I went bra-shopping today, I wasn't looking forward to it, but I ended up buying a 32 D and 32 DD bras!!
Of course padded one, I don't even dare to wear no padded bra!
I bought some silicone enhancers from Silicone Sally, they are great, I had to increase my cup size to DD (of course, I guess, it depends on brands). Then I bought a D cup bra from Ann Summers the one that increases your cup size, it looks good, I hope.
Of course I can't see myself naked, they look awful, or even with a normal bra in my normal cup size, I am a B cup (I didn't know that) but quite an empty B. Anyway will see what the future will bring me!

Wow I know how you feel I'm 12 days post op from having a small breast lift and implants day 10 post op I developed a hematoma on my right breast so they took my implant out I now look like a freak I can't look in the mirror without crying I'm still in hospital post surgery it's been day 3 post removal and I'm an emotional wreck I can relate to every single word you said and I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like that unfortunately in Australia it is very difficult to get emotional or psychological support for these types of situations do I have to live with one boob for the next few months I didn't even get a chance to enjoy them . Thank you for sharing your story and making me feel less alone xx

Oh I am really sorry for what happen to you! Are they going to put the implants back in in a few months time? It must be horrible having only one implant in!

Words can not come close to how I'm feeling if I didn't have insecurities with my breasts before the op it's a million times worse now I have one beautiful breast and one shriveled up breast I wish I could upload a photo to show you but I can't upload onto this website on my iPhone . I have I dd breast and one saggy and shriveled a cup breast it was not ness assert to remove the implant as I did not have an infection I can only blame seeking advice through the public health system one minute I was just getting the hematoma drained the next minute I woke up with no implant and I was told we. Took it out just incase you have an infection right now the hospital is giving me high doses of Valium to keep me calm and have told me they will revue in 6 months time and in the meantime to go and by a prosthetic breast

I know how you feel, just try to be positive (easy to say then done, I know!) but at least there is a chance they will put the implant back in. I hate my boobs as well, yesterday I had to throw all my clothes that don't fit me anymore, it was and still is so hard, tops and dresses I loved to wear I can't wear them anymore, it is so painful. I start crying each time I thing about it even now while I am typing. I haven't got the money to have another BA and I don't know if I will reckless again to do another one. My husband and I are planning a baby next year so I can't afford any eventual complication but then I don't know if I can keep going on like this! We are not alone, if you need to talk I am here to listen!!!

Hi Unicorn, I really think you have a great result, you dont look saggy at all and look like you never had implants. You just look like a naturally slim built woman now in proportion.
We are our own worst critics, and will always find fault with ourselves. You honestly look not just fine, but great.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but this is not the end of the world - you have to get this in perspective. Try and remember all the reasons you needed explant. I had PIP implants too and I am so glad to be rid of them. You can always wait a few months and if you really feel like you cant live with smaller breasts then consider replacing them.
hugs

Hi andi22
Thank you for your support. You haven't been harsh at all, you are perfectly right (I really think I need someone to kick mu bum!!!). I read you story and I wish I can take it as you did. In a way I am starting to get used to it until I look my self in the mirror, so I try to think positive but it is really hard! I think I will keep reading your story when I am feeling down ;-)

Hi! I think maybe it was easier for me, because although I didn't hate the implants I did have health problems (autoimmune disease) so when I heard they were pip implants it was not so difficult for me to decide not to replace them. I just noticed you had a rupture though - this is more reason in my mind for you to be happy to have those gross toxic bags out of you...imagine what could have happened if they been in much longer. Along with women themselves who have been sick from these implants my surgeon told me about a PIP patient he has who was breast feeding her baby and the baby too was ill.
I am only an A cup now. I had a few tears those first few days as well, it was a bit of a shock, but I got some nice push up and padded bras and I look fine! I also wore a genie bra which is like a pull on bra with pads which gives a nice rounded shape. They have also tightened up considerably since those first few days.
You are going to be fine once you get used to it all :) xx

Just to let you know, I just came back from my last consultation with my doctor for a check up, it is all good, my left scar is better then the right one but they are healing ok. I have uploaded a photo so you can see the rapture of the right implant. I have caught it on time as the silicone hasn't become liquid yet!
I have to thank you all of you and this website for the kind support I am receiving, I really appreciate it!!!!

Thank you so much to all of you!!
Why can't I see what you see? It is so frustrating.
I should have some kind of counselling from Let's Talk NHS support group, I hope they can replace this silly brain of mine!

Appearance will change dramatically over the next few months. I am four months post-implant. In the beginning, I could not fill-out my bras (Pre-implants..I only had my implants 3 months), and now I fill them out completely! I was so bummed in the beginning. You really have to give yourself time. I know it's hard. I promise you..they'll get better..although I think they look pretty good being only a few days post-op! :)
August 30, 2012
I think you look nice post op. Try not to get down. Look at my pics, it may make you feel better. I am very deflated, but keeping positive.
