4 year update
Another year later and I feel the same as I did a year ago. I am not happy with my current appearance and deformed. I have extreme asymmetry and saggy empty breasts. My nipples sink inward and my flex deformity is the same.
I constantly try hide my breasts and I hate for them to be touched. It’s embarrassing.
I am at the point I am having a little regrets about removing my implants now, because I didn’t have any issues like BII or contractures…they looked fine and were much better than what I have now.
Now, if I want to fix them I have to have another surgery and pay thousands of dollars… I’m so sad about that. I’m a mother and don’t want to do the risks or recovery of another procedure and I feel selfish to spend that money on myself.
I definitely think i will do something though…
I’ve recieved many comments about fat transfer and I am researching that
I am not getting a lift. I have zero tissue and do not want to be flat with large scars.
So I will either do a fat transfer or implants again.
I’m going to continue to research these options before I decide.
I’d love to hear experiences of women who’ve had an explant and then got implants again or had a fat transfer after explant.
Best wishes to everyone. Hope this honest review helps someone and I’ll answer questions when i can. Good luck to anyone with making a decision. It’s hard. Such is life!

3 year update
It’s been a long time! Since my ex plant three years ago I have had another pregnancy and breastfed that baby. It was wonderful to go through that without implants. I didn’t have that engorged feeling or discomfort. Unfortunately, I had same issue with right breast not letting down milk even tho it makes milk, which results in baby preferring left side and my right going smaller as milk supply decreases.
Through research I think I have some nerve damage from my original breast augmentation which affects let down of my milk. My breasts are currently still very uneven in size.
Here’s how I’m feeling:
I don’t regret removing my implants
I DO regret getting them in the first place.
I’ve had a hard time accepting that I chose to ruin my muscles, have scars, muscle flex deformity and stretched saggy boobs by getting implants when I was 20. I wish I’d have stayed all natural!
Removing my implants has felt great. I love soft natural boobs. However, I am unhappy with the look of my breasts. I’m fine with small and saggy but I hate my scars...I hate my flex deformity....I hate my Areolas and nipples sink inward (because they’re so stretched out and have zero tissue beneath to support them). They don’t look or feel like breasts should look and feel. They feel empty/hollow skin. My husbands has more firm/dense feeling breast lol.
Seriously I have zero tissue and I don’t gain weight in my boobs at all. I cannot get a lift or anything because of lack of tissue.
So my only options are:
1) accept this body and live with it, try to love it and move on (I’ve been trying to do this option)
2) get implants again
I do not want to get implants again. But I have thought about it a few times. It just feels like the solution to my problems cannot but the same as what caused my problems (getting implants). So I don’t think I can go through with ever getting implants again.
I still encourage anyone looking to explant to go ahead and do it. More than likely you will look and feel great! Especially if your natural breasts are at least a full A cup. I only have issues because I really am so flat naturally. I’d be over the moon if I had even a little tissue to fluff out my nipple and look “normal”. Anyway, I will try to check in and answer any questions or comments as honestly as possible.
Best of luck to anyone on this journey! It isn’t easy!

One month update
Almost one month already! I just wanted to update: I feel great! However I haven't noticed any changes in appearance. My breasts do feel firmer and like the tissue has settled.
I'm just enjoying daily life better without the implants. Sleeping, breastfeeding, exercising, are all more comfortable. I feel lighter and it's great.
The only thing that bums me sometimes is the size difference of my breasts. It's hard to hide and hard to find bras. But it is ok!
No regrets!! If you want to explant, just do it! [RS bleep]

He has a great bedside manner and made me feel very comfortable. He answered all of my questions. He removed my breast implants under local anesthesia and the procedure was a breeze. He talked me through it all. I'm glad I chose him.
