Hi Sherry - I had my right thr on December 18 and am scheduled for the

left on Feb. 12. I am 58, for what that's worth. I have been amazed

at how much things change from one day to the next. The pain has

decreased very rapidly. I've been off the walker and using a cane for

about 10 days. I can walk a few steps without the cane. It doesn't

really HURT, it just feels " funny " , and I am a little scared to put

too much weight on it. When I first stopped using the walker, the

length discrepancy was really disturbing, but that's getting a little

better every day, too, amd will be " evened out " with the next surgery

(I called the surgeon to ask if the discrepancy is normal - he said

" yes " )

In any case, I'd urge you to do your exercises religiously and hang in

there.

What really hurts one day is at least A LITTLE BIT better the next.

Hope you do well (and me too, for round 2 on the left hip).

Sherry,

I felt no pain after day 5 post-op. Not from the incision, the joint, anything. Sometimes it was stiff or felt funny but no pain. I am now 13 weeks post-op after RTHR with ceramic on ceramic. Have you seen your OS about this?

Liz,

We call it " fluffing " . . . imagine a pillow after

someone has sat on it. . . After they get off, it

takes a little while for it to fluff back out on it's

own. How much fluffing you will experience, depends on

how much tissue you have to start with. . . But you

can be assured that you will look better in a few

months than you do now.

I'm glad to hear you're through your surgery. The

worst is behind you . . . the rest of your life to

look forward to . . . Take good care of yourself.

Drink plenty of pure water.

Hugs,

Hi Liz,

I'm one week post-op and yes, the girls do fluff out over time. Mine

were quite flat at first, a bit sad. But every day they are improving,

integrating, healing. The difference in one week is remarkable. My

surgeon said yesterday I should continue to improve over the next

three to six months...so don't judge them yet...they will heal with

every passing day.

Things I'm doing::

-wearing tight supportive active wear tops and jog bras 24/7

-getting plenty of rest; listening to my body

-drinking spring water, and green tea with stevia

-taking bromelain, vitamin C, B-Complex, E and pro-biotics

-using Neutrogena firming night cream and vitamin E on my breasts and

chest, throat - skin/elasticity is improving daily

-visualizing my breasts healing, welcoming support and beauty

and last but NOT least::

....loving my new natural body!

Use your thoughts and energy to heal - and trust in your body's

instincts.

Hi Liz. I explanted March 17th, and I too, was a little scared on how they looked. They looked almost like a flat tire, and I was a 34B before my implants. Now at a little more than 2 weeks post op, I am noticing the "fluffing". They are starting to fill out a bit, and look much better. Also, as the incisions are healing, they are looking better as well. Give it time.

I think also when you are used to large breasts, having them so much smaller is a bit of a shock. You will start to like them soon.

Good luck and get plenty of rest!

Soft hugs,

LIz

your breasts have just been compacted that's all. It will take at

least a few weeks for them to fluff back out. In the meantime, it is

improtant to keep a tight bandage or snug bra over them so that it

will compress the pockets left by removing the implants. Don't

worry,

your breasts will look more like they did soon. I was very flat and

when I got my implants out, my breasts actually looked indented. I

cried and cried. But by a couple of weeks later, they looked like

they did before I got implants size wise--which was really flat but

now they looked normal becuase they how I was! And yes, your weight

loss could affect your breast size also. Gaining back the weight

will

help too. I think you should relax and feel very positive about the

surgery and its outcome! Take care

Hello, I also was very flat and am considering explants but am worried

I will look deformed. Did you have a lift or anything together with

the explant? Mine were saline implants done in 1998. I have been

reading, but do not understand too well, that they can do something to

fill in the breasts with your breast tissue, however I don't even know

if I have enough, I was so flat I did not even fit into a bra! Thank

you for any input,

There are procedures where they take a flap of tissue

from the back, or side, and transfer the tissue under

the skin to the breast, shaping it into something that

resembles a breast . . .

What you give up for this is strength and sensation.

I've heard it referred to as the " Surgery from Hell " .

Recently I've heard that they are doing fat transfers

successfully . . . It's done as microsurgery because,

to keep the fat living, they have to transfer a blood

supply with it . . . Some of the fat will gradually

melt away. Hopefully enough will stay for the results

wanted.

Do any of these sound like good options? They don't to

me! IMHO, we'd have been better off if we hadn't

messed with mother nature to begin with. . . Most of

us who have been really, really sick, don't care of we

have ANY breast tissue left, as long as we can have

our life back.

Unless a woman had a mastectomy and has no breast

tissue left, that, with a good doctor, she will return

to something close to what she was before implants, or

maybe better if the initial problem was sagging, and

she gets a lift with the explant.

In my case, a lift was what I needed in the first

place! I often wonder what my life would have been if

I hadn't gotten implants. I believe I would have been

able to work long enough to have a retirement pension.

What a difference a single decision makes!

I was very small, too, as I breast fed my children. I'm 8 days

post-op, and quite small again, or flat chested as you say (I prefer

ballet chest ;-) ).

I am NOT deformed. Quite the contrary. When I look at myself now and

compare my body with how I looked with implants, I could cry. The

implants made me look unnatural!

My small soft breasts are far more proportionate and flattering to my

body style. I feel younger, lighter and more authentic.

