Breast Implant Removal with Lift-sooooo Happy!!

Hi everyone!

I have never posted here before, but thought I should share my experience to hopefully help anyone considering what I did. :))

I am a mom to 2 children and due to pregnancy and nursing them a year each I had deflated breasts. I decided I wanted a lift and the doctor I used thought I should also have an implant to achieve fullness. I agreed. I was someone who exercised a lot and didn't think about the impact the implants would have on my life.

I lived with DDD boobs for 10 years and didn't exercise the way I used to at all. I gained 20 pounds over those 10 years. I got saggy boobs again and hated the way my boobs looked.

In March I went for a consultation and booked surgery that same afternoon. The doctor I chose was one referred to me by my GP. She was amazing. I will write more about that in a minute.

I did research online, read a lot on this forum and was scared to go through with the surgery but I am SO GLAD that I did it! I am Day 4 post surgery, only taking extra strength Tylenol and want to see a movie this afternoon, at the theatre, not my living room :)

I had my first shower yesterday morning and took the dressings off. I had a lift as well as an explant. The scars are very vivid but I know they will heal nicely because they did before. Not even thinking about that right now because I am SO happy about my little boobies! I have always been a D my whole life and I told the doctor that I wanted to be a large B or small C. It looks like I am! They are natural looking and I am so excited to see what they will look like after all the healing. I look like I have lost at least 10 pounds too.

If you are considering this surgery, do not be afraid and follow your gut! It feels so good to be all natural!

I continue to be happy with the decision of getting the implants removed and a lift. I am no longer taking anything for pain at all and am back to work (since day 7 post op) and other than no exercise, living pretty much the same as before.
I go in 2 days for a 14 day post op check up and hope to get the tape and stitches off. I hope to be cleared for at least 2 mile walks.
I also have lost 6 pounds since the operation, and I still have swelling in my breasts. I truly believe that my body was holding onto weight with the implants. When I had the surgery to put the implants in I only gained 3 pounds, that is why I truly believe my body did not react well to the implants and I am finally losing weight again!
I will update after the appointment this week. Again, if you are considering this procedure, I would highly recommend and encourage you to take the leap and get your natural self back!
