Finally Made the Decision! 13 Year Old Saline Implants...Buh-Bye!!

A Year and a Half after Explant
WORTH IT$2,750
I meant to update after 1 year, but a funny thing happened after explant.... I forgot all about my boobs! Lol, well, to be fair, I just stopped obsessing about them :) It has now been 1 year and 8 months since my surgery to explant 400 cc saline, over the muscle implants that I had for 13 years.
I have ZERO regrets about my decision to explant, in fact, I wish I had done it sooner. I am so comfortable in my clothes (and out), can sleep on my stomach, and am no longer embarrassed to give hugs. I love having soft breasts again and actually feel more feminine that I did with my implants.
My skin has really firmed up and I am not nearly as droopy as I expected to be. I do have an area of faint stretch marks over each nipple, but they are barely noticeable and when wearing a bra or bathing suit, they are not visible at all.
One wonderful outcome of explant has been easier mammograms! Anyone with implants can relate to how painful the process can be, with stretching the tissue away from the implant and the extra imaging required. Now my mammograms take half the time and I feel more confident that if an issue arises, the images will be clear enough to get an accurate read, with no implant obscuring anything.
Thanks again to all of the brave ladies who post here, it helped me tremendously when making my decision to explant and I am so grateful. Wishing you all best of luck in any decision you are making, and happy, healthy healing!
