Two years post explant and trying to move on!

Well i got a reminder from Real self to post another review as it has been 2 years now since my explant. I have just taken some more photos so here goes...... I only have photos of my breasts on here, all files at home have been deleted, i dont want a reminder of my journey! Most days i still look at them and regret what i did. I am in two minds about going for the fat transfer, will it make enough difference to me? Will i always be searching to get my nipples back how they were? Am am throwing money away? (which to be honest i dont have!!!) To be honest I have now finally excepted the size and for some reason i seem to have gone from a AA cup to maybe a small B cup, depending on what shop i buy my bras from! I dont know why they are slightly bigger but i am now ok about the size. THe nipples--well maybe one day i might except them. I am not going to rush into anything at the present moment. I have more important things to spend my money on like saving for a new car! Maybe i am now done with all of it, i am really not sure. At the moment i am doing ok. Life is good, i have a fab husband who loves for for who i am, he is not disgusted by how i look, but he supports me either way if i do go down the route of fat transfer. He has seen the tears i have cried over these breasts, but now i am thinking, HEY! there are so many people out there worse off then me. Whats a couple of weird looking nipples anyway! So thats it, me up to date! Probably no more reviews now unless i do go for the fat transfer. Take care all you ladies , old and new out there [RS bleep]

FAT TRANSFER--ANY ADVICE!

Hi all well a quick up date, i think i am going to go for a fat transfer--I copied this from the surgeon's website:-What is REGENERATIVE plastic surgery?

Traditionally plastic surgeons "reconstruct" using near or distant tissues with skin flaps and grafts. However, the REGENERATIVE CELLULAR PLASTIC SURGERY with the necessary tissues for a reconstruction can be obtained using the patients’ own cells which can regenerate themselves into the type of tissue necessary.

This is achieved using your "own regenerative cells" which have the potential to differentiate themselves (transform themselves) in many types of cells (muscle, blood vessels, fat, nerves) giving the plastic surgeon another alternative to reconstructive treatment. It really is another DIMENSION.

---It is more than a fat transfer and takes some fat from my stomach cleans it and replaces in my lower breast. (in a nut shell!) There is guarantee of regeneration and growth but NO guarantee of how much but it will make my lower breast and nipples look so much better. I may need 2 treatments, cost per treatment 2000€. Has anyone heard of this before? I am 44yrs old, i look in the mirror every day and hate how my breasts look, i am excited that this surgeon can help me and def knows what he is talking about--now i just have to save up!!! I my be on this planet for quite a few years to come and want to do something to make my nips a bit better--hey i may even go topless one day!!! LOL

final pics for you all x

Well its been a while again....here are my final pics of how i am up to date. Since the last post i have done nothing but take vitalzym, i haven't even massaged. I hate it all now. I think there is a slight change to the breasts but they are misshapen still. I do not like my size...but this is me--how i was made and i have to accept it. I feel i have been teased by having the implants and what i could of looked liked--although the surgeon went too big, i only wanted a B cup. But for the years they were in I hated the falseness of them. So a AA I am!! Maybe i am one of those people floating around the universe never settling for what you have got! Well i am being honest and no i dont really like my breast size...maybe one day i will love them but i think that is highly unlikely. I just have to focus on my family, my life and that i have good health. Nothing more should matter.
And REAL SELF CHICKS OUT THERE ------YES ! YOU ALL ROCK XXXXXXX thankyou all so so so much for your words of kindness and support [RS bleep] I will never forget this site and from time to time i will take a look and see what is going on.
