From bad to worse
I haven't updated in a while because this has been such a rollercoaster ride and I have been highly embarrassed. After my explant I had no tissue and was concave. Couldn't even fill out an AAA bra. I decided to re-implant. Well, results have been horrible. Not only how off they are which makes me feel like he just rushed and not sure if he even sutured to prevent bottoming out and didn't work on pockets at all it seems like. The pain has been each and every day which has been the worst. I am uncomfortable on a daily basis trying to make it 6 months to finally be fixed and done with this so I can move on from breast issues!! Just so sad I had a doc that didn't and doesn't seem to care. He dismisses me when I talk about my issues with it. Going to have to find a revision specialist to find some peace. I am devastated!

it looks like an easy revision to me......sucks to have to go through this I know....but if they revise the one side you should be good to go. Im very sorry your going through this......ive thought about re implanting too but I'm to scared because of all the complications that women seem to go through. I pray you find a good doc that cares and revises the pocket for you! Good luck mama!!!!! xo think positive thoughts to attract the good outcome to you! easier said than done but give it a whirl!

I'm considering reimplantation after two years. Mine are AAA and concave, too. It's been really hard. It's like this internal struggle between "being natural" (albeit tampered with) and feeling "full". I wish there was an easy answer. Stay strong. Do you think you'll keep them?

It is definitely a struggle. I battled with it and really just wanted to move on but just didn't feel good about it or myself. Not being able to fill out any bra including a sports bra without being able to tell the co cavity was just too much for me. The pics I posted looked way better than it was. I am going to keep the implants just need to make sure I have a doctor that truly cares and takes the time to revise exactly what needs to be done. That is my biggest concern at this point. What do you think you will do?

I've decided that the problem that I face is not of whether my boobs are "good enough" because I have realised they never will be if that's what I'm chasing, but that I have to answer that *I* am good enough regardless of how my boobs or any other part of me looks. That is the real question I needed to answer as a teenager, as a 20-something and now in my 30s. From my history I know I'd get implants and instantly regret it because the will never be the answer. I've been asking the wrong question of myself.
Regardless of whether you keep your implants, revise them or explant again remember it's probably less about the actual appearance than what you're hoping to feel as a result of these actions. I thought getting my implants out would make me happier and more content at being "myself" but it didn't. So I was considering another surgery to delay dealing with the real questions in my heart. It's just torture at times.
Yours is the first thread I have commented on because I felt exactly as you did and i really connected with your story. I really hope that you find some peace and acceptance of yourself, inside and out

Thank you so much! Your words have helped me more than you will know. I hope you are at peace with that and if you ever need to talk let me know.

I know you are fit, but if you gained some weight could you get an explant and just do a fat transfer instead of implants? It seemed like after the explant your breasts needed just a bit of fat to fill out the looseness. Good luck in your journey!

Thank you. It is so tough because I would like that alternative but have read that the results oftentimes don't last. Feel so torn...

Trying to stay positive!
So I am forcing myself to post this because it is a part of my journey and keeping my sadness in is not going to help. I don't regret having them removed but I see so many results that look beautiful and mine just hangs and I am concave on top and sides :( and since I have scar tissue around my nipple its pulling in. I know it is really early and all I can do is hope time will take care of it. I am sure in a couple weeks I will feel better.

aw, sweetie, u r being too hard on yourself. You are only 3 days post op. Over the next 6 weeks your skin will contract and hopefully the fluff fairy will visit too. Wear a good compression bra that provides shaping and apply breast firming cream once your doc gives you go ahead. Just remember, if for some reason things don't look right after 6 months to year, you can go back to surgeon to discuss some way to help you look more nor,al (without implants)

Your breast tissue is even. All can be fixed. I hope you can afford it and, if you can, a fat transfer will do it all. You will probably have to wait 4 months but if will be worth it. You may, also, release some of the scar tissue with massage plus get a visit from the Fluff Fairy. You are young....all is well. Thanks for sharing and God Bless...

Please give yourself some time to fluff. Some people take more time, especially for the nipple scars to release the tissue back out. Keep looking for other people's photos that took time to fluff. It's funny how we expect to heal the same exact way for some reason, forgetting that we are all individuals. It happens to me, too. I have an obvious dent at the top of the right side and when I see photos of people whose surgery came out perfect, I wonder to myself why I have this issue and they don't. Then I have to remember 1) they are not me 2) it's okay!! Also realize that you just had a surgery even if it was local. This is a traumatic event for the body and for your emotions. It is perfectly normal to feel down after a surgery like this.

I think your results look really good and will get better. It's OK to be sad and you're right not to keep the emotions in. The whole journey leading up to explant is an emotional one, and the self-reflection and regrets are something we all share. Surgery taxes the body and the mind. Give yourself some time to heal both physically and emotionally. Many hugs.

Thank you for the encouragement! I love your pic and screen name. Serenity is what matters and having it even among chaos.

I'll re-implant in 13 days, but I had to do a fat transfer 3 months ago to have a little cover to future implants...
I saw your picture...what is the problem?
Hope you find a good surgeon and get your life back...I know how you feel and it is really difficult...
Wish you the best
