Almost 5 months!
WORTH IT$3,345
Haven’t updated in a while. I had a post op appt today and all is well. I did tell my doctor, “Ok...I know this is probably a silly question...but am I ok to go braless now and then? Cuz I keep these bad boys strapped down in a sports bra or bra everyday because I know that I was prone to sagging before.” He measured from the little both in the middle of my collarbone down to each nipple. He said there was recently a study of college age women who had never had children where they measured this distance...and the average was between 18-22 centimeters. I’m at 19 and 20. I said, “Well I’m slightly older than college age so that makes me feel pretty good.” He said, “Basically what this tells me is that you can go braless for the next ten years and your nipples might end up here (a centimeter or two lower) so you’re good.” I had no other concern or worry. So not too much to update. Love them little...I do think they’ve grown a bit...fluffed I guess lol I went to Victoria’s Secret to see if I could find a few cute bras at their semi annual sale and got measured...and measured at a 32 C. Had measured at a 32 B before. But that is Victoria’s Secret and I kind of feel like their bras run smaller...Boobie vanity sizing lol
I did get some cute bras though. I’ll see if I have pics of them to add. :) Happy healing!

Almost 10 week’s post op.
Tomorrow I’ll be 10 weeks post op. I feel great. I feel so much more confident in my own skin with my natural, little boobies. And it just feels good to feel soft. I can’t tell if they feel a little jellyish still or if that’s just how soft natural breasts feel lol When I think that they’ll prob continue to change for a year...it blows my mind. I’ve gotten back into yoga a bit but today will be the first day at the gym that I do an actual arm/chest workout so I’ll try to remember to update after that. Adding some new photos. Couldn’t be happier with how they’re shaping up.

You look so beautiful after explant! I love being small and I think you look aaawesome!!! Congratulations for your choice of being natural, and best wishes!!!
November 30, 2017
Bravo! I know it was scary, but you look so so so much younger, healthier and lighter! Congratulations.
November 30, 2017
Thank you!!!! I feel sooooo much better! It’s been the best decision I’ve ever made!
December 2, 2017
You look amazing! I am really happy for you having such good results!
I really wish I ll find courage to go through it all and eventually feel happy again. I know it s the right thing to do, but I don t find it an easy process!
December 2, 2017
I hope you find the courage too. It’s been without a doubt the happiest I’ve been in my skin and best decision I have made fore my body. There was nerves and questioning of course in the months leading up to explant but the three years I spent with the implants feeling uncomfortable in my skin and depressed and regretting/resenting was much more difficult than the process of removal. If in your gut you feel it’s what will make you happy...is beyond worth it. Good luck with whatever you decide!

I had implants under the muscle 5 weeks ago and I want to remove them. I don’t feel myself with them on me. Do you have muscle distortion after explant? I’m afraid of this ..
December 4, 2017
I do have a bit of exaggeration when I flex. But it doesn’t look weird like it did with implants. I say exaggeration lol because i can flex my pec muscles and u can see the kind of bounce up but they do not look strange. I will try to post an update with a photo so you can see. :)
December 4, 2017
Let me make sure I’m lear though....It might be strange looking compared to someone who never had implants...I’ve never seen any of my friends who never had implants flex naked.....but compared to the flex distortion with the implants....it’s nothing.
December 4, 2017
You are so nice to respond to me ! Thank you ! Does the distortion appear when you are in a bikini or just when you are naked? I’m afraid I’ll never want to wear a bikini Again if it looks like when I cross my arms
December 4, 2017
Mine was terrible with implants… To the point where if I held up my phone at the angle that you take a selfie… Or leaned on my arm just lightly you could see it through my clothing. And I have not noticed whatsoever that happening since explant. In fact I recently started working out my upper body again at the gym and even standing in front of the mirror and doing my arm and chest workouts you cannot tell through my tank top and sports bra. It honestly just looks (naked) like my breasts lift a little.
December 4, 2017
thanks a lot you really help me ! so you removed your implants after 3 years ?! And now, arr they the same as before or are they smaller? when you touch them is it still like jello ?
December 4, 2017
Yes 3 years....Well I’m a few pounds lighter than I was before implants so they may be a tiny bit smaller but I’m only 3 months or so post explant and they have definitely fluffed up since explant. So I imagine they’ll be pretty close...prob a bit smaller just because the rest of me is. They feel firmer now. Not so jello-y. It is crazy though how soft they feel compared to having the implants. A world of difference. It feels so much better to me.

