Alright - this didn't need a NSFW tag, but I wanted some kind of warning for the bloody scar tissue. 

  
I explanted December 18, 2024. Bi-lateral capsulectomy, no lift. It took me a full 12 weeks to feel "normal" again. Normal as far as lifting weights and having full range of motion. I had drains for 8 days. 

  
In June of 2024 I had a routine mammogram that suggested a tear in my right implant. I decided to just remove them. Sure enough, the right one was definitely torn. Surgeon had a tough time getting all of the implant out. 

  
Recovery was a lot harder than getting them in. I had them for 6 years. I never knew one was ruptured, I didn't look or feel different, didn't think I had BII,  I just didn't like them. 

  
If you're on the fence about explanting - just do it. You can always implant again if you want. Up until the day of my surgery I was toying with the idea of just replacing them and going smaller. 

I'm so glad I explanted. I really like my small boobs. I have always had a lot of "armpit" boob, so even though I look flat, I'm a C. If that makes sense. I mostly wear sports bras and I still order  large bikini tops or a C/D cup just because I like the coverage. I definitely do not have the upper pole fullness that I had with the implants and that was the whole reason I got them. But I'm happy. Scars are almost invisible. 

Explanted almost 1 year ago - so happy I did
