How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Well it's been a week and a half and I've got my...
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

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
