Goodbye Implants

Hello, I just celebrated 19 weeks since my explant surgery and I could not be happier. It was the best choice I could have made. I also had very severe capsular contracture twice just like you but on my left side. I had revision surgery with a new implant put in and it didn't help, it came back. It got very, very bad and got so painful. I was very stressed out about it and it bothered me how I looked and how I felt. I was worried every night that it might rupture inside of me and worried about the capsular contracture, the implant was so hard and my whole chest hurt. I found a wonderful Plastic surgeon (do not go back to the one who implanted you) and she was wonderful! She did initially try to talk me into getting new ones put in but I told her no, that I was over it. After that she was very supportive and she didn't try to talk me into it again. I also had breastfed for a long time and my once 34 C breasts had gone to 34 A. I was very worried of being completely flat, deformed after my explant but I look better than expected! I have lost all the volume of course from the implants but I am natural and my breasts are not saggy or deformed, just smaller. I did wear a sportsbra for a good 6 weeks after surgery and was very careful to not do too much after my surgery, etc and I feel fantastic today! It is amazing how much more confident I am and how I am not stressed about having the implants inside of me anymore. My PS did have to do extensive scar tissue removal, she said she had to beat me up a little cause it had spread up to my collar bone. She was so wonderful and took great care of me. I didn't get a lift but didn't need one. It feels so amazing to be natural and not to have pain in my chest and to be able to hug my friends and my family without those hard rocks in my chest. I also look lighter and can wear the tank tops I have always wanted to wear but was too self conscious having those implants in my chest. I am not one to flaunt it, was always trying to hide my chest. Now when I see women with implants I am so happy that I do not look like that anymore and will never go back to getting them.

Please do your research and find a good PS that you trust and get your surgery, you will feel a million times better and you will be so much happier. Talk to them about getting a lift too. I have seen pics of explant surgery with a lift and these women look fantastic.
