Almost a year since explant!
WORTH IT$1,350
April 9th 2015 was my explant with Dr. KUY, he's amazing, and my body is responding with health returning in a myriad of ways. I've lost 40 pounds. I've gone off several meds. The list is too long to list! Ultimately, I feel better. I AM better. The migraines have gotten so much better. It was the best decision for me.

You look great! Congrats!

Your story is inspiring, thank you! I'm explanting on Feb 29 and am so encouraged by you. I'll defiantly be derma rolling. Is there a special way to do it?

A cross hatch pattern, like a pound sign. Each direction, several times, until the area of breast or other area is covered. I do tops of my hands, and they don't look 51 because of that, alone. Those micro needling devices are the thing!

Thank you! Got back to fill time yoga and ballet, and it's sooooooo much easier on my body without the heavy breasts and sports bras that felt like armor, and still didn't work. Lol.

Sunny Gold did an article on this in health magazine a month or so ago. It's online, and a great article. I'm in it :)

4 and a half months post explant! SO HAPPY!
I am so happy with the decision to explant! Almost 5 months post,Ams aside from some intermittent sharp pains, a few achy areola days, and a twinge here and there, I've had nothing but steady increase in health and happiness. I've been able to go off twice daily migraine meds, twice daily beta blockers for palpitations, second dose of lasix (I had odd swelling for several years and was on it twice a day, but am down to once, working toward getting of it completely), and 2 other meds prn. It's wondrous.
I even got so much mental clarity back that my first children's book was released Monday! I was able to write and be creative freely, again.

I hope each and every one of you is well, happy, and in full possession of the knowledge that you are freaking SPECTACULAR!
Hug, Birdwoman

You look great and your story is very encouraging! I have a question, how long after your explant did you start massage and using the derma roller?
July 27, 2015
I started gentle, light massage after 2nd week. Just a bit, right out of the shower, with the firming lotions. The derma roller I didn't start using until end of week 4. Lightly, so lightly. Then, gradually increased both pressure and time on massage and derma roller.
Thanks for the sweet kind words! Are you explanting, or have you already?

I explanted on July 30. I had 525 saline implants filled to 575. I am happy I explanted but I have a lot of wrinkling under the areolas. I have been using firming lotion with light massage and I'm hoping it will improve with time. I will have to get a derma roller. Thank you for the info you gave me!

Wowee! They are gorgeous Birdwoman! I am thrilled for you. Natural boobs are NOT full at the top, only the fake ones are round all over. Yours are perfect. I was teeny tiny pre BA so don't expect to look anything like you but thank you for sharing your journey and photos. Reading all the stories of others who have been through the process is so helpful.

Explant is not scheduled yet. I have 3 consults this month, first one on Tuesday with the surgeon who did my BA. I wanted to see him first so I can get copies of my pre-implant photos and if possible, copies of surgical notes. I will make a decision on the surgeon and hopefully schedule the surgery for late September or early October.
It's the Best thing ever to do, I can attest to that!
Keep me posted,and stay strong, you're doing the right thing, and you're going to feel so great after you heal that you'll feel like a new person. Hug.
