One year later

Just wanted to share a few pics and a video. Can't believe it's been a year already. While they aren't perfect they are closer than they've ever been and I adore them.

You look absolutely beautiful! I bet you are so glad it's over with. My explant/capsulation/no lift date is February 23, so you know how I will be feeling (: Sue
Thank you sue! I'm so glad that I finally was able to go through with it all! It seemed like a far off dream! Congrats on setting your date! So exciting
Thanks for the update! You look great. I'm almost 6 weeks post explant; can't wait until I'm even 6 months out.
Thank you:) it'll be six months before you know it. Lol
Thanks for posting so much!! I have gone through posts and no one ever posts past a month of two. This is very relieving! Would you recommend your PS? I'm in the process of looking for one, I'm in North Carolina. I just want to feel normal again!
You're very welcome:) I went months without posting because life is just back to a even better normal and I forgot to update. I love reading long term updates so I'll try to keep it up though:) I would recommend my surgeon! She was able to correct my boobs way better than I had ever hoped. I wasn't thrilled with her main nurse but thankfully didn't have to deal with her much. My surgeon was very supportive of my decision and I feel like she did a great job. I would chose her again if I had it to do over again. Hope you get to explant soon! I'm so happy that I did it!
I wish I was closer, it's a 12 hour drive for me to there. Your work looks great! I just really want these things out!!
Thanks for posting your pics. Your results are beautiful. I'm in the process of looking for a ps and I have become an addict of this site, LOL. I was wondering if you had a capsulectomy done?
Thank you! I was too! Lol that was back two years ago and there was only 400 explant reviews! I did. She removed as much as she could. Good luck with your explant!
Thank you!
Thank u soo much for commenting on my journey, I really need the support. I am not brave enough to explant yet but if I do I could only wish to look like u! Thanks for ur kind words, I really struggle with my ugly post op boobs
Oh you're so very welcome! No one should feel alone and I it doesn't seem like that review forum is as busy as we are here. I love the ladies here on the explant reviews. Thank you for the compliment:) as you can see from my pics with implants I'm no stranger to ugly boobs. I've never been happier since I explanted. They are far from perfect but they are all mine, they feel amazing and they don't hurt anymore. I wish I had my original pre op pics because I was really a mess then. I hope you are able to find someone you feel comfortable with to fix the issues you don't like and that you have peace soon.
