Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 How commmon is breast atrophy and wrinkling, after removal? This is what scares me more than anything. I can handle my breasts being a lot smaller. I can even handle them being kinda saggy I guess. But I could not handle them being atrophied or dimpled/wrinkled. What causes this? Is it common?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hello, Your question is one that I hear often. There are many factors that contribute to different outcomes. Some of those are how large your implants are, how long they have been in, how they are removed, how good your surgeon is, etc. In my case, I had gone from an AA to a B cup size, and had them in for about a year and 1/2. Upon removal and healing, I went right back to my original size, and no one can tell that I had ever had them in. I was told by my surgeon that he could have done a tuck in the breast to take up the extra skin if it was baggy, but that was not not necessary. secret makes some marvelous bras. I found one that makes my AA's look like B's and I don't have to be sick to enjoy it. And that brings me around to what is really important here, your health! I was totally disabled with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Sjogren's Syndrome until I decided to take the chance that it was my implants that were making me so extremely sick. I had them removed, and immediately felt some relief. I have now been explanted for 2 years and I am completely 100% better. I can now run, jump, dance, hold babies.......the list goes on and on of the things I can do now, that I couldn't do before. I'd have dimpled breasts any day for that, and chances are you might not have to worry about that either. Best of luck and God bless you. Let us know what the outcome is. a --- In , " leyna1964 " <leyna1964@...> wrote: > > How commmon is breast atrophy and wrinkling, after removal? This is > what scares me more than anything.

Is it common? >Lenya, Mine are completely full DD. When I first had explant the kinda looked like ski slopes, No WRINKLING just kinda flat across th top and then a nice soft bottom. The fact that they were soft again was all that mattered to me. Fluffing which I didn't know about happened throughout the year. I am 1 year post explant and I am the size I was in high school, Yea I gained 25 lbs from eating to much Hawaii food but I was recuperating and getting healthy, That is my experience. Part of the reason I am really not wanting another surgery toget this piece of capsule removed is I am very happy with my natural breasts. And don't want any more cutting Terri P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 a! It's so wonderful to hear from you and to know that you're doing so well! . . . Don't be so scarce! . . . There's nothing like hearing about the success of our members to give women the confidence they need to put themselves though the explant experience!
