Update to Handful Bra: OK, I know I am acting a little crazy here, but I just had surgery, haha. Anyway, I re-tried on the Handful bra's before sending them back, and they all fit good except two of them. And I have decided to keep the tank tops as well. I have actually lost some weight during my recovery period (I lose weight easily) and everything I own looks a little baggy on me now. I think I was being impulsive in announcing the bad fit on these bra's when in actuality, my body has changed a lot in the last week or so. Anyway, I am keeping most everything I bought. I have been trying on clothing with them today, and I look like my old self, but with my real body underneath it all. Wish I would have just gone with padded bra's years ago.
Still feeling great. Not much change to my breasts. My PS put the tapes back on my "cuts" because she said I wasn't fully healed and they would rub on my bra and maybe open. I can't wait to start exercising again! Another week.

Update to my love of the Handful Bra. I hate to say this, but I put in a big order and out of 5 bras, only two had a good fit, even though they were the same size. And the tanks are way big, and not cute. I feel like I went on and on about the bra's as I had received one and it was so flattering and comfy and cute that I ordered a bunch of them. Well, when the order arrived today and I tried them on I found they all fit different and did not fit me well. I would still promote this bra, because I love the two I kept, but just don't order a drawer full like I did, haha!

I saw them and man were they cute but 44 dollars a bra is a little steep for my taste. About 15 dollars for a sports bra is about the most ill do lol.

Hi Rosie,
I am recovering from explantation and wanted to know if you experienced any discomfort in your nipple/areola area. I am getting a lil discomfort sometimes and it feels like a shooting pain inside my breast when I move my arm.
Thank u

Hi Beba! I really haven't had any discomfort. I am healing very fast. I read your story. Don't despair, I have heard it takes a while for the "pockets" that the implants were in to close up, and then your skin should start to firm up. It takes time, especially since you had larger implants. Mine were only 200cc for the third set so my skin had time to shrink in the 7 years they were in (I previously had 300cc in them). I am sure in a short while you will start seeing positive changes!

Thank you for your post.. I am almost embarrased of the fact I got caught up in the hoopla of implants and went from a cute little body of 115lbs,34A to fast forward 5 years, at 43 years old, I am 130 and have 34d implants. I think about it every day, getting these things removed. They are so uncomfortable. I am going to see a dr. next month. I am just afraid what I will look like afterward.
Again thank you. Keep us posted

Hi Dawn,
We all got caught up in the idea that we could have bigger breasts! And trust me, we are all worried about what we will look like after removal. I was very worried, but finally decided I didn't care what I looked like, I had to get these things out of my body. You will make the right decision, as NoMoreD says "stick with your gut feeling . . ." Good luck with your doctor appointment!

Hi Dawn1221, I just had my implants removed 5 days ago and love it. But, watch out because most doctors will say, "oh, you won't like the shape if you remove, just go smaller". Mine said that, I went smaller and still hated having the implants. So, a year later, I had them removed regardless of what others said about how I would feel. My doctor was wrong - I love my little boobies! Stick with your gut feeling no matter what...

Today is one week since my explant. I still feel great. I am posting a new picture. The tapes are off and my scars look pretty big and ugly, but my PS went in through the same scars to take the implants out so I wouldn't have two sets of scars. I am sure they will get better with time, and honestly they just don't bother me that much. I feel like my breasts are settling in a bit more, not so dented looking. Still flat, but that's fine with with. There really hasn't been a whole lot of change.
I am feeling so much more like myself again. I never felt right with those implants, even after all those years. I had my little flat chested image in my mind all that time, and then I would look in the mirror and go "oh, yes, that's what I look like now, ugh" It feels wonderful to have my real self image back, and to feel like an individual again, not just some cookie-cutter big breasted woman.
I am going bra shopping today. I have my Handful bra's for when I want to wear my tight tee's and sweaters, but I want some cute little cotton and lacy things too. I am feeling so good about being small again that I may not even wear the padded bra's as much as I thought I would!
