4 months on

It's been a while since I posted on here and I noticed I had a few comments so I'm back to update. I feel my breasts have really settled now and I'm still happy with the overall result. I got myself measured for new bras and I'm bigger than I thought. I measure at a UK 32C. Finding bras that work and look good is the hard bit though. I have a lot more breast tissue in the bottom of the breast and hardly anything in the top section. Balcony style bras look ridiculous on me and gape everywhere, full cup bras are a no-no as I don't have enough volume in the top area and they stand away. I've found that basic Tshirt bras give the best look so I'm sticking with them! I'm not buying padded, just moulded cup but have bought one gel bra for when I want the big cleavage! I'm still breadtfeeding my twins. They turned 3 last month and still are showing no weaning signs. I can honestly say now that I don't think the surgery affected feeding at all. I still have some loose skin around my nipple area but I think that it's still from breadtfeeding. Whether it will contract back when I stop I don't know but it's not something that hugely bothers me and not something I would have corrective surgery for. I've posted a few more photos taken a couple of days ago.

Three weeks on...

So I'm now at 3 weeks post explant and nothing major has happened. I'm still changing the tapes every 4 days and in the compression bra for about 23 hours a day. Breastfeeding is still going well. I've taken a few more photos but can't see a huge difference at this stage. If anything I think I look smaller. On my left breast there is still a very obvious indent which I think you can see on the photo plus the shape looks a little different at the bottom. I'm feeling more confident about how I look now. I'm also looking forward to getting out of compression bras in the next few weeks to wear something a little prettier occasionally as at the moment I feel limited on some of my tops as the very industrial bra straps are too obvious so I'm having to be careful what I wear!

Gah :(

Just looking at my photos now and I look way too skinny and saggy :( I struggle to put weight on and have lost quite a bit recently with worry about op and also the winter vomiting bug. I'm 5'9" and weigh 125lbs... I know it's underweight and I'm trying to bulk up a bit. Maybe this is part of the reason I don't have any fullness in the upper part of my breast? Not liking how I look right now :(

Mr Richards is a very accomplished surgeon and has undertaken many explantations of PIP implants. Both him and his supporting staff were fantastic throughout the whole process. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else as much. I would highly recommend him. He also removes PIP implants at a subsidized rate. My previous clinic who inserted them wanted to charge a lot more for removal.
