Explant with Full Capsulectomy Non-replacement. Scared to Death of End Result - Leeds, GB

Thanks for sharing. I'm having mine out July 2nd and am a little nervous about the outcome. But hearing how after 6 mths you're feeling better helps me. I keep hearing and seeing pics of nipple cave-in or severe distortion of breast which makes me worried about mine. I have ruptured silicone implants, left one hard & painful, so I worry about how hard it will be for PS to get it out w/out complications.

Thanks for the update! I had mine done on July 1st and have since discovered the brilliance of padding/padded bras (currently wearing padding over one sports bra and under another!). My PS also sent some breast tissue to the pathologist that came out (probably not the technical term) with my capsule, hoping it's nothing, but this breast is more sore than the other - similar to your experience, it sounds. Glad it is going well for you 6 months on!

I am 10 days post op... Had implants removed & capsules & lift! Felt really good after 5 days & did too much! Back resting.( if u put make-up on, family thinks your good!) so don't! Dr told me full 2 weeks of rest is very important so I'm back to watching made for TV movies ! (T-vo ) I had nice C boobies before 3 kids & 2 sets of implants& lifts. I'm 45 and so happy to be free of them!!! I wish I did it so long ago, we live & learn. They r small Bs. But I love em. Reading posts helped! I can zip up clothes & my teens say I look thinner & younger! So happy. They r tingling & I have some weird sharp pains, but normal healing for nerves.

Thanks for posting your review! Your breasts look great without implants! I would be more than happy to end up with a result like yours! Can I ask what your surgeons name was? Is it George Syprou? I live in Liverpool so interested to look into who did your explant x

Your boobies look beautiful. Just noticed its been a couple of years. How are you doing? It's been a month now for me.

You look really good and sound as if your feeling good to, 2 weeks today for me , can't wait

I know what you mean about the bra fitting. The exact same thing happened to me. She brought in a 34D and a 32DD and she thought that the 32 fit me better than the 34, but I thought the opposite. But besides all that, I was shocked that they both sort of fit! I think it's because I have more side boobage now. I have more width and less projection. And I think you had a great result! Happy healing.

Nervous In 1976 at age 29 after having 2 babies, I was a 34A and had several cysts removed so had 225cc silicone implants put in. The silicone at that time was the consistancy of honey. My PS said they would last forever and be in my coffin long after I was gone, so why not go for it? I was very happy with the results but as the years went on they got harder ending up stage 3 CC but I accepted it. At age 52 I got two more cysts under my right nipple that the ultrasound said was a tumor and had surgery to remove it, that made the right breast scar tissue get harder to a stage 4 CC. Again I just accepted and went on not wanting surgery. Finally after 37 yrs the left breast is leaking silicone into my tissue so I'm having both explanted in two weeks. The PS wants me to have replacements saying they will last 10-20 yrs and since the modern silicone is like gel, they will only leak into the CC and not hurt me........well back in the day the PS said they would last forever so do I take a chance again? Plus as our bodies age and the CC gets harder, I will look stupid. Right now I could pull it off even though I'm 66 because I weight 110 lbs and work out. But my family lives to be in their late 90's so that means when I'm about 80 I'd have to have the new ones explanted?? I don't think so, would I have the money to explant then and would my heart etc take such a surgery?? I've been afraid of the results after so many years having implants but am so greatful to read all your experiences to give me courage to stick to my decision, heal and love my original natural body. Thank you so much :)

I think you look beautiful.

Hi! First of all congrats!!! I know this is tough.... I went through a really hard first few weeks. I cried a lot, an constantly question why I didn't re implant. Fast forward almost two months later, my breast have made improvements. I went from an caved A to a small B. my breast are not perfect but improve daily. Stay strong! Your pics look great, it can only get better. It takes a while to get used to our new small size. :) and to be honest, natural breast are so much more sexier. ;)

your boobs look awesome! so perky and lovely.

Hi mcal42, how are you feeling? It was me who had the same surgeon as you. And may I say your boobies are looking amazing now?! Brilliant result! X
