Almost two years post surgery
WORTH IT$5,600
Love having my natural figure. It's funny reading my before surgery comments, I'd forgotten the awful heavy feeling I used to have in my chest all the time, and that doing weights used to hurt so much. I've turned into a really gym junkie and I've never felt better. And my boobs are travelled very well, still perky for a 45 year old. I have no regrets, and just wish I'd never had the implants in the first place!

Bra size is now a 12 c! :)
Just wanted to add my bra size. Before implants I was 12a. With implants 12d. Still fit into my bikini- go figure!

Wow!!!! fantastic results!!!! I would be soooooo pleased. Did you have the implants and capsule removed or just the implant.xxxx

Thanks msprincess :) I just had the implants removed. Only the right side had a capsule, but my surgeon is one who believes in leaving it behind. He said the body reabsorbs the capsule over about 2 months, that to take it out is a much bigger operation, and a procedure he described as pretty brutal. I know opinions differ as to whether there is silicone in the capsule and whether that is bad for your health, but he is a top surgeon and I decided to trust him. I do feel much healthier in general lately, I was always getting colds and infections, but so far so good. I feel like my energy levels are so much higher too. I would highly recommend having them removed to anyone who is thinking of doing it!

Loving my real body
So so happy I dd this! Just feeling brilliant, tonnes more energy, lovely soft natural feeling in my chest, there's just so much to be happy about. I'm back at the gym three times a week and started using very light weights again. I wil build up slowly, but so far so good, and I haven't had any chest pain or weird compressions when I'm lifting. My under arms where the incisions are are really numb, but I don't really notice unless I touch them there. Anyone who is debating about whether to have this surgery, all I can say is I'm over the moon that I had it done :)

Hi Jenniebeth you look amazing! Im still contemplating whether to make the same decision you bravely made or not - still abit worried and scared.. I mean if only i could be guaranteed the same beautiful results as urs! I was wondering if the $5600 included the hospital and anethesist etc? And also if you had a capsulectomy at the same time when they remove it?

THanks goldilocks, yes, I was very very scared about the whole thing. I was just humming with anxiety the last week or so, I do understand. I think in the end I just held my breath and jumped in! Yes, teh $5600 included everything, one night over night in hospital, anethesist, surgeon. I was also stressed about the money, but I now think it was the best $5600 I ever spent! As for results, it's such a lottery isn't it! Some people here have brilliant results, some have complications, and I can't really work out how you would know what your results would be like. I personally am very happy I had them in and removed via armpit because I think acutally cutting into the breast tissue, whether underneath or through the nipple, can lead to distortion in some cases when the scar heals. I'm only saying that as a lay person though! My surgeon said at my consult I woudln't need a lift and I had a fair bit of natural breast tissue - he kind of lifted one breast off the implant to show me (not sure it that makes sense!) so I'm guessing a good PS should be able to give you some idea of your results :)

I just wanted to say thanks so so much for all your information and support. I've been researching implant explantation for awhile now but it was your success story and positivity that made me make my final decision to do the explant next year! Dr Breidhal's first available apointment is in march so will hopefully get it all done by latest midyear. I too had the implant put in via incision in the armpit so hopefully if I have the explant via the armpit again the scar wont be much worse than now. You and all the ladies on this website are truly an inspiration to us girls who are in this difficult situation! And like I said before you look beautiful and I am very happy for you :) I will update you guys on how I go after I see the surgeon in a few months :))
