WORTH IT$7,900
I had implants put in almost 7 years ago after having kids. I said "fill 'em up". At the time I was 130 lbs (5'5") I was always large breasted and thought I would be fine without a lift. So against the advice of my ps, I only had the implants. They looked awesome for the first few years. Huge and perky. Then gravity hit! Now they hang low, are super heavy, hurt in bras and out of bras. I started having pains and aches, foggy brain , memory loss , hair thinning out , etc. I am not sure it is related but I'm sure reading a lot about that. And to be honest , they just make me look fat. I'm excited to be getting them out and having a lift.
I am also considering a fat transfer. I have never been under a large c since a teenager and I don't know how I will feel without them. I have many questions I will ask at my pre-op this week to make the final decision.
I would have those pesky flanks and my thorax liposuctioned and transferred so I would have more upper pole fullness. We shall see !!

"fill 'em up" is exactly what I said to my PS when he suggested a lift too. I so identify with your story. I've just had my explant and so far, so good. No regrets :)

That's so great you have no regrets ! Did you have a lift or any other procedures or just the explant?

I have done the same but continue to be sick. My doc said its from age and stress...

I heard "anxiety" a lot. I just never bought into that as the main cause. I know stress can cause several different medical like conditions and I definitely won't deny it is a real thing. I just never had anxiety before them or any of the other symptoms. I'm looking forward to the old me.

Bras , compression garments, oh my...
So I found some Flexee seamless tanks I think will work. But I'm looking for some front closure sports bras that are comfy but cheap. Any thoughts ?

Sears has a Champion front zipper sports bra...I got mine for 19.99 and I have read here that they are very comfy. Also, check out the seamless wireless Bali Bra by Jockey. It hooks in the back and looks super comfy! I will get to try them out after April 12th when I have my explant.
I was also wondering about the compression velcro band....no one has answered you yet but I would like to know if that would be helpful. If you go to make me heal.com they have a 6" compression bandage with velcro that might work great. I almost ordered one...it's 21.00 and the shipping is 40.00 to canada plus the exchange rate so about $77.00 OMG, I can't afford that!

Thank you! Yikes that seems like a lot of money ! I was shopping on Amazon and found some good deals. I know for my procedure , they didn't want too much compression on my breasts. Good luck
