How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Big day TODAY - my first implant-free RUN and YOGA practice!!!
Hi Explant Sisters! Hope everyone is well and taking good care of themselves. So it will be 3 weeks tomorrow since I had my implants removed, and I am so excited to be starting my workouts! Yay! I went for a ver long and fast power-walk the other day and unfortunately ended up with a blister on my ribcage, from my sports bra (the band) rubbing at the edge of the steri-strips. Ouch!! The skin was rubbed right off, but thankfully it is nowhere near my incision. I think it will be okay for a run as long as I keep some gauze overtop of it to protect from my sports-bra band.
Here is a picture from yesterday - its hard to tell if I am getting 'perkier' or not, because I see myself everyday, and I am being kind of hard on myself for being out of shape and gaining weight. Oh well - that will all take care of itself now that I can workout again. I am so pumped!!! I am going to stick to practicing yoga at home today, I am worried about picking up germs since I have this open blister. The last thing I want is an infection.
And tomorrow I start 12 weeks of "therapeutic movement" Yoga Teacher Training - yay!!!! I am already certified in hatha yoga, but this will be something different and really help me in my ultimate goal of teaching yoga to veterans and others with depression, eating disorders etc. (all on a volunteer, non-profit basis).
Here are my pics! Thanks for reading and please keep me updated on your progress, healing, etc!

Explanted 10 days ago!
Hi Realself members - just wanted to let you know that I had my implants removed 10 days ago and I am very happy. I wrote another review on it separately, if you want to check it out. Same PS, who has been awesome the entire time. We are all so different - implants are great for some people, and not for others, zero judgment. Its a very personal decision. Good luck to all of you no matter what you are doing - just be true to yourself and love your body! All the best!
Steri-Strips off! I feel nauseous just looking at scars....
Hi all! This morning I had a follow-up with my ps and he took the steri strips off, and just told me to let them be, no cream, no oils, no steri-strips/silicone etc --- its stresses me out a little bit cuz I don't want the skin to stretch and the scars to get bigger etc....
Did anyone else's doc say just to leave the scars alone to heal naturally? He says everything is looking good - and that I am still swollen.
I hope that my nipples will look better over time, they are freaking me out a little bit - I have actually been feeling sick to my stomach all day after looking at the scars - I think reality has finally hit that I had major surgery and that there is a risk of complications from healing etc and that the scars could end up looking hideous -- anyone else have these moments of panic?
