Six month update

WORTH IT$5,000
It's been six months and I really haven't seen much change. They are still saggy flat pancakes. I have a crease below the left nipple and a wide flat indentation above the right nipple. I am getting more used to them and still prefer my natural breasts to any implants. At this point I don't know if I'm going to have any more procedures. I may consider some fat transfer to fill in the dents. My life is pretty busy now so I don't want to deal with any procedures for awhile. We'll see how things look in another six months. All in all I still am happy I explanted. I do have options to improve the looks of my breasts if I choose and I love feeling so light and free.

Hi! They look great!! I would love to have your "flatties"! I had implants in 2002 when I was a A-B cup. Skip forward 15 years and they were a 34H. Explanted 18 months ago--such a huge relief! But I am still a 34E. I was hoping for your size!

Wow! It just goes to show that everyone's body reacts differently. I actually don't mind being small, it is just that my stomach sticks out further than my boobs now if I don't stand up straight! I wasn't expecting that :). I just have to remember to stand up straight now :) I think my posture has improved greatly as a result. See.. hidden benefits :D

Hi likingtinyones, thank you for your update. I have taken such interest in your story and am very much like you in that I had very little breast tissue before implants 26 yrs ago. I have mine out on Friday- yikes! So pleased you are at ease with yourself and I only hope I will be the same. Very best wishes to you. X

It was very hard for me to make the decision to explant, but now that it is done I am very happy I did it. It is such a relief to be all me now. Good luck with your surgery! I know you will be happier afterwards. It is an emotional roller coaster though so be prepared for some sadness. But the happiness will win out in the end. Keep us posted on your progress!! Sending you hugs. [RS bleep]

Hey thanks that's so nice of you to say! :) [RS bleep] yes, until I thought I was much better so started eating a sneaky bit of gluten n sugar n dairy...oh no, what a mess!... Wicked ecsma and pimples and headaches and alternate constipation and diorreah for a week till I came right, yikes, no way my body can handle it while it detoxes... Or perhaps ever!?! :(... I reckon I was so close to developing cancer somewhere because I had such massive inflammation... And sadly my bloodwork came back worse than prior to explanting, I think because of the spillage getting them out and toll healing took, but otherwise... Ok haha ;) [RS bleep]

Hello likingtinyones! Glad you are doing so well! Can you believe we are at 3months post-op already? Love the tankini--you look really incredible in it! Wishing I would of tried on some "tankini's" when I went swimsuit shopping. I dreaded being poolside or anywhere with my implants and now I am looking forward to it--just need your sunny California weather out here more often! I agree with your husband-the "Svelte" look fits you perfectly!

Three month update

Well it has been three months and I have seen some tiny changes. I'm getting more and more used to my new tiny flatties. I have an indention below the nipple on my leftie and an indention above the nipple on my righty. Those indentions are because the implants put pressure on my breast tissue in those spots and the breast tissue thinned out over the years. Not sure if those spots will ever fill in, but we will see. Even though they are not as aesthetically pleasing as I had hoped, I do like the way they look with clothes/bra on. I went on a little tropical getaway last week and spent a lot of time around the pool in my new tankini. It was really nice not feeling self conscious about having obviously fake boobs! I found two great tankinis that look really nice! My Hubby is fine with the "new, svelte" me as he puts it :).
