Life after explant - Jacksonville, FL

Im so sorry your not loving the results. I think your boobs look bloody fantastic!! Xx

I think you have great volume and you dont need implants at all. You might benefit from alift. I had a lift and have very small breast. Your would look great with a lift.

Yay! You finally updated! I have missed seeing your boobs around here! They still look big and beautiful (and big!)! LOL :D I see they have def tightened up and the concavities have lessened! W has nothing to complain about, for sure. About the 'sag,' don't worry- you're not alone, we're in that club together! You look fabulous! P.S. Spring is here, so you can probably get flannel shirts at super low prices- stock up girl! ;)

Hey Jessica, it's nice to see your update here! I finally made it over to the explant side too, you are one of the people that helped solidify my decision. (Formerly known as HateMyImplantsInOR)

i wish i had your fullness! you look awesome! :)

Oh no! Just what you don't need, poor you. Hope all settles down with teeth and boobies. Have a Merry Christmas missus. X

Merry Christmas to all the fine women on here. It's wonderful to know a community of women going through the same issues. Thanks for all of your love and support.! If you are considering explant surgery, my advice is to go for it. Life is so much better implant-free. Hi Jessica1956...you really made me happy meeting, and talking with you! Hope all is well. Love debraann

Aaahh, you poor thing! I've had dental surgery in the past and I know it's no fun! Take care of yourself :)

Sorry the pics are upside down everyone. I have asked realself to fix it. And please pardon all my spelling errors lol stupid cell phones

Ladies of all sizes I had mine removed 4 weeks ago, I had extensive scaring (medically necessary removal) insurance psid for gbzt part k paid for the lift. My problem wad beyond the unfortunate capsulectomies. I spent 2 nights in the hospital. Two sets of implants over a 27 yr period, ruptured and capsular contracture both sides both times. No more for me, I am very happy I had to have to have a lift both times And that is well worth it.. Of course there was Too much skin and it was necessary to look nice It is wonderful, pretty. I am free and thin and younger looking and I Iove it....don't be afraid, you'll be sk happy it is over with. It is unnaturally lets face it....it worked for a while though but no more for this girl and that decision is made with the new imants ( if i wanted them) would be free But no way I am free of if all...thanks doc herrmann in co

I am 44 years old. I got implants when I was 24-after I graduated college, and became a stripper ( long story). I was an "A.".--basically flat as a board. The Dr. in Utah- -Dr. Harline ( boo hiss) made them too big --a D+ (under the muscle-under the arm pit). Talk about pain..felt like I was run over by a truck. After my third deflation, and second repair( the same breast every time--right side.), I decided to have them both removed. Obviously God didn't want my body to have implants. Dr Abrams in Beverly Hills performed the last two repairs, so I had him do the surgery. He had done an immaculate job on the first replacement, so I considered him an artist. Not a scar was to be found. (He went in through the nipple for all procedures). I had them removed in August of this year. It is now December. I have mixed feelings. On the negative side, my nipples are misshapen. The aereola's are much bigger, and assymetrical. Before the explantation, both nipples were small, pointy and pink. I am a model who does art [RS bleep] for a living. I have to use Deramblend , and lipsticknow to hide the irregular lines around the areolas , and give them some color( that they used to have naturally). There are wrinkles around my breasts when I move in most positions, so I am stuck doing only a few flattering poses. I swear it looks like he put someone else's nipples back on instead of mine. There is lumpy scarring on the areola too. Work has slowed down considerably. The photographers I work with say they prefer them natural, but I don't like the result overall. I hate the aereolas' appearance, and the breast wrinkles. One thing I miss the most about implants is that I used to get tons of attention from men. I used to literally stop traffic. Now I feel invisible, and old. I had come to take all the compliments, staes, and appreciative looks for granted...thinking it was just me overall being appreciated for my beauty. It's sad, that the world id that shallow, but I guess the "wow" factor is gone from my look now. It really depresses me, how even at 7 Eleven, no eye contact is made between me, and the cashier. When I go on a walk,people no longer even look up and smile, or say hi. This is a really hard pill to swallow after 20 years of attention. Okay on the good side, the shape of the breasts are pretty. There is no volume on top, but a surprisingly nice curve at the bottom--actual volume in my natural breasts! I was always a late bloomer, so they must have finally grown up while under the cover of the implants! Another onus is how sensitive, and soft they feel. With implants, I had no sensation in my nipples, now it's like a playground. With implants they were hard. Now they feel soft to the touch, and light. I call them my "creme puffs." After trying on every "B" cup bra I could find, I decided to try on a "C" cup, just out of desperation. Lo and behold, the "C" cups fit! I had gone from an almost "A" to a natural "c", which is what I wanted all along. They really don't look like a "C" cup, especially nude, but every bra I fit is a "C." now. God works in mysterious ways. I also feel lighter, and thinner in clothes. I can wear smaller sizes on top now, and wear skimpy tops without looking , well like a stripper. Being active is easier too. With a push up bra, I can actually make cleavage! Dr. Abrams gave me a mini lift too, so they are not as saggy as I had expected. Alas, I normally still don't wear bras, unless i NEED to. bras have always felt like a straight jacket to me. Plus, I like looking thin, and the padding, and push up stuff, just adds pounds in my eyes. But it's great to know there is cleavage there if I need it, and if I really want to turn heads again, that might do the trick. Now I am obsessed with fixing my "smile lines." All the stress in my life has finally taken its toll, and my age is showing. I HATE it. Help! My face is falling! Dr Ruben Abrams, did give me a great price ( especially for LA) for the explants, and mini lift he only charged me $2,500, plus $1,000 for the anesthesiologist! So, now I think I will consider talking to DR. Abrams about what he can do for my face( without it looking plastic). To be honest, I never went for my follow up appointment. I was just being lazy. There wasn't much pain after. but it took a few monthf for them to not look like a Frankenstein hack job. I guess I was bitter. I plan to set up an appointment, and ask him ,"What happened to my nipples/areolas?" and see what he has to say about their misshapen appearance. If I trust him enough again, and he gives me another great deal, I will try to round up the money for some face work..nothing too drastic. God bless you all, and best of luck!.

Thanks for the review! I am also considering explanting soon. I've had 2 bouts of CC and am over it. Good luck with your recovery. It helps to read your review!
