Okay so I'm almost a month post op and I want to show you my progress pictures. I'm getting happier each day! There is still very little upper pole fullness, but I just have to be patient and let time do the work. I've learned such a huge lesson on this journey and that's just a part of life. I'm so much happier without big fake implants!!!

Almost 3 weeks post op- mixed emotions
lsquasterSeptember 3, 2014
*I will be posting pictures later today*
Anyways, it's almost 3 weeks post op and I do feel really good and optimistic about the healing process! My boobs are looking fluffier and better each day and I feel like myself again! They are still soft and a bit saggy, but I think only time will heal that. The body is amazing and I'm confident that my boobs will bounce back. The only thing I'm a little depressed about right now is that I still don't have much sensation on parts of my boobs and nipples. Also, I do not fit correctly in regular bras. I don't know how or why, but all I can wear are sport bras right now. I think it may be because they are too soft and all the boob is at the bottom- I guess they haven't fully "fluffed" yet. But other than those few issues, I feel great and look great and am super happy with the decision I made!

I am so glad you are feeling more positive now !!!! :D
so happy for you :)))))
See, we told you things would pick up (haha, literally)!
do you have a juicer? juice lots of veggies and especially cucumbers (which contain lots of collagen), and this will help you with appearance even faster.

Hi, I am so glad you did what you thought was right for you. I am having my implants out with uplift in October. Am scared as I wasn't big chested in the first place but know it will be better from a health point of view. Good look and I'm sure you will be happy

You look like you lost 20 lbs - very lean, athletic and beautiful without the implants. Life is about learning from our mistakes. Good for you for making the choice to take them out and loving your natural self. Take care.

forgot to mention... patience is key. I had my ups and downs but I feel it took a full year to see the true results after the explant.

Well a year is worth waiting if it means been implant free and not having the worry

Every day I do feel a very tiny bit better about myself and my boobs, but they are just so different. My boobs right now are smaller, flatter, and sagger then they were before I had implants. I just have no hope. I fear my boobs won't be the same size they were and that I will never fit into a normal bra. I'm so flat right now and I just can't get over it. Will they get better? Will I ever feel better?

Girl!! It will get better!! I had a little grandma boobs after removal! They were very sad looking, and it did bum me out for a bit, but I just felt SOOO much better in my body, and I was SOO happy that I was no longer in pain that it didn't bother me as much. YOU don't look saggy, you just look a little deflated, but DUH you just had a big implant removed, you should look a little deflated for a bit. All your natural tissue has been compressed lol -- BUT I can tell you, your breasts are still a very nice shape regardless. And they will fluff up and be happier very soon!! But you must give it time and be kind to yourself, your body has been through a lot. It takes a couple months for most girls to see what their results are going to be. And after that, it takes a full year to completely heal. Hang in there!!!

Thank you so much for this comment. I really appreciate all the encouragement and support I am getting. I'm impatient is all. I want my body back now. I hate seeing myself in the mirror right now!! But i can say I am so much happier without those big fake boobs!!! I know it will take time for them to be back to normal and I must trust the process. Thanks again for this I really really appreciate it!!!!

Don't worry !!! They are going to fluff up a lot !!!!!
I am going to have the same issues- my surgery is sept 16 and I'm super scared too but my doc said to be patient patient patient. Give it 3-6 months for them to get back to normal. I know that's a while but then they will be back!!!! :-) :-) xo

Thank you so much for this comment. Everyone is saying it will get better and I do have hope. I feel a lot better without my big implants, but just sad at the sogginess right now. I know it will get better. Thanks for the support!

Lady! You had huge implants removed! You look great already and the wobbly part will get better as they tighten up. You are so freshly post op you can't base anything on how they look or feel now. They are going to change so much over the next few months. You look like you have great skin elasticity! Do not spend another second worrying!

Give it time...Once you start 'fluffing' I'm sure you're going to love them Even better than BEFORE your BA!! I've seen a lot of similar pics on here with woman your size & after a year, they end up with more breast tissue than when they initially started. You're going to be just fine, they look great on you already!! Positive vibes will bring positive results!! Take care girlie!!

LiveNLearn is sooo right... I've seen the same thing... It's just at first they are sunken in and there is this concave, and then the insides start healing and the concave goes away, and the skin starts fluffing , yes, some even develop more natural breast tissue than they had before they even had implants... and the point about the positive vibes, that is the most important..
right on, LiveNLearn! :D

Well, I think you look great. For what that's worth. You also need time to heal. Try not to be so hard on yourself because you really look great.
