On month 4, and breasts are good. Hyperpigmention has started to dissapear with the right breast hyperpigmention just about gone. Vertical and areolar scars are looking good, feeling soft, and thin. The horizontal scars are still scary as they are red and raised, still. The pictures that I took were of me sitting in a chair.

You look AWESOME! I'm looking into having mine removed as well, and your results leave me very hopeful!

My hyperpigmention is fading, thank goodness. Scars tend to be sore some days. I have mixed feelings about how the scars look, but I am trying not to judge until a year. The horizontal scar on the left breast is great;however, on the right breast, I am a bit worried. It is raised and red. My breasts are still peeling, and I always have so much dead skin flaking off. The feeling in my right nipple has returned a bit but left nipple nothing. I am not a nipple person, if you know what I mean, so it doesn't bother me. Overall, I must be patient and let the healing continue, which feels like forever.

Thanks for updating! We are on the same timeline for healing. My left horizontal incision closest to my cleavage was raised, red and just looked inflamed compared to the rest but I've noticed a huge improvement in the past week or so! It does feel like it takes forever but this will all be behind us soon! You have a great shape now and the scars will fade:)

Thank you for your reassuring words! They mean a lot to me. I love the result, but skeptical about the incisions. I viewed your profile, and your breasts looking amazing. Your doctor did an excellent job. I do not have another post op appointment with my PS until September, that will be the 6 month check-up. Thanks again.

Isn't it odd how ps all have different schedules? Lol I've read a few different times that incisions look the worst between month 1-4 so we are still in that window. Thank you! I think my dr did an excellent job not even considering what she had to work with! I found her through sandandpalms on here, she did her explant and lift. Her results are amazing!! Please keep in touch and let us know how your check up goes!

Spokane I'm glad you had them taken out. You look so much better without them. They really didn't look normal by the side view shape with the implants in.. Some of the women have worst shapes with the implants then they were normally. By the pictures of yours, they look beautiful and imagine by a mans view, would have more sex appeal. You look good girl! I had my breast implants removed the 23rd of May of this year. One had ruptured and the other was still whole after 34 years. If it wasn't for finding a lump, having a 3D ultra sound test to see if it was cancer and the doctor telling me it didn't show cancer cells but both implants needed to be taken out because the silicone was forming the lumps with both ruptured and needed to have them removed. So I went to see Dr. Wong, he removed them, I asked if he would take out the lump also I had found and Im glad I did even if it was only half he sent off for a bioptcy and it came back CANCER! If it wasn't for DR. Wrong taking part out for a bioptcy, I would have known I had cancer and it would have spread through out my body. Thanks to DR. Grady in Redding saying I had no signs of cancer cells but it was cancer. His miss up almost cost me my life down the road!. Sure hope he hasn't done that to many other girls. Now Im faced with either a Mascetomy or Lumpectomy. Not sure yet but having more tests this week to see if there is anymore lumps than the one I found. When I also had the implants removed, I had still alot of pain afterwards in both breast and nipples. ITs 7 weeks and still have some tenderness. It takes time I guess for the pain to go. Yours seem to last even longer with the pain. I Pray that your scaring, your pain will go away soon and the results will be worth every bit of it girl. At least the garbage is out of us and no matter what the doctors say that they don't cause pain, I pray they are wrong. I feel they are but God Bless our bodys to let go of the pain after all these years and be pain feel and normal again. That sounds good to me! Your already on the good result path a head of you. Take care,Judy C.

I think you look beautiful and your scars will heal up nicely! I really love that you and other ladies like you share every little detail (like the breast yeast infection). It really helps for some girls who may be to embarrassed to talk about it! Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

No problem. I hope more women share intimate details about their procedures; it is very helpful and comforting to know that you are not alone. :)
