Want These Toxic Stupid Things out of my Body - Los Angeles, CA

October 3, 2016

Yay! I definitely see the improvements! It is great that the fat transfer volume is not disappearing! I'm so happy for you! How are your donor sites doing? I am continuing to use the noogleberry and my breast tissue is moving much more normally now. And I think (?) I am noticing a slight increase in size. It is hard to be sure since my breast tissue is so soft, when I try to use a tape measure I'm not sure if I am pulling in tighter or looser than I did the last time--I'm trying to be optimistic and feel like things are improving:-)

Hanks allemong!! So happy that you are improving too! Hmm, maybe I should give the noggleberry a try before my next transfer?? The cups I have are too small so I would need to order bigger ones. Never did get around to using it. My donor sites are great!! That little line/ indent on the right side is fading to nothing. Crazy thing I forgot to mention is that I also lost almost 20 lbs since my explant. I believe it was the hormonal imbalance and maybe some inflammation. So in surprised I haven't noticed more volume loss in the breasts!!

October 3, 2016

20 lbs! That's a lot and you are not a big person! I have lost a few lbs. since mine also and I am trying to put on some weight to help with gaining breast tissue. Unfortunately I have to be gluten and dairy free and so it can be tough to gain weight.

Since tissue expansion systems are used sometimes to get ready for fat transfers I wouldn't think that it would hurt but you should probably check with your fat transfer doctor in case he isn't in favor.

Hey, glad to see things are improving for you! I was going to suggest the noogleberry too to help with the adhesion, Id be interested to know if your dr says it's ok to use post fat transfer. Best wishes :)

Hey Allemong! I am only three weeks post explant and have very little breast tissue. Before considering an FT I was going to look into the noogleberry. Did your plastic surgeon recommend it? I asked my explant surgeon, Dr Feng, about it and she has heard of the brava system (which is now out of business) but not the Noogleberry. Do you know if this system works better for some & not others? (age, whether you breastfed, etc). Thank you!!

Hey Beyouty! I totally get and understand the need to get out there and live life and not focus so much on the boobs!! I'm also glad to hear you are doing so much better --exercising and energy levels being up is just awesome news! And I am so grateful and impressed you open yourselves up and show all these pics. I'm sure you felt super vulnerable but it was
extremely selfless and other oriented on your part. You helped me and countless others in making this really tough decision. I think your boobs look great and I just want to thank you again for all your help. Huge cyber hugs!
Btw, I did go through with my surgery with Dr Feng on 9/9. All went well and slowly but surely I am feeling better at post op week three. Going back to work tomorrow! I have a post on here and plan to update today so you can see my progress. They are
little and far from perfect but at this point I'm happy to have improved health and feel natural again!!

Hi beYOUty! I've been thinking about you! So many "bosom buddies" have been updating lately and everyone is so happy and doing so well-Yay! You look Fantastic! Your scars are fading and your skin is retracting so nicely. I know my incision scars were very pink (and a bit raised) for a long time and it was only recently that I noticed a big change in them. It's like overnight they were gone! I am post-op two months longer than you, so just a bit more time and you won't even notice them! Very happy you retained your fullness after your fat transfer (especially after losing weight--if I lose weight the first thing to go is what little breast tissue I do have!). I really don't think you need another fat transfer...you look Awesome right now...although I do hope that your adhesion issue gets resolved, I know that is probably very bothersome to you. Well just wanted to tell you that you look stunning and super happy you are feeling good too!!! Thanks for updating! xoxo

October 3, 2016

Thanks so much Julie!! I definitely agree that a second transfer isn't "necessary" but honestly, the procedure was so simple and the recovery was so quick the last time, even with all the extensive scar tissue release, and being put under! So since o don't need to be under for the next procedure, and there won't be any scar tissue release (far less painful) I figure that I've come this far and been through so much physically and emotionally... Why not treat myself to a little extra now ;) But I do appreciate you telling me I don't need it! That's very sweet of you to say :) And yeah... Crazy about the weight loss!! My boobs were always the first to go too! But my inner thighs were the last, and now all that fat from them is in my boobs so I guess they're sticking around like my thighs did :D woo hoo! ;)

Yes, go for it! Whatever you do now will just be an added bonus to your beautiful body! I might have to think about a fat transfer because I know my thigh fat is pretty hardy stuff...haha! Xoxo

