Day 9

WORTH IT$3,200
Hello ladies!!
Sorry I haven't updated the review in a while. Time just flies by and I've been staying busy although I still think about my boobs quite often.
Today was day 9 post explant and I'm happy to say that everything's going well and I'm doing great! The scars are healing up nicely (they're itching so bad though!) and my little ones are fluffing up and looking better every day. I still have those moments sometimes when I just look down and struggle with emotions and wonder what I've done to myself, but I love feeling so light and natural!
It helps to have a loving, supportive husband too.
He's still trying to get used to the "new view" when we're being intimate, but I think he's doing pretty good with the changes!
I'm still wearing sports bras 24/7. (I give them a break every once in a while)
I wear padded sports bras and I wore a wireless bra today with light padding and it was fine for the most part, but I think I'm going to keep wearing sports bras until the scars heal some more.
I'll keep you ladies posted!
Happy New Years!! :D

Day 2

Today's been a lot better than yesterday!
I have virtually no pain and I haven't taken any pain meds. I took a shower too and I feel so much better! My boobs (I don't even know if I should call them boobs..) are very flat and just sad looking. I had very little breast tissue before BA but I hope they fluff up some.
Another thing is that I'm so bloated and constipated..!
I know general anesthesia can do this to you, but this is miserable!
I took some Dulcolax not too long ago so hopefully I'll get better soon. :)
Thank you ladies for all the encouraging words and I'll keep y'all posted! :)

Yay... healing up nicely. So happy... sorry you are feeling so horrible but just remember its just temporary... xo

Did you have your capsules removed or anything else? Or did you just have the implants removed? I'm scheduled for explant January 6th under local anesthesia....getting so nervous! I started with very little tissue as well and have had mine for 4months....371silicone unders. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I'm 25.
December 30, 2013
I didn't have my capsules removed because they weren't thick and my breasts were soft. My ps wanted to do general instead of local because I hadn't had any imaging done like the MRI and he didn't know what he was going to find in there. I don't think you need a capsulectomy since you would only have had them for 4 months and I don't think that's even enough time to form capsule contracture. I'm 23 and got my implants when I was only 18. Don't worry! I wish I would have never gotten them, but I think you're making a good decision to take them out so early! You won't have to constantly worry about them rupturing or making you sick. Hope your surgery goes smoothly. :)
December 30, 2013
Hey, I sent you 2 private messages....was just wondering if you received them. I know sometimes they don't send.

I want to get mine removed too. Did you use the same doctor that did the breast enlargement to remove them? I'm very flat chested after breast feeding but you've inspired me.
December 31, 2013
I didn't go to the same doctor and plus, my original incision was axillary and my doctor had to "guess" and measure where my new (old) inframammary folds were going to be. I don't think it would necessarily be better to go to the same doctor but that might be a good place to start! If you don't need any capsule work like me, you'll be up and doing things after the next day. Day 1 post op was the hardest for me but nothing unbearable! Hope you find you a good doctor for your surgery and happy new year! :)

You said one of your implants was a little out of place and you believe this is why you were having pain in that breast. Can you describe how it felt? I am thinking my right implant is out of place. It feels like its constantly pulling away towards my armpit, and it has a certain heaviness about it. When I walk or even sitting down it feels better when I have my arms crossed and I'm supporting it more underneath. It also has ripples near the cleavage area. And when I grab it and move it around it feels loose and almost like its rubbing against a muscle the wrong way....
December 31, 2013
Hi, it's kind of hard to describe, but I had ripples around the cleavage area too but I had weird sensations and occasional pain in my chest wall and numbness in my right arm which extended all the way down to my fingers. I also felt pain in my right armpit which I had concerned me because I had heard that silicone can escape from a ruptured implant and get under the armpit causing pain. I think it was just referred pain from the implant pressing on the nerves in the chest extending out to the axilla and the arm. I didn't get the MRI done because I was going to get them removed either way, but it might be good for you to do the MRI or ultra sound to see what's going on if you're not 100% sure what you want to do! Hope to hear from you again and happy new year!:)

I experience numbness of my right arm too and underneath my armpit! I explained it to my husband and told him I think the implant is out of place and sitting on a nerve the wrong way....its definitely worse when I lay on my back to sleep and wake up. When I lay on my back without a bra I also notice kind of a bumpy ridge near my cleavage area with my right breast. I looked it up and I believe its lateral displacement. I know I am removing mine, so I don't plan on a MRI. I just hope everything is in tact bc I'm having it done under local. And I also hope I don't need any internal stitches on the outer side of my right breast to fix it so my natural tissue doesn't slide towards my armpit pot explant. I've read that women usually have internal sutures out in to hold the implant in place, but I'm not having the implants replaced. Did you by chance notice this ridge near your cleavage area of your out of place side?

Are you doing any tricks for padding under shirts? I'm going to be equally as tiny as you are and I am trying to think of ways I can feel ok in shirts until I fluff at least some or can wear a regular bra eventually....I know being compressed so snug with an xs sports bra is going to be a little uncomfortable for me for a while and hard to dress with tops. Any advice as to what you are doing would be great.

Hi, I wore the pink sports bra without any padding to go out to eat and shop on day 3 and I felt like a 10-year-old girl and my husband had to comfort me and tell me he loved my new/old body and he's still so attracted to me. Going to Victoria's Secret didn't help either. I found a heavily-padded sports bra and wore it today and I loved it! It's got almost the same amount of padding as the 2 cup size up miraculous bra from Victoria's Secret but softer and it doesn't push my boobs up. It just sits on top and still very comfortable. I think I'll be wearing this a lot until I can wear underwire push up bras. The only thing is that I wish they had this sports bra in nude because it's almost neon orange and I can't wear light-colored shirts with it. But this is certainly helping a lot with the healing process! Hope everything goes well for you and Happy New Year! :)

I know its going to be quite an adjustment for me as well. Did you find the heavily padded sports bra at Victorias secret? I may have to look there, they are just so expensive though. I've heard from some other women that target has some good padded sports bras as well. I need to do some searching. My pre op is today, surgery is Monday. I'm so very nervous. But I can't live with how my right one feels. And if I'm already having complications its better to go ahead and get them out now.

Day 1
nomoresiliconeDecember 29, 2013
Today went considerably well with a little more pain than yesterday. I has almost no pain yesterday and only had to take one extra strength Tylenol pill but today I've taken 3 and doing better.
They gave me my implants in a container after the surgery, and today I finally got them out and got to take a look at them. Before the explantation I really had believed that my right implant had ruptured, so I was so surprised and relieved to hear that they were both intact. They were Allergan Style 40 280 cc.
I went and saw my ps this morning and he unwrapped the compression band and I got to look at them for the first time. They're very flat but I thought everything looked good.
I get to take my first shower tomorrow night! I'll post some pictures after the shower. Good night ladies! :)
