 Breast Implant Removal Tips (Pre-op, Surgery Day, and Post-op) 

Hey, thank you. I've just and a look at you're profile you are looking fantastic.. i hope I'm going to look like you after mine are explanted, and its only 12 days thats really impressive... good luck with the recovery!
I can't wait I'm super excited i can't remember what it feels like to be well... Friday is my day!

You'll feel amazing!! I promise. Are you having yours done under general anesthesia? For me, getting ungroggy from that was the worst part but I was feeling great in 24 hours. It's hard to tell from pics but your implants are large too no? Don't freak out the first week if you have loose skin. I did but it's scrunching up every single day. Tiny cute bra shopping next week for you! I'll be thinking of you Friday.

Hi, yes I'm having a general and dreading it i don't like how i feel after, i did ask if i could have a local but my surgeon disagreed..? yep i have large implants I'm a cup size 34DD I'm not sure the size on my implant. ..i was a C cup before my implants so not sure if i will go back to that size but I'm not bothered just need to get them out.
I am sure i will have a little freak out as soon as i see them and i will probably hide them away for a while until they look a bit decent. I can't wait to buy a cute lacy bra!!
did you have much pain afterwards? sorry for the Q.. could i ask what compression bra you bought? i bought a sports bra high impact would this be ok you think?
thank you in advance x

The general isn't bad. The ick you feel after is short lived. It's better than the alternative if your having capsules removed. As for pain it wasn't bad. I had crazy swelling. By day 3 It had moved to my belly and eventually absorbed. That's one thing I hadn't anticipated. I had a compression bra when I came out of surgery and I left that on for 10 days because it felt good to be wrapped tight. I could never have anticipated size anyways lol. The first bras I bought were two sports bras - and boy are they cute in a small and medium. Look for ones with thick comfy bottom bands and padded inserts. They give you a little shape with your compression. I found them at tj Max. No need to spend crazy money - especially when we might shrink in the next 6 months and need more. I bet I threw out 30+ 34DD bras the other day. I felt like I should have had some sort-of ceremony - like burning them- but I just tossed them. I can't wait to scoop some more of these cute little sports bras up. I'll probably live in them this winter.

I'm pretty sure I was a solid c cup before implants too but I'm an A now. Surprisingly they seem perkier than they would have been without the implants. Weird. I bet you're getting pumped. I got super nervous the night before and had to take a Valium. I wasn't outwardly nervous but I must have been. My blood pressure was like 155/120 when I arrived for surgery. They were like gees you are nervous.a little versed as they wheeled me back and I drifted off laughing like a goof ball. Woke up with a giant smile. Make sure you get paper plates and plastic silverware. You won't want to be washing dishes. Get all of your vacuuming and laundry done. You'll be doing a lot of sitting g around for several days enjoy it! It's nice! Lots of time to reflect on the good thing that it is to be natural - getting healthy and being free. I'm always happy to chat - OK?

I just want to say what a wonderful explant community- you ladies are great! I can't wait to be free of mine!! Thank you for all the inspiration.

Hey, i went for my pre op today and they reassured me that if they are leaking or ruptured then they would remove the capsules.. did you have your capsules removed? they said i wouldn't be able to keep them as they need to be sent away to a lab to be investigated as mine are PIP, but they did say they would take photos for me to see as i need closure on these damn things. They also said i would need my own sports bra as they will only wrap them up if needed!? so i went to M&S today and bought a few high impact sports bra's its such a relief to buy such cute bra's i cant wait to do a full shop and get measured, not that i will have much to measure as I'm sure i will also be a A or if lucky a B!! but i really don't mind.. you are so lucky to have nice little pert boobies it must feel so awesome and its only going to get better you must be so happy? i think i will burn my bra's too as i absolutely hate the huge things. I'm really looking forward to xmas without them and how exciting I can now buy a dress that fits for once.. Yay!! I've always covered them up because I've never thought they suited my frame.
I'm sure i will be nervous on Thursday night before my op and won't sleep wink, i need to leave at 6am to get to the hospital on time then my op is in the pm so a bit of a long wait apparently, but worth the wait!! I'm hoping to wake up with a big smile like you..
I am looking forward to not doing much after the op but with a 11 & 13yr old i don't think i will get much rest. oh well soon as they are back in school i may catch a nap or two...or three!!
i kept thinking for many years that I'm feeling tired through getting older but 43 is not that old right? i think its these dreaded things. they have ruined my ammune system... Have these things made you sick? maybe it's because mine are PIP..
thank you for much for all your great advise i really appreciate it..
i will keep you posted xx

Just stopping by to see how you're feeling!

Hi huni, how are you feeling? Are you on top of the world? I am

Hi, thank you, that is great news and something to look forward to for yourself after having a baby.
I will keep you posted.. not long now, I'm super excited to feel human once again.

Hi, thank you and good luck to you too.. its a big day but very exciting for us.

Hi, Good luck to you too, how exciting.. when are you having the implants out? I have to say they look great deflated. i hope to feel well above anything else my health has suffered over the years. I have wanted mine removed pretty much as soon as they were put in never felt comfortable they are too large for my frame.
i wish you a speedy recovery.

They feel better too. My other consults are not till the 2nd week of Nov. Hopefully I can get them out soon. Depending on how much time the surgeon says I should take off of work......Jan is definately a slower time

Awesome.. and thank you! I'm living my new body I feel free from pain and time wasted. My boobies are not big but I'm going to love and learn to live with them.. it feels really good! I can't believe the change in my body already. I was sleeping most of the day when I was sick. Now I go all day without sleeping!!! Yay!! Hugs to you too and best wishes xx

Hi huni, sorry for late reply! How are you feeling? Feeling better already?

Hi,I'm feeling pretty good actually. My chest feels so much lighter and I feel like I can actually breathe. I'm still feeling a little loopy from the sedation. No pain so far. They must have put pain meds in my IV.

That's a great feeling isn't it? I felt so heavy for so long and being sick it's the worst feeling in the world. I had no pain either just sore where the stitches were. It's been nearly three weeks this Friday and I'm fully healed just need to get over my nasty cold

Awww Thank you I'm feeling great! The change in my body already is so uplifting. Best wishes for Monday all will be well.. are you having your capsules removed?

No I'm not. Be decided on just explanting under local without removal of the capsule

Same here and I feel great! Best wishes

Thank you

Thank you so much. Same to you too! It's the best feeling hey? All the best for healing and future happiness xx
