Hi, I'm back. Still trying to navigate the site so I'm sorry if I don't respond to everyone....I have two little ones and it has been hard to recover and take care of them. Not a lot of time to get on here. I had my bandages removed yesterday and I am very very small...I was before so I'm not sure why I was so shocked. Maybe because I have had huge fake boobs for almost 20 years...lol. But I'm glad they are gone. Maye they will fluff a bit and won't look so strange. Time will tell. My PS said my implants were huge and that they were way too big for my body. He said if I wanted a tiny implant in the future he would put one in and I said "no thanks". Why would I ever have a non-medical surgery ever again? Now that I have children I realize the only thing that matters is being healthy and happy. My four year old said, "Mommy can I see your new boobies", I said sure and showed her. Then aked her, "What do you thing", she said "Well not what I expected". Kids are so funny. I will put up pic soon.

Hi, I have had explant surgery.It was on May 29th 2012. I had saline implants for 18 years and was never happy with them.I had them in at age 52 yrs because I had remarried and my husband seemed as though he wasn't pleased with my natural breasts.So...like a dummy, I got implants. From the very start, I felt ridiculous.I believe to this day..that my husband got with the doctor and just before the surgery asked that they be bigger than I had requested.I started with 34 B's and ended up with a large 38 D. I had asked for a C cup.My husband passed away and I finally had them removed .Explanting is the best thing I have ever done for myself.I am truly me now.I regret ever doing that to please my husband. Actually, because of the pain they caused me..our intimacy went out the window. I know you will be much more comfortable now that you have gotten that foreign material out of your body.I send you my best wishes for a speedy recovery. This site helped me to make my decision more reassuring.I hope that more ladies will find this site and be helped as many of us have.This site is a real blessing. ~Trulyitsme~

Hello, everything went well. I have no pain at all and feel fine other than the antibiotics making me dizzy and sick. I feel like someone filled my head with cement. Can't wait to be done with them. All the pain post explant I had is gone and I am 7lbs lighter! That was a lot of boob. Anyway, I took before pics and will take after pics when I get the bandages off on wed. I will post them then. Overall feeling glad it is done and happy to have them out.
