So it's been a year and a month since I had my implants removed and I am still happy with my decision to get those giant things out of me. I am much happier with the way I look with clothes on, I love it, but to tell the truth I've become quite self conscious naked or in a bikini. Obviously they are saggy but my nipples were so stretched out from the implants that now they are wrinkly. I keep remembering my PS advising me to get a small implant and sometimes I wonder if that's what I should have done. I have no problems with the size just what they look like and I definitely don't regret having my implants removed. Hopefully time will allow me to be more comfortable with my new body.

You look beautiful. I think we have such a false idea of how boobs, nipples look. If we had a book of 1,000 normal people boobs we would find such diversity - wrinkled nipples in natural women. I am sure a guy naked with you would only see the gorgeous body and face!

I think they look great. Please don't get another implant. If you are worried about the areola you could get a little revision to remove the wrinkled/extra portion and still maintain your natural beautiful breasts.

You sound more secure about your decision to remove the implants now. Try not to be too concerned about the "caving in" if the areola. This is a really common breast characteristic as is inverted nipples (which I used to have). I think your natural breasts are beautiful, and your story helps women realize that removing the implants is an important choice that can have a positive outcome. I'm sorry that your mother pressured you into it in the first place, that is quite unfortunate. I bet it feels awesome to be able to wear tight shirts without a bra! I've never been able to do that, but always dreamed about it. I hope you are enjoying your natural look and feel, and I wish you the best! :)

I agree with jbchicago. Please don't get another set of implants. They look totally beautiful as is! If you really want a nipple revision, though, I would definitely recommend waiting until after you have any children, that is, if you think there is even a small chance that you'll have children. They can change a lot on their own with pregnancy and/or breastfeeding. I think my nipples are going to be doing the same thing. The implants really stretched them out. Once I get the doctor's okay, I will probably try massage twice a day for several months to see if that helps. And as far as accepting my imperfect breasts goes, it took breastfeeding for me to have that 'aha' moment. They do have a much more important and amazing purpose than just looks! Who knew? :)

Whoa, I can't believe it's been almost three months. I've meant to give an update but have been really busy. My breasts fluffed up a bit and were a 32B by 4 weeks, since then I have started training for a marathon and have lost a little weight so they're down to an A now. I am mostly happy with how they look, a little droopy and my nipples cave in when they aren't hard but I really can't be bothered. Overall I am very happy with my decision, I'm able to exercise, sleep on my stomach, wear form fitting clothes without feeling pornographic, and not that I find validation in male attention but I haven't had any problems in that department. Posting some photos from 4 weeks and from today.

Looking good! It is really nice to see updates and pictures months later, as it shows how things continue to heal and change. I am just a few days away from explanting and its good to know the immediate after results aren't final. Good luck with your marathon! Won't it be nice not to have those implants bouncing for 26 miles? :) got to love real boobs.

Good luck with your surgery I can't stress enough how much they will change within the first month let alone the first six. Patience is important but it doesn't mean you can't cry about it. I think all the crying I did the first week helped me get on with my life. Exercising without them is a breeze!

Day 10:
I want to thank everyone for their support, the first week was really difficult but I am feeling a lot better. I am now around family and friends and feeling more comfortable with my new body. I don't have much pain, just occasional aches and the incisions are a little sore and itchy.

My breasts are changing every day, they are fuller than the first days but all of the volume is all below the nipple. I'm posting new photos which look better/fuller than they actually are but overall I am satisfied with the way things are progressing.
