Saline Implant Removal After 17 Years - 38 Years Old - Vancouver, BC

I can't believe it's been three months already! I can't really see any dramatic changes. Still waiting for the skin to loosen up below my left nipple. I saw my PS last week and he is happy that they are really soft and the scar tissue is pretty smooth already. He said the the scar tissue is tightest between two and four months and the tissue below the left breast will loosen up and fall with time. Scars are pretty smooth but are still red. My PS did such a great job with the placement of my scars. They are in my crease and the only time a notice them is if I raise my arms! I could barely see my original scars so I'm sure they will totally fade away with time.

I finally found an underwire bra that fits comfortably. It's a push up, microfibre bra from Joe Fresh and it was only $14. It doesn't dig into the sides of my breasts like other bras have and I actually can fill in the cups....even on top :)

Feeling great overall. One of the best decisions I have ever made! Totally do not miss my fake boobs. Not once have I wished I had implants again...which I am a little surprised about :)

It feels great not to think about my boobs day and night :) I feel comfortable now lifting heavy boxes and other things. I did a bunch of heavy lifting yesterday and never even thought about my chest! Up until a couple of weeks ago I only felt comfortable being intimate with my husband if I was wearing a sports bra (to prevent bouncing/jiggling LOL). The last couple of weeks I have not had to wear one and it was so much nicer! I even let him touch them :) I've been using coconut oil on my chest before bed but I started breaking out a bit so now I use it every other night. I'm not sure if it's helping my skin but they do look nicer/firmer after. My left breast is still wonky under the nipple (pulled in a bit) but I'm still hoping it will improve with time. I have an appointment with my PS next week so I'm going to see what he thinks. Overall I'm very happy!!

I'm feeling great! Pretty much back to all activities except really heavy lifting (waiting until the New Year). Still feel some discomfort when wearing a push up bra but it's not really that bad. Started sleeping on my side again this week. It has been uncomfortable until recently. My right breast has always bothered me more and, of course, that it the side I usually sleep on.

Not really noticing any big changes in appearance. The wrinkling/dimpling under my left breast is slowly getting better but still has some work. This nipple has always pointed down and never looked 100% normal, even with implants, so not surprising that it has not smoothed out. It may never catch up with the right breast.

I started massaged with coconut oil before bed this week, just avoiding the incisions. They look much firmer/smoother after. It really helps to smooth out the wrinkles, even if only temporarily. I'm sure it can't hurt! I even started sleeping without a sports bra at night. So nice to let them breathe again :)
