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!!!! :)

New photos are up and I've tried to get various angles, lighting etc... to get an overall view - and the cat! :)

Hi Lou, just got your pm
I went to my GP yesterday about the lumps, she thinks as I do that they are probably scar tissue but just to be sure I have an appointment at the breast clinic next Tues. Your update pics show you are looking really good :-) Your boobs look good under the vest without a bra, just like a twenty year old!! I was due in Birmingham on 8/8 to see Mrs Kat but didn't feel up to the drive so her lovely girlie Jo just said to ring and re-book when I get my health sorted. They really are a lovely bunch at that clinic. Thanks once again for pointing me in their direction [RS bleep]

That's good news but yes, have as many thorough checks just to make sure - sounds like mine were. Give me a shout if you fancy meeting up for quick coffee. It's great to know someone with the same experience and the same wonderful surgeon [RS bleep]

You look amazing xx

Hi Loobeedoo!! Thanks so much for posting your journey through this. I am just 2 weeks post explant and lift, so it is very encouraging to see your excellent results!! You look terrific and I know you must feel amazing, as well!! I see my doctor today and I'm hoping to get the surgical tape removed. So itchy and sticky ( my sports bra sticks to it!) I have been having sharp pains in one breast and I have less sensation on the outer edge of that one, too. I hope that's normal and that it will improve. And a big "Happy Anniversary" to you!!!

Hi Stringalong! I've just checked your profile - I had mine fro 23 years too! I reacted to the tape so after it came off the first time I didn't have it replaced. You'll feel itchy as you start to heal anyway but it shouldn't last too long. Yes, I had sharp pains for many many months and some aching a bit more recently too - all normal so don't worry. I felt some lumps and had a mammogram, ultrasound scan and manual check at the breast clinic but it looked like scar related lumps, which have since gone. Also, recently I regained sensation in my nipples which was a lovely surprise!!! Apparently the nerves grow back but it all takes time. You look brilliant! Make sure you wear a good post surgery bra like a MaCom or Z Bra so that you heal in a lovely shape. Happy healing :) xx

Happy Anniversary!!!!
LoobeedooAugust 12, 2013
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]
