No I'm trying Naturaful cream but have heard about noogleberry, it seems to have supportive evidence to work too?!... All the best whatever you decide, but remember you're gorgeous already so any things just a bonus!... ;) xxxx

hi Jennyp0815, sorry late reply, well it's hard to know not significant by the massage probably has assisted not getting adhesions etc and may have retained a bit of tissue but it's not like I'm much bigger,... So dunno... ;) [RS bleep] but I haven't been using it both morn n night I always forget night, so it could have had better results if I used it properly, and likewise with noogleberry... May try that again... ;) [RS bleep]

Things are coming along nicely. They don't feel as "droopy" as they did at first and I don't feel the need to wear the ace bandage at night anymore to hold them in place. All I wear during the day is the Coobie bra which is fairly close fitting like a sports bra but a lot more comfortable. It even comes with light padding which I really like for a little extra shape since I'm so small. But I have to say... I am really loving my small breasts and don't regret having them removed for one minute. Best decision ever. I feel a calm I never had with them in. Yay! I am dressing sexier than I have in a long time because I feel so much less self conscious. What a great feeling.
I do have one question for you all- did any of your doctors suggest massage to break up scar tissue and at what point did they say it was ok to start doing that?
Much love to all of you out there!

I should add that the scars look a little bit prominent only because I just took the scar tape off so there is some redness under the crease because of the tape. The scars are looking pretty good.

Yay! You look awesome! I'm starting to imagine wearing some sexier dresses/ tops that I have and haven't felt comfortable wearing... I'm excited to be able to wear them without feeling overly sexual. I think it will be fun :)

It is fun! I was so self conscious with huge boobs and couldn't wear the sexy strappy little tops and dresses I used to. Your build is similar to mine and I am so happy to be small again. I bet anything you'll look great after your explant. And don't worry about how they look right after surgery. They really do fluff and firm up and even change shape over time.

Just seeing this in the nick of time ;) you are right... I can't worry because they will change so much... Your updates are proof of that! You look awesome! I would be thrilled to have your results... Pray for me! ;) almost there! 8 hours till game time!

BeYOUty, you'll be fine and you'll look great also I just know it. Praying!

At about 6 weeks, I started to massage...amazing how crackly they felt and then that went away. It still startles me to feel the "mass" where all the breast tissue was connected...I keep panicking that it's a lump but have been assured it's normal...and the same on both sides. I have my GYN check-up and mammogram next month and will be glad to also have this verification that all is OK!

How did your Mammo go and what did they say? I am still very confused on do you leave capsule in or not and does it really reabsorb; have heard no?? Consult tomorrow about explant.
March 1, 2016
Gyn said you can't have a mammo until a year after surgery...so I will wait until next Sept.
Dr Weston, my surgeon, had told me from the beginning that the mass I feel is all the ends he tied up there, but the GYN yesterday made me very worried and insists on an ultrasounds "as soon as possible." Even though I showed her the breast tissue pathology from both breasts on that day, she said "its ominous and needs follow-up." So with a lot of fear, I am scheduling the ultrasounds ASAP although my heart of heart knows that its just what Dr Weston said...maybe a seroma hiding in there that may or may not be absorbed, but worth checking into...reluctantly!
Thanks for asking... I was freaking yesterday but today I totally forgot about it and did not call to schedule...good sign!

You look fantastic.I wish I looked as good ! Well I do on the left side lol...had probs with fluid on the right.I am 5 weeks post op today. My doc said not to massage as it can cause more fluid, but I have read that a lot on here are massaging with good results....who knows, maybe its just because my right one isn't 'normal' yet. Though it is a lot better than the last picture I posted. I got so depressed I stopped taking photos...I will wait a few more weeks, I can only hope that the right one will end up the same or similar to the left. I had a drain on the right and a capsulectomy, so that's why the probs. Funny though , you say about your boyfriend and how you tried to hide them , why do we feel that we had to get the implants in the first place...my 'story' is different to yours but still , instigated by my husband at the time. Since I have had them out , even though they are small , they are mine !!! & I am much happier than when the implants were in...for the same reasons as you...I somehow feel like I am a stronger woman and when I meet my next , hopefully last partner...he 'will' love me ....as I am !!!! lol Happy new year to you and may the healing continue :)

You are one brave lady! I hope my new implants don't mess with my yoga and workout plans. Happy healing!

Please read what many of the women on here have said about implants and working out- breast implants feel soft outside the body but are hard once they are in the body. It is uncomfortable lying on your stomach which will affect your yoga practice. Depending on how big you go they will certainly effect running and weight lifting. I know many women that can no longer do chest workouts with weights because the strengthening of the pec muscles move the implants to the side where they become farther and farther apart requiring more surgery to correct.
For me as a long time yoga practitioner- the implants took away my feeling of wholeness, authenticity and serenity which negates much of what we strive for in our yoga practice.

Hey! Congratulations on an awesome result! Your photos are amazing. It's been a year since your surgery, and we'd love to know if you're still happy with your results? Did you give Noogleberry a try? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
The most wonderful aspect of deciding to and then having your implants removed is you have found a strength and belief in yourself that a lot of us either don't have or don't have the courage to find.
You have shown triumph over adversity.
I wish you well.