So don't let fear in. Our bodies, post-explant, heal and adjust. My

breasts are already integrating and firming up. I can't wait to go bra

shopping for some sweet little bras. They have wonderful new fabrics

now that stretch, and much more selection than when I was pre-implant,

years ago.

I talked to one of my daughter's friends today . . .

She's just finished chemo and scheduled for flap AND

implant surgery in early May . . .

She already has a history of food sensitivities, many

other life-long health issues. . .

There's no way she's going to listen to anyone. She

knows what she wants!

Oh God, Please help and protect her!

I did not get a lift with my explant but I think I probably should

have. I had my implants in for 11 years and I think that my skin

was too stretched. I have been concentrating on getting well but

will probably go back sometime in the next year or two and see what

can be done at that time. My breasts are the same size that they

used to be (flat!) but there is some sagging beneath where my

natural breast now ends. I am sure that I could probably get that

taken care of, it just hasn't been a priority to me. but since you

have had your implants in a long time and were flat like me, I think

you should thoroughly discuss the potential problem of stretching

with your ps prior to explant. I don't know about the breast tissue

thing, my ps didn't mention anything about it. Who are you planning

on seeing? Did they mention that you could do that or did you read

that somewhere? I would be interested in knowing.

yes, they did go back to looking the way they did before explant

after several weeks. They were the same size almost exactly, if not

just the tiniest bit bigger. The only difference was that my skin

had stretched and I think I could have benefitted from some kind of

lift or something. I am not sure what. I was concentrating on

getting well and haven't gone back yet to see what she would

recommend. So to answer your question, it is normal for them to

look that way at this point and it may take several weeks for them

to fluff out and look like they used to. So relax, I am sure

everything will be fine.

Thanks for the positives, Moss. Liz, I'm 8 days post-op. My breasts

are different, yes, and I'm ok with it. I look forward to the fluffing

that the ladies speak of, but I'm ok with being smaller, as I already

feel more energy in my spirit and mind.

My left breast is still swollen a bit. The dr. said it was the more

difficult to explant, more bleeding, more drainage. So, I'm walking a

little lopsided right now, (hehe), but hey, I'm walking!! I'm not

laying in bed wondering what the heck is happening to me. I'm on the

downslide now. Isn't it wonderful to do something SO positive for

oneself?? I'm so glad I discovered this site, explanting, and the rest

of my life......Jackie

[Guest guest]

, so good to read your fluffing info. I need all the

positives I can get too. I am into acceptance of whatever may be, and

I'm just feeling a little stressed because I'm not used to resting.

I'm used to working until I fall down, kind of like a wind-up toy. So,

this post-op resting and not overdoing it is just driving me crazy. I

feel guilty if I'm not working harder than anyone else. I see my

therapist today, so maybe I can deal with the emotions there. I am so

full of hope and joy most of the time, as I can tell I'm healing in

spirit and body. Jackie

[Guest guest]

So glad to hear you are doing well! It is really strange, the fluffing seemed to come out of nowhere. One minute, I was looking like a deflated tire, the next they filled out! I think what happened was I had stopped looking at them because I was a bit discouraged, and really rushed lately. When some of my internal stitches surfaced and I went to my PS to have them removed, the doctor exclaimed, "Wow, they are really bouncing back!" and that is when I noticed. I also noticed a difference when I put on my tight tank tops I wear to bed without a bra. They looked better than when I initially tried them on right after my explantation.

I know they will never be exactly as they were before, and post op I have good days, and days where I start feeling sorry for myself, but like you said, the peace of mind is the greatest feeling in the world! It is so nice to know what I have is all mine now! .

You will also be amazed at how fast your body heals. I am almost completely healed where my incisions are. I have a few scabs left, but not many. I am going bra shopping tomorrow too! crazycanoe1 <crazycanoe1@...> wrote:

Hi, I am planning to see Dr. Melmed on Apr 29...I have an appt for a

consultation...I am flying in for the day, I live outside the US--but

it is important for me to see him in person and go over all the

issues. I really want to do this but am very scared as well, I think

I will look somewhat deformed. The implants I have are saline and

very very small, 150cc...I didn't want to be large, I only wanted to

have something, to look normal! Anyway, I realize my health is more

important and I am going to blame every ache and pain on these so I

want to remove them, but I also want to see if there is something new

he can do to make them look somewhat presentable as well. Thanks for

your input...

I think it just depends on your body. I am starting to fluff out, and I am three weeks post op. I have heard you can see changes as long as 6 months post op. interart81 <interart81@...> wrote:

I agree! It depends.

I'm nine days post-op, and today I see a new definition starting. I'm

small - a 34 AA, but I can already see changes as they integrate and

heal. They're getting a little perkier every day. I don't have a lot

of tissue, but what I do have is healing and assuming a shape...!

My PS said I will continue to heal and change over the next few

months. (I did not have a complicated surgery or a " lift " , just an

explant.)

You should look very much like you did before you had

implants. . . Immediately afterwards, you might look

strange, because your natural tissue has been

compressed. But it will begin " fluffing " within a

short time.

flying in to meet Dr. M? you will love him. i am certain that he will

put all your fears to rest. i had the consultation with him the day

before surgery, and i was completely ready to have him do my surgery.

i had no fears about him at all once i met him. notice the office

clock when you go in; it tells time backwards!
