Can't believe it has been almost one month since my explant. No regrets!! I am so happy. My boobs look much bigger in the pics. I am so glad I didn't get the lift. Don't let fear hold you back from explant. I feel so much better and everyone says they think I look better. I wore a bathing suit for the first time yesterday and felt so much more free and light. Thanks for all the support and I will kept you updated.

It been 5 days now, I'm back at work. Feel good! The pain in between my shoulder blades has disappeared yay! Which was the main reason I explanted besides the fact that my breast was getting larger but I had no idea that my natural breat would be a size larger than before BA. I bought a 34 C push up sport bra. I don't know if its swelling or what? But I'm amazed at how good my breast look. I look just like I did before but bigger. They do look bigger in the pics than they really do too. I love being smaller breasted. I was tipping a 34DD before explant.

I forgot to add that I have started massage them with vitamin E oil. I did this a couple of weeks before explant to help with stretch marks and retraction.

I must get some vitamin oil to. I should have used it before explant, but I guess better late than never, thanks

Hi and congratulations you look amazing. The picture of you in the sports bra is that with implants, before removal? also can I ask how tall you are and what you were weighing b4 and after implant removal.
February 13, 2014
hi msprincess, thank you. I bought this bra yesturday. It is a push up so it does make me look bigger. I am 5'7 135lbs.
February 13, 2014
You already bought a bra :-) I'm stuck in an ace band for about a month:( my surgery was last Friday as well.
February 14, 2014
When can you take it off? I never had one. He tape my incisions and sent me home in the bra I brought with me with no restriction. He didn't even tell me not to lift anything. Well, I am the type that don't listen to what the girl said in your doctors office. You just had surgery. Your breast will bounce make. My doctor did tell me that much. How are you feeling? Is the pain eased up any? Mine is just gone! Yay
February 15, 2014
I have a feeling they are taking a while to bounce back because I'm always pushed down by that band. I don't know how long I have to wear it I feel like I really don't need it. I have an appointment this Monday hopefully he'll tell me to take it off.
February 15, 2014
yes the pain has eased up I actually feel good enough to start working out again and lifting weights I won't do it until I'm cleared but I do feel better.

I went over the muscle. After work today, I notice a hArd place on my right breast that is really sore. Dang.maybe the capsule?? I go back to doc on Monday. Maybe I can get some answers on why my implant is brown?? Glad to hear you are feeling better. I know it's so hard not to get back to (normal) when I feel normal.
February 17, 2014
Mine was under the muscle. I wonder if that is why I have to wear the band. Hope all is well keep is updated on your follow up tomorrow.

Well that looks fabulous. I am wanting to hide the fact if I have removal only if decide to go ahead to avoid any questions from everyone as no one knows. I bet you could wear a T shirt with that bra and no one would even notice any difference. That is what I was hoping to do. I think you look amazing not just the bra thing...but i mean just as you are. I am so sure I will have no filling in my breasts as two surgeons have said I have thin skin with no fat in my breasts...they must know this from examination. If I had as much tissue as yourself I would be very happy indeed...I wouldn't wear any bra lol.

I know this is nerve racking, not knowing what it will be like after. How big is your implant? Have you notice your breast getting any bigger the last 20 years? Some of my older friends told me that their breast got bigger as the got older and mine did too. So, it's hard to believe that you are all skin. The doctors I spoke with scared me to death but I just kept logging on to this site and saw just beautiful natural breast. It kept me going forward. Get some oil and massage your skin everyday, drink lots of water before surgery (every important) take in antioxidants. You will be so glad you did. Good with your nose too! Your getting a makeover yay! When is your surgery?

...I thought my implants were 270 but when I checked my notes they are 260cc which seems to be a very small implant but I think that my boobs look big with the implants. If you check out my blog/story thing you will see my pictures. Before surgery I am very saggy with no filling at all. I have told no one about my implants and that s why I was soooooo pleased to see what a push up bra looked like on you as no one else has posted a picture with a push up bra afterwards and now I can see that perhaps if I were lucky enough I could fool people in to not knowing I have had surgery. Only 1 person knows about my implants. I have appointments soon. I don't want a lift because I think there will be nothing to lift and I don't want scars. I am going to see what the surgeon says at the consultation. I have listened to what you have said and I am now using lotion in my skin every day in preperation.

Ok, don't laugh
I got this idea from another member. This is to prevent nipple cave in. Lol my hubby thinks its hilarious! I think it's working. I feel good today not as sore. Still taking it easy. I can't begin to tell you how happy I explanted!

Just curious.. How much weight did you gain between the time of implant and explant? You have a lot of breast tissue left. I will be explanting soon and hope to have half as much as you do! I was an A cup prior to implant too.

ShantelH, I measured myself today and I believe I'm a 34b. I am 10 lbs. heavier than before implants. Also, I might be swollen from the surgery though.
February 9, 2014
My doctor gave me an ace band to wear all week. I hate it sui you recommend anything else?
February 9, 2014
What a great idea. I'm going to use that idea.... If I ever move forward with this long journey:-)....I could never hang myself that's for sure!! Hope you're doing well Winrinda.xx

Did they remove your capsules? Did the doctor go through the nipple?
February 10, 2014
No removal of capsule just the implant. Yes nipple bc that was were my scar was from implanting.
February 10, 2014
ShantelH, you are going to look great! Don't worry. You look like your in good shape with nice skin. You will be small but hey, it will feel so good to get those water bags out of you body. If you worry about the skin, start massaging your breast now with vitamin E oil. That is what I did to prevent stretch marks in my stomach when I was pregnant. And then on my boobs a couple weeks before explant. I'm fair skin with freckles and my skin doesn't do well retracting without lots if help.
February 10, 2014
You look fantastic!! Hope you are resting and feeling well! Congratulations!!! :)
