Everything is still wonderful. I'm starting to build up more and more muscle, going to yoga, running, weights. I love being able to work out without the extra foreign bodies to work around. Friends and family all say I look great. I'm happy with everything, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The breast tissue is definitely recovering more and more, and filling in. Sorry for the lousy photos this month.

Your breasts look great, love your tatoo as well! I wanted to ask you about your muscle, as I see your BA was via axillary incision, just as mine. I'm concerned about muscle distortion after explant, but my doctor says the muscle won't be affected at all because they don't cut it when the BA is done via axillary incision. So, what can you tell me about your muscle? Is it ok when you flex? Thank you very much, and sorry for my bad english. I hope your recovery is going well!

This isn't really an update, I just finally got around to digging up a photo of what my breasts looked like BEFORE any of this. I loved how my breasts looked when I was naked. I felt self-conscious in clothes because they seemed to disappear. Obviously, if I had it to do over again, I would have just kept them natural and cute. I wish women knew all of the information out there before making hasty decisions about plastic surgery. :) I love that this forum exists - it is at least a step in the right direction.

I'm still loving the smaller breasts. My only gripe is that the nipples sink inward when they are not hard. It makes them look almost sad. :) Still, I no longer have to wear bras, not having nipples showing through shirts can actually be a huge plus, I don't have huge bags to get in my way and weigh me down. I couldn't be happier - I only wish I had decided to take them out sooner!

You may notice that a tattoo has been added since the last photos. Don't worry, that isn't a side effect of getting implants out. ;)

You look great! I really feel you on the sad nipple thing :( When I take off my bra sometimes the extra skin has swallowed the whole nipple-areola. So sad. Lol. It is still so much better than being implanted with the bags though! Congratulations on your explant and new tattoo.
