Got Them out (After 24 Years)!

Hi all! This post is for any women who might still have an opportunity to have children, whether they are thinking about implanting or explanting. I had a baby before implants and my boobs got HUGE. Got small implants, had a baby and nurses successfully. Had to replace those (225 cc's) and got talked into going bigger (425cc ' s - are you kidding me? Hated them!) Had twins, and another baby: milk duct and let down issues, no nursing, had to use breast pump exclusively. Had to have surgery to get an egg sized clogged milk duct removed. Got implants removed; got pregnant 6 months later. Had some milk supply issues in one of my breasts, but conquered it and am still nursing my 10 month old. Can you get any more stories than that? Lol. So my boobs got huge during pregnancy, just like most women, but when you add implants to that your boobs become so huge that it is unbearable. Mine would practically choke me when I laid in my back. But the absolute worst part was the amount of stretching that happened. My natural B cups stretched to a size that was wayyyyyy bigger than a double D - in fact, I couldn't find any bras that would fit. It was an awful experience. I am better now! Hahaha - but it is a reality when implants are put in at a phase in a woman's life when their thoughts don't dwell on pregnancy, but simply to look good in a bikini without bra padding. Here is a picture that I took yesterday. I am wearing my same surgical bra as one of my earlier review pictures. It is morning and I hadn't nursed my little one yet. They are pretty big compared to my explant pictures. My size fluctuates during the day, but no matter- they are natural ;)

So, my boobs are still making milk and are larger than when I had them removed. No since putting pictures of them up, but will when I wean baby. I am still VERY happy that I don't have implants and really love being my 'Real Self' now. I never was a big-boob girl. Just didn't like that they were different sizes way back when. I am healing from a tummy tuck (had 6 kids you know ;) so I am on Real Self a little more often now. This board is so helpful and encouraging - it really helps when a woman is deciding whether or not to get her implants removed. You gals are great!
