So more than three months have passed since I had my explant and I'm gonna be honest and say I sometimes miss them.

NOT!

I have thought briefly about it for a second or two and then when I remember the feeling: those huge balls on my chest that I always tried to hide. No, I don't miss them. I do wish I had some more breast tissue though, because my body shape is very boyish; my [RS bleep] are teeny tiny, no slight hint of a cleavage whatsoever, no real waist to brag about, and my petite frame (5'2") weighs 123 lbs with only 15% body fat (quite athletic in other words). So I do sometimes feel a little unfeminine. But I compensate in dressing that way, just wish summer would come sooner so I could use my cute dresses and skirts and shoes.

I mentioned previously that none of my friends had commented on the fact. Well, now two have! One of them was an old friend I rarely see who I met randomly at a club. He was drunk and sort of blurted it out, but he's not friends with any of my friends and none of them heard it (they are new friends that don't even know I had implants). The other was a friend who lives in South America and was here on a short holiday. I'm pretty sure she was direct about it because of that. I did not mind, however, and I know she'll only talk about it with one friend we have in common, which I'm also fine with.
I know more people have noticed and I find it hard to understand why they haven't asked or anything. Knowing people they probably talk about it behind my back though, asking eachother. But I don't mind. Still happy with my decision! :-D

Wow you look fantastic Ms. Norway! It is a shame you live in the cold North where those nice breasts must stay covered up in wooly jumpers and big coats for so much of the year, because they belong in a bikini :D Side note - Martial arts with breast implants must have been so restricting. Happy training to you with your natural body.

I think they look wonderful! Before and after! The best part is you are happy and comfortable :) As for people not noticing, maybe half do and half don't. I am awful at noticing such things. I think we ourselves notice on other people what we are insecure about in ourselves. So you notice boobs but if they're losing hair, they notice your thick hair, make sense? I used to notice people's weight because I was weight obsessed. Now I started losing my hair several years ago so I notice people's hair so much. I don't think i could recall anyone's breast size or changes! But hair? I notice it all these days lol.

I must say, you look fabulous!! I'm getting my implants removed after only 4.5 months, and every time I get anxious about how I'm going to look afterwards I glance at your pictures and feel better. We're about the same age and I figure if you can look so absolutely amazing after 4 YEARS with implants, then surely I won't look like the bride of Frankenstein after only 4 months (fingers crossed). I always thought implants would make me feel sexy, but instead I'm hiding them and realize I felt so much better about myself before. I wish you all the best in your new, implant-free life! =)

After explant passes this tightening sensation in your chest?

Pass this discomfort?
You feel like you never placed?
You have any sequel?
How was your recovery after explant?

Two months have passed and I've never looked back....

returnoftheflatchest
Two months have passed and I've never looked back. No more self conscious about big fake boobies. Just comfortable in my own skin.

Posted a couple of new photos. As you can see the scar under my right boob is much smaller than the one under my left one. Hope it gets better with time.

I stopped using micropore tape few days ago. Don't really know how long I was supposed to use it, but I think I'm fine now. Underwire bras haven't really been my thing the last few years but I can use them. I'm thinking of buying some pretty non-wire ones though. I think I'll feel more comfortable.

Anyways, just thought I'd keep you posted as it has been a while. Feel free to ask any questions :-)

What a great result! You look great :)

Your natural breasts are beautiful...much nicer than the implanted ones :-) I'm so happy for you. I will be having explant on April 12th and it helps more than I can say to hear how happy everyone is after explant. Thank you for being so open and graciously sharing your story. Healing thoughts sent your way.
March 11, 2013
Congratulations. Your results are amazing!!! If I had seen your after pictures only I would never have guessed that you'd ever had implants. where your implants behind the muscle? X

I absolutely LOVE getting comments from you gals!...

returnoftheflatchest
I absolutely LOVE getting comments from you gals! Lovely feeling on a Sunday morning :-)

Still no comments in real life though, and I think it's strange. I have been wearing large tees and big jumpers, but I still think it's obvious. I mean, I look so much better in baggy clothes now because they don't make me look fat anymore. But soon, when I get the courage to face opinions and stuff I'll wear more fitted stuff. I thought that someone was about to make a comment yesterday at training, but the girl was talking about my hair instead and I noticed that I wouldn't know what to say if it had been about my chest. It made me a bit nervous. Hahahaha!!! :-D

I had some spare time yesterday and started going through my wardrobe trying on clothes and running excitedly through the flat between the bedroom and the bathroom (which is where we have our largest mirror). I loooooooove the old new me!!! I had to put away a couple of dresses that I just looked ridiculous in though. Ridiculously petite! They were just too big for me all over, something I hadn't noiticed before because they were tight around the chest! And this beautiful vintage halterneck maxi dress I bought last summer fitted me waaay better. Before I'd only wear it for a couple of hours before my neck started getting painful from the boob weight and now I don't have that problem!!! Yayyy!!! :-D

Oh, and about my natural amount of breast tissue, I know it looks like I have a hell of a lot, but I really don't. I think it looks that way because of how small my ribcage is and because of the angle I took the last photo. They get pancaked flat in sports bras and are only barely a 32B. But I love them!

You look fantastic. I know what you mean about thinking someone is going to say something. I thought someone was going to say something at work and I found myself going red!! They didn't, but I need to prepare. I have been wearing a sports bra with a underwire free padded bra over the top whilst at work!!! So pleased its winter, I'm going to go on a mad keep fit mission so by summer I'll say I lost them through excercise!! I'll update mine later today as mine have changed loads-still flat but now where they should be. I'm so happy with them and that I no longer have implants. Don't get me wrong I liked having some shape but the feeling of them was gross!! x

Isn't it exciting getting ready for petite spring and summer clothes?! You look great, even if you're smaller than the pictures look, they have perfect shape!! I too am really tired of trying to look cute in sports bras and my daughters' t-shirts lol. For years I've worn size small bottoms and large/xl tops. I'm with plasticnation - going to get a little more fit by spring and see how many people notice what I've done. Thanks for sharing all of your ups and downs on here, it helps to have someone to relate to :)

Explant here! So glad I had mine remove a week ago. Everything went great....virtually no pain (the bandage hurt, that's all!) and I'm feeling so much lighter. I'm thrilled to be able to wear some of my clothes again without bulging over the top. Hugs are already better! ;-) I encourage everyone considering this to watch the videos on Dr. Susan Kolbs website...especially about the flaking of the textured implants. Insane, what we will do to our bodies.
January 20, 2013
Hugs are definitely better, maybe the best part of the explant for me!!
January 20, 2013
I love them too, but NOTHING beats being able to wear some tops and sweaters I couldn't, with implants, because my cleavage squished out the top of them and looked stupid. I'm wearing clothes I hadn't worn in YEARS - and they're still stylish and look SOOOOOOO good on smaller boobs! =)
January 21, 2013
Oh, you look so good for only 8 days out!! I can only pray I look half as good as you do when I get mine out!!!
June 11, 2016
Your results are beautiful and so very encouraging for me! I've had saline implants under the muscle for 8 years now, and I'm planning to make my consultation soon! I've chosen (tentatively) my doctor, but will see the feel I get for their office during my visit. I'm so hoping that my results will be as great as yours! You look fantastic, girl! Thank you for sharing your results!
