Here's my week 3 post explant update with pics.

Everything is going well. My left incision is still a little sore, otherwise I they are feeling fine and can take some rough lovin'. ;)

But, I, however, am lovin the fact I can walk around without a bra in a Tee or tank. My tanks w a built in bra are getting some good use these days. Still feeling much lighter and can comfortably workout!

And I am getting some muscles! Yay

I agree with everything Beth said, you do look a hundred times better. They look more full than before, the change in left is great considering you had problems there, but even if they don't get more volume they are happy, healthy and YOU! You can always buy a nice bra and make them look great in clothes, and your husband is the only one who sees you naked and he loves them. Win win for you!

You look much better post-explant!

My wife and I are looking at a BA, she was a B when we met, went to less than AA after kids Implants (her idea). I fully understand the emotional attachment you have to your breast. Just let me say from a guys perspective, you look great, the "girls" look great. Real and small is better than any implant. My wife has been motivated by your BA story and your progress.

Thanks for sharing your story, I was curious if you have any updates to share, how are things going? Did you decide to go with the fat transfer or leave things as-is? I am 6 weeks post explant. Reading others stories has really kept me going through all of this :)

2 Weeks Post Explant

oceandaze
It has been 2 long weeks- waiting to see some real results for my poorly deflated boobs. :) I think they aren't as droopy as last week and certainly not as wrinkly, since I haven't worn my compression all week. I am not sure they are proportional yet, the nipple and the left one still seems lower, but I am hoping to help that out with this exercise routine:

100 pushups daily
50 butterflies 3 days week
Lifting a 20lb dumbbell 10 times (increase each week)

I am including a pic in my A bra my week 2 progress.

I just stopped by and read your story. I wondered how your numbness in your arm/hand is doing. I had/have this and am still dealing with it from my BA 10 weeks ago. I'm hoping that an explant will help get rid of it. I didn't think there were nerves in the breast area that went down the arm. Anyway, I would love to hear how that is going and what your PS said about it. Thanks

Hey there! It had gone away that weekend. I was told by the PS that I had some nerve damage on that side; and I had even wondered if the numbness was a side effect of anesthesia too? I hope yours does subside with an explant, it would make sense if the implant is pushing on some nerves to cause numbness. I hope you see some positive results soon!

You have been through a lot lately. Hoping you can relax while you continue to heal. You have such a cute tiny figure (and sexy like your husband said,) that you look great without all the extra boob. It really was a lot for your petite body frame. Thank you again for sharing. Keep us posted on your progress as we all are very happy for you!

1 Week Implant Free

Ah...it has been one week. I feel almost like normal as far as my incisions and much lighter!

And my diet is going good. It's been 3 days to gaining weight to be healthier. Let's hope it distributes evenly and fills up these girlies!! I plan to start my chest exercises in another week or two more consistently. And hardcore in 3 -4 wks, with the help of my husband.

Have I mentioned that I have hardly worked out a day in my life! It is going to be tough to break old habits and was wondering if any of you have any tips to stay motivated with exercising.

I've taken a full body shot to monitor my progress to using natural fat to fill up my breasts. But I was reading some reviews on it last night and they say with time the become normal and most of the fat is just dead cells, which I would think doesn't do too much good.

Has anyone ever used fat transfer for breasts through lipo? How do you fell your experience was?

You asked about fat transfer. I had capsular contract and my doc did a full capsulectomy as well as fat transfer around both implant. This might prevent from the cc again. He did a lipo on my legs and hips and mainly inner thigh. But he only could take about 70 cc total and its really not noticeable to me. The plan is if the cc comes back again he will remove the implant and try to get more fat, mainly from my stomach to fill up a bit. But let me say lipo is hurtful , after 4 weeks I'm still sore. Good luck !

Thank you for your input about lipo. I am having second thoughts about that because I wouldn't like to 'purposefully' put my through that. After having implants put through my belly button (stretching the skin from the muscle), I don't really want to feel that again! It does hurt!! I hope you're feeling better and your results look great!
