WORTH IT
Hi everyone,
As you can see i still have a way to go with regard to my left breast, the dent has already disappeared from the right breast and it looks totally normal. But my left is not looking great, probably due to the problems with the hard capsule that was in there. Has anyone else had this problem and did it improve?
Still extremely sore but it is only day one. I am alternating between a compression bra at night and a softer one during the day. Not sure if this is a good idea but the compression bra is too tight for the whole time. I may have to call my surgeon to see what he says.
I'm still happy as I have a good amount of breast tissue, just hoping my left sorts itself out! I also have an inverted nipple. Hope it gets better soon.

Wow you look amazing!! They are only going to get even better from now on too. Glad you are ok. If you don't mind me asking, how long did you have to wait for them to be done on the nhs x

Thanks! I am slowly getting used to them! originally, I had funding approved to have just the left implant removed and replaced. I then got pregnant which put everything back 2 years. When I resumed consultation, they then decided, in light of the PIP scandal, that i should be dealt with by plastic surgery and so funding had to be approved for a second time, i was approved for funding in the summer and then just had them done. Funding only takes about a month. So you should not wait much more than 9 months, although it might depend on where you live.

Thank you for the info. Much appreciate. Hopefully I will get seen to soon. I have an appointment on the 15th. Fingers crossed it's some good news. Seriously though your pictures look great already. Hope you are helping well and recover from your surgery quickly xx

Woe! You look amazing! And no lift?! You didn't need it! Hooray! Time will make them look better and better! Go you! (Can you tell I'm excited for you?)

Thank you so much. They are a bit dented underneath, i hope this improves. But other than that they look relatively normal. I was expecting wrinkles because the skin was quite tight and they had been in so long. It feels weird when I put my hand over them and feel how small they are now, but I like them. I feel normal and natural!

Finally free and still have boobies!

Well I'm finally free of my implants and so happy and relieved. My only regret is that i didn't do it sooner.
I hadn't ruptured and they weren't PIP!! But the surgeon said they were on their last legs. So i guess they weren't far away from rupturing. I'm still in hospital and should be out today, i may have to go home with one drain in. I feel extremely sore, weirdly yesterday i can only describe the pain as if i had an underwired bra on that had ridden up over my breasts and was pressing on them!
Now for the results. I took the photos about 2 hours post op and they look better than the photos already! i still have a reasonable amount of breast tissue, I am saggy but happy to give it time. If I end up being unhappy with the sagging i am going to have a lift but I won't ever have implants again! !!
I haven't seen the surgeon yet so I will tell you what he said about next steps and aftercare once i have seen him.
It feels amazing to have soft normal breasts again. I urge anyone considering it to go for it! !!
