Got drains out, my gosh I look so old in the photos, I had to crop them...lol. But promised photos. My left nipple is shy...lol Doc said since the drain came out they should puff back out but she is having me massage and pull on nibble...gag. I am in awe of my size and know I still have swelling, very happy.

Had explant yesterday, came home in compression bra and drains. I slept off and on with pillows propped up and ones on both side like a chair, overall slept well, woke up ever three hours which I then drained my drains only 20 ml. Chest is sore like a bad muscle ache. I am grateful the left ruptured one encapsulated it self after rupture, the right one ruptured just as she pulled it out about an inch still inside. No scrapping just flushing, so it will be interesting to see my tatas at post-op. Over all I feel great and so happy to have the 37 year old bags of poison out. I will post photos after post -op on Monday of what the girls look like.

I look forward to hearing more from you as your days of healing come along. I'm 57 and have had my implants for 32 years - your story is helping me to get the courage to have mine out. (I've been reading posts for several weeks now and this is my first time to post). Thank you for sharing your story...maybe one day soon I'll share mine :) Wishing you a healthy and speedy healing process!

Good morning, I took a whole Percocet at bed time and slept good, still elevated, my drains are putting out hardly anything. It is painful when i first get up, like my tatas are going to fall off but once up for a few minutes they adjust and comfortable. The antibiotic I'm on causes my face and neck to look flush...called doc, no fever or itching so staying on them. Looking at them from the top the right one looks great the left one is a smaller version of when implant was in kind of squared and watching everyone else's journey it will correct its self...from what I can see I'm very happy. My left side is more tender I'm still dealing with a frozen shoulder and where I had a lymph node removed in September. I AM SO HAPPY I DID THIS especially after seeing my implants once out....

It helps me to get the courage hearing you say in spite of it all, you're still 'SO HAPPY' after getting them removed. I'm searching for a PS now...my goal is to have mine out by March 2016. Thank you for sharing your story :)

VelveteenBunny, this site helped me prepare for the explant, had I not seen what others went through I would have freaked when I saw my left boob, which is slowing looking a little better. It does feel weird having books jiggle instead of thumping...lol

ha ha, and yes, I'm with you...I see how it helps to prepare...mine is scheduled for 3rd week of February. I can't wait to be on the other side like you!

Congratulations! Must feel so amazing to have them out after all those years. I've had mine for 13 years and it seems like an eternity. Wish I could just yank them out myself. I will soon be on the other side though. Thx for sharing and happy healing. Enjoy the real you!
