11 months since straight explant, no lift and feel myself again!!!

A quick update... next month will be a full year since my explant and I couldn't be happier. Just a recap - I got 260 cc silicone implants under the muscle after breastfeeding two children. I had no issues with them but they just never felt like me. After having them for 3 years, I decided to take them out. Just a straight explant, no lift and only implants removed. The recovery from the explant was a breeze. It was just the emotions that were the tough part - seeing myself so flat initially after being used to filling out C cup bras etc... I am 5'4" 115 lbs and now 36 years old. I work out regularly running sprints on the treadmill and lifting weights and sometimes run outdoors when I can. It really takes a year to see and feel your true results ladies. Even in the last couple of months my breasts feel much firmer than after the surgery. My nipple sensation has improved greatly and I barely felt anything with my nipples when the implants were in. I thought it was due to breastfeeding, which in part is true, but the sensation has returned quite a bit. I wont' lie, over the past year it has even crossed my mind to get implants again, and question whether I should have just left them in. But I have now fully accepted my natural breasts and love them and feel so much more confident and in tune with my body. I feel more confident to wear sexy/revealing clothes. With the implants I would try to hide my breasts thinking I would look silly putting those things on display and to me they looked obviously fake and slutty instead of true sexiness. I now think of breast implants as prosthetic [RS bleep]. I can't imagine that every day women are making the decision to stick plastic into their bodies. Thank you to all the women, once again, on this explant site for supporting and encouraging one another!

I have read a bit on this site about women worrying about what their husbands/partners will think about their breasts after the explant - well I can tell you my husband loves them now. He never had a problem with the implants but revealed recently that he always felt nervous that he would pop them. He absolutely LOVES the feel of my breasts now in his hands now and touches them so much more. The little secret I have learned about men - they love CONFIDENT women. There is just something more carnal and sexy about being natural and not having [RS bleep] star breasts that kind of scream "I'm insecure". It doesn't matter what you have it's having the CONFIDENCE to rock what God gave you that turns them on. Not that it's all about the men, but just say'n. And really, would men even consider undergoing surgery to put plastic balloons filled with toxic material in their chests? Doubt it. When you think of it, implants are silly. We need to just love ourselves and that joy and happiness will spread to the young girls who are (closely) watching us. You are beautiful ladies - in whatever shape, size and breast size you are. Just start believing that cuz it's true!!!

Hello all. Time flies and I realized that I am at about 4 months since my explant. Fluffing really does happen and my breasts have filled in nicely. I took some quick pics which aren't the greatest but show how they have changed. I'm really happy I did this and feel much more confident now. There are moments when, for a few minutes, I'll wonder if I should have left the implants in - usually when I'm looking at a fitness magazine (where it seems every model has them) or watching something where a woman has implants and I think they look nice. Other than that I have been very confident with my decision. I feel much leaner and it feels nice to be natural. Good luck to everyone and thank you so much for all of the support and reviews on this site. By the way, I learned after the implants were out that I actually had 260 cc (under the muscle, silicone, high profile) and not 280 like I had thought. I am 5'4" and 115 lbs.
