Surgery tomorrow!

DDbegoneJanuary 7, 2015
After a cancelled surgery this summer (I was freaking out) I've booked my surgery again. I'll be implant free and back to natural at 730am tomorrow. I'm nervous about the outcome and recovery period. I'm curious about your recovery time was. Driving? Back to work? I'm off until Monday and resuming light duties only.

DDbegone... Good luck with your surgery today. I'm only 48 hours ahead of you and the explant was much better compared to the implant surgery. I was told I could drive after 4 days, so I think you'll be fine for Monday. I was very pleasantly surprised with my result. Sending love x

I hope that you are ok. You will probably experience very little discomfort after op. Take care och heal well.

Good luck. I think at 35 yrs. old your skin will be fine, best time to take them out!!! I liked my small breasts, never had implants, when you get older the grow!! Now I'm not happy with them they are 36D, I think larger Breasts are uncomfortable. And they get sweaty easily. You're doing the right thing, with mammograms etc.

I'm almost six weeks post explant. How did your surgery go?

Successful consultation

After meeting with the doctor this afternoon I'm still feeling anxious and nervous. I'm only having the implants removed - no lift. I'm trying to be optimistic about the outcome but still freaking out a lot :(

I'm feeling much The same way waiting... nervous... On and off doubts..I have to keep reminding myself of my reasons and than I know I'm doing the right thing it's still hard though I'm scheduled for 20 June on a sidenote I also had my implants put in via the armpit but they are getting removed in the fold I guess it's a lot simpler and faster recovery

You will do fine, no need to worry, no lift & do not remove the capsule. I went out to dinner, right after explant, never took a pain pill and did it under local. Good luck in your decision & stop by and ck out my story. Your going to be so much happier without them.

Recovery??

DDbegoneMay 17, 2014
What is the average recovery time post explant?? Mine are under the muscle. I remember the pain of recovery after the implant being burning and really itchy. I think I drove a week after.. (My original incision was thru my armpit if that helps?)

Hi - I had 405cc saline under the muscle implants removed last week (original incision was also through the arm pits.) Please see my review for details & pictures. The recovery is a breeze compared to the BA (I drove myself to the follow up visit the very next day.) Good luck with your consult.

Recovery for removal w no lift is like a day, unless you have drains...then it's more like 4-5; but nothing as painful as the implant process

I had my submuscular implants out yesterday and it is fine. Nothing like the implant. I had a GA but was up and perky in no time. Some minor discomfort around the incisions but manageable with regular panadol. I'm just resting today but I'm mobile - making my lunch, hot drinks, etc.
