2.5 months out - still happy with my choice

Hey ladies, it's been a while but thought I should give a quick update. I feel like my breasts haven't really changed in appearance since my last update, and I'm still super happy with my decision to explant. I feel like I never had implants to begin with because this feels so natural and like the way it should have always been. I still realize though, that my breasts wouldn't have ever looked like this if I hadn't had implants to begin with, because of the tuberous shape of my natural chest. After the implants and my surgeon's dissection and then explant, this is my final result and I couldn't be happier. My husband loves them, and to be honest they are more sensitive and erogenous now than with implants.
I haven't had any issues with healing and my scars continue to look better. I am a 34C cup now, which was surprising to me, but it seems to depend on the brand of bra. Here are some pics!

Well, it's post op day 7 and I'm doing great. I think my breasts look exactly the same as POD 3 in my last update. I had my post op check up and he said they look great and that I am healing well. I will still be wearing compression bras to limit the chance of a seroma, and I can't wear an underwire for a month.
I have already grown accustomed to my new size and I'm so loving it. I feel so much more like ME! I love the way they feel, so soft and warm. My husband is really pleased too and he has said he doesn't understand breast implants and that they aren't worth the look to sacrifice the feel of natural breasts. I agree. I couldn't be happier about my decision and I really feel like I lucked out with the results considering my pre-augmentation breast shape.
I hope all of you lovely ladies are doing well with your explants, wherever you might be in your journey!

You look so pretty without the implants.

Looking good lady! I feel the same way, so happy with the new (old) me. And my hubby likes it way better as well! I think they must sense we feel better about our bodies, they probably find that very attractive. Happy healing!

Post-op day 3
gidgetzMay 4, 2014
Today is day 3 after surgery. I feel great. I've had little to no pain. The incisions are sore if I accidentally bump them but other than that I feel fine. I'm looking forward to getting the all-clear to exercise and run without those gel bags flopping around! I think it will be much nicer.
I'm really, really liking my results so far. Even though my breasts are tiny, I strangely feel more womanly now. I think it's because I know it's me, and I feel less like a little girl pretending to have breasts with implants, and more like an adult now who has small but REAL breasts. I think they are small but cute, and I can't wait to shop for new bras. Compression bras for now...
The incisions are feeling ok, they look ok from what I can see under the tape. I'm really hoping my breasts stay this way and don't shrink down! I guess I fear that they look like this because of swelling and that they will shrink to nothingness in a few weeks :) Here's to hoping!
