Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Liz, No one can tell you what YOU will look like after surgery. Just too many variables! . . . How you will look depends on the skill of your surgeon and how much breast tissue you have as well as the condition of the tissue. You can maximize the outcome, with or without a lift, by wearing a snug, but comfortable sports bra 24/7 until healing is well underway so the internal scar tissue will work for you. Best wishes and prayers for your surgery and speedy recovery! Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Liz,I'm 4 days explant. My main concern was restoring my health, and I wasn't sure how I would look. I can only speak for me, as I've looked at the photos online from many explant patients, and they are all unique to the individual. I can say that I was immediately happy, and smaller. I have read other women share about how warm their natural breasts were, and I felt that. Also, my implants had begun to move on my chest wall, responding to the thickening of the capsules, and so, I felt at time they were moving up my chest and too close to my neck. Now I have the natural dip of gravity and am so thrilled! I did have the lift, and they are doing great...How I looked? Somewhat " mashed " but symmetrical. They are soft and warm and when I touch them, they don't " resist " the touch. I'm so happy that I really don't care if they " fluff " or not. I encourage you to focus on your improved health, and let the rest happen as it will. The payoff for me was immediate. My back stopped hurting, my shoulders stopped hurting, and the large lymph node on my neck that had been standing up for a long time has drained!! I have such hope and joy....wishing you the same.....Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
