Getting Ready For Surgery - Sacramento, CA

Hope you are doing well! Give your body time to heal completely. Keep in touch!

Why dont you like the way that they look? Im so scared to get mine out but excited to feel normal again. I hope they get better and you learn to love them... :) Lets keep each other updated ... Im still looking for a PS havent found one I like yet.

It's early and it gets better as days go by;so glad pain is not an issue. I private messaged you earlier.

I am 1 month post explant today and my results continually get better :) when they were first out it was like my skin was real thin and floppy like my boobs both had babies and I had post pregnancy belly feeling and look in my breast and they were smaller than before but now they improve everyday. My skin is getting back to normal and the empty part in the upper pole is back to normal. I hope I see even more improvements as time passes. My implants gave me stretchmarks and I've been using a needle roller and aloe Vera and all natural lotion with vitamin e and c in it... I think that may be helping my skin to rebound. Maybe not but they are looking pretty good :) I've also been doing chest exercises to tone that area and staying hydrated. I think the chest exercises helped my upper pole look better because it seems to bring everything up a bit. I had to start out real light and still do pretty light exercises because I'm only 1 mo post op. Sorry to write so much but just wanted to share my experience. I wish you the best in your healing process!!! You will look great!

Be kind to yourself that exercising isn't too soon.

Good for you! Your preop pics look amazing! I can't believe your age and age of implants! Did you have the capsules removed? Had silicone leaked badly? How are you doing now?

In second week post op and feeling more discomfort than in first. Was not requiring the pain meds first week, but using them now. Does anyone relate?

Interesting that you can sleep breathing through your nose now when you sleep! Congrats on the removal... Must be such a relief!

Hang in there, positive changes will happen these next days and weeks! Keep resting and taking good care of yourself :)

Congrats on your decision! It takes time...LOTS of time for your breasts to recover. You will see..every day will be better than the last. Every week you will see results...and with each month you will think they are healed to what they will forever look like, but then with another passing month they look..and feel even better. The important thing is...you are YOU now. And that is the most beautiful thing you can ever be. :) Happy healing!

The best part of all this is that it is over!! I too was a bit shocked when I first glimpsed " my girls" but ladies on this sight also give me hope that all changes with time. Certainly not the look as we had before but do feel good that a foreign body has been removed. PS said that more delay would just make a removal more difficult. As it was they were able to remove EN BLOC and the rupturing that had occurred was all contained In the capsule, I am 69 and had the inplants for 38+ wonderfully uncomplicated years. Had surgery 10/1 so just a day ahead of you. Take it easy---I overdid yesterday and feel sore today so must take it more slowly. Had drains also and good now that they are removed. Good to be on other side and good to be just me. Will be lucky to be an A but know that I am not alone as I once thought . Many thoughts your way-- keep communicating.
