52 yo (21 yo implants under muscle). Explant complete! Freedom FOREVER!!

Hello lovies... hard to believe it's been 6 months since the aliens were removed! Honestly, haven't missed them at all! The healing went without a hitch and the random weird "zapping" sensations subsided around the end of month two. Dr said most likely nerves healing. Since I see these every day I don't see a dramatic change but think they fluffed up a little. I am okay with how they look and feel... so nice to put on clothing and not be 2 giant boobs with a woman behind them. Feel it's just "me" walking into a room. My plan of wearing not so snug clothing 1 mo pre and 1 mo post worked beautifully in making this a quiet transition. Other than close friends knowing.. no one noticed or said anything (which is what I wanted). Now to address the weight issue. I had (perhaps subconsciously) carried an extra 10-15 lbs just so I didn't look to freakishly big. So, up until last week I still hung on to that extra weight because I was afraid to lose the boobies I was left with. Not any more! I chose health over tatas! I have lost 5 pounds and will keep losing! I am embracing what God gives me. I will keep you posted and we shall see. Sorry I have been off the radar but life has been busy. Thought it's good to show 6 mo out. I am so proud of each of you who have decided to explant. Just remember, breasts do NOT define you. You are a beautiful YOU - embrace it! Thanks also to all my RS buddies who truly helped me through this journey, don't think I could have made it without you!!! OX Hugs!

Hello lovely ladies! Sorry I have been MIA since Thanksgiving but was on vacation. Hope everyone had a blessed holiday!!!

I wanted to post my pics at 4 weeks post op. I am feeling great and am getting reacquainted with "me" again. I love being real and like how I look in a bra and shirt but still trying to embrace looking at my new Tata's. I suppose since I have been so huge for 21 years I just dont know what my real boobs would have looked like (w/o implants) .. or should look like at 52.

I am now in a mission to lose 15 pounds - weight that I think I subconsciously carried to make my implant look not as fake. It's funny, when I told a select group of people I was having an explant they were like "their not real?". They were pretty (but too big in my brain). I have been hesitant to lose this weight because it will most likely affect my breast size and afraid the "fluff fairy" will pass me by. I am okay with that I suppose. I know I will feel healthier being at my preferred weight.

I don't notice much difference - still think my left breast is still too "slopy.

Also, question... for those of you that have explanted, did you get random tweeks or sensations in your breasts? More on my left side... I am almost 6 weeks out. Just curious. Thanks again all you beautiful and strong RS women out there! Thanks again for supporting me along my journey!! I will post pics again at my 3 month mark. HUGS & mucho love!!!

Ladies I feel like a million bucks! I love my new "me" and almost feels surreal! I went for a professional bra fitting at Bosum Buddies and was measured as a 36C!! What? I was B cup before implants and D cup with. But I am sure with age, menopause and a little weight gain gave me a little more breast tissue. I found two bras at the Bosum Buddies and a couple more at Kohl's. Very happy! Feel great and what is so awesome is that no one noticed and If they did, nothing was said. Yay! Sutures out... All healing great! Using EMU oil on my incision and Palmers Cocoa Firming cream daily! OX
