So anyone late 50's plus out there who have had their implants removed?

I know it varies from person to person, but how much "tightening" did you see?
I'm a week out, still wearing the ace bandage.
I know it takes time to see final results...

Kind of scary (but it will get better- I hope)
TaraRoslynJune 1, 2016
These pics are five days after removal. The iPhone shots make them look bigger than they really are. I tried to get an angle that shows the sort of concave look, but couldn't get it right. The scariest one is the one bent over.
Thanks to this site, I know that it will get better.
It's such a change, going from a 32 quad D to this. Not sure at this point if I'll even be an A cup.
But, I'm actually kind of excited to see what they finally look like in six months.
I like the fact that I can move my arms around and flex without feeling the muscle moving over the implants.
It's been weird to look in the mirror and see - no boobs!
Well. little boobs.

I think you look darn good! I would be quite pleased to have such a good result at this point. I will be going from a 36D to 36A-ish, I think. I know how older skin doesn't bounce back like the young women's but of course one always hopes for the best. Thank you for sharing your feelings and photos.

One other thing -what do you tell folks?
TaraRoslynMay 30, 2016
Got this done last Friday, wondering what you tell folks who might notice or ask? Or, does anyone really have the moxie to ask what happened?
My family of course knows about the BA, no one else does for sure.
So-- how to explain why I'll be wrapped up in an ace bandage for a few weeks?

I finally came out and ANNOUNCED TO THE WORLD ... my family did know I was going to be having the explant, but it was secret to the world. But most all my other family and friends have known how very ill I have been. My husband and I talked about it. MOST people had no idea I had Implants. But we figured, if we can help anyone making decisions, or needing to begin asking about illnesses and such, I might be able to change a life. So we announced that I had been extremely ill and was having my urgent explant surgery and that was it. Many women and even men ask me how I knew my illnesses were related to BII and such. Coming out was the best thing I could do for the world. I was shy at first, then I looked at the BIG picture.
You can also get a COMPRESSION BRA (Walmart has them in the sports bra area) the front closures which are nearly exactly like my compression bra from the surgery center. SO you probably can ask to use a compression bra if you want. Or bra with wrap on at night (until drains are out). MY surgeon did not want me wrapped, he likes the incision to heal straight, and too much sideways pressure can cause wrinkles in the scar he says.
But most of all REST more than you think. Sleep cures, heals. Bone broth (homemade chicken soup also) has very curative and strengthening powers) and lots of fluids to get that junk out of you. REST and HEAL... You won't be feeling like running all around for a bit.
I wish I could show you my compression bra... NO one would know anything if you didn't want to share your information. Those bras at Walmart (white, cotton, front closures, soft and hold you firmly) are awesome... Check with your doctor!
good luck <3

Thanks very much for the insight. I would like I'll be able to get some kind of sports bra or something. I'm just two days out from explant, feeling pretty good. Kind of tired. Should get the drains out tomorrow. Since I did this over a holiday weekend, I have them in a little longer. They're kind of annoying, actually, but needed. I've only taken one pain med. That was yesterday.

Tara, it sounds like you are doing well. I am really glad for you. YES, get a COMPRESSION type sports bra to support yourself for a month or two... They are nice for sleeping in also for later.
