Hi everyone so it has been 3 1/2 months and I has some issues with burning pain into my armpits and tenderness /soreness. I also feel like my breasts are lumpy. Has anyone had these feelings?
I am freaking out. My PS was dismissive about my symptoms and said explant is a very simple procedure.

The lumps could be your capsule that was left behind. If it really bothers you and money is no object you may want a consult with dr Feng in Ohio who only explants and she goes back in and robes the capsule. I didn't go to her for my explant but I know people who have had the exact same thing you are expressing and she has removed the remaining capsule. Good luck. You look great!!!

Thanks, I am planning on possibly getting an US to see what it look like in there, and then decide get capsules removed!
I am more upset at the fact that PS makes me feel like I am crazy and explant is not a big deal. After reading countless stories there are so many women with similar experiences.

I had a simple explant too and I am left with contour deformities and have been told "it is what it is"! I think there are a handful of surgeons who are progressive in the explant world and can offer us options outside of implants! Feel free to message me private if you want to chat more!!!!

Let the fluffing begin!!

Dr. Blinski and his staff were great. I think he total procedure with prep and actual removal was 30min. It was done under local and he was wonderful at explaining everything he was doing, as well as making sure that I was comfortable. The pulling was the worst part especially on my right breast, which seemed a little more difficult to come out. I was mentally prepared for Franken boobs so I was not in shock when I first took a peek. I am having some pain but completely tolerable.

Hello ladies, Here is my before explant picture. The left one is slightly lower and they are way bigger than when I got them 18 years ago. I am ready! I know it will be an emotional roller coaster but there something so exciting about knowing that these fake bags will be out of me.