October 4, 2016

So good to finally hear from you BeYOUty!! I've been thinking about! I think you look beautiful!!! As far as the adhesion, you may want to consider seeing a myofascial release specialist. I just don't think we can do to ourselves what they can do. She can get under my breast tissue and pull it from the muscle....and stretches my arm and neck muscles away from my chest. Honestly...after just TWO sessions, my right nipple was not sunken anymore! The pics I posted are without erect nipples. Thanks to YOU for telling me about this!! I cannot tell you how happy I am. She said she could feel my breast tissue still had not dropped completely and I still had healing to do....and I am 8 months out!! I am NOT patient either...thanks to not having enough time, being a little scared, and not knowing where to go, is really the only reason I had not done a fat transfer. I still look deformed when I flex, but it is getting slightly better and I'm hoping that will continue to improve over time...but if it doesn't, I'm at peace with it because I had the flex deformity with the implants and hated it....They are my war wounds. I'm so happy that we are both healthy and free!! xoxoxoxo

October 4, 2016

Thanks byggsy! I actually do see a myofascial specialist... Twice a week! Sometimes for two hour sessions. Unfortunately, my nipple isn't just sunken, nor is the tissue just stuck down to my muscle. There is actually a very thick hard band of scar tissue, like a cord that runs form my areola to a muscle under my armpit. It's called an adhesion and it's extremely hard to get rid of. It almost always grown back with surgical removal (fisher removed it during my implant exchange, and Feng removed it during my explant, and dr K removed what he could of it during my scar revision.) it just keeps coming back, and the myofascial release is helping it, but I don't think it will ever be gone completely. I'm not going to stop trying through! (Although I will not attempt any more surgical excisions, of course!) The Fat transfer helped at least camouflage it a little bit, so I'm hoping after the next one, or two, it will be hardly noticeable, as it was with implants. This is really the one very big let down for me... I really thought that explant was the answer to get of this problem once and for all :(

UPDATED FROM BeYOUty

Pics I've been too ashamed of to share. And today!

BeYOUtyOctober 3, 2016

Hi ladies! I'm hardly ever on here anymore... I've just been trying to keep myself busy and not think about my boobs! :) I'm so sorry to those I haven't responded to. Your love and support is much appreciated and I promise to get back to all of you eventually! Here are some pics that I've been pretty ashamed of and didn't have the courage to post. Try not to throw up in your mouth! Ha! And the ones at the bottom I took today. I haven't noticed s lot of volume loss since the first month. I'm hoping things stay his way. I'm looking forward to my second procedure but I'm not sure if I should wait or not. Looking at bugsbunny' pics are making me think that I should have waited before having my first FT! She looks amazing and time alone healed her! But patience has never been a virtue of mine! I'm pretty happy with the way things are looking but I do get frustrated with my left nipple which is still sinking in and being pulled to the left. I also go back and forth between feeling grateful for dr Feng and her muscle repair, and wishing that I didn't put the big scars on my body. I feel like they are the biggest reason I have symmetry problems. I guess no point in dwelling though... It is what it is and I will never really truly know if I would look better without them. Health wise I'm doing great!!! I've been exercising (lightly) every day for the past week and no fatigue!! I've also been able to wake up much earlier in the morning! Woohoo!! Love and hugs to all xx

You're so brave and wonderful for sharing these ones luvy! :) Great for ones to see how you have been through a not as straight forward recovery, but you've made huge improvements! :) [RS bleep]

Thanks a lot for sharing those pics Beyouty.
They are necessary, they help to other women in case they have the same worries and they will realize that even we have to cross complications, step by step everything will improve and that finally to remove the implants always will be well worth!!

I just wanted to say you are so very lovely and def don't need those implants. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm pretty flat but time has helped. Also I've come to see the dainty look is also very striking. Not that any of that matters. Health and peace of mind are so imoortant. Good luck with your life.

PS loved the kiini bikini.

FAT TRANSFER Better pics and donor sites :D

BeYOUtyAugust 8, 2016

Put a little makeup on my explant scars just for fun... Much better to look at ;) and when nipples are erect you can hardly see lefty sinking in. :D I also wanted to share with you all my donor sites as some of you have been asking! First pic laying down relaxed... No issues. Second pic, you can see some irregularity. This only happens when I'm laying down and touching my toes together. (You can see a crease from my cannula incision down to my inner thigh... This wasn't there before. Not sure yet if it's permanent or if it will improve.) 3rd picture standing up... My thighs used to touch each other! The scars are small... He made them uneven on purpose so they don't look like Lipo scars. Not super thrilled with the placement but not sure it would have been possible to do any better. All things considered I'm very happy. The difference in the breasts is small (only transferred 125 cc total (something like 85cc in small side and 40 in my bigger side) but makes a big difference in my confidence as the contour deformities in my breasts are almost completely gone now :D I'm excited for my next procedure but doc and I both agree we should wait. In the meantime he is going to use a needle to try to release my areola from the lump of scar tissue it is attached to as the moment. Possibly next week already?! I will keep you all posted. Supposedly it is easy and quick and will be done under local. BTW these pics are taken in a mirror (which always looks so much better for some strange reason?) so the lefty (caving nipple) is actually on your left when looking at the pics. Love to you all! Xx

