Almost 5 months
WORTH IT$4,250
Hi all...hope everyone is keeping ok...sorry I haven't been on here in a whole but been so busy with life etc....well I am almost 5 months out now and think my girls are finally settled I seem to have shrunk down a bit from before...I still struggle with bra sizes but can be anything from 38c to a 36dd/e depending where and what type of bra.
I don't mind being a smaller size as I can now get into nice pretty thin straps and much cheaper bras so all in all doing good ;0)
I had a total abdominal hysterectomy leaving my ovaries in And am now nearly 8 weeks post op...so have been preoccupied with recovering from that...but so glad I had my boobs sorted before this ...so basically I have been recovering from operations for best part of the summer...but hey ho....it all had to be sorted so hopefully I am on the road to recovery.
The only downside with my girls is my right side is still a little smaller...say half a cup size maybe....but after looking up online I got a good tip....adjust your bra straps to compensate for any differences and yes it works so alittle padding and a tighter strap and they look great....no regrets what's so ever...so glad to be natural....love to all xxxx

9 weeks out
Hi ladies hope everyone is doing ok...just a quick update....9 weeks today since explant and I am pretty much back to normal....have still been wearing sports bras because they are so comfy...have tried a normal bra a couple of times but have ached a little after.
I slept for the first time last night with no bra...felt weird but all ok.
I will still wear a sports bra to bed a few times a week I think just to support my girls a bit and may start to wear some normal bras inbetween sports bra days...lol.
I still massage my breasts each evening after my bath and have just started using palmers breast firming cream to see if it helps a little...all in all happy with my results....my right side is still a little but smaller than my left but hey I can live with that....have included a few pics of my progress xxxxxx hugs to all xxxxxx

Looking GREAT, Slbaxter2!! I'm 9 weeks and 3 days out and doing pretty well. Still a bit tingly, but not too bad. Your incisions are looking great. I think your "girls" are shaping up quite nicely and looking good! I'm so happy you are doing so well. Thanks for the update; it's good to hear from you!! I will update my profile and add new pics soon. LOL, I keep saying that!! Soon!! Take care, hun!! [RS bleep]

Hi petunia53 thanks for your kind words and glad you are also doing ok I know you have a few bra issues to start with didn't you?.... It is. A nightmare...I am still pretty much in sports bras because I found some comfy ones which I have stuck to......look forward to your updates Hun...take care xxxx

Hi Slbaxter2 You look really good I can't tell that one is slightly bigger than the other at all. I am glad that you are feeling nearly back to yourself again and healing well and are pleased with your results. As Petunia53 said your incision scars are healing real great also. I am still to upload pics to my profile, I am having trouble with my camera, think the memory card is corrupted and wont fit into the drive on my laptop! Will have to borrow one I think! Though I feel shamed at how awful I look in the pics, I never realised how bad it looks. The asymmetry which I had before BA was still there but not so noticeable post BA but since CC I feel it has been exaggerated again, it has been squeezed into a ball and looks even more smaller than the other one, unless the other one has also got bigger I don't know, not happy at all. Am dreading what I will look like post removal also as watched a video with Dr Melmed on you tube when he was saying that most people will get a good result post removal unless you are 5ft6 and 105 lbs you wont get a good result! Im 5ft1 and 105 and half lbs/ 7.5 stone (I use stone) oh dear. Still I am not happy how they look now so maybe having them removed will be lesser of the two evils, although will miss the womanly shape. I liked being a 32C clothes fit me for the first time in years I could wear pretty much any top. Oh well Just hope they don't turn out too bad I guess and will have to accept how they will turn out. Hope you continue to feel better each day :)

Hi lilmissgb....and thank you for your kind words....I too never realised mine looked as bad as they did with the implants until I took pictures....they had really bottomed out ....I am so glad mine are out...and I had all the same fears....but I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised ...:0).... I was a 36/38 b/ c pre ba then 36/38 f after ba....which then went to 38g now 36/38 dd/ e in padded bras or c cup in stretchy sports bras for the support....very strange but defo have more breast tissue than before which I thought would shrink but they haven't ....they do feel like they have fluffed up alittle so that's good.
I am sure you will be ok honey...it's all very stressful and worrying I know but think positive....and defo check out the nhs route xxxx all the best xxxx

Ah thank you for your reassurance, yes it came as a little shock that they looked so bad as they did! Had I been oblivious to it or maybe I had a slight inkling that they may not look as good as they used to and just ignored it hoping it was not so until I saw the truth in pics and the camera never lies lol! Yes some women on here do seem to have ended up with more breast tissue after explant than they had pre BA, I prey for that whilst trying to remember it could take up to a year for them to settle! Thank you yes I will try check the NHS route. Will update when I finally get some pics! Thank you x
