A week without the implants!!! Amazing!

$5,495
It's been a week since my explant and I can't tell you how happy I am! I just can't wait to wear a real bra and see how I will look! My pain has been very minimal but if I do to much I get very tired and then start to feel uncomfortable but other than that I feel great! You know when you first got your boobs you wanted to show them off to everyone? Well that's the way I feel now!!! My husband said I need to start charging $2 a look! He's so crazy! Here are the one week photos! Thank goodness my tummy went down! I also want to thank everyone for the support and well wishes it really helps to have supporters:)

He was very caring and understanding but also wanted me to be completely aware of the look if he didn't replace the implant. I am 4 days post op and I feel just great I don't think it could get any better! I actually forget I've had surgery because I feel so good! Dr Jeneby has been the Best!

That is great! I am sure you will have amazing results and healing as I am! I'm glad to hear that my journey has helped so many and so great full we have found this page! Good luck to you and keep me updated:)
I am scheduled for My exolantation 6/4. Thank you for sharing your journey. I've had the implants for 14 years and am a bit nervous about sagging and feeling uncomfortable. Have you felt like your skin in already shrinking?
I was very nervous also but once he gave me the sleepy juice all was ok! I really wasn't in much pain. Right now the only thing that stinks is I feel so good in the morning I do so much and then Im hurting and very tired! So I really need to just rest and take it easy. You will do great! Good luck and rest afterwards!
Ops forgot to answer your question.......they still feel the same but it could take six months to get back to normal but as of now I still have a little pulling.
Amazing progress hun z

So glad for you. My surgery is Tuesday. Super nervous xx

That's great! If you got his name from me could you please tell him! I want him to know how much I appreciate what he has done for me! Thanks xoxo
You look amazing and so great to have hubby's support. Enjoy bra shopping x
Thank you!
What type of implants did you have, For How Long And How Many cc's. What caused this to happen? The reason I asked is because I am thinking about getting a boon job but now I thinking twice!
Sorry boob job. Also,were they under the muscle?
Hey there.... I had saline implants, under the muscle and I'm not sure of the cc but the PS said they were way over filled. I had the implants a little over 6 years and soon after I got them I started getting sick. They don't know for sure its the implants that make woman sick, I think that for some of us our body just rejects the implant. When is does your body is trying so hard to attack it and causes your body to just start shut down. The advice I would give is would be no. You just don't know how your body will react. I've had friends that love them and don't have any problems but then I have some that have the same problems and wish they would have never of gotten them. Just be natural and love yourself for who you are and what you were blessed with. When I got mine it was after a divorce and for 22 years my ex always made it about sex and what I should look like and I always thought that. After being happily married for 6 years I know now that's not what it's about. The cost to get my boobs was about $3000 and to have them removed was $5400!! I think I could of found a lot better things yo do with $8400!! Best to luck to you and what you decide.

I have only taken one dose of pain meds today so I took one and now I'm in bed! So if you have it done don't do what I did! Here are a few pics.
