Hi Real Self community! I am so happy and blessed to have come upon the site. It has helped men emotionally and visually!
My story is one of a lot of recent physical and emotional turmoil. I strongly believe it is all due to Breast Implant Illness. Symptoms have been; memory loss, brain fog, sever neck, back and hip pain. Numbness in my hands, legs and arms. Debilitating migraines, chronic all over body pain, weight gain, inability to lose weight, heart palp's, severe sweats night and day. Digestion issues and inflammation of my bowl intestines. Hospitalizations, inability to recover from fungal infections, dry skin, severe nausea, vertigo and enlarged lymph nodes. I am sick everyday. Some are better than others but when its bad its REALLY bad and interferes with my life as a mother, wife, employee and overall human being. I am confined to my bed-my room like the worst flu you can imagine.
I have been misdiagnosed over and over this last year and a half that my health has taken a fast nose dive. Recently i have been diagnosed as depressed. My Dr says there is no other explanation of my symptoms and that it must be depression. I am a happy person and I LoVE life! It is so frustrating to know your body in and out and know there is something not right. Its lime screaming for your life but no one can hear you.
I am explanting because I strongly believe Bii is the reason for all of this. I take full responsibility for getting them in the first place and have honestly regretted it from day one. Time to make my bad decision and make it right. I want to grow old with my hubby, live to see grand babies and watch my children live full lives.
I have scheduled my explant w full capsulectomy and No lift on jan 31st. My pre op was yesterday with Dr. Chun whom my mom found on a facebook site called Breast Implant Illness and Healing by Nicole. The page has thousands of women like us trying to cope, live and decide. I am not on it because i dont have facebook so if i never would have come across real self- for the visual because i am a visual person- i couldnt have been more sure or more comfortable with my decision to Explant.
So many women on here have explanted with large D and double D size boobies with no lift and they look amazing! I personally have huge support of my hubby to not do a lift so that also helps. He says Im a woman and im beautiful in and out and i need to be comfortable with how our bodies change naturally. I have had 2 kids and have pretty good skin so im faithful that look wise i will be ok. Wish i woulda had this man in my life when I was thinking of getting them in the first place!
Any who...
i wish love and courage to anyone hurting or in pain and thinking of explant. Its a hard decision... but living in pain everyday and slowly dying is harder.
I will update some tools i have looked up thanks to different women on RealSelf and google lol...
Blessings xo

I actually thought visually completely made sense lol! It has def helped me a lot too. I made a bad bad choice with implants, I'm not ill but I am uncomfortable and in pain every day. I can't run or work out or even sleep comfortably. Your husband sounds like a very wise man. I wish I had realized this 2 yrs ago instead of getting implants and ending up in this bad mess. I hate the way they look and feel. Ended up with a lot of deformities due to the implants and it's so hard to accept that I made this choice and changed my body for the worst permanently. I congratulate you on your choice to get rid of the implants and be free!! Wishing you the very best for your upcoming surgery and happy healing!!

Im still learning how to use the site... i accidentally responded to you by posting a comment lol

Thank you for your well wishes! Even scars and deformities can be beautiful lovely. Our beauty manifests from the inside and scars carry stories and lessons for us to share and be proud of. My illness started with just being uncomfortable and achy but i ignored them because i thought it was part of the aging process :) its never too late to have them removed, the hardest hurdle is fear of the unknown... what will i look like after, how will i feel after ect... keep faith and listen to that little voice inside. She knows you better that anyone else... any Dr or surgeon, friend or family. Blessings beautiful!

I was actually a DD, never wore the right bra. I squeezed myself in D cup bras bc I thought the DD Bras were even uglier, big and matronly. All that to say, I had no lift and turned out great. I would not recommend a lift until at least 6 months and most of the more honest surgeons want their patients to wait! You won't need it I bet!! I didn't go with Dr. Chun, but Melmed and Chun are supposed to be great.
January 30, 2017
Yes, the bigger the bras the more i felt like i was putting on battle armor... at first implant i was a good C then they just got bigger and bigger. I thank you for sharing about not getting a lift. The unknown is always so scary : / but thanks to you ladies on RS i am super confident in not lifting and getting a jump start on feeling alive and free! Blessings* xo

Do you have after photos? Because I am going to have surgery for explant with Dr. Chun and I would like to see his work? I am very confused wether to have a lift with the explant or not?
February 11, 2017
Hi, yes i will post after pics tonight. I just had my drains removed on thursday so im still a little swollen. I am super happy my hubby convinced me to not do a lift, i think the scars and recovery would have been too much for me. Its so important to have good support from your self and those closest to you... sending good thoughts and energy your way! Blessings
February 11, 2017
Thank you so much!!! I hope you get well soon!!! I am very confused and emotional right now and can't make a desicion. I need to let the doctor know very soon. I just don't know what the outcome will be after and I don't want to go thru another surgery.

One thing my hubby said that made me feel good was and reminded me that-... ur beautiful
February 12, 2017
i have adopted this truth for myself and believe it for all of you other beauties out there! The unknown is so scary but it's how you look at it and how you feel that matter's the most. Xo whatever you decide is your personal choice and neither one is wrong or right... it's whatever you feel deep down inside. I was told that my skin would be so baggy and droopy but after looking on RS i saw do many women without the lift that look so beautiful naturally! Embrace your beauty lovely and that will radiate outward!

Vitamin support for before and after surgery
So I have seen these on a few post's and decided to order them to help my body prepare and recover from explant. My implants are under the muscle so I want to help my body any way I can. I went to the VitaMedica website and placed my order... the more items you order the more discount they give you.
- Recovery Support Program: helps the body prepare for trauma and heal faster/better from the stress of surgery and anything that has put the body/mind into shock.
It says to start this program 2 weeks before anticipated surgery or right as soon as a trauma happens. I placed my order a week and a half ago and got the order in 2 days with regular shipping! It was so fast and easy so as soon as i got them i started taking them right away.
- Probiotic 8: to offset recovery and digestion from the antibiotics
-Anti-Aging formula: to nourish my body after i finish with the Recovery Support Program.

Hi, which ones from your list do you find particularly effective? Would you recommend all of them? Your post op breasts look so nice.
April 13, 2017
Thank you so much, i have to do an update because my "fluff" has gone down some...I think if any the recovery/support and probiotic are the most essential. I firmly believe that the recovery support one's really helped my body recover so well from the inside...

~ See you're not the only one who makes errors.
If only there were an edit feature. :/
Actually, my surgery date is now February 6th at 3pm, because like you, I nabbed a cancellation. So I will be joining you on the 'other side' not too long after your surgery.
Big cyber hug.
