3 months post explant update & gorgeous AAA bras do exist!

So I'm over 3 months from my explant operation now. I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by. I am pleased to report I remain exastic over my results. Any down days have NEVER been because of my breasts. I was a 36AA pre implants, 36B with implants and now 38AAA and couldn't care less I take a smaller bra size. Yes, AAA bras do exist! I've added a photo of my recent online splurge to prove it and they're not boring white or black cotton either! My breasts have firmed up quite a bit now and don't wibble-wobble like they did - seems a bit odd to say that given my small size but they have! I've not had any difficulties over the warmer summer months in finding clothes to wear nor ever felt self conscious when I walk out the front door, quite the opposite. I'm not looking forward to the colder months because I don't want to cover myself up!?! I've not experienced any negativity from anyone nor do I care if that day ever comes! My posture is the best it's ever been in years because the false weight has gone. My neck and shoulders don't ache anymore but feel relaxed. Strenuous exercise is more of a pleasure (!?!) now because I physically feel 10 years younger and can take in deep lung filled breaths once again. I've absolutely nothing negative to say about living my life today without implants...nope, I can't think of anything!! ;)

Knee swelling

This entry is really as a diary note to myself but I'm also curious if anyone else has experienced the same issue. Since approximately August last year my right knee has swelled up either the day before, on the day or day after my period. It just spontaneously began, I woke up with a swollen knee one morning. Before my explant I would have the painful swelling for about 2 weeks. Since my explant I have to confess this has still occurred but the swelling has reduced significantly in the length of its stay to just a few days nor caused me significant problems like it was doing. I started my monthly yesterday and no swelling! Hope I'm not celebrating too soon!?! And now to see what happens next month...

Bra's!

So here are a small selection of the bras I wear. The main brand that is working for me is Bonds. They are so lovely and soft to wear and wash well too. I'm broad chested but the size 10 fits me perfectly. I also wear bikini tops so have added a picture of one I bought very cheaply off eBay. It's lightly padded and actually a really really good quality, well made top for under £5. The black bra is infact my mums which I've stolen just because it fits...and is a 36b!?! Not quite me but it's so comfortable and lightly padded. It's from UK M & S

Dr Al- Mufti is based at Charing Cross NHS hospital - West London. I believe he also works in the private sector if you live outside the catchment area for this hospital. I would describe Dr Al-Mufti as a caring man who certainly knows what he is doing. He's a highly respected surgeon. I'm ecstatic with my results. He is more than willing to answer any questions. In fact he thrives on being asked questions! In my journal I have complained about some aspects of aftercare. This was in relation to lymph node removal and not breast surgery. The aftercare I received in relation to my breast surgery was perfect and faultless and I highly recommend Dr Al Mufti. He gets a 10/10 from me!
