Hello All,
It's been awhile since I updated. My husband thought I was obsessing over my recovery and posting too much and it was affecting the my psychological progress of my explant. Which I think it a very important part of this surgery. We decided as a team to just resume normal life and wait to see how everything turned out. I am extremely happy with my decision to remove my implants and have been a happier person since. It is one of the best decisions I have ever made. And I have no regrets. Here is my 3 day pic vs my 6 month picture. I am sure you can see the difference.
Thank you for the support,
Melissa

I enjoyed reading your honest story and so happy you are happy with the decision to explant! You look beautiful and better than with the implants! You have healed great! Thanks for updating RS and maybe post again at 9 mo and your 1 year! You may still improve and think it would be good to see. Yay for you! Go conquer the world! OX

Thank you. It has been quite a journey.

You look lovely! As someone who did 'glamour [RS bleep]' I also got implants (500cc) at a young age. Now I'm a 29 year old mother looking to get them removed. Your photos really helped me see what I'll most likely be working with after my surgery bc our before pics look a lot alike. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!

I'm glad I could help. I am a lot happier in every way without them.

Oh you are not obsessing about your recovery at all. You strike me as a very well-balanced person with a very good head on your shoulders. Thank you for being very forthcoming about your past as well. In a way, I am jealous of your adventures, as my lifetime dream, which will always remain only a dream, was to spend a day with Peter North! *blush*

4 Weeks Post Op

Hi Ladies,
I hope you are well. Here I am 4 weeks post-op. Feeling more and more like myself everyday.

I will say the most important things are staying hydrated and moisturized I notice a big difference on days when I don't drink enough water or don't do lotion at least twice a day. I still have a tiny bit of bruising under neath. And I have a spot on the top of each of my breast where the skin is taking just a little bit longer to bounce back. But I can tell a huge difference since they were first removed.

At what point did you start wearing a normal bra? I just explanted 3 days ago and I am wondering when I can resume back to a bra that's not a sports bra.

I didn't start wear underwire again till almost 6 months. My doctor told me compression was best. I had tried on a couple but the breast tissue needs time to fill in the pocket that the implant leave. They don't look very pretty in a normal bra until that starts to happen. I hope this helps. =)
July 24, 2016
Should I be wearing tight sports bras then? I am wearing just a comfy one but I am wondering if tighter is better so the pockets mends back to normal.

Yes I would. That is what my Doctor told me. Compression is best. You don't want fluid build up. My nurse told me to keep wearing the sports bra as much as i could. Some women just stop wear bras all together and the results are not good. It's been about 16 months since my removal and they're still filling out.

How big were you implants?

Oh and I used the C9 medium support racerback bra, I still wear them =)

325 cc's. I am actually pretty happy so far but when I lay on my back they look odd. I am hoping that corrects itself over time and the "fluffy" process.
