Well I haven't updated here in ages, but to be fair, not much has happened. :) I've been in a really bad place, dealing with mental health issues, so i haven't had the energy. But on the plus side, I'm still really happy with my new/old boobs, and being rid of the implants, and my physical health has been slowly but noticeably improving.
I'm no longer as crippled by chronic fatigue, I've managed to get at least a little bit phyically active, which was just utterly impossible before explant, and I've lost a little bit of weight for the first time since thyroid gave up on me.
Still taping my scars, hoping they will turn out as nice as my first ones did. So far they are looking really good. I'll try to remember to throw in pics next time it's time for a change.

Two weeks tomorrow
Yesterday I went to my doctor's office and got the knots on my stitches removed, which felt great, and last night I could finally sleep on my side. Huge plus!
Over all I feel really good. The scars are itching like mad sometimes, because of healing, but I can deal. There is no real soreness left at all, and my skin has tightened up a bit. They still look so much better than I even thought they would.
My right breast has always been slightly smaller, and it still off, obviously. It also had a bigger implant because of this, so it's a litte bit worse off than the left, but it's not a difference I think is noticeable to anyone else, really.
I'm starting to hope that I'm getting some of my old energy back. Not a drastic difference, but I have managed to take some walks each day, and that's a huge improvement for me the way I have been the last couple of years.

So far so good!
Tomorrow it's been a week since my explant and everything has gone really well. The surgery went according to plan, surgeon didn't have to remove any of the capsule, and I have barely been in any real pain at all.
Right after explant my boobs looked kind of insane, like someone had rolled a bike across my breasts. The nippes pointed down into a hollow where the skin basically rested against mjy ribcage, and above the bandages was just a bit of loose skin. But I knew a lot would happen to them so I didn't let it stress me out.
I was a bit surprised by how fast they changed, though! Already the next they they looked a lot more like they did before my BA, and then it was just hours before they changed again and turned the way they look on the pics, taken 3 days post.
They haven't changed noticeably since then, and I kinda hope they won't. This is the way I wish my natural boobs would have looked, so if they stay this basic shape, I will be more than pleased. But even if they don't, I feel so much better having the silicone out of my body. Being small and soft and natural again feels great, and I look forward to recovering and hopefully starting to feel better and have more energy in the future.

Thank you! :D I'm really happy with the outcome this far, but I know a lot can happen to them still...

I know, I think the breast line can move up some to where it was originally. I hope that doesn't happen with mine because I like the look of them being a bit wider. Only time will tell! I am going to try and post new photos tonight.
I still haven't gone to look at new bras yet!
Trying to wait and see if and how much more they may change.

Yeah, that's sort of what I'm a bit worried about too. But yes, time will tell! Hope we do good. :)

Your implants were anatomical?
They looked round shape....
And you keep that round shape now after explant (nice shape)

They were. :) I think they appeared rounder since I had more tissue above the nipple. So the size and shape chosen for the implants was meant to compliment that. Which worked out really well. And I hope they will stay looking like this...

The surgeon told you they can change this actual round shape?
And come back to your before BA shape?

She didn't tell me anything other than that there is no way of knowing what they will shape up to look like after explant, so only time will tell.
