Still happy
WORTH IT$5,000
Hey Ladies, I just wanted to let everyone know that taking these monsters out was still the best decision for me and I do not regret it and do not want to replace the implants again. I am thinner and healthier. If anyone needs a pep talk, just reach out.

ok, well 3 and a half months later I am still 100% sure I did the right thing. I really havent been lifting weights or jogging like I had planned, so I know my chest could look better, but I do push ups here and there when I am not utterly exhausted from my job. I have more confidence now, with my small flat breasts that I did with the 2 giant mounds. I feel like I can wear anything, and I will look sexy rather than whorish. Thank you to the support I found on this site.

I'm so happy for you. I'm so glad to have them out too. Isn't it weird how you can spot them a mile away in other women? So glad to have them out.

Thank you so much for your detailed review and recent update...I plan on doing the same every so often because it really helps women make the decision to explant. I got mine removed about 4 weeks ago; had the same problem when trying on bras. I discussed this issue with a cancer/mastectomy bra fitter specialist and she said what I need is a 'shallow' cup. The underwires of a 'd' still fit because the implant stretched me out that way, but there is no projection to my breast...perhaps a good business op? Special bras for implant removal survivors! (You are looking great by the way!)

Ok, the most recent pic was just taken today 8/10. I couldnt get side shots because my camera kept steaming up from the shower. I think my breasts are tightening up a little. Maybe its just in my head. Im not sure. But Ive gotten used to them and Im very happy. The bra situation was a little rough, and still is, but I found a bra I love. Its called "simply perfect" by Warners. Its the "Invisible Under Clothes " bra. It has a soft cup. No wire. I dont exactly fill out the whole "C" cup so I am going to try for a "B". I got them at Target. I wore a bra to work with underwire and I was so irritated. My incisions seem healed but are still very sensitive. Once I get the OK to start doing pushups and working out, I will build my chest up, Its still concave from not having the massive implant under my muscle. Im sure the bras will fill out better when my chst is build up a little. My chest feels funny when I scrub the bath tub. These muscles have alot of healing to do.

My surgery is 9-21-2012, I do not want to have new ones put in. My husbands wants me to consider it. I told him I would but I'm not. How painful is the removal? I remember the implants in 2012 was excruciating.

HI, They do look like they might be tightening up more. I have to tell you, I have been using this serum by Nivea on my legs and arms--cellulite minimizing serum made with Lotus flower
extract. It does seem to be tightening my skin on my arms especially. I read about lotus oil and that is what it does. I have been using it on my chest in preparation for my surgery, and it really leaves the skin looking firm and glowing. Just thought you might want to give it a try.
