I really meant to update before now, but life gets so busy! I am still so glad I had my removal surgery. Since I last posted, not a day goes by that I don't marvel at being able to lie on my belly or do yoga poses like bow pose without pain. I've gained so much more confidence and sexuality now that I am "real". As far as appearance goes, I'm happy that my breasts look as good as they do considering what I've done to them, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how much they've fluffed up! I'll post more photos, because they have improved quite a bit. I'll get them up soon!

Did you have them removed through the nipple, and were they under or over the muscle?You look great by the way.

Yes it was an incision under the nipple. The implants were under the muscle. The surgery was a breeze! Thank you, I need to upload some new pics. I'm much happier with the healing process one year later.

I am still so happy that I decided to explant! Best decision ever! I'm so much happier with the way I look. Thank you everyone for all your support and kind words. I've noticed a bit more fluffing and perking up since my last photo. I will wait another week to post an update with a photo of my progress. I can't believe it's been 5 weeks! The only thing that I've noticed that concerns me is that I think there might have been some minor nerve damage with my left breast capsulectomy. I've noticed that if I sleep on my back my left arm falls asleep. Every time. That hasn't ever happened before...of course I didn't ever sleep in my back because my implants were so uncomfortable. Either way, I'm sure it'll improve as I heal. You know what I love? Running down the stairs. I feel like a gazelle. Lol.

If you don't mind my asking, that seems a very low price for this surgery! Did insurance cover any of it?

Fixherupper, so sorry it's taken me a minute to get back to you. No my insurance didn't cover it, to be honest, I didn't check to see if they would. I assumed that they wouldn't. Anyway, it was a very low price. My Dr. is partially retired and only does surgery one day a week. Also, I had a local anesthesia, so that cut expense as well.
