Implant After Explant and Can't Wait! - Scottsdale, AZ
ORIGINAL POST
I previously posted on the explant forum but that...
WORTH IT$3,000
I previously posted on the explant forum but that got depressing for me because most women were happy not to have their implants anymore. I want mine back in the worse way! My story is, I had my implants exchanged in April 2016 for a better type of implant called the " tear drop " or gummy bear". At that point, my tissue and skin couldn't handle the trauma so I had to have them removed in order for the my skin to heal. I had them out on July 15th and have had quite a hard time with it. Shed many tears, cried alot and still have days i get so bummed out when I see myself in the mirror. However, I know the time is coming up soon and my skin is healing very well and my PS is happy too with my healing. My photos show 1 month after the gummy bear surgery ( 470 CC'S ) and the 2nd photo is how my skin just tore and couldn't hold the implants in. The last 2 pictures is how I look now, hence you can see why I want my implants back! I will most likely get a small implant, maybe 400 CC"S. So I am down to the last 2 months and 13 days till surgery! I wonder if there is anyone else out there that has gone thru this also.

You have such a unique and complex situation- I think it is great that you have the confidence to review and share your progress! I'm sure it'll will help other women (if not now, then at some point in the future!)
Also for what it's worth I think you did right removing yourself from the negativity of the explant forum - I don't think that the ladies meant to be biased but I think that we naturally default to persuading to our own preference when the mind is made up! Good luck and keep posting x

Congratulations on hanging in there! I'm going to go in for my first surgery on January 6th and I'm cautiously excited. I don't know how I'm going to feel, but hearing your story really helps. I'm a AA and I'm looking to go to a nice D. Were you under or over the muscle? I will be going under the muscle.

5 1/2 weeks to go!!! Want my boobies back!!!!!
5 1/2 weeks to go until I re-implant and I am so looking forward to having them back. I have had implants for 17 years and loved them. Had an unforeseen issue with the last surgery but am healing very well and now so appreciative that I had my implants.

Have you consulted with other top experts for their opinions? Dr. Corey is NOT respected as a specialist in this unique specialty.

Did you have a problem with them after 17 years, is that why you explanted? What happened with the last surgery?
February 23, 2017
I had no issues with them but they started to get saggy and hard which is normal after so many years so I have a lift and revision with new implants. With the surgery that caused me to take them out was because my tissue was not healed and it couldn't handle more trauma. There is alot to my story lol

How I have tried to look " normal" without implants
Here is how flat chested I am without implants, hence my desire to get them back in. I wear a larger size VS sports bra and put these gel inserts in, so that way nobody that I know ( except family) can tell too much that I had the implants removed.

Wow...I think you look great without your implants. Very normal. I realize it's your decision but having a nother risky surgery sounds scary to me. I'm sorry you feel that way without them. I pray you don't have any more complications with yet another surgical procedure

Thanks for the camouflaging techniques! Will you please share your age with us? I'm going to be 60 next month and my new boobs are my birthday present to me. I wish I had done this 20 years ago, but better late than never!
