Update and goodbye :) x
Day 3 (post surgery)
Had my drains out (WOHOOO IM FREEE) and there was very little fluid. Surgical tape also came off and scars looked better than anticipated. But I have to rectify my comment from my previous post, the scars are actually not 100% in the crease, they are current sitting approx. 1cm from the crease on the underside of my breasts, but you can't really tell so I don't mind. Started wearing compression after drains were taken out and putting silicone scar gel on my scars twice a day. Went back to work same day.
Day 10
Went back for my day 10-day check up and to my big disappointment the nurses and Dr Rastogi were wondering if there might be some fluid collection going on because of the the very jelly-feel of my breasts - however, as they hadn't changed much in size since the drains came out, they wondered if it could perhaps just be the feel of my natural breasts. Dr Rastogi tried to drain them to be sure and there was NO FLUIDS!! YAY!! JUST ALL NATURAL BREASTS :D But to be 100% sure Dr Rastogi suggested I go get an ultrasound.
Day 13
Had an ultrasound and it thankfully showed minimal fluids (less than 5ml) which is normal and no reason for concern or drainage as it will naturally be absorbed. Dr Rastogi gave me the clear to stop wearing compression.
Day 20
I don't feel I've seen a dramatic change since the day of my explant, but my skin has definitely contacted and gotten firmer. I love the look and feel of my new (old) boobies and could not been happier with the results. I guess I didn't realise how much I didn't like my implants until I took them out because I now feel sooo much more confident about my body!! I need to go shopping for more V-neck tops :)
This is probably my last update here unless anything drastic happens :) Best wishes to all you ladies out there explanting or considering explanting - I am so happy I did [RS bleep] <3
Drains drains go away
I don't see too much change in the girls from yesterday, but I love how they feel - super soft like jelly and my body temperature!! I thought my implants felt soft, but they really had nothing on these natural little boobies!!
SO MUCH YAY
Provider Review
I had the BEST experience with Dr Rastogi and I am SO HAPPY I went with him. He is the loveliest surgeon one can ask for; very professional and super charming too! On my consultation he spent well over an hour listening to what I wanted, going over the procedure and explaining me all my options. I was pretty close to having a nervous breakdown leading up to the explant, but every time I spoke to him he had a way of calming me down and ensure me I was in good hands. The explant went smooth and everyone at the hospital was so kind and caring. I was in zero pain after. I am now 2.5 weeks post op and I am over the moon about my results. Scars are also looking good. Dr Rastogi has provided excellent post-op service too, which I am so thankful for, and it feels like he genuinely cares about his patients. The ONLY thing that upset me is that I had some additional questions/concerns the week before my surgery that I really wanted to discuss with him, but I could not get past the reception and was informed Dr Rastogi was "out of reach". But fair enough, I understand he is a busy man. No regrets and 5 stars from me :)
