WORTH IT
Having had 2 lots of open heart surgery at 10yrs old my breasts never developed due to a vertical scar across my chest. Here in United Kingdom I never got any help through the NHS. I was a 32aa! Three sets of implants later due to ruptures and capsule I'm 34gg! Chronic fatigue, pain, joint pain !!!!

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!!

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.

Post day 4 explant 800cc silicone
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!...

Just wanted to say I hope you are feeling better and congratulations for being so courageous!

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!

Well done you! Take it easy & get better soon. I was over the moon to hear your breasts are no longer cold. Mine also feel that way at times. [RS bleep]

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
