In this first‑person testimonial, the speaker— a woman in her 40s who recently underwent breast explant, lift, and fat transfer— explains why she chose to remove her implants, emphasizing aesthetic reasons and a desire for a more natural breast shape. She reflects on how the implants had given her a rounded, “two balls” appearance and how, after explant, her breasts now look natural. She discusses her concerns about surgical scars, noting that her previous implants were placed via an under‑arm incision leaving no visible scars, but the current procedure left incisions that initially terrified her. She reports that, six months post‑op, the scars are healing well and she is pleased with the results, expecting further improvement over time. The speaker aims to reassure other women who may fear the look and scarring after explant surgery.

I also want to say that, um, back to what you were saying, it, it really is so many— so often, and a lot of times, not all the time, everyone has their own story, but for me it was aesthetics, right? I wanted to look back to how I was, um, and, and even then, I mean, I didn't— looking back now, I didn't look how I was totally. The size was similar, but it Now that I don't have implants, I'm like, oh, it's not supposed to be two just balls stuck on your chest, you know. I was like, and I really want to, I want to talk to this because I think a lot of women will be fearing this, like, what is it going to look like? Because I honestly didn't really know what a woman in her 40s, like, a breast would even look like because the implant obviously is, is rounded on top. Um, I did choose to get a lift and fat transfer, and when I, when I went in, and I will say, and I know that your office said like it's I'm only 6 months in, but I love my breasts. I love that they're, you know, it's a natural shape for me. And you said it's only going to get even better. And scars— I was mortified of the scars because when I had my implants, they went in through the underarm, so I didn't have any scars. But I'm going to say honestly, with that, I, I mean, they are in my case, and everyone's different, but I was just scared to death about that. And honestly, my scars are doing great.
