Much more comforable now! getting a little itchy...
WORTH IT
Much more comforable now! getting a little itchy and my sports bra I bought was a B cup and it seems too small right now, swelling no doubt. So I am wearing my pre explant sports bra which is more supportive on my back and sides. My left nipple is a little sunken and my right breast which had the rupture has a sort of shelf of skin a kind of fold in it but It is too early to know what they will end up like. I am almost fully mobile I just get a little tired and dont want to strain much so still relaxing for the next week or so. I had a bath last night and felt great to remove the DVT socks and have a nice wash but still keeping my breasts dry... roll on the day when i can have a full shower and wear a nice bra.

Hi Ladies,
So its 11 days since my op, I am in No pain, I was terribly itchy but no so much any more, I am in a C cup sports bra which i am not sure if that is my new bra size or am i still swollen, I was expecting an A cup so if i stay a C i will be extatic.
My left nipple is sunken in a little but it does come back out if massaged, The right breast which had the rupture has a fold in it which looks rubbish so I bought some bust cream from the baby section is Asda for mothers who loose weight after giving birth and i am massaging them twice a day with this. I am an appointment with my surgeon on Wednesday and will hopefully get some advice and fixing these little issues but overall, I am pleased, the sports bra is not flattering at all but I am pretty sure once i wear a normal bra they will look fine.
The irony is that i only ever wanted a C cup and I ended up one naturally. What a waste of time, stress, money and pain! no regrets now, I am feeling good and natural. [RS bleep]

7 weeks post op now and things are fine. My left nipple is looking much better and my scars are neat and clean. My right breast stll has a crease which is causing me to be a little insecure but I prefer my body shape and now that all swellling should have gone by now, I am a 34C or 36B which is great, I am happy with the size and dont feel small at all. I prefer them to the huge round implantants. I love feeling natural.
Got a follow up appointment in a few weeks and will discuss any corrective options for the creased breast.

Had my drains out today, It wasnt as bad as i had...
Had my drains out today, It wasnt as bad as i had expected but I had worked myself up so much before that I was shaking a crying by the time they where done, but it wasnt that bad. I was so relieved to have them out, I couldnt do much with them hanging from me. I am feeling alot better, the pain is fine, still taking my pain killers on a regular basis but thats to control it. i have had a look at my breasts and they arent looking too great right now but i dont want to focus too much on it right now, i just want to recover first. I am not regretting the removal, but I am regretting the implants all togerher, If i knew what i would have to go through for the removal, I wonder would It have still been worth it.
I dont know how I feel emtionally yet, I feel numb in that way. Onwards and upwards is the only way.

Hi Littlenik, glad to here you are feeling ok. Those photos of the ruptured pips are disgusting, I bet you are so glad to have them out of you. My surgery is this thursday coming up.
I'm sure most of us regret the implants now! I know I do, I wish I had just accepted myself the way I was - I was fine looking back on it. BUT, whats done is done and we cant change that and there is no point thinking 'what if' etc - this is what I keep telling myself. I wish you all the best with your recovery and fluffing. xx

Had my op 2 days ago, I am not in too much pain...
Had my op 2 days ago, I am not in too much pain but I have got drains coming from the wounds to drain out any fluids which i have t to keep in for a few more days. It doesnt hurt but i am quite uncomfortable, I cant get a bath until the drains are out and have to sleep on my back, plus i cant really go out with these too bags that i have to carry each side of me like shopping.
The doctor too pictures of the implants after removal. the right one was ruptured and my right breast is a little more painful as the doctor had to give it a thorough clean. I am on pain killers but I am not in terrible pain and I am generally more comfortable and less sickly than when I had the implants inserted. My mouth has a few ulcers which isnt helping but I am getting there. I havent looked at the breasts yet, I am waiting for the drains to come out before I have a look. But I will keep you posted, Thank you for your well wishes [RS bleep]

Wow, the ruptured implant is amazing. I'm glad you've made it through this. Thanks for your updates!
