So here they are 6 days post op
I finally got my drains out today
Thank God they are out they are a pain
I feel pretty good just tired but I did run some errands today and maybe I over did it
No pain from the incision just a little of pain from the inside but like the DR said all the nerves and everything inside is changing and healing and they aren't too happy right now
My right one is still bigger than my left but I feel so much lighter and being in my compression bra feels so good, it feels good to have my own boobs??? I thought I was going to go under depression because of the down sizing but I'm not I feel pretty good and I haven't take any more pain meds

So here they are I was given the ok to shower just have to be really careful since I still have drains
I'm flat :( I remember now why I got them in the first place
But now it's all behind me I care more about my health and I'm just going to wait and see if they change and fluff a little more
I'm natural and I feel better
Embracing natural beauty even if it's in my own eyes ;)

Jumping in here to say all normal girls, but it's incredible how the body can recuperate, did you see my popped party balloons?... Lol... Then the stretched looking skin melted away with time, oil and cream, and now they've sprung up to reveal my scars, thanks boobies! Haha.. Hang in there with us girls, it's a freaky ride to freedom, but one we can handle! ;) [RS bleep]

Thank you ! I really appreciate your good wishes ! People like you kee us moving forward :) I'm happy with my results and I'm still in pain meds still but I do feel much better than yesterday
Like you said each day is going to be better and I'm glad I took them out I was thinking about fat transfer later down the road but I'm just staying the way I'm ! I think they have gone through a lot and I just want to leave them alone. I will keep updating
XOXO

Pictures of drains left I'm not getting much out of it
But right side I'm getting a lot of fluid
Kind of odd because I remember my right breast was bigger

Where you by any chance itch after surgery

Hi there. I hope you are doing well. I know how you feel - I also loved my new look but am having the en bloc explant with muscle correction due to all the same health issues. I would be very interested to hear your journey, not only regarding physical recovery but psychological. I am booked in for Nov 23rd and am dreading having to get used to be an A cup again or AA as I have a lot of scar tissue to be removed!
What size were you pre implants?
Look after yourself, spoil yourself and rest rest rest x

Hey! I think the first 24 hours are the worst
You won't be in intolerable pain but you will have to be on pain meds just to be on the comfortable side
I don't like to take pain meds and was trying to stay strong
But don't
If it hurts take them
You will feel very sore in your chest area just because when they are under the muscle they are working more underneath your muscle and rib cage so it is more intensive
I had more muscle spams but I think they are gone now
The drains are good to have they are a pain but I'm glad my Dr left them in
I have been draining like crazy
I will go today to see if they will take them out
I will also see my breast as they will take bandage off and help me get in my post op bra
I was an A cup before implants and then a DD after implants
In the psychological part I'm not quite there yet I guess when I see them I don't know what my reaction will be
I have been feeling better I don't have my brain fog and I'm not as thirsty as I used to be and that makes me really happy just because I think my health is more important than my implants so far so good
We will just see if I get depressed after looking at myself????
Yes thank you for your good wishes I'm resting and spoiling myself we do deserve it
Breast implants are no joke people especially if you get them done underneath the muscle !

I think we see it in our only naked eye !
But you do look great I bet you feel lighter too
I think you will look good too and don't do a lift I don't think you will need it
I was too having all the symptoms you mentioned but I'm 6 days post op and all I can tell you is that my brain fogginess is gone my eyesight improved I was diagnosed with fibro and so far it hasn't been bothering me :) I think it is a long process of detoxifying the body but so far I feel a lot better and maybe I will get even better with time
I'm so glad I found this site and people that had similar symptoms if I hadn't I would still be living in a total hell! Not knowing it was because of my implants
I'm not trying to say they are bad because I think some peoples bodies just naturally accepts them
But then there's people like us that just won't cooperate :) haha if I would of known about fat transfers I would of opted for that instead
I was thinking of getting them after I have my last kid but I think being flat is in right now either that or the big boob Pamela Anderson stage is over
My nurse from the hospital even said that lately a lot of people are coming in for explant
So I think people are learning that implants are not life long devices
I'm left with two scars from putting them in and removing them and then again having to spend about 12k
Our family vacation was postponed because I had to pay for my explant so... Many reasons I think I'm just leaving myself how I am :)
Take care and wishing good luck on your upcoming surgery
You are so thoughtful and kind to support me like this. It really gives me a lot of hope when I read how you are feeling so many good positive results so far! I am just so overjoyed for you! I know there is a chance that all the reasons I am explanting may not be addressed with the surgery, but I do know a LOT of them will. I completely understand how you feel about money spent and the sacrifices. Fat transfers were not even an option before but it seems they are perfecting them over time. And yes, small boobs are totally IN right now!
I am grateful there are women like you who understand this process intimately, the emotional, financial and physical cost. Fundamentally, we need a strong support system to accept and face the surgery and I have found that here with all of you brave women. It gives me so much comfort. Thank you so much! xoxox
