Seeking explant again
I have learned that it was a big mistake to re-do my implants. I did have a few mild allergies before implants at 40 but I developed severe allergies and asthma afterward. I also experienced multiple rashes and developed costochondritis.
After explanting my implants in 2016, the costochondritis ceased. My allergies went away and I did not need allergy medication for the first time in years. Even though I had gone for shots, I still needed medication on a daily basis all year round until my implants were removed. The capsules were not removed but still, I had no symptoms after they were gone.
The chest x-ray that I had taken before removing them showed early emphysematic tissue and mild bronchiectasis. The x-ray that I had taken before re-inserting them, two years later, was completely clear with no sign of disease.
I convinced myself that this was all a coincidence and now my allergies are back full blast as well as my skin rashes and hives etc. As a matter of fact, I had rash the very day I put them back immediately following the surgery. My costochondritis is back too, along with other symptoms.
I feel my body is definitely not happy with having foreign objects inside of it. I feel that my immune system is still attacking those implants in different ways.

Re Implementation
When I had my implants removed in 2016 it was at the advice of my surgeon who said that they were too old and needed to be replaced. At the time I was returning to work at the beginning of the school year and felt that I couldn’t replace them at the time. So, my body got a two year rest.
Interestingly enough, before I ever had implants at the age of 41, I had had numerous auto immune issues such as, dry eye, beginning in my early 30’s, alopecia areata, resulting from stress at 34, allergies, deteriorative bone disease of the spine, carpal tunnel syndrome. I had been treated for all successfully, except for my back bone problems which I still deal with, as do many.
Getting implants didn’t make me feel ill, tired, or foggy. I had breastfed three children and had worked hard raising them mostly as a single mom. I had felt foggy and tired lots of times after a hard days work.
I had always wanted breast implants but couldn’t afford them. My first pair was made possible by That Look.com , which I discovered on line at Dunkin’ Donuts getting my morning coffee before work. An ad in between songs on the radio. That’s how I found Dr. Lefkovits. That’s how I got my financing.
My implants changed my life. I loved having them. My health didn’t worsen and my energy levels were fine.
I missed having them. My natural breasts were still small and lovely, but I couldn’t see them under clothing and they disappeared when lying down. I just missed my implants, so I got them back.
It was hard recovering while returning to work after winter break, but it was worth it.

2 days after
I have had almost no discomfort after this procedure. The sutures are healing nicely. I have worn a zippered, front closure sports bra day and night, keeping gauze between the band and the body. I am very thankful for my results.
