WORTH IT
Hello all! It always always helped me when I saw someone's postop after a year. Here's mine. All is well and I am happy. Feel better and not as self conscious. Still have some dent type weird stuff where the incision was but I'm not a stripper and it's okay. Sometimes I look at other women's breasts that are full and I compare and don't really feel "feminine" but I just remember how I felt with them in and it passes.

Very happy - I feel so much better in clothes and even without. I still have a "tethering" under the nipple where the incision was - I just keep massaging it and hoping it will go away.

Your indents have improved greatly! Looking wonderful and like they have always been that way. My incisions are under, near the crease line and one side is indented, allowed to begin firm massage next week, surgeon's orders. So lovely to see how things go later on with healing, hoping for a similar outcome myself! [RS bleep]

I haven't been on here in forever but am so happy I hopped on and see an update from you! Look how fantastic you look!!! I had been steady for a while there, but then noticed even more improvements happen around months 6-7 for me. The body really continues to heal & fluff months after & this whole journey has just been so awe inspiring!

Heyyy! I don't go on much either anymore but I know how much month by month pics helped me in my decision.. Thanks for the compliment - I really wish I did this YEARS ago but I honestly didn't even think it was an option (why??) Thank goodness for this site. Hope you are doing well!

I know that feeling - wish I'd done it 14 years prior myself, as soon as I knew they weren't for me! LOL! I think we all had visions of pancake horror breasts but clearly that is not the case! And money. Money did prevent me from doing it. All that money wasted both times. I should do a recent update as well. I take monthly photo's for myself, but I know it helped me when the ladies came back months later & updated. I LOVE how I look & feel now! I wish I'd been this way my entire life. Live & learn!

Fantastic results. So happy for you! Thank you so much for sharing your story and photos. It really helps those of us who are gearing up for explant to see how beautiful and natural we will look. Why did we ever think it was a good idea to "improve" on what nature designed!

You look fantastic.... I bottled out of having my surgery in April as so scared... I am scared that I and people I know, will react badly to the loss if volume in my breasts particularly the upper part... Why can't I be as brave.... I can only wish to look as great as u do now... My breasts were so small an AA and implants large at 410cc.... I have had implants for 19 years.....

Hi! I too was looking to explant, very sick for many years have had implants for 33 years. I've had the last set in Mentor gel silicone, 400cc and they have been in since 2004. My mammogram shows silicone leaking throughout my breast tissue and in my lymph nodes. I've gone to two PS and they both told me how unhappy I will be if I explant. I am scheduled this Friday, September 2 to have both capsules out implants out but replaced... I asked the surgeon again if he would just take them out and give me a lift but it was easier just to agree with putting them back in. I am so confused I don't know if I'm doing the right thing I just want to feel better. I'm a chicken also I am afraid of what I will look like after...
