It's been 2 months since I had implants removed. I'm very happy and satisfied that I did it, although my results weren't ideal, I didn't really expect them to be. So here are the photos of final results. The dent under the nipples is because of 3 prior implant surgeries. The surgeon did a revision on the left nipple but it really didn't improve it, so this is how it's going to be. There is some tethering at the nipple incision sites when I flex my chest muscle. I hope that this will improve over time.

Beautiful! Healing well. I had one of those green/yellow bruises - aren't they lovely? It will be gone soon enough. You look great. How are you feeling?

Yes, the bruise is slowly fading. I wasn't surprised at it because that's where the doc did the scar revision. It didn't improve the dent but I'm ok with it. I feel fantastic. Really, I have not had any regrets or second guessing at all. It took me a year to make the decision and have it done and it would be better only if I'd had it done sooner. It's great to be free, isn't it!

Hi Running4life, so pleased for you, in so much as you bit the bullet and your healing will continue. It really is great not having the rocks in isn't it? Ha ha.
Mine has been 4 months since explant and I'm still getting used to my new shape.
Hugs to you. [RS bleep]

Looking good Running4life! You have a lot of natural tissue (I am jealous!) and you are only at two weeks....it just keeps getting better from here on out! Happy healing [RS bleep]

I wonder how the appearance of your boobs has changed after your last post? Would be happy if you let me know! Thanks and good wishes for your further recovery

I saw the surgeon 2 weeks after he removed 275cc silicone gel implants under local anesthesia. He also did a scar revision on the left nipple, which has not been successful in removing the indentation caused by previous surgeries. Oh well. I'm not thrilled with how my breasts look but I am thrilled to have the implants gone. I can accept the results because I feel so much more normal, natural and comfortable.

You look great. Be thankful you only had small implants! You'll continue to see improvement over time. I feel the same way. I'm happy they're out but am pretty underwhelmed at what's left. One of mine is progressing nicely. The other (I had capsules removed) healed odd and has a one inch deep three inch long indent that's really not too noticeable because my extra skin puddles in it. I'd like to have that skin bee moved but the giant dent will be another issue. So see! You're good to go! Let's rejoice in our health!!

Hi lisa0714 - Thanks for your reassuring comments. I'm hoping for some improvement, but whatever happens, I'm glad I had them removed. Best wishes to you!

My breast looked similar and now have evened out since my explant on 10/21/16. Most likely over time the areas will even out for you too. It really helped me to be well supported. Also used light medical tape to smooth out the indents and over several days the indents went away. There are improvements each week and that will happen for you too. I wish you well.
