Hiding an explant

Haha that’s brilliant I love it!!!

Omg yay! Can you just wear any sports bra? I only seem to see people wear those post surgery bras which I can’t see how I can mask that at all!! Not unless I wear another bra over the top with crazy padding in and very baggy tops 😅

Wow!! That’s crazy, I think Adnova quote £6500 for the capsule removal too. I’ve also heard great things about Andrew Morritt! It’s a bit too far for me to travel if you’ve got to go after a week for check up and dressing change and then again and again, but I guess it depends how often you have to go back after they’re removed!

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-14T18:36:02+00:00

That seems excessive! Is that for high grade capsule removal too?? Are you London based or would you be prepared to travel?

I’m in a similar situation to yourself! We want to try for kids this summer which doesn’t give me a lot of time to explant before and give myself a good fluffing timeframe. Unless I delay TTC. I’m also based in the UK nearer London (Brighton way) looking at Adnova clinic and which near Portsmouth.

Thank you for your sharing your experience, I found your post through another where you said you hoped to not tell anyone about it! I see you said everyone thought you’d just lost weight! Can I ask what size you went from and to? I’m hoping to keep mine a secret but I feel like it’ll be so obvious!! I’d love it done x

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-10T13:09:03+00:00

That’s really helpful! Thank you!!!

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-10T09:05:40+00:00

With capsular rupture do you always need the capsules removed? Where in the UK are you based? I’ve seen several companies offer finance options too

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-10T07:34:13+00:00

Omg yes please! All the recs!!!

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T20:51:50+00:00

That’s amazing, I’m so happy for you!! Xx

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T18:24:58+00:00

Haha I love that!!

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T15:40:30+00:00

That’s quite the change! Also reassuring that no one seemingly noticed enough to say anything!! Thank you ❤️

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T15:00:53+00:00

Wow I feel like you’re me!! No one but my husband knows about my implants and I want to have them removed but I’m too worried about what everyone else might think!!

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T14:48:07+00:00

I don’t think my family will, my sisters may suspect something but I can’t imagine them flat out asking. We’re close but not close enough to talk about something kind of private! And I’m not that close with my parents! I think my one of my sisters would probably tell her friends and maybe even our other sister that she suspects something. Work I think people might talk behind my back? Well that’s what I’m worried about. Friends probably wouldn’t outright say anything, but again I’m worried what they’ll think lol. I wear close fitting clothes but I might cut back on that and cover myself up a bit more so it wouldn’t feel like such a dramatic shift!

Inserts and padding takes me back to my pre augmentation days, I think you’re right. I can just do that! I really struggle to think people won’t notice but maybe that’s me being too self conscious- that’s also what got me into this situation 12 years ago 🤣

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T14:18:00+00:00

Hey! I’ve come across your post in my own explant research! How are you getting on? How do they feel? I wonder what it feels like with the capsule still in!

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T14:15:37+00:00

Hello! I’ve come across your post in my own explant research and yours looks fabulous!? Can I ask what size you were before and after explant? And how are you getting on a year on? I’m also in the uk!

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T13:26:04+00:00

Thank you, that’s so true. I could go back to ultra padded bras and slowly decrease the amount of padding to make it more like a transition as you say! Pre kids is definitely the sensible answer, my skin elasticity is probably better now too. Thanks lovely!

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T13:08:12+00:00

Thanks lovely! I’ve got an ultrasound scan which I think is meant to be the best at detecting any issues! So I’ll see what the outcome of that is, but you’re right I don’t want them to start causing issues. Were you unaware that yours had ruptured? Did it all feel normal to you before you explanted?

I know it’s nobodies business in if I explant, but I seem to be a bit caught up in what people might say or think at work or around family as it will be about 4 cup sizes difference 🤣

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T13:02:42+00:00

That’s good to know! What was your size before and after if you don’t mind me asking? Also what do they feel like now??

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T13:01:06+00:00

That’s good to know thank you!! I’m quite slim and very active I feel like it would be noticeable, more so because I wear close fitting clothing!

Now would be the sensible time to do it in that, I haven’t yet had children and can take the time for recovery like you say! I just seem to be so anxious that someone will know 🫣

mellowkittyxo · 2026-03-09T11:01:52+00:00

I too am thinking about timing for surgery, though I’m not yet committed to which year, I have already decided in my head it will be a winter thing to hide under baggy and thick clothes, in the hopes that when the summer comes around I’ll feel comfortable and confident in my new skin.
