What an emotional roller coaster these past few weeks have been. I've Constantly been questioning if I'm better off keeping my implants and living thru the pain, because of the unknown, and if Im mentally prepared to see the damage. I was at a family gathering last night and I was asked why I would want to do this to myself, I still have time to cancel and keep my implants because they look really good on me. Not what I needed to hear. Yes I can cancel but I choose not to I've had so many health problem since my second surgery that I truly believe that my symptoms are from my implants. This weekend I had my husband take sexy photos of me, it was the best thing I could have done, I never saw myself like this before I realized that I am a beautiful woman and not that insecure person I was before my implants. My favorite pictures where the ones that were not showing boobs. It gave me confidence to move forward with my explant. I have cried, and have givin my fake breast lots of love these past few weeks but it's time to let them go. Im have faith that everything is going to work out. I have the best support from my husband that keeps reminding me when I'm freaking out that if I'm not happy with my results I have the option of getting a lift after 6 months of healing. I'm really Hoping that I won't need a lift. I actually feel calm today, I'm focused on getting my home ready, prepping my meals have chore list for my teens, sports bras, vitamins, meds, scar cream I think I'm good just trying to stay positive. Thank you ladies for your shared stories, blessing to all of you strong women. Keep me in prayer and send your positive vibes my way as I'm having My Explant tomorrow morning :)

Good luck today. All is well, remember to give yourself time and lots of TLC. You’re making the right decision. Stay strong :)

Thank you, I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I was already home from surgery. Then I had a dream that they looked small and cute. Lol.. I will try my best to rest and be patient.

Hang in there. 6 months is a very good amount of time to wait to make any decisions. My first few weeks after explant were rollercoaster. There were times when I was sure I'd need another procedure. As time went on, I became more and more used to the new/old me. I am 8 months post op and super happy with my decision to explant and not to get another procedure. I have more energy now than I had for 10 years. Take it easy and allow yourself to not do anything while you heal. You'll feel better next week and better the next and better the next.

Wishing you all the luck!! I’m explanting and also have a donut incision with my implants. I’ve had them 2.5 years and hated every minute of it!! I’m wishing you happy healing and congrats on taking a healthier step. Lots of antioxidants and take great care of yourself. So many of us who bought into the hype.

I do not regret my decision, I feel so relieved, I peeked and I was so happy with the result (day 1) I know it will get better each day. I don't think I will need a lift. That was one of my concerns I was not sure if I should of gone with a lift since I already had one around my nipple with my implants. I'm glad I decided not to get a lift with explant. I will let them heal for a few months and see how they look then. My husband is shocked how easy it been today, recovery after last 2 BA I was out for 2 to 3 days. It wasent good. Good Luck with your explant! You won't regret it :)

You look great! Thank you for adding the photos. What size were you before BA? I think I will need a lift as I was really large with pregnancies and a D-DD pre pregnancy. I am afraid of all the extra skin I will have after, that’s the reason I got the implants. I didn’t want to be bigger. You look like yours have just healed so well and yes, will surely get better and better! I wish I had never gotten them in the first place.

Before kids I was a 34b and while nursing my breast would stretch out to 34d size. Then when I was done nursing my 3rd child I was so deflated and my oreolas were face down droppi boobs 34b. So when I had my first BA I had a crescent lift and that made my oreolas stretch out, my breast were so ugly I cried, while all my friends were showing off their pretty implants I hid mine. 2nd BA I had a donut lift and that fixed the problem but ended up with so many issues and Capsular contraction, that I knew They had to go. I was afraid I would need a lift too. But we will see it's only been 24 hours since my surgery. I'm just staying positive. So far I think I'll be ok. I hear it's best to explant and let your breast heal before lift. A lot can happen . Did you have a lift with your BA?

I had a donut lift with BA and I have done the same thing as you, hid my implants since the beginning! I think I should have just had a full lift and no implants to begin with since I didn’t like the extra skin. I don’t think I will ever like the way my breasts look with the scars and I wish I just left them alone and learned to be happy with what I had. Bc what I got instead has been much worse! I have severe lateral displacement, spider veins now, flex deformity, lots of strange things that look terrible.

Your much better off having them removed. I myself went through breast implant removal. I would rather be safe than sorry.

I can't believe how calm I was this morning. All the nurses, anesthesiologist, and staff at Kaiser were wonderful. Everything went well with my surgery I had the implants and capsules removed thru oreolas. All I wanted to do after Surgery was to lay in my comfy bed and watch a Christmas movie with my daughter next to me. So far I don't have any pain because of the meds, I coudnt help it, I just had to take a look... They don't look bad my oreolas seemed to be in a good place not to low. I'm so relived! I will post pictures in a couple days. It feels so good to breath:)
