Hi day tripper,
Im sure you'll be thrilled with your outcome. Seeing most of the posts on this forum, it takes time but eventually they recover most of their elasticity ( or at least I'm hoping so with mine)
I will follow your updates with interest in now I'm now 12 days post op and it's like wishing my life away wanting the fluff fairy to visit! Lol not to mention being able to sleep on my side and wear nice little ( in my case ) bras again.
Anyway, I wish you well in your explant journey. Xx

UPDATED FROM day tripper
4 days pre
COUNT DOWN !! ........5 days until explant
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

I'm wishing you a happy healthy explant- I'm happy to did
August 16, 2016
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

Good luck for tomorrow xx

Thank you so much....fingers crossed it will be okay.

'FEELING GREAT'...2nd day post
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
August 19, 2016
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.
August 26, 2016
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

What was your size before BA if you don't mind me asking, and also how did you know that the implants had ruptured?
I found a lump at the base of my left breast and my doctor sent me for ultra- sound scan, luckily the lump was just the crease of my implant but showed the ruptures and leakage of silicone in the
breast tissue. After studying other pictures of ladies similar to me
I decided to just have them out as I do not want all the scars that goes with an uplift . My previous size was a small 34B and I am really hoping that I will be left with enough breast tissue to be a B/C.
It is starting to feel a little scary now as time is drawing near but
with the support of my husband hopefully all will be okay. They
have been fun and I enjoyed them but for this phase in my life I do
not want anymore hassle.
Good luck x
