Feeling Like Me Again - Manchester, UK

WORTH IT$4,100
Well it's been a week and a half and I've got my post-op appointment today. I can honestly say having the explant was one of the best decisions that I have made. I have had very little discomfort, although the stitches are starting to itch where they are healing, and hardly any pain at all. I think I have been very lucky and will not be messing around with my body in the future. This has been a very valuable, if expensive, lesson!

I also think that having only had the original implants for four years helped with the sagging etc and I know I still had quite a bit of breast tissue. My nurse also told me that over the next few months my boobs would 'right themselves' and change their shape and appearance as they continue to settle back down. I think this is the thing that we need to remember - what you see after your op is not necessarily how your boobs will be. It can be a shock for some people after living with implants for so long, so remembering this will help.

I will upload photos post-op now.

Good luck to those who are having their op soon, you won't regret it! xx

Thanks for your update Elle - you look brilliant! Yes, I'm also trying to remember that how they look post op is not how they'll stay, and they will hopefully improve as they settle down.

Thanks for posting (((((HUGS))))) [RS bleep]
Hi! Your after removal results are fab!!! You've got a great shape :) Did you have a lift at some point in the past? And also, what cc implants did you have? (overs or unders?) Thanks in advance!
Thank you!! My implants were 230g and were overs. The left one cc'd within the first year so I had it replaced but still had problems with the new implant. Only had them done originally 4 years ago so that may have helped the end result! I was a C cup before the op and only wanted an uplift; my surgeon told me he couldn't do an uplift without putting in implants. Unfortunately circumstances at the time meant I was limited in finding an alternative surgeon so went with it. An expensive lesson I think!! :-) x
wow u look really well, you have a lovely shape, much better than with the implants. take it easy!!!
did your doc remove the cc with the explant surgery?? Im just soo curious.
also your REAL breasts look AMAZING!!!!!!
He took out the implant only, he told me that the capsule scar tissue was so thin it wouldn't pose any future problem.
Thank you so much!! :-)
You look amazing. I want mine out!! Can't afford it. :(
Thank you. It took me ages to save up, it cost me as much to explant as it did to implant. Not a cheap option by any means but so worth it when I finally had it done.

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

Well just 1 day to go and I've got mixed feelings - excited to finally be pain-free and au naturale again but also nervous of any complications etc. Myself and my partner will be away for a few days so I won't be checking back in until Weds or Thur but I will defo let you know how it goes then.

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