Love your story and I’m following it cause I too have 350cc under muscle saline implants for 18 yrs. I have little contractor. Will be getting them removed in office in April, 2018 and I can hardly wait. I was only an A cup, now I’m probably a d-did. I’m also almost 65 yrs old. Question? Do yours look like they did before you got your implants. I think they look fantastic!!

Hi sorry it's taken me 5 years to respond! Yes they do. I started HRT last year due to menopause and they've actually filled out more! How are yours coming along?

Went to PS today and he aspirated 105 CCs from my left breast of serosanguineous fluid. It feels so much better. He said usually when someone develops a seroma it can take up to 3 aspirations to completely clear it. So I have a follow up on Monday to see whether I need to have it done again.

Hopefully you don't need anymore, did you ps said what could off been the cause of you developing the seroma....
September 22, 2015
Darn, that's no good. Glad you're getting it looked after, but no fun! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!
September 23, 2015
It seems to be bringing it up to meet the other side. Good luck on Monday!

Keep us posted. Your breasts look soft and sexy! How skewed our thinking is to think baseballs look better on our chests than natural breasts. :D Best wishes for the upcoming PS visits to be positive and informative ones.
September 24, 2015
Thank you all for the well wishes. I'm still very glad to have explanted! I feel that more fluid had accumulated in left breast just not as much as before. PS said that would likely be the case. Good to have the right expectations.

What an amazing improvement. The bigger side isn't collecting fluid, is it? I have no idea what that would look like, just want to make sure everything is ok. You look beautiful.
September 16, 2015
Thank you. I was wondering the same thing. I've palpated the breast, even giggled it and it doesn't feel like fluid but ultimately I'll have to wait for my follow up appt with ps.
September 16, 2015
you are looking good, just a thought.....could be fluid, But if not I'm sure things will continue to change......its still early in the game for ya! Hang in there, the body is always changing and healing:) xo
September 16, 2015
That's my only concern. But this breast has been larger even prior to explant....you can see that in my pre op pictures. The weird thing is I don't remember them being different sizes prior to implanting on my twenties. Can this happen from my pregnancies?

have you had capsules removed? seroma may occur after explant when capsules are left in. im not having capsules removed personally. my ps's decision.
September 16, 2015
No my capsules were left intact

HI There..very interested in having my implants removed. Love Dr. Rex. Now that I am in my 50's upper body gets so much bigger and with the implants is just uncomfortable. I always felt mine were too big. I have already replaced once. Went from Saline to Silicone. The silicone is so nice and natural feeling but still too big. I was very insistent I wanted a full b/c cup not c/d...which I ended up with again. Rex did not do this. Now no one wants to remove...said I would need a lift. Which would be ok with me. I may go see Rex to discuss. What are you plans? Will you do lift? Or are you happy to stay as is. I know the relief you must feel!
September 18, 2015
I cannot tell you how refreshing it was to discuss my explant with Dr Rex. He in no way tried to talk me into a lift. In fact he said that the skin can often retract nicely on it's own. I don't think i will want one but Im giving my body a year to heal before I make a final decision. He seems very understanding about how women our age feel about growing older with implants
September 18, 2015
Yes! Exactly how I felt - other than the pains I was having. They were too big In the way. Did I want to get old and have them looking younger? So many similar stories. Good luck!

I can recall going on a cruise when I was about 36 and seeing what looked to be an elderly lady sunning herself by the pool with these two torpedo like breasts high on her chest....and I thought to myself I never want to be that person

excuse me interjecting, same with me, I just cannot really help feeling stupid , it is very visible when breasts are fake. My implants embarrassed me. I am concerned with what I may look like ( it'sbeyond my imagination), and I AM anxious of course, e.g. in the morning the thought 'what if my skin adheres to tissues unevenly' bugged me for a minute (I just let go of it).
