5 Year Update - I had my implants removed due to health concerns

It has been a long time since I've been on here but I feel this 5 year update is necessary. I recently made the difficult decision to remove my implants and had the explant performed about 2 weeks ago. I began having unexplained health issues a couple of years after the surgery (joint pain, bloating, acne, heart palpitations, vertigo, sensitivity to light and noise, difficulty concentrating, tossing and turning at night, and increased anxiety). I tried to clean up my diet, change my exercise habits and also saw countless doctors but on paper everything always seemed to be the picture of health. Intuitively I knew something just wasn't right. It took a lot of research and experimentation but I was finally introduced to breast implant illness and couldn't ignore the evidence any more. I always loved my implants and am devastated that this was the outcome, but I had to make my health a priority. The process was costly and painful and now I'm right back where I started but with huge scars on my chest, but at least I got to enjoy having big boobs for a few years. ;-)

Oh dear sorry to hear that. Hope you get better soon. Did you not suffer from any of the conditions mentioned pre breast implants? Please do up date . X

Thank you and I'm feeling better everyday! The only issues I had before implants were minor anxiety and an occasional break out, but these got worse after the surgery. Everything else happened after. There was never a problem with the implants themselves, they always were soft, natural looking, and comfortable, so it took me ages to put the link together.

I’m sorry you had this experience and made the best decision I soon for you. I truly hope you start to feel better. I am by no means trying to down play “implant illness” but there is no actual scientific evidence that it actual exists. It could be other unrelated health issues coming to the surface. Your symptoms sound a lot like a combination of anxiety and pcos. When your implants were removed was any leak detected ? God bless and I really hope you start to feel
Better soon boobs or no boobs lol xo

I'm 7 weeks in & I feel like I've completely recovered. Everything is incredibly soft and natural feeling, I actually have trouble looking at my 'before' pictures & believing that was me just a few short weeks ago. THIS version of me feels so much more genuine, I'm so happy with them.
I can jog, exercise & lift things just as I was able to before. There is no pain, no soreness & the tightness has completely gone away.

You look great. I appreciate your detailed description of recovery. I am also worrying about everything even stuff that only happens very rarely. It nice to know what happened to others so I hopefully won't freak out as much if/when it happens to me.

Iam about at the 7 week mark myself, and your girls look wonderful!!! Perfect for your body. I had 450cc HP Mentor round smooth, I was worried at first about the way they were settling but I am very happy with them now. They look very similar to you're, I haven't posted pics in a couple of weeks but it is amazing how much they have changed in the last couple of weeks. Thanks for posting, very helpful!!!!

I'm feeling really good, everything is settling and softening very nicely. In the one month photos you can see the right side has dropped significantly more than the left. When I look at them in the mirror I don't notice it as much as when I scan through the photos.

Thank you for this review - I have just come out of surgery and I hope my recovery is as good as yours! I've had 330cc HP unders. What's you height weight etc? I hope my new boobs look like yours - they really suit you and look really natural.
