Hair update...
My hair got super, super thin and dull with implants. Since explant it has been growing in much thicker, stronger, and shinier.
The photo on the left is with implants (my hair got even worse after that photo, I just don't have a great photo to show it), and the photo on the right is 9 months after implant removal.
Look at the amount of hair that is in the ponytail!
These are obviously taken in different lighting, but I haven't changed my hair at all - my hair is not dyed in either photo.

9 months post-op
Yesterday marked exactly 9 months since implant removal. I can't even begin to explain how happy I am with my decision to explant. I love being 'me' again. I never could've imagined that I'd be so happy and confident with my tiny boobs. I'm flat, and honestly LOVE it.
Improvement's I've noticed over the past 9 months:
--I feel like I look much thinner and younger. I've lost quite a bit of inflammation throughout my body. My face and entire body are less puffy.
--My skin tone is 'normal', and I look alive. I used to think my face looked dull and lifeless... now I have color again!
--My eyes are brighter
--My hair is growing in so thick and healthy! My ponytail must be at least 50% thicker!!
--My skin is smooth. I used to have mild keratosis pilaris on my arms, and that disappeared shortly after surgery.
--I never have migraines anymore. I had 1 within a few weeks of explant, and now I've been migraine-free for 8 months!
--I rarely have to take ibuprofen for regular headaches. They are so infrequent, and usually quite mild when they do happen.
--I sleep much better, and much more comfortably. Sleeping on my stomach is THE BEST!
--I don't have to sleep in a support tank/bra anymore! I feel so free! Even walking around the house without a bra is amazing. No more pain and heavy weight pulling on my chest!
--I feel much more clear headed most of the time. I still deal with some brain fog, but it's rare and not a huge deal anymore.
I'm not 100% healed from the years of toxic overload, but I feel so much better, and so much happier since having them removed.
Here are a couple things I'm still working on:
--I'm still super fatigued, daily. I've seen a slight increase in energy, but for the most part I'm tired all day long.
--Still battling with anxiety, although I've seen an improvement on some days!
My breasts are small, and not perfect by any means. I have a small indentation on one breast, where I'm guessing the scar tissue has tethered my breast to the chest wall (I'm just guessing) - but I don't mind at all. It's not something I'd go under the knife again to fix. Even with the physical "imperfections" I love them. They're me, they're mine. I'm the size I was always intended to be.
I have zero regrets with my decision to explant. I wish I would've done it years ago. I can't wait to see what the future holds!

10.5 weeks since explant...
It's been 10 1/2 weeks explant, and I'm soooo thrilled to be natural again. I'm loving my smaller chest! I've had TONS of people tell me how 'youthful' I look, and how much younger I look after surgery! That's always a nice compliment! :)
I've only had 1 migraine since surgery, which is a huge deal for me! I used to get them at least once a month, usually several a month.
The frequency and severity of 'normal' headaches has dropped drastically. I used to take Ibuprofen or Excedrin Migraine several times a week... I think there's only been 4 or 5 times I've taken Ibuprofen since surgery. That alone is worth every penny I spent on explant!
My fingernails are growing like crazy!!
I've had 3 periods since explant, and this most recent one was a breeze! My husband was even shocked at how 'normal' I seemed during my period. I wasn't curled in a ball on the couch, moaning in pain for several days. My periods are shorter, less heavy, and the cramps were totally manageable. I can't even believe it!!!!
My digestion is very 'regular', if you know what I mean! That's also very new for me... I used to have major digestion issues.
I'm loving the slow, but steady improvements I'm seeing! I can't wait to see how I feel in another few months! I have ZERO regrets having the implants removed. I wish I would've done it years ago!

Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
3998 Vista Way, Oceanside, California
I highly recommend Dr. Park! He performed my breast implant removal with total capsulectomy. His bedside manner was the best!!! Such a compassionate and wonderful man. He was very understanding, and very professional. His entire staff was amazing. He doesn't overbook his appointments, and always saw me on time. I never had to wait more than a few minutes. I can't recommend him enough, I'm so very glad I chose him as my surgeon.
