I'm curious, Did surgeon end up removing the entire capsule?

Congrats!!! I wish you a speedy recovery...

Congratulations on reaching the other side. Please don't be despondent if you don't notice results immediately. It will take time. Every week I'm noticing improvement and am 24 days post op. Don't rush to buy bras either. I did buy a non wired soft t-shirt bra last weekend but unfortunately it still hurt. Keep with crop tops for the time being or nothing initially. I didn't wear a bra for about 2 weeks! And give yourself time to recover. Xx

It is so hard to not be nervous to be honest but just try to remind yourself why you are doing this. Let the lovely women of RS help you through it.. I just had mine explained today and felt the same way you do now 2 weeks ago. It is completely normal. I can't get over how soft my bobbies are and I already feel much less pain in my upper back and neck. So worth it

I wish u the best.. Im building up courage to do an explant too

Hey there. Please try not to panic or worry. Unfortunately, I did not have a choice in my explant as I gad a rupture"
March 14, 2016
Sorry, I will start again. Posted instead of corrected, doh! I had a rupture and needed an explant. To be fair, I was gutted when I found out about the rupture. I loved my breasts. However, during the 10 yrs of having them there have been various complications. You can read my story on this site. My explant has gone well, I did need drains but please try not to worry too much, they're not great but they take all the 'bad stuff' away. I had many tears before my op, but nothing since. Mentally, I feel good, I'm still in recovery but healing every day. My consultant has put dressings on me that aren't being taken off until 15 days post op (this Thursday) but from what I can see, I look small but not saggy and they are all mine! I did have a choice of having new implants but I honestly thought my implants would last a lifetime. I'm not prepared to go through this again. Please try and stay positive. This site has certainly helped and encouraged me through my journey. Take care. Xx

Are you done? How are you feeling and what do you think about the results? I have the very same height and weight with you and considering to explant. But I was totally flat before :(

My Explant was 4 weeks ago and had drains for a week. They did not bother me at all and easy to drain every day. No pain what so ever, even when removed. I had my implants 35 years and will post my journey very soon.

You are wise to remove and will not regret, no matter the outcome. Being only two years, I bet you have beautiful boobies afterwards. Try not to worry too much & keep positive thoughts. Best of luck!

My implants have been in 32 years, explant is March 22, 2016. Moonpies, please share soon! I'm very worried.

I submitted and should be posted today or tomorrow. I understand your anxiety, but you will be so happy when it is behind you. I am much smaller, but SO squishy soft and warm. Love love love them. I'm hesitant to post after pics, but know how helpful the after pics are. I'm happy, even though one of my girls is being stubborn. I'll post after, once my initial post shows up.
