Almost one year has passed since the explant.
I feel like I have never had implants. Always grateful for Real Self and the reviews that made me go for explants.

Dr. Vergine is a roman plastic surgeon who works mostly with oncology patients (he does a lot of post-mastectomy reconstructions) in a renowned public hospital. He performs also esthetics procedures in the OR of the private medical center where he has a study. Everything went exactly how he told me before the operation. Very satisfied.

A little more than two weeks have passed, I feel like I had never had implants. I wear a wireless bra to feel more safe when I go out or cycling, and stay mostly braless at home (freedom!).

everything going superwell. I only noticed that if I stay up all day driving around etc. I feel like my breast swells and feels itchy inside. Maybe it is because the pockets need time (weeks? months?) to seal. To prevent this I've started to wear a very tight sportsbra... did anyone recently explanted experienced something like this, feeling like there is a soft empty space inside the breast that need to be kept tightly squashed? big hugs to everyone here! v

They are larger than before implants, I'd love to have it tiny like yours (Kate Moss style :), I love tiny breasts :). But I am really really happy to have discovered that is possible to have a nice results after 11 years with toxic bags inside :)).
