Today I had a total capsulectomy with implant removal for my second set of 250 cc silicone over-the-muscle implants. Surgery lasted about 2 hours with general anesthesia. I was at the surgery center for about 4.5 hours.
I was happy with my implants, which took me from 32A to 32C. But, let's face it, at my age, having big, round books just doesn't look natural. They were soft, but I was still anxious about hugging people because they were so "out there." Also, I had a rupture scare, which turned out to be a false alarm. In retrospect, tha t is probably a good thing because it helped me not be tempted to replace rather remove. I'd like to think I am past "needing" the implants to feel okay about my body. Still not sure, though. I guess we'll see when the wrap comes off. I've got some photos to most but have already lost this once trying to add them, so I'll do it separately.

Not too bad

Pre-op, items I've been using to condition my skin, post-op . I hope the photos don't post upside down. ..having trouble importing them. Pain isn't too bad. I peeked into the dressings and wondered what the little red thing on my breastfeeding was. Then I realized it was my nipple. GAAAH!

Hey..... Well done.
How are you now?
I actually think you've had a great result so far....you must have great skin. You've had them in a long time Xx

Every once it a while I get a bit of a twinge along the sternum if I bump my chest just right but consider myself "healed." My left boob is slightly misshapen but nothing significant and I can definitely live with it. There are times I miss being bustier, but mostly I'm glad I explanted. I gave up tanning a long time ago and am dogged about covering up/wearing sunscreen. That probably helped my skin's elasticity. I was pleasantly surprised in that regard. Best wishes.

I had implants so long that I couldn't remember what I looked like before. Not a whole lot there, but I don't see any major dents or wrinkles. Am hoping my nipples perk up a bit. Could be better but it could be worse, so I can't complain. Pain is tolerable. Am hating the drains.
