Finally free!!!

Thank you, Tigger! ;)

Thanks so much, MissZ! You will be SOOOOO happy. :) Best of luck with everything!!

Hi jazzbird8 ;-) how are u? How's everything? I hope they are getting better with each day. My explant procedure is next Friday! Ah so scared but I'm excited to be free of these implants! I'm not sure if you've already addressed this in your posts but did you have your capsules removed? My ps is keeping them in but said she may take a small piece if needed when she gets in there on the cc breast.

I'm great, thank you! You? :) The capsule was removed along with all the scar tissue on my encapsulated side. It was left in on the right side.

Hi znikie! I don't really have any words of wisdom, to be honest! I just massaged the damaged side with bio oil per my doc's instructions. Probably not as much as I should have. But I went into surgery expecting some sort of long term damage because the encapsulation was so bad so I wasn't surprised or upset by it. Unfortunately I have lost some breast tissue since the last set of photos I posted because I've been working out a lot more. So the dent is looking a little more obvious. It still doesn't bother me though. I'd rather have tiny boobs and a lean figure. I just have to keep reminding myself that any man worth my time isn't going to care how small or "different" my boobs are. ;)

By the way, they look amazing for being only a few weeks post! They will continue changing and settling. Just try to be patient and give them time before you get too concerned over the puckering. And massage as soon as your doc says it's ok. ((Hugs))

Thanks so much, Bailey!! :)

Thanks so much, light again!! ;)

Thank you so much! Yes, this process definitely requires patience and faith! Not easy but worth it. ;)

Hi Sb504! It's impossible not to be scared but that's what we're all here for. :) I was pleasantly surprised that I had more tissue post-explant than pre-implant, myself. I'm not as lean as I used to be but our boobs also get bigger as we get older so, ya just won't know until you get to the other side. It's a risk worth taking in my opinion. I love my natural breasts and wouldn't go back if you paid me! Different doctors have different opinions but most say that the sports bras offer necessary support so the tissue can heal back "up" where it's supposed to be rather than sagging. I also felt more secure and comfortable in them. It limits your wardrobe options for a while but better safe and comfortable than the alternatives, I think. Best of luck to you on Wednesday! You'll do great and feel so relieved!! ;)

Thanks, Luv! You are looking wonderful yourself! ;)
