Hi All,

Well it's two years now since my op and I'm still really happy. There are some little imperfections, some visible scars, a little tethering etc... but I'm over the moon! I'm still amazed by the results and would recommend my surgeon to anyone! It's given me a new lease of life! Good luck in all your explant surgeries and thank you for the "Thank Yous" too. If I've helped in anyway then that's brilliant. I know that I found this site incredibly reassuring when I was going through my experience - you'll make some good connections and have great support here. Thank you to everyone who helped me - especially my fellow 2012 explant friends :)
Love to you all, Loobedoo [RS bleep]

I'm probably a realistic example of a woman after having explant and lift - throughout the process and now one year on. I still have scars but they are getting better, I have my wrinkles lol but there you are :) I'm no spring chicken but I feel HEALTHIER THAN EVER and completely ME!!!! It's definitely been a new beginning for me and if these can help anyone in any way then that's amazing! Thank you to all the girls here I'll always remember the Summer of 2012 Explanters who shared this journey, with so much love and gratitude. THANK YOU!!!! :)

Happy Anniversary!!!!

Well it's one year since having my explant and I still know it was the best decision I ever made! There's not a great deal of change visually - scars are getting a bit more faint. I'll try to upload some current photos later. Thank you all for your support and encouragement throughout this experience. I can't tell you how much it helped as I don't know anyone personally who has had implants, so all your comments and advice helped to allay any of my fears.

Thank you again and all the best to all you lovely ladies on your journeys!

Remember, time is your friend and take it easy!

Lots of love, Loobeedoo [RS bleep]

I had previous surgery with this surgeon in 2001 and I appreciated her holistic approach, attention to the best aesthetic outcome and attention to my concerns. She was then working for the NHS. When I decided to explant, the NHS offered free treatment (explant only) as I had always been in their care or alternatively, the consultant's recommendation was to pay him for explant and re-implant with larger ones.I decided that if I was to pay then I would want someone I had complete faith in. My gut reaction was to find my appointment cards from 2001 and deliberately search for that surgeon as I trusted her judgement. I did NOT want more implants!!! I told her my fear of having no tissue left and she put my mind at rest and assured me that although I'd be small, explant and uplift would be possible. At no time did she talk me into having more implants. It's the best decision I've ever made and I thoroughly recommend her and her team.
