45 Years Old and Free from 17year Silicone Prison

Well, here I am two years since having implants removed. Verdict? So worth it. I can say with certainty that my quality of life has been better over this last two years. I am able to work out better. I am fitter and far healthier. I was getting to the point where I was constantly suffering from colds and viruses. Have barely been ill at all since I had them out! My mind is infinitely sharper too. Husband says that he thinks I have returned to the girl he first fell in love with. In terms of physique, yup, still crinkly at times but hey, I'll take it as it is. Improvements definitely continued over the two years but not expecting any change now. I've learnt to love how i am and guess what? I've realised that I wasn't as flat chested as I thought I was. Just think, if all us small breasted women just owned it and accepted our bodies with pride, maybe our daughters and granddaughters would realise that in reality the world isn't full of buxom bosoms. Perhaps, just perhaps they would accept their natural beauty and be protected from thinking that they should pay good money to shove toxic waste into their chests! sending love and respect to all explanters.

Well, here I am one year on from having silicone implants removed. Do I feel flat chested? Often. Have my boobs pinged back to what they were pre augmentation? No. Do I think things have finished healing? No. Am I happy? Ecstatic! I am still wrinkly, saggy and baggy at certain angles and still have to manage the poses my husband sees me in ......... But ...,.,,.miraculously the skin on my chest continues to improve. Each week it is slightly less wrinkly than the week before and the skin itself feels thicker and less stretched. This of course is a double edged sword because, as skin contracts and boobs firm up, they also appear to get smaller!! Don't think they do in reality, stuff just moves!! Currently a flat 30d seems to be where things are at. Did go through the usual sadness of bras riding up, and then realised I needed to go down a band size and up a cup size! Much better result!! Have symptoms of silicone poisoning improved? Definitely. Am I glad I did it? Absolutely. Would I re-implant? That would be a nope!!' Good luck to all you ladies out there. Love yourselves!!!

Six months now since explant. Things still changing little by little. Firming up and projecting a bit more. Still need to moisturise skin. Still sleeping so much better. A solid eight hours each night and waking up fresh. Also, and bizarrly, my monthly cycle appears to have returned to something like regular! Before explant was missing several cycles a year, have now had six in six months!! Go figure!! Also, my asthma which is usually dreadful in July has been so much better. May have been a fluke, but definitely one that I'm happy about. Sending hugs to you all. Xx
