5o and Want my Silicon 250's Out! - Denver, CO

16 months post explant ~ So happy with my decision
$2,500
Hello Fellow Sisters!
I was so focused on getting the implants out, I haven't been on here in a very long time. Thought it was time for an update! BEYOND happy to be implant free! I now jog on my treadmill without having to "double buckle" the girls. (2 sports bras). I can breath now, before I felt I had such a tightness since my implants were pressing against my chest. I can wear cute tops now, and Bathing suits! Best of all I saved my silicone implants, just in case any of my girls want to get implants down the road. I will tell them to go buy a huge bra and wear these around a few days!!!!!! I'm sure that will convince them not to get them! LOL. The surgery for removal was super quick done under a local and maybe a day of downtime. If cost is an issue, look around, I was quoted 8K - 2K. If your in the Denver area, Dr. Atagi and her staff are AWESOME!!!! So happy with my decision! Wishing all of you happiness and health! XOXO

Happy Spring!
All going great! Living in my Genie bras so comfy! My scars are healing nicely, very little bruising! Have all my energy back and feeling great! Went shopping yesterday for some new tops! So exciting! Wishing all of you who have had surgery happy healing, and those of you waiting, it is so worth the wait! Thank you all for the support and well wishes. Breasts look about the same so not posting any pics! Have a great weekend!

Walmart 2 (black and nude) pack I found them in the "as seen on TV section" the bra department was so picked over, they run Small! I had to buy a large! They losen up tho. Also I only wore the snap front for maybe a day, the genie is so comfy! But, step into it instead of putting it on over ur head! Good luck! Keep us posted!!!!

Fab - when are you cleared for exercising? Do you feel any discomfort near the incisions? Are you back to your everyday activities? The explant instructions I got said cardio exercise may be resumed at 2 weeks.

Hello Prana! heading to Cali tomorrow for some R & R! Cant wait to wear a swim suit that im not spilling out of! Tried on some of my summer dresses, they look so much better with my smaller chest! I will be walking 3-4 miles everyday at a mild pace. Staying at a beautiful golf course community, thanks to my BFF from HS! I have scarguard from my doc and paper tape to put on top. the Silicone strips seemed to high maintenance for me. The scares under the breast r ok by me! Just so happy to be back natural! Feeling great and so ready for summer! Love everyones story and our shared feeling of healing at whatever pace worked for all of us! XOXO

Have a great trip!! I'm happy that you are getting away for some well-deserved R&R!! It sounds like you're doing well!
I'm feeling much better, as of two days ago. I'm sleeping on my sides with no pain, pretty much and am more comfy than before, for longer periods of time. Enjoy yourself!! xx

Hello Ladies,
Everything has been going great! I took it easy Friday with the exception of a few errands. I took just tylenol no Norco, was not really in any pain just worried not to stay on top of things if pain were to occur. Today, I took a shower! My daughter and I ran some errands went to lunch and went to the movies. Dr. Atagi called while we were out to check on me and how I was doing and If I had any questions, she is really a top notch PS! I put on a genie type bra today and a regular top and was thrilled that it seemed to hang on me, where before it hung to my breasts! I was so happy and felt like a normal person walking around today, not the person trying to hide her breast. It was a great feeling. I cannot believe how much lighter I feel and how easy it is to breathe, sigh…. I know you all have read this before, but my only regret is not doing this sooner! Below are pics of the girls along with silicon girls. ( . ) Y ( >. ) Soft hugs!!!
