WORTH IT$3,000

My journey has been long & emotional. I started out with implants when I was 21 & got what I did not want. I asked for a big C, small D & came out with over an F!! I didn't want to be as lopsided (almost a full cup difference on each side) but came out just as lopsided. I've had 5 revision surgeries from 2006-2013. While they are finally similar in size, they are totally different. One is rock hard and the other I can feel the entire implant and valve. I've had a significant amount of health issues over the last 2-3 years that no doctor can diagnose. I had a consult last week to explant. Love the surgeon & having surgery tomorrow!!

"can feel the entire implant and valve" -- exactly!! It's hard to live with. Never feels 'comfortable'.

I know exactly what you mean! My original surgeon is s horrible man that did many bogged surgeries so that people would keep coming back for more surgeries.

You're welcome! Happy it can help you. That's what I'm praying for. I want to be able to help others making this decision. Fear of the unknown is not fun.

Day of treatment

Explant ?

SlimJim08July 20, 2016

Had my explant done this morning! Still out of it and tired from surgery. However, all went well. I go in the morning for a quick check up. I haven't looked at them at all. They're all bandaged up and I'm too tired to even mess with them. Maybe tomorrow!!

All went well! Removed bandages & reapplied. Drains stay in for a few more days. He said I can start wearing a sports bra tomorrow or Saturday. But, for now, he wants me in this ace bandage wrap. They were pretty smooched down and sad looking. But, I expected that. I'm actually quite happy with how they look, considering how big and overfilled they were. I had 350 implants but one was overfilled to 500!! & the other was 420ish. The 500 was the size of a softball! He removed all the capsular contracture stuff and said all is looking well so far!