Hi, Thanks for all of your posts! I'm going to get my silicones out and Im tiny like you. I really appreciate all your work that you put into posting and pics. I think your breasts look good and natural most of all. Hugs!

August 8, 2016

Thank you so much draizle! Love to hear my posts have been helpful and are appreciated! So happy for you that you have decided to explant... It's not an easy journey but it is so worth it. I am happier and happier every day and just love being free from implants. All my best to you! Xx

You look awesome! So happy for you, smart of you for doing the fat transfers in several steps! It will retain the fat much better. Thank you for keeping us posted xx

August 8, 2016

Thank you earthlover :) how is everything with you?? PS I did not mean to post that pic of my bum! Lol. I accidentally uploaded the wrong one. Just deleted it! Bahaha

Didn't see the picture of your bum, was too focused on your fat transfer ;0. Your legs look perfect, can't see a thing except the small puncture sites from your fat removal, he did a great job! I am definitely also going to get a small fat transfer, just dealing with some health issues first and then I am good to go. From reading many fat transfer reviews I do believe that doing them in several steps is the best way to go. Good luck with your upcoming procedure in releasing the areola from the scar tissue. It will end up being all worth it! xx

August 8, 2016

Beyouty, I am so happy that things are working out for you! You look wonderful! Your donor sites look fantastic. It is good to have your feed back because some people have reported continual pain or numbness with the lipo sites and it isn't very encouraging! My explant was on March 14, 2016. I have been using a noogleberry since mid July--about 3 weeks now (at least 30 minutes twice a day, sometimes more) It hasn't done anything size wise at this point (not that I am expecting that because it takes 3 months or more to see any growth at all, from what I have read) but it definitely has helped my left breast not to have a weird adhesion of the tissue when I raise my arms. I am also doing daily massage of my breasts while I am in my near infrared light sauna each morning (the heat is suppose to be beneficial with increasing blood flow to the area). Hoping to gain a little weight to help increase and possibly even out my breast size too! Also, ever since my second set of implants were put in (15 years ago), my nipples stay erect 24/7. I always have had to wear a padded bra, even though I didn't need it with my implants, just to cover my nipples! I was hoping after the explant procedure that they would go back to normal and relax at times but so far that hasn't been the case. My Dr. thinks the massage will correct it. I am just trying to help my breasts to heal in any way that I can:-) Like you, I am content to be very small but would like my shape to be as normal as possible!

August 10, 2016

Hi Allemong! Thank you for posting about the Noogleberry. I am thinking of getting one and your comment about the adhesion pretty much convinced me! Please keep me posted on your progress!

August 10, 2016

I will! I took measurements under my breasts, at the largest part or mid breast and then around the upper part of the breast where I can see shadows of concaveness where the implants were, especially on my left side. I am hoping it will help, even if it is a small amount. I am maybe(?) an A cup on my left side but less than an A cup on my right side. I am not expecting to see measurable differences for at least 3 months, but I will try to post at monthly intervals. I don't have my own post and I don't know how to put pictures up, I am technologically challenged;-)
I definitely recommend getting the foam pads to help make the noogleberry more comfortable. Also, I am 57 years old and I'm not sure if tissue growth will happen as readily for me as it would for a younger person especially since I don't have a lot of tissue to begin with.

August 11, 2016

I just ordered the noogleberry and the foam pads! I am 48 years old...I am a B on the left and an A on the right...it's a pretty big difference so I'm hoping that it will not only help with the muscle adhesion, but maybe even me out...which would be great! I would love to have them both the same size!! My nipples are also somewhat sunken in, so it would be awesome if it helped with that as well!

August 11, 2016

Good luck and I look forward to hearing about your progress!

I haven't done it yet for MY smaller breast but some people connect the pump to only one cup and use it on the smaller side by itself to help the tissue in that breast grow more to catch up. I would like to confirm some growth before I take that step!

August 11, 2016

Thank you Allemong! I just posted an update on my profile if you want to follow...I will be posting all my updates there!
