Happy Birthday Little Ones!!
I can't believe it has already been a year. So sorry I have dropped off the radar for so long. I have made it my mission to share my story with everyone, and I have changed many of my friends' views about breast implants. After my internal stitches made their way out of my body (it took months, btw), and I healed from the silicone scar stripping infection, my body started to heal. But, that was a HUGE set back, taking months for the wounds to close and heal. As you can see, the scars are still quite prominent, but I am confident (now that all of the irritants are gone) they will completely fade over time. As far as my health is concerned, I have never felt better. My autoimmune issues have ALL disappeared! I have SO much energy ALL the time. It is crazy!! I feel like I had cancerous tumors removed! Having my implants removed have also effected my complexion. Next to the comment-" Wow, have you lost weight?" is...." Have you had cosmetic surgery on your face? " I think it even changed my skin tone!! In conclusion, if you are on the fence, my advice to you is....jump off!! You will not regret it! Even if you don't look as great as you were hoping. Chances are, you will FEEL so much better, you aren't going to care!!

A few set backs:(
Hi Everyone,
I am STILL healing from that horrible infection I got because of the silicone strips. Now my internal stitches are working their way out of my body. Poking out of the scars... I've cut several inches of ( what looks and feels like fishing line), off my incision lines! With the way my body has reacted thus far, I can't believe it didn't spit those hard saline balls out years ago!!

Aren't internal stitches meant to dissolve. Ouch! Can the PS do anything or just time? I am so sorry. Makes my long lasting itching from heart monitor seem like nothing. Are you still the same size or shrinking? I think I am still shrinking. Hope you are better soon.

Yes, they are but I guess at the 2 month mark, this can occur. I appear to be the same size.. Not shrinking, but definitely taking shape. Ill post more pics soon:)

I was told at one of my consults that sometimes stitches untie and make their way out of the body. I guess it's fairly common to get a few that get pushed out of the body. Hopefully, it's not too uncomfortable for you.

I hope you are feeling better. Thanks for the heads up on the strips. :-)
I can't believe the lady thought you were a D. You totally look like a B to me. You look great in your photos. Happy healing sweetie!

Thank you, I'm feeling much better:) i think I've settled into a C cup.. I love the Calvin Klein no wire bra.. Super comfy and has a small hook in back, to wear as racer back.
