1 year since explant! Happy!
I cannot believe it's been a year and I am nothing short of grateful! I was terrified at the prospect of getting the surgery and didn't know how my breasts would look post op. Since the first day after my surgery l thought I looked even better than before. Now after a year, I have noticed so many changes. First off, I gradually started losing weight that wouldn't budge. After 6 months I gradually lost 20 pounds and have kept it off. I feel more body confident and even seem to feel taller! I love doing yoga and working out and even resumed some running which I gave up years ago. I love having little boobs and wouldn't have it any other way. My mind set on beauty and self confidence has really changed. I'm far from the 18 year old that was image obsessed and heavily influenced by society's idea of beauty and what it is to be sexy. Nothing makes me feel more sexy than being natural and free from toxic materials. I also just came back from a much awaited beach vacation and that was amazing to feel free in my body. I've noticed many of my suits look different, some I've started wearing more and some I've gotten rid of. Honestly there are times when being in a bikini has me missing having a little cleavage, but this is me now and I accept it fully. I've found myself more gravitated toward a minimalistic life and have started this journey since before the surgery. Getting rid of anything in my life that doesn't bring me joy or purpose has taken a huge weight off my shoulders. I'm feeling better but I still have some lingering symptoms of low energy, and sometimes feeling depressed and anxious. I've also had a slightly elevated thyroid for the past few years. I recently went to a Rhumatologist because something came up in my blood test that needed to be further investigated. The tests came back showing lupus, my immune system is severely suppressed and something going on with my blood that I'm not quite sure of. I knew something was off, and have felt this way now for the past 5 years. I could never figure it out and everyone around me thought it was all in my head and it was making feel crazy or like a hypochondriac. My intuition was telling me otherwise, but I had nothing to support that. Could it be the implants? They were saline but the implant shell is silicone and made of so many toxins that likely dissipated in my body. Could it be genetic? I have no idea. I will be seeking out the help of a naturopath to find alternate opinions. I'm not giving up hope for regaining my health back and continue to eat a whole food vegan diet, daily exercise, sleeping well and resting when I need to and practicing ways to manage stress. Very happy about this decision and I'm grateful for the support.

6 months post explant. Happy&healthy!
My life has changed considerably over the past 6 months and I believe it all started with removing my implants. I love the way I look and feel and for once, am completely comfortable in my own skin. I can't even imagine having implants for 15 years. I don't feel like there is much to report on because I'm not experiencing any issues and feel completely healed mentally and physically. I wish everyone much love and support on their explant journey and enjoy seeing others progress. I'm happy to start my life as a confident adult woman, and start a family soon!

I love your posts! I'm about to schedule my explant surgery on Monday! I'm nervous, actually terrified, but I know this is the right thing. I've only had them in for 4 years and I never necessarily HATED my implants, but I never loved them either. I got them for the same reasons you did. I was young + didn't think of my future self + I was obsessed with looking like a woman + being sexy. That's not me, never was me actually. I've had them for 4 years + ALWAYS cover up!
Your story make me excited. I also gained a ton of weight right after I got my implants + a few months later was diagnosed with celiac disease. I truly believe the implants messed with my body. Not to mention I'm ALWAYS tired, stiff, feeling sick. I truly believe they're toxic for me.
It's such a huge decision for us to make but your journey definitely reassures me I'm making the right choice!

That is so great to hear! My only regret is not getting them out sooner because I was terrified and told I would basically look deformed. Well I'm not! You will be much happier and healthier without the implants. I had food allergies and other problems and I feel good now. I wish you the best on your healing journey!

Hi JuneBugz! What a wonderful and positive post. So happy you are doing so well both physically and emotionally. You look absolutely beautiful, you actually looked great from day one! So nice to be natural and free! I am 9 months post-op and couldn't be more happy with my tiny, natural soft breasts! Thanks for your update! Truly an inspiration to all of us! xoxo
