WORTH IT$2,000
After one month the indent is pretty much gone, and I am extremely happy that I explanted. Actually right now my breasts are bigger than before I got implants, and I think it is because I've gained weight. I'm going to work on losing weight so I'm sure my breasts won't stay this size, but it sure makes me glad I didn't replace with smaller implants or I would feel way too big still.
It feels amazing to be natural again!! 100% worth it :)

Indent forming
Unfortunately it looks like I have an indent forming on one side. From reading other stories on here I'm guessing it may be skin adhesion or scar tissue pulling. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow and find out what he recommends, if I should star massaging or something like that. I'm not too worried, if it keeps healing weird I am reminding myself I can always have scar release surgery. And maybe it will resolve naturally, we will see. I am still so happy to be natural so it is totally worth it!

Yeah this is a small issue to have all things considered!! Any updates? What did the doc recommend?

He said that it is from the internal stitches, and that it will go away when the stitches dissolve. It looks the same right now, but I am so over the moon about being natural that I honestly don't even care if it didn't go away.

Do you mind telling me the cost for the surgery please because I am thinking having done for myself soon.

It was $1800 plus a $250 anaesthesia fee (the doctor had his own surgery center so it was cheaper). I was quoted around $4000 from a doctor that uses a separate surgery center.

One week after surgery
I'm so glad I explanted!! I feel SO much more comfortable and am so happy with how I am healing so far. I'm glad that I didn't get a lift or smaller implants (something that I started worrying I might want in the days right before and right after surgery). That was just nerves talking! I am really happy with my size, it is perfect for my frame and I can't believe I ever felt like I needed implants. I definitely have better self image than I used to.
Thank you to EVERYONE who has posted their photos on here! I don't know if I would have gone through with this if I didn't have the hope this site gave me that I could explant and not be deformed.

Hey there! It's been a year since your procedure, and we haven't heard from you for a while. How are you? It'd be great to have an update from you! Hope you're still happy with your results :)
