Congratulations, now your breasts look adorably natural! It's amazing how your life can change after having those nasty fake implants removed.....the best part is the freedom to sleep flat on my tummy without the pain they were causing me.mmyou should be proud of your decision as your results look wonderful!
Thanks so much for taking the time to post- I'm looking at getting an explant but been horrified by some of the after pictures of really saggy and wrinkled breasts.
Can I ask what you put your great result down to? Age? They weren't that large to begin with? How come you didn't need a lift as well? I notice most women seem to have lifts also?
I'm 34dd and slim, my skin looks pretty stretched so I'm fearing they'll look awful.
Thanks heaps - Jess
Right on, sister!!
How do you feel? Like before Ba? I AM afraid that never be Like before, mental and phisicaly
Please could you give me some advices for food or creams that you maybe use after removal?
Coconut oil! I use "NOW" and buy online, about $4 to $5 bucks depending where you buy it. They take the smell away, it is perfect! Check out my story, I also had excellent bounce back results and same doctor :)
Thanks!! I am using almond oil but I think coconut oil is better. I hope mine bounce back more :( How do you treat your scars? :)
By the way, you look amazing!
I am using now foods avokado oil from iherb :)
Bio Oil. Its the best! I had dark scars after surgery. Used it everyday for 3 or so months and now you can barely see my scars

11 Months Post-Explant - Best Decision! A-Cup Joy.

So I explanted for numerous reasons. I didn't like the way the implants felt inside my body anymore. I felt like something foreign was in there (which it was). I felt pain in my collar bone/neck, back, and shoulders, especially when exercising or when lying down flat trying to sleep. I also felt like they were too heavy for my small framed body. There is a reason why I have small breasts - my frame is small - the way I was designed.

I had some sort of inflammation going on in my entire body, it was causing me joint pain. I don't know what was going on, and doctors couldn't give me answers but my blood tests did show high inflammation.

I recently found something that has made me feel MUCH better. It's called Wobenzym. (by Garden of Life). They are systemic enzyme pills that I take (3 pills 2 x per day on an empty stomach). They work by going in the blood stream and breaking down excess proteins in the blood that are causing inflammation / pain.

I swear by Wobenzym. Highly recommend it to anyone with chronic inflammation. It also helps with my painful period! (and mine are bad!) all of the gynecologists that I've seen, believe that I have endometriosis (and my mom has it too). but Wobenzym and a healthy diet is helping. Good luck to you all!

hi i had my implants out 5 days ago. i only had them for 6 1/2 months. 3 months after i had them i started to feel extremely fatigued the at the 4 month mark all my joints swelled up. my neck pain i horrible. i have been on and off steriods and am now on a immunosuppresent from a rheumatologist. the strange part is noone can pinpoint what is causing all the problems. i went ahead and had my implants removed bc i was completely healthy prior to getting them. my question is when did you actually start to feel better? i still and fatigued and my neck kills.
I'm starting to finally feel better 11 months post explant (neck pain is much less) but I still have some discomfort especially if I stop taking the Wobenzym (systemic enzymes for inflammation). I highly recommend you try it. I think the body must create antibodies because of the foreign object in the body .. So the inflammation starts to attack the joints . Crazy but I think it's true..
Thank you
Wow, you look beautiful! :) Thank you so much for the recommendation - I had my implants removed 2 weeks ago and also experience a lot of joint pain. I will definitely try the Wobenzym...my kids take Garden of Life vitamins/probiotics and I really like their products. :)
You look great! We have similar natural breasts. Did you do anything to make them grow or gain weight? They look bigger in your more recent pictures...
No I didn't do anything! I think they are just fluffing up.
You look fantastic! How about your muscle? I'm REALLY concerned about it, as I went submuscular too.
the muscles are tight. I have to stretch them daily. and sometimes they spasm.
Wow u came out GREAT! I'm almost 30 days post explant & loving it!

During your consultation s did the doctors mention you would need a breast lift from having implants. ..or did they mention that your skin would bounce back. I am worried about saggy skin....
They said that based on my age and quality of skin that I would not need a lift
I should mention my frame is exactly like your s around the same age. My boobs look amazing but I feel like I work around them, worry about bursting them, and like you said want to be free.
you will feel so free after taking them out!
Great post! Thanks. You look fantastic!
thanks
I have a question about the compression bra in one of your pix. It looks like a Clearpoint surgical bra. Is that correct? And did you like it?
It's the bra that they put me in at the surgery center after surgery and yes i loved it !
Hi! I got implants only 2 weeks ago. I'm 27, 5"1' weight ab 120 lb I had always wanted boobs. I had nice boobs just wanted that fullness to fill clothes out and look better in a swimsuit. I got 350 cc silicone under the muscle well now even though I'm sure I still have some swelling I feel like they're just too big and maybe I made a HUGE EXPENSIVE mistake. I feel like if I done like how big they are now I definitely won't like them when I decide to have kids and get even bigger. Wish I had considered the fact that they might not look good on me before I got them. I think I did but didn't pay much attention cause I had wanted them for so long. I'm curious, do you have kids? Or any advise?
I do not have kids. my advise would be to do what makes you happy. the good news is explanting is much less expensive than implanting. I know it's an expensive mistake we all made!
