Prolactin now normal!

The implant removal surgery has corrected the high prolactin issue. Such a relief, not only do I feel better physically but mentally too. Living life with regret everyday due to hard ugly implants is sad, then to find out they may have caused infertility is heart breaking too. My husband and I are going to give IUI a try then IVF. Let's hope we are able to create our own family if not we will try to adopt.
It has been two months since my implants were removed and I feel very much used to my new proportions. I used to be a small 32B then with implant surgery I hoped to be a 32C. I ended up a very out of proportion 30DD/32D. Now without the implants I am 30C. I think in the past I wore the wrong band width so my breasts felt smaller. I am also working on my posture so my chest is more forward and shoulders back,

Sorry for the delay in updating. Now my life is getting back to normal I forget to post. It is so nice to be able to shower again and since it has been over 3 weeks since surgery I can now move my arms normally (above my head if I want to, no restrictions). I still need to avoid lifting anything heavy, until 2 more weeks time. The pain is pretty minimal now, although my breast tissue is still recovering and the incision scars. I have to be careful with what bra I wear not to squash the incisions. I have been using a scar removal and body firming lotion day and night. It feels nice to massage them and to feel movement. Having the hard implants for 10 years was a big mistake. Looking forward to working out and yoga and taking better care of myself from now onwards. I have enjoyed going shopping and buying clothes that fit my new streamlined physique and not feeling limited by an artificial shape. I hope anyone considering having implant removal gains more confidence to do it by reading my review. It is scary more from a psychological prospective to go from large breasts back to small, for me I was highly motivated to correct infertility and I was prepared to accept however they ended up looking and I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised. I hope everyone else who goes through this has a nice surprise too. Good luck!

11 Days Post Op and vast improvements.

I was given clearance to sleep in bed without wearing a sports bra if I wanted to. I have been able to do this for two nights and it is very liberating. I love feeling comfortable in my own body again. The pain is pretty much minimal now and I am still being careful with arm movements and not lifting anything heavy. But already my breasts feel better than they did with implants. I wish I had realized this surgery was possible before and that it was covered 90% by my health insurance. I had my post operative follow-up with Dr Mohebali two days ago and he was happy with my healing progress. It is reassuring to know everything is looking good. Plus I found out he removed a ball of scar tissue from behind my left nipple. This wasn't connected to the capsule. I believe it was this hard scar that was irritating my nipple internally causing the hyper prolactin and the galactorrhoea. I am excited to get a blood test when I am healed up to find out if the prolactin blood level has reduced down to a normal level, I have already noticed an improvement in my sex drive since removing the drains and the sports bra. I can only envisage this will continue as I heal and am better able to feel a closer connection to my husband without a hard implants creating a barrier! I feel very optimistic about trying for a baby again and enjoying life and the special time I do share with my husband.

Dr Mohebali was very kind and efficient. He put me at my ease and his verbal eloquence gave me confidence in his abilities. He is reviewed highly and his staff were all very nice too.
