WORTH IT$2,810
Well, I’m one day shy of a month post op and am feeling really good. All the discomfort is gone, I think the majority of the swelling is gone as well. My left breast is a little bigger than my right, which is new. My breasts were the same size and shape before my augmentation. I’m not too worried about it. I love having my small breasts back. I feel slimmer and my clothes fit better. I can lay on my stomach. Hugging people is a delight...no more water bags between me and the ones I love. I have no regrets and and so grateful all of this is behind me!!

Thank you for sharing your story! You results are amazing, and give me so much hope!
Our stories are pretty similar, my ex paid for my implants, which I deeply regret but have accepted it and taken this as a life lesson.
I have my consultation set with Dr. Bindrup in July.
What was the total cost of your surgery?
I am most likely going to need a lift since I have 500cc silicone implants and started out with a small B cup.

10 days post-op

I’m 10 days post-op today. My drains were removed post-op day 7, which was a HUGE relief. Recovery has definitely been more difficult than when I had my implants placed. My breasts continue to be quite sore and swollen. The incisions are healing nicely, the spots where the drains were pulled remain quite tender. I’m so relieved to have the surgery behind me and am looking forward to feeling 100% again. I like the way I look in clothes, the rest I’m getting used to. Overall, I have no regrets.

You look fantastic! I’m happy for you!! Are you posting any updates/photos. This is really helpful as I reserch my explant. Do you think drains are necessary? I saw you mentioned reading somewhere here about women having problems that went without. Continued healing & health!

Here’s a photo of the ladies. Hard to believe these were stuck under my muscles just a few days ago. Glad they’re out! I think the next hurtle will be the drains. I’ll have to wait until the 2nd because of the holiday. Hoping the drainage will be low enough by then.

congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you. I’m still in the process of finding the right doctor and debating weather or not I should remove my capsule too! wish you all the best for your recovery and happy new year <3

Congratulations on explanting! Aren't those drains just awful? However I'm very very glad I kept mine in for the appropriate amount of time especially when reading about the seromas other ladies experienced.
December 31, 2017
Yes, they’re awful! The only thing that sounds worse are seromas. How long did you have your drains in?
January 1, 2018
10 days on my left breast and 15 days on my right breast due to a hematoma. My doctor always keeps them in for at least a week.

Wow, I was hoping I could have them out in a week so I could go back to work. I’m thinking i underestimated recovery time.
to me the surgeon said that my breasts will be smaller than before :-(
