I realized after someone commented that I posted a flex pic instead of the relaxed pic. The flex pic was used to show the doctor where the tethering was coming from. Swelling has gone down some, lipo areas HURT, and compression garment gets old real quick, but trying to focus on my desire to fix the problem without a small implant, with my own fat, and this is what it took. Praying for patience!

Fat grafting and scar release after explant

I had scar release surgery and fat grafting two days ago after much soul searching and investigation into my options. I had more extensive scarring than I realized and that it was pulling in on my breasts, keeping areas tethered. The scar release loosened those areas and the fat is keeping it filled out so it doesn't stick down again. The lipo is uncomfortable, looks horrible with the bruising, but trying to focus on end result which will be all me but not so deformed. Right now breasts are very swollen and excess fat was put in because a possible 30-70% loss can be expected. I do not want them this size so I am hoping they go down a lot!!! I loved the small size I was, just the scarring was affecting my self esteem.

So sorry that you had scarring issues after such a beautiful result in your one year pic. Was just a scar release surgery not possible? Good luck, be kind to yourself and continue to post as you continue your journey. Thanks.

The doctor said without something pushing out the areas that were released they would just adhere back down and I really really didn't want a small implant. they have already gone down significantly and I'm hopeful to just have normal shaped breasts. Thank you for your comments!

I am thrilled to no longer have big breasts that are filled with plastic! I love the softness of them now, although I have some scar tissue issues, they look just fine in clothes. I am going to consult a reconstruction doctor about the scarring to see what my options are but not sure I care to do anything. Nipples still have a tuck at bottom and right breast has fold at bottom, possibly a little fat transfer may do the trick, I just don't want them bigger, my clothes fit so much better and I feel like a normal size for my build, though I have gained about ten lbs this year!

Your pics give me hope that when I get mine removed I will need no additional surgeries! Your results look great. I've had mine for 15 years and have a leak in the left. They are saline but I've wanted them out since I got them! Thank you for posting all the follow up pictures!

Just reading your post and wanted to see how it feel these many years later. I get my implants out in two weeks and am really looking forward to being free!
