Hello Ladies,
Today exactly 1 year ago I had my explant done and I can tell you it has been the best decision ever! I am so happy and my health improved immediately! I feel so alive, energized and relieved to know those time bombs are out. My body healed perfectly and it feels great to be natural again. Every thing looks like before pre BA and I have no scars! Life is great!
If you are thinking of doing it, do it! It's the best thing ever! Good luck to you all!
XOXOXOXO

Dr. Borsand is AWESOME!!! He is very caring and takes the time to really listen to your questions and concerns. He did my BA 18 years ago and I just loved him so I wanted to go back and have him do the explant. The entire staff too is really wonderful and they have been working with Dr. Borsand for many years because he is a great doctor to work with and for. I would highly recommend him if you are considering any kind of plastic surgery. Dr. Borsand was wonderful. He was very friendly, personable and had a great bed-side manner. He really took the time to make sure his patients were at ease with their decision. I would most definitely recommend him for any thing you may need.

Thanks for sharing your story. I have saline implants for 15 years. Was a 34 full B-C before BA. I weighed 114 when BA but since have gained a bit of weight being I am 56 and my own breast got larger too. 34h. Way too big. I have lost some weight already due to trying to gain better heart health. My surgery is Tuesday August 22,2017 so I am sooooo excited to have relief. I've been wearing tight sport bras to start looking smaller already,lol. You look great and glad you feel great. I'm looking forward to the relief of back, neck and shoulder pain relief as well

Hello dear, hope you doing well. I know this reply is late but first of all, I am really happy that the operation went well and you now living without pain and happy about your decision.
I got implants under muscules before two years when I was 33, I was C cup and now D cup 200 CC, but I don't like it at all and feel regret to take such step since I never been a fan of big boobs. and I did this based on my surgent suggestion since I done a lifting operation at the same time and he suggests that I need implants to have a good breast size.
Honestly, I don't like them at all not now and not even after the healing process, and really want to back to normal breast size. But my operation was very painful I can't forget the pain that I went through for a whole month. my question is the operation was painful and if yes how much on the scale of 10. the only thing that pushes me away from taking them out is the pain. and each time I think about it, I am saying that I need more time to forget what I went through after the operation.
Thank you and hope to hear from you.

Aloha, I had mine out today about 8 hours ago, and as you can see I'm up typing on my phone lol! So so far I've had very little pain, I had a bilateral explant done with a Right Capsulectomy, I'm having burning in the right breast at rest pain is minimal more annoying then anything about a 1-2/10. I did have pain when I tried to pull open the fridge door, lol so now I'm asking my family to serve me for now. I did take one oxicodine about 3 hours post surgery and will take another one before I go to bed just to keep the pain in check. What you don't want to do is wait until the pain starts and then try to take the meds, you need to keep it in your system for the first few days. (I work in the medical field). I'm going to be posting my recovery journey to help others the way this site helped me to make my decision so follow along and I'll keep you updated on the pain and recovery. And BTW my RIGHT side had a capsular contracture and at times the pain with the implants were a 4-5/10, so any pain that I may have with this surgery is OK because I know there is a end date to it when I heal unlike the previous pain I had with the implants....

So far I feel great and also surprisingly did fall asleep during my attempted nap! Yay! Thank u again for sharing and you look great!:):)

2 Months Post Op Explant and Couldn't Be Happier! :)

Today is exactly 2 months post explant. No more fatigue, joint pain, stiff neck, stiff back, or muscles!
Every day I feel better and better. I am walking every single day and lower body yoga. I still cannot do upper body yet as my pectoral muscles are still sore. I tried to see how much I could do in regards to upper body yoga and no way! I was in pain and very sore. It's going to take a while for the muscles to hear before I can get back into a good strong fitness routine that is the only hard part. I still wear a very tight sports bra because it feels really good. When I take the bra I feel my muscles stretching and it's very sore so I am not ready to stop wearing it yet. It just feels right for now.
I still don't think it has fully sunk in yet. Maybe because I had those horrible implants for too long. Everyday I am so grateful they are out and I have my life back again. When I look in the mirror or look down I look like me again! I am so happy to be implant free!
Best of luck to all you ladies out there who are thinking of explanting or about to. It's the best decision EVER! I just wish I would of done it sooner!
Lot's of love and blessings! <3

Today is one month post op and every day feels better and better. I still have some soreness because my boobs really took a beating removing the capsules. But it's lessening every single day. I can sleep on my side much easier, stretch more. I started walking these week and that felt fantastic! I will have to wait longer though for yoga as when I bend forward it still hurts. So I will need to heal more.
I did not post without bra photo because to me they look the same. And the camera makes they look very low and extending sideways when I look at the from the front they look fine! Either way I seem to look like I did before BA. I love my new old self!!! And no more body, joint pains. All the stiff cracking in my joints and muscles GONE!!!! Celebrating life again!!!

Congrats on your progress! It's so good to hear that they look like your pre-BA breasts. I am hoping mine will as well! Do you feel lighter? I really miss that feeling of walking around without the feeling of heavy weights on my chest. Never even thought about that before my BA. Can't wait to feel that way again.

Hi ashley_55,
YES! SO much lighter and my back is completely STRAIGHT!!! I was hunched over from the weight and my back was constantly in pain no matter what. I walk with ease, my back is straight again, no pain and I can breath so deeply again! No more suffocation. It feels liberating! All the best of success to you!

Hi angiecav,

YES! The anxiety was GONE immediately! And I think part of the reason being is not being able to breath deeply because of those implants. I always felt like I was suffocating and could not even take deep breaths. Now I can breath so deeply and the anxiety is gone! :) Also, the joint pain, stiffness is GONE also! Immediately these things were gone! It's AMAZING!!! I wish you the best of luck and success in your explant! You won't regret it! <3
