I am a bit behind with this update but just wanted to let
you all know that my feelings have not changed about my explant....it was worth every pound spent. I returned to work within 2 weeks and had no problems at all. I used
Bio-Oil every night to encourage the healing process on my
scars and it has certainly worked well.....definitely would advised doing this . My husband never like my implants
and informed me the real me is much nicer and suit my
body shape much better. I cope with my Yoga class better
too as lying on my front was most uncomfortable, they hurt and I was a bit nervous of bursting these 2 large balls that rolled beneath me......Ouch!!
To all you lovely ladies out there do not worry about
having your implants removed ......it is so worth it !
I wish you all good luck and I thank all those who have put
their photos up on RealSelf for without your courage and
input I would not have had the confidence to approach
this operation with so much good advice.
Thank you so much and love to you all x

Hi Daytripper, Great to see your update. I am so pleased for you. You certainly are looking great. I totally agree with you with regard to the yoga! I feel so much better now doing the forward poses and as yet haven't had a back massage but I know I'm going to enjoy it so much more now I won't need t put rolled up towels under both shoulders to help with the uncomfortable rocks that are no less beer there! YAY!!!! Hugs to you xx

I am delighted and happy.....it is over and I am back to me
again and loving it!! My surgeon was wonderful so were the nurses, they all made me feel so at ease and the operation went okay with little pain and discomfort. It was
not nearly as bad as I thought and my breasts are healing
nicely already. One is slightly larger due a little swelling
with bruising due to a more difficult extraction of the implant. Other than that it all feels good.

Ah great to hear! Must be such a relief- have been thinking about you and watching out for your post! Was it a long operation? Was your silicone leak intra or extracapsular? Glad you are doing well x

Sorry you have already answered that question! Did they manage to get all of the silicone out? X

Were your implants above the muscle

Hi tam0917,
My implants were under the muscle and my surgeon
had a bit of a struggle to remove my right implant,
however he did a great job and my breasts look
and feel really good. Just go for it I am sure all will
be well for you. Hugs [RS bleep]

They look great! I am hoping mine will be around the same size as yours.

I think your breasts will be a good shape after
explant so do not worry. Mine hung much lower
and now look normal...... I am a 34C and they look
better now than with implants.
Go for it! Good Luck xx

Trying to keep busy the dog has never been walked so much!
I have started looking at pretty underwear and my lovely
husband ordered me 2 new underwear sets which I will
put on when I have fully recovered. Curiosity as to what
size I will be is foremost on my mind.....A SIZE B WOULD BE GOOD. I have confidence in my surgeon as he is highly experienced but I'm still a little nervous.

Hi day tripper- woohoo! Not long to go now. I was just the same, busy doing everything do that it was all organised for my return and that my husband had only himself to sort out. If you're anything like me you might be surprised to have gone up a cup size. As I'm past my menopause, I think I may have acquired some more breast tissue since. I have a long way to go (if at all) to get any fluffing but, I live in hope and am now gently massaging morning and before bed with the Naturalful cream. Hugs to you, have a great weekend x

Good Luck to you! This website is amazing isn't it! I am also due to explant on 16th August in Cheshire, UK. Before finding this site I would have gone down the replacement route but the ladies stories have inspired me to go natural again. I've had silicone implants for 18 years, I'm 46 now and have a rupture. I'm nervous like you but I'm looking forward to having natural boobs again! Best wishes x
