I finally took some new photos. I'm feeling really great and can now sleep on my side and even rest on my stomach. I also finally went back to my normal bras. No more stretchy bras for me...only at home when I want to be comfy. I have returned the the gym with only normal muscle soreness noted. I no longer feel a tugging sensation from the internal lift that was performed. I do notice some asymmetries from right to left. My left breast was very encapsulated and my doctor said for this reason they would not "age" the same. Just looking in the mirror I don't notice much but in the still photo it shows a lot more. I believe I still have some healing internally that will continue to manifest itself. I do still notice that when I raise my arms overhead both nipples some a dimple inward. (Again, from the internal lift.) NO regrets at all!!! It feels SO much better to be me and not have there's hard rocks pressed against me. I'm loving my new size and feeling I look more natural. I went from busting out of a 34D to fitting nicely into a 34C. I think by December with faithful exercise and decreased swelling, I will be a 34 B (ish). Super happy with my results.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I had a consult with him in January for explant, total capsule removal and lift. He didn't have any pics to show me of his explants so thank you for posting yours!

You are most welcome. I know he's done them before but maybe no one agreed to be in his photo book. I am definitely allowing that. I want to help as many women as I can. Did you end up using him or explanting at all?

No, I have not explanted yet. I've been having unexplainable heart palpitations so I'm scared to but it's probably another symptom of having these toxic things inside me. Seems like a lot of women with implants have the same thing.

Cjw77, If you haven't already visited this site, you might want to check it out: healing breast implant illness. com. This may be a good resource for you. Good luck on your journey.

Thanks I have seen it. I'm on that Facebook page too. That's when I put the two together and realized my implants are the problem. Great info on that site. That's where I found Dr. Rotatori name for explant.

Yes, me too. My friend introduced me to the FB page and then after a lot of thought and a written timeline of events, I was able to deduce that the common denominator was the implants. I was very "done" with them anyway but after all the glaring information, it made my decision easier.

I hope you feel better each day. Seems like most women do improve. I'm hoping my thyroid will start working better after I explant. Even if it doesn't it will be worth getting these toxic chemicals out of my system.

I'm feeling much better on POD #9. To recap, I had a total capsulectomy and explant with an internal lift. I got the drains out 2 days ago and I still have the steri-strips. My breasts look like little sandwiches to me because they have not filled out on the bottom. This is due to the lift he performed on the inside. I'm still very swollen under my arms so I have been using ice packs a couple of times per day as well as gentle massage to my facilitate my lymphatic system. (Note: I'm also a massage therapist.) I went to establish a new primary care doctor today and she told me that my PS was "one of the best" and even though it's already done, it felt good to know that my research had paid off and I had chosen wisely. I'm still tired and feel like I'm not 100% yet but all in all I'm back to my normal duties at home with cooking, cleaning and a young child. My husband has been a huge help to me too. I go back to work at my physical therapy clinic in 5 days which consists of standing for 7 hours and demonstrating exercises. I'm not planning on lifting anything over about 5-10 pounds for the first couple of weeks. I'm also not planning on going back to the gym for another 4 weeks and then just easing back into things. I have a follow up appointment with my PS in 3 weeks and after I see him I'm able to get out of my bras 24/7. I can't wait!
