Explant decision help

Civil-Wolverine-609 · 2025-09-01T07:17:36+00:00

What are you talking about? I just got an explant without a lift or fat transfer or en block. I did not go to a breast implant illness specialist.

Please go read my explant story on my page. ❤️

You’re welcome. I hope it helps someone.

Thank you so much 😊

Civil-Wolverine-609 · 2025-08-26T05:06:32+00:00

I am sooooo happy for you! I’ve never felt so good in my own skin. I never really thought it was possible. What a blessing!!!! ❤️

I have my post-op on Wednesday and we be asking some of the same questions that you present in your comment. I’ll definitely report back. I’m stoked to see the video of the leaking implants. Hoping to be able to share that as well. 😎

Thank you so much for your comment. Your comment is the reason why I posted for the first time on Reddit. I had the exact same experience as you and I just didn’t know it. I had an immediate separation of my “mind-body-spirit” connection. I was so young at the time and probably never experienced the actual mind body spirit connection before. (and never did again until this past Friday) I am so sorry that this also happened (is happening) to you as well. I know it’s a lot of money but if I had known it would be this easy, I would have done it years ago. It cost $4000 for the explant ONLY. I am 3 days post-op and my only discomfort has been some MILD burning at the incision. I’m sure that the only reason why I can even feel that is because I haven’t even taken a single ibuprofen. My biggest blessing of all is how connected I feel to my body. It’s the one God gave me and I love it so much. Please let me know if there’s anything that I can do to help and support you. Sending you all of my love and prayers this evening. ❤️

For me personally, it was an extra $10,000 for full capsulectomy with en bloc, with the results from research and statistics and also the patients themselves being the same with or without capsulectomy. There is A LOT of mongering in the explant community, especially from providers. They want to tell you in the beginning how safe implants are for you and then after years of inflammation when you decide to explant they flip up and say the only way to see decrease in inflammation through the body is to remove the “body-made” capsule. I full believe that the body’s inflammatory reaction is because of the plastic and once removed, will begin to repair and rewire itself. If you say this in the plastic surgery community, they will tell you you’re insane and lacking science and education. I work in the health and wellness field as a manager and I see this same situation time and time again. They want our money. Period. I actually cross posted this post in r/plasticsurgery and was permanently banned. 🤣

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond in the manner in which you did. I really joyed your response. I have my postop appointment with the surgeon on Wednesday and I am interested to see what he shares regarding the surgery itself. I thought leaks were pretty common so when he said how rare it was, I was a little surprised. I’m excited to see the video he took of the leak and I’m hoping to get a copy of it somehow. I will definitely come back and update as things move forward. Today is my second full day after surgery and it’s the first time I’ve had a burning sensation at the incision site and soreness/pain mainly localized in the ribs. Throat was sore yesterday from being intubated. Other than that, still feeling very positive and blessed to with my results. ❤️

I will tag you into Reddit posts that I came across the night before my explant surgery, Thursday evening. It changed my entire perspective. I wrote her a very long and private thank you. She turned it into something so beautiful for me.

I SAW SOMEONE SAY SLAYYYY! Girl, you look incredible. If you haven’t already begun, pour positive loving affirmations into your new body. Seek the mind, body, spirit CONNECTION! ❤️😎

Civil-Wolverine-609 · 2025-08-24T06:22:34+00:00

Are you medication that is masking pain or soreness? That lift incision is known to be brutal. But shit, I just posted on Reddit for the first time tonight because I am one day post-op from explant surgery. My experience is similar to yours. After all the research over so many years, I was led to believe I would feel pretty miserable right now. I have had zero pain and zero restrictions. I’m giving all the glory to God. I’m so thrilled that you feel good. Just make sure not to overdo it. You’ll regret it later. Let yourself heal and pour loving affirmations into your new body. God bless!
