My explant op is scheduled for this Sunday and I can't wait. I've had problems with the left implant ever since I had them done 4 years ago. The left implant was replaced 2 years ago because of capsular contracture but I've experienced discomfort and pain, at times, ever since.

I've been thinking about having the procedure for quite awhile now and when I went to see my surgeon he told me the left implant had flipped. That sealed the fate of the implants! He flipped it back over and the sensation was one I never want to have again. I felt so nauseated!

I am a little apprehensive about how my boobs will look implant free but I know that I am making the right decision. This site has made me believe this as much as any pain I've had and am grateful to have found it and to have read others' stories.

I will let you know how it goes!!

You have given me courage to face the same thing. Thank you for being here. For me, choosing elective surgery was for personal reasons and now to undo what I did back 23 yrs, is a mind blow. I need the explant surgery too. I am facing the same thing. I have a CC with possible hematoma right side, baker IV. I pray for your fast recovery. You be healthy post op! Your are in my prayers, kbc, Please keep me in touch.Kathleen

I am going to try and add my before photos now. x

Well it's all over now and I am feeling so happy with the outcome. Obviously my boobs look a little different to before! But I'm ecstatic it's all done. I had hardly any pain and my surgeon said that he left the capsules in as my scar tissue was very thin. Luckily I have enough breast tissue left and hopefully once they 'fluff up' I will feel even better.

I'd like to say to anyone contemplating explant, in my case it's definitely been worth it. If you're unhappy or experiencing any pain, discomfort, ruptures etc etc explant is the way forward.

I will add some 'after' photos soon.

Thank you to everyone for your support xx
