WORTH IT
Sorry it's taking some time to put these photos up but I have been trying to get use to my new breasts! I'm happy with the size but I dislike how droopy they are. I'm in a lot of pain as I have developed hypersensitivity in both breasts all over. My surgeon is still away on holiday so I don't have a follow up till the 21st August. Am I glad they are out?? Omgosh YES!!! Best thing I ever did getting rid of 800cc silicone poison out of my body. Started exercising again and it's great to do squats without toppling forward. I will need an uplift as the skin is very loose now I have lost most of the fluid in them. My surgeon had said pre op that I won't need any bras but after spending 3 wks walking around holding them I have brought some bra cropped tops. I am now in a 34B cup bra which I am pleased with but I must admit they are slightly padded. I'm not that happy with the scars as they are very puckered up and lumpy...something I will be discussing with the surgeon. My husband has seen them and he has been great but I still haven't let him touch them yet! I had an of day last wk and I cried all day hating everything about myself but the breast care nurse said that was normal. The photos I'm putting up are 3 day post explant and another 2 wks post without a bra in a vest. I will take some more photos of the scars soon. Please feel free to ask me any questions no matter how personal they are with regards to this review. We are all here to support each other....GIRL POWER!!!!??

You are beautiful and so are your breasts. With a face like yours, I am surprised anyone ever looks at your breasts. Puckered up and lumpy may pass as time goes by. Thanks for sharing and God Bless.

Thank you so much. A lot of women don't put their faces and I didn't with the 3 day post op photos. In the end I thought why should I hide my face, I am proud that I have small breasts and that at last this is the real me! I look happy in the photo and I want other women to know that they too will look and feel beautiful after explant. God bless to you too xx

It is so wonderful of you and so many others for sharing your story and journey, so a sincere thank you. I also live in GB my story is an extremely long sad one, lasting at least 25 yrs! Which I may one day write about and bore you all. I am waiting for an explant, but have to now first have my gall bladder taken out. I was planning on fat transfer before explant and again after, but have decided on fat transfer with explant and again after, my surgeon said I can decided at the time. Knowing from the kneck down I looked liked a boy, usually cruel comments etc I know I never want to be like that again, that is why I have been through 5 surgeries! I never wanted to be big, just to have something and quite happy to have worn padded bras. Sorry this all seemed about me, but reading all your stories just brings back all the years of misery, yet knowing there is and always will be someone who has suffered more. Hope your recovery goes well and look forward to your update x

Thank you so much. I was very surprised to see how much breast tissue I have now. I was an AA cup before my first set of implants and now over the years i seemed to have grown some as I am now ins B cup bra! after explant. I would love to have had fat transfer but my surgeon said I don't have enough. My husband massages my roll of belly fat at night instead of my boobs lol whist I am healing...pretty cool with that!! Good luck with your gall bladder op and keep us girls updated with your future surgeries xx

You are beautiful and tine will help with sagging. I know you feel relief gaffe having that size implant removed. I had 375 cc and it felt heavy. I hated them. You have been through alot of surgery so this will be a breeze. My nipples were crazy sensitive and stinging at first. Now they feel great. So sensitive in a good way. I got my sensitivity I lost back. You look amazing. This site is great and will support you throughout your journey. Congrats, you look so confident already

Thank you. The sensitivity is my main concern at the moment as it's quiet painful. Believe you me I'm not as confident as I may look. Everyday I ask my son, daughter, husband if I look ok. Today I went out with my daughter and I felt ok till she said " mum that top looks too big on you now your boobs are gone"! That was it, I just wanted to go home as I felt everybody must think the same...so silly!

I am betting you look amazing still. I hope you are feeling better. You looj so full of life and beautiful. I bet those heavy implants did impact working out. I am so happy for you. The scaring and skin will retract more over time. You look amazing. Thank you, and good luck. Xxxx

Hi everyone, as you know I had my explant surgery 4days ago. Feeling very sore and am struggling to do daily tasks. Right side had a contracted capsular and left side was fine. Prior to surgery MRI scan showed no rupture but when surgeon removed left implant the one I never had problems with he found it was ruptured!. Had drains both sides but had to stay in 3 nights as left drain kept filling up. Came home yesterday and like I said I'm feeling very tender and walking around holding my tiny deflated breasts, as they still have some fluid in them which I have to keep an eye on. I saw a breast care nurse before I left hospital and she gave me lots of info.. cried for the first time!. None of my clothes fit me anymore !! Please don't get me wrong, I am so glad they are out. My surgeon said I will defiantly need a lift and something else put in. Yes to Lift but No to Implants. Don't care if I'm small, they may be filled with fluid at moment but they feel so lovely and natural and not Cold anymore. I will put some new photos up. Hopefully I will feel a lot better once the swelling goes down, it's the muscle that hurts the most! So glad that crap is out! Let's wait and see if all my joint pain and chronic fatigue gets better!...

Thank you. I'm feeling a little better today and managed a shower on my own. I keep looking and feeling my boobs and there seems to be about a small handful each side. I don't know if this is still fluid and swelling but it would be nice to think I had a little than nothing at all. I think this site is great, it certainly has helped me go through this transition in my life!

I haven't had the courage to put post photos up. I'm ok with the size, Infact I have more than I ever started with 26yrs ago! It's 22 days post surgery and my surgeon is still away on holiday!! so have not been for my follow up yet. I'm in a lot of pain with hypersensitivity of the sensory nerves all over both breasts which I'm told is normal and will last around 3 months. I will put some photos up now x

Scared but can't wait to get rid of the pain. Worried how my husband will react as he has never seen me without implants!!
July 30, 2015
My husband has never seen me without them either. It's pretty scary to think what it will be like but our health is the most important thing.
