7 Years Post - EXPLANTED! 32A to 450cc HP Silicone - back to 32A

As much I as I regret showing my face in the update photos - I think it's beyond important to see the extreme changes. My explant was May 27th, 2021 with Dr. Rankin in Jupiter Florida. The explant was perfect. . . no issue, and also note that my implants were NOT ruptured and were perfectly intact. Breast Implant Illness is NOT from ruptures - it can happen even if your implants intact. Dr. Rankin remove the implants, and did a lollipop lift (removing excess skin and lifting everything back up to it's pre-implant location). The staff at his office was fantastic, and he did an amazing job. Let me tell you what has changed since removal: Facial inflammation (skin, eyelids, nose) disappeared, white of my eyes when from red/bloodshot to completely clear, pain my spinal cord / neck / back totally gone, brain fog GONE, memory and ability to speak clearly was totally improved, my eyelashes and eyebrow hair is filling back in (harder to tell with my head hair, but that will take much longer to grow back thicker), IBS is gone (I actually did not realize I had an issue here, but it's completely changed since removal, so I guess I did), night hallucinations have stopped, I am able to eat almost all foods again (sometimes have a slight issue if I totally over-due it, but it does not impact me to the same severity as it did with implants), numbness and tingling in my arms/legs is gone, and I have so much energy (I used to nap all the time with implants). Ladies, when I tell you that I am SHOCKED that all of these things improved and got better - like almost immediately - after explant - I am literally shocked. Even my family in the few days post explant kept commenting on how my face looked. . .my redness when away, my skin brightened. I deal with that facial redness and inflammation for 3 years, and for it to just disappear within days is truly unbelievable.
Recovery: It's been slow, but good. The sides of my rib cage where the drains were was sore for 2.5 months. It still hurts a bit to lay flat on my stomach. I expect to see my scarring for a few more years from the vertical line on the lift. . . but overall I am happy with the shape/size. I still have a bit of cleavage, and I think I look great in a bra and bathing suit. I finally feel comfortable in my body, and I've been wearing swimsuits in public for the first time in years. Also, the drains SUCK! They hurt and were so annoying. I only had them in for 5 days, and it was really bleh!
I will try to check comments more often for questions. Hope this helps!

So much has changed over the last few years! In a nutshell, in less than two weeks Dr Rankin at Aqua in Florida will be removing these toxic bags from my body. If you are reading my review, and looking at my pictures - STOP NOW - it's not worth it. . . Initially everything was great. . . initially, I seemed happy with my decision.. . .but, about 3 years ago, I started regretting, loathing and hating my implants. Buying clothes, finding bras, cute swimwear - it's all so difficult to find on trend pieces that don't make you look like a hooker. Every.single.man stares at my chest - even when I'm wearing super conservative outfits. When I would go swimming (which I have not in forever), they stay cold. . . they turn into icepacks. It's like having a freaking icepack on your chest. I would need to go soak in a warm shower after swimming. Like sleeping on your stomach or getting a massage? Forget it. . . that's a thing of the past. Excited to get your implants so that you can go braless? Forget it - they are so fracking heavy and cause my so much pain, I am forced to wear a bra 100% of the time, even sleeping. Do you love having your arms be numb for no reason? I don't. Ready for the worst? I now have unexplained skin rashes, constant neck/joint pain, memory loss, total brain fog, food sensitivities (can't eat dairy, grains, tomatoes, meats, sugars, alcohol - y'all that's like everything), face inflammation (constantly having swollen eyelids, and skin irritation), fatigue, weight gain, and HAIR LOSS - by the handful. It's awful. . . do yourself a favor - educate yourself. . . Look at BII (breast implant illness). . . join a facebook group, read our stories, look at the photos. . . mold, ruptures, capsular contracture. . . all of these things are totally undetectable until they are removed. Please - love yourself - don't be like me. . . love your body. Do not put these toxic bags in your vessel.

Not much to report! They are still amazing, still look great, all in the right spot! LOVE THEM! I had some boudoir photos taken on vacation last month, and here's a few shots that show them really well!
