfect amount of padding and shape. I can't imagine doing another update anytime soon- life does go on and we all have to move on with it! I encourage all of you to do your research on your surgeon and get a 2nd or 3rd opinion if necessary. You are your own best advocate. Lots of love to you all.

6 weeks post explant today. Still zero regrets. Glad to have the implants out of my body. Love my soft, smooshy, natural feeling boobs. Still no muscle or joint pain. No numbness, tingling or muscle weakness. Can't tell if I've had any energy improvement yet because the seasonal allergens here are killing me. So still experiencing fatigue. Bra shopping sucks. I measure for a 32A, but I have absolutely no upper pole, so there is very few bras that fit right and don't have a weird gap in the top half of the cup. So far, the VS T-shirt bras with the wire fit the best, but I hate the wired bras, they are so uncomfortable. I didn't love the wireless t-shirt bra fit- not flattering. I do love the Under Armour deep v sports bras- great fit, comfortable and flattering- just wish I could wear a sport bra under everything!! Next try will be the Itty Bitty Bra Co and Hanky Panky. I hear they have great selection for 32As.
The steri strip bandages started peeling off at 5 weeks. It's much easier to stay positve about your healing areolas when you can't see them!! The scars look pretty good for 6 weeks out, but I may have lost a little volume in my breasts. I'm hoping that putting on some needed weight and finally being able to do some pec excercises will improve the size a bit. The skin still has some tightening to do. I returned the Mederma cream since it contains alcohol and opted not to buy Bio Sil since the first ingredient is mineral oil. Yuck. Still using my homemade salve of Shea butter, coconut oil and a blend of essential oils including Sacred Frankinsence and Helichrysum EOs.
