Bye Bye Boobies

37 days deflated

$4,200
My implants have been deflated for 37 days so far. My PS wants to see me on Nov. 2nd. I'm supposed to give him my decision (explant & lift or explant only) on that date. In the meantime, I have consults set with two other plastic surgeons. I went with the first doctor I saw for my breast augmentation. I don't want to make anymore mistakes and I owe it to myself to meet other doctors.
Added pics from today. Sorry about the crappy lighting.

You look good without the implants, what are you thinking? Lift only?
congrats on removal!! are you planning the lift too? All the best!!
Just an FYI implants are still in, just deflated. I'm thinking lift but have about 20 lbs I want to lose first.
How did everything go at the Nov 2nd appt? Honestly lift scars are not as bad as you think. But I think your breasts are bouncing back nicely! Have any updated photos to post? Keep us updated !
I’ve actually gone to see 2 more plastic surgeons. I’m trying to lose 20 to 30 lbs so both suggested I️ wait to get the lift. I’m probably going to move forward with the removal now. I️ can sometimes feel the deflated bags poking me. Pretty annoying. Sometimes it hurts. Good news is I️ found a reasonably priced dr that will do the removal in office under a local.

30 days deflated

They look like my pre-implant boobs. Maybe a little more sag but not much. Still on the fence about a lift.

I am 8 days post explant and lift. I wanted a lift originally and ended up with huge under the muscle implants... anyway I explanted because of a lot of the reasons you did too. I'm glad you chose to get those toxic bags out of you. I think your breasts look great! I understand the want for a lift. I probably would have been on the fence except I knew that's what I originally wanted 8 years ago! You will make the right decision. The healing time seems to drag on for me but I'm sure once I'm on the other side it won't seem as bad as I think. I'll be following to see what you choose!
I think you are doing great! Keep sharing your story. It is so helpful to read everyone's posts.
I recommend a lift for your own comfort. The scars do not have to be severe depending on the surgeon's technique. Be happy. :))
I'm working on losing about 20 lbs. Would really like to wait until after the weight is gone.

Did this happen to anyone???

So today is day 5 after the deflation. Disappointed that I am a D-DD. I guess that's way better than G but I was hoping for a bit smaller. Anyway, the past couple days I've noticed some weird soreness in the upper pole area. It's not super painful, just a dull ache every now and then. Anyone have soreness in the upper pole area after explant or deflation??
Also, not much change since day 2...
