Looking for a great lotion/moisturizer
WORTH IT$5,200
Hi all my RealFriends. Happy Saturday. Feeling terrific other than fighting bronchitis and a severe sinus infection(2 wks). I'm asking all my beautiful real sisters... What lotion/moisturizer is everyone using? For firming? Toning? Etc. can I get some help, please?? Hope you all are well. Also i am wanting to know how long does detoxing last after explant? Is there somewhere I can go to see what are the signs of detoxing? I've been breaking out (acne), which is out of the norm for me. Would love some input. Ty. Xoxoxo

I think you look great - I personally don't think I'd do the lift if it were me! I hope I will look as good after my Explant!

4 weeks post explant
I'm feeling great. I'm seeing some "fluff". I will include a picture. Please excuse my tummy.... The ugly scares. As I had my colon removed DUE to implants:(. But I'm alive and healthy now. I love being smaller chested. I've lost weight, Ive had to buy all new clothes;) :). Some many advantages to being smaller chested. People actually look at me, not my chest when they talk with me. Yay. Im so happy. Ty RF.

didnt know silicone may have such adverse side effects:(( I am sorry you suffered. Isn't it fantastic to be able to enjoy life without these 'attachments'? I am having tougher time regarding my implants. I know they are useless but Im scared before explanting. I need to do some serious meditating to pull myself together!
Congratulations on your regaining life!

Thx Hun. I had saline implants. Doesn't matter if they are saline, silicone or gel. Still all poison in the body.

I honestly think you look great--hood breast volume and no distortion or asymmetry! Keep those girls supported and moisturized and they will firm up.

I responded to your PM. :-). I just looked at your photos again and I think your results are fabulous given how large your implants were They were stretching you out for 10 years...it takes a little time for the akin to retract but it does!

Yes for actually over 12 years. So yes, I am actually quite amazed at what they look like.

Ty so much. You have such kind words to feed from. I'm just in a tough spot now :(. Because they actually look decent for only 4 weeks post explant... I have a scheduled lift for December, and I am really wondering "if" I will need one. Of course my PS will say yes... Even up to the day. I'm just so confused and overwhelmed by this big decision.

I feel overwhelmed too so you are not alone. I have been struggling for several months with the decision to have a complete capsulectomy (en-bloc) or a simple explant. It hasn't been easy. Making such a big decision about your body and health can cause a lot of anxiety. Especially when we having strong feelings of regret in getting implants because of the health issues they created. I have made my decision now and even still the doubts creep in and I lose sleep over it. I guess all you can do is try to take one day at a time, take good care of your body (feed it well and get plenty of sleep) and see what you think in a few months. Many surgeons recommend waiting at least six months before deciding on a lift so maybe best not to rush into it. Hopefully others who have been through it can chime in.

Honestly, I am so glad I had my explant capsulectomy (en-bloc). To rid all of the toxins from the capsules from the implants. A full clean out... I guess you can say. Since I had them in for 12 years. I wanted to start fresh and free of any kind of potential infection from anything left inside. I hope that helped a bit.

That is my feeling as well. Even though it is more complicated surgery, more pain with longer recovery, I finally decided on en-bloc. Like you I just want to know I am as free of silicone as I can possibly be. Yes, it helps to hear from others who made the same choice. :)