After 3 years and you don’t need a lift ? I’m so afraid of explant :( ... I had BA 5 weeks ago and planning to explant in 4 days .. I hate my implant and realised I made a huge mistake with this surgery ! But I’m scared about the scars, the look of my breast after removal and the muscle deformity :( I don’t know what to do.. I know the best for me is to remove them but I’m so scared and I’m ashamed of what happening to me .. was your recovery quick? Did you need drains after explant? After how many days did you return to work? Did you scars is visible in a bikini ?
December 5, 2017
Oh I think you’ll go right back to normal after only 5 weeks.
My recovery was very quick and easy. I had surgery under local anesthesia and only took Tylenol for pain except before bed the first two nights I took half a norco. My scars are kind of low so idk if you’ll see them in a bikini. I don’t think so. But they’re fading fast and I don’t mind them showing in a bikini so I haven’t worried about that. I took two weeks off simply because I’m a hairstylist and wanted to give myself time to heal before I jumped back into a crazy schedule working with my arms all day. But I felt great pretty much immediately. Some soreness of course but I didn’t really feel that muscle soreness until the second week.

Did you have your implants under the muscle ? Did you have muscle deformity after explant ?
December 9, 2017
Did your breast moove easyly as before ? Are you abble to put your breast together in a push-up bra to make some clevage ? I read that Some women can’t do it because of the muscle diformity ... I am so scared :(
December 9, 2017
It just look naked ? Does it looks in bikini or in a bra ?? The distortion appear during wich movement ?
December 9, 2017
You look amazing!!! It's nice to hear how happy you are!! Your little bras are adorable and so are you!!

8 weeks :)
Realized that I’m 8 weeks post explant today! Did my first yoga lass this morning. Phew...that was tougher than usual lol
Feels so much better doing it without the implants. My body just feels a bit rusty from being off my mat for too long. I don’t think I have a ton to update on. Doc cleared me to workout with no restrictions army 5 or 6 week post op appt. Everything feels good. REALLY using my chest muscles is a bit rough...I don’t know that I’d even say painful but I won’t be entering any body building comps any time soon lol
Besides that I’m so, so happy that I made the decision to explant. I feel better. I feel like I look better. I love it. And am very impressed with my natural, very little, new-old tatas.

Yoga! I'm 61 with lots of arthritis plus gained 30 pounds after menopause. Thank you mother nature. My doc told me to start yoga. I've never done it before but he says it is excellent for us. I used to have big hard rocks that hurt when lying on my tummy. Can't wait to lie on my new soft naturals. I have a yoga video but haven't opened the box. Kinda nervous about it. I hope it isn't too hard.

look up Yoga With Adrienne on Youtube. She has a whole channel with tons of videos...tons of very simple videos for beginners that help you to learn some basic foundations and form and all kinds of adjustments if you need to startout easier. she’s amazing and it’s the perfect way to start! infrared on our new tatas! it’s fantastic:)
February 19, 2018
OK, I subscribed to her. First I'll look up beginning yoga for old ladies and go from there. I really don't want to start, not sure why because I love the way I feel when I exercise, just don't like getting started for some reason.
February 19, 2018
oh I get you...getting started is the tough part. u can start with the bedtime yoga! maybe watch before bed tonight. there’s not much moving. is more about just relaxing and getting in touch with your body to relax for bed. You know, a smooth, easy, not super committal start:))
