Breast implant removal
$16,805
Well... I’m back... 5 years later. After getting my reduction/implants I developed thyroid cancer, hashimotis and chronic lymes disease. I was tired all the time after my mommy makeover, to
The point I couldn’t get out of bed most days and falling asleep at stop lights. Then... I discovered BII. Breast Imolant Illness and have 28/30 symptoms. I will be removing my implants and capsules aka En bloc capaulectomy with a lift in just 10 days.
Can’t wait to get these toxic bags off my body and heart. I have been pulling for air since the day they were out in and I’m ready to breathe again.

Living life
I am 6 weeks today oist op and I couldn't be happier! There was a time there I thought I wouldn't live through this experience! But I'm here to tell you that you WILL!!!!
I am back at the gym doin pretty much everything normal and I'm so happy and confident. This has changed my whole life, physically and mentally, for the better . I also thought if never sleep on my side again or walk without pain ... But as soon as week 5 ended I noticed a huge improvement. Even the swelling has really minimized itself. I hardly notice it anymore. Here are some updated pics! If you are wondering if you should do this or not.... I say DO IT! 6 weeks for a life time of comfortable in my own skin was worth it!!!! ;)

Welcome to the flat side! You look fab! This is a wonderful site, it gave me the courage to go through with the op!
Love your before and after pics!
I had a mummy make over almost 2 years ago, my body changed beyond recognition, so glad I went through with it, no regrets what so ever.
So happy for you

Hi again, JLynn-- your review just came up on the mail that RealSelf sends me, and I thought: "Oh, my old friend! Wonder how you're doing now??" You're getting close to 2 months now...just wondering if everything is staying well now that you're running after your little gang again?? I had a 2nd surgery: multiple procedures on my face, 7 weeks after the TT/Lipo...it's now 3 weeks post facial work and I am hoping I will regain innervation to my upper lip so that I can drink with straw and not have it all dribble out!! LOL. My tummy tuck and lipo has without Q changed my life, and genuinely made life worth living again. You will remember I am a PT, and people have high expectations for our profession: trim, fit and young!! All I could do was become more trim and it worked fantastically! Two sizes down, and a lovely smooth belly, and my curves are back....MINUS the packs of fat that sit on one's hips doing absolutely nothing. I Q whether I would have applied for my new job were it not for feeling so very much better about myself. Hope you're feeling the same. I have enjoyed our friendship borne of common ailments and great successes -- thank you for being there for me!! xo Maggie

I lived through it!
Tomorrow will be 3 weeks! I can't believe it. I started a new chapter and it was a long journey but I am so happy! My 4 kids were more of a blessing than words can describe but the toll my pregnancies took on my body were awful. It literally train wrecked my awesome ore baby body and my self confidence was shot! My negative self image was really holding me back, even effecting my relationship with my husband bc all I did was comment negatively in myself and had a hard time being intimate with him bc I was so self conscious. No clothing for correctly and I worked out everyday but nothing was gonna change all that sagging loose skin form my 118 pound weight loose after my last pregnancy this past year. Anyhow I am so happy I finally just faced my fears and went through with this huge life changing surgery! It was a tough 3 weeks of recovery, and I'm still in a little pain but the joy every time I look in the mirror or skip on a new outfit makes it so worth it. The morning are awesome, flat tummy no redness. By afternoon I'm tired and the pain creeps in slowly and by 8:30pm I look like a dr Seuss character and my tummy lets me know I have done too much. Y getting nice and red and puffy and hot and painful to the touch.
I know this stage will not last forever and everyday gets a little easier.
My scar is higher than id like on my TT but I could care less who sees it!!!! It's part of my journey and is proudly tell anyone HELL YEAH I HAD A TUMMU TUCK AND I LOVE IT! Dr. Marcadis is a magician when it comes to breasts... I love my new smaller size and the scars are hardly visible after just 3 weeks.
If you are wondering should I do this surgery or not, I say DO IT! Every man and women in this world deserves to feel wonderful about themselves Inside and out! As women/mothers we sacrifice out bodies to give our husbands beautiful babies.... You earned this, you won't regret it!;)

you look amazing already! Your breasts look perfect. Love the swimsuit! Glad to hear you are doing well. I can relate to the tough recovery. I am still feeling it at 7 weeks. I wouldn't change a thing though, I feel the same way you do.

July 30, 2014
Right?!.... This recovery is ridiculous! Maybe the c sections were this bad but we didn't notice because we were enamoured by a baby instead of time and ourselves! Lol!!!!
July 29, 2014
Thanks for the update! You look awesome! You deserve to feel good about your body!


July 29, 2014
You ALREADY look like a million bucks and only 3 weeks post op! And I have read and been told over and over that it's not all settled until at least 6 months are past!!!!! Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So proud of you!

July 30, 2014
Thank you so much Maggie!!! I hope there are more changes to come bc I was a size 8 ore surgery and now after losing more weight, and getting all this skin cut off and fat sucked out I'm in a size 12! Lol. Makes no sense. I just have to laugh every time I try on something!.... Keeps me from crying! Haha

July 30, 2014
Hi Jlynn - W.O.W. You are looking fantastic!!! Those first pics with the bruising had me worrying for you (even though we all look a little beat up after... ;) But look at you now! Amazing transformation already only 3 weeks! So happy for you!
