My Breast Explant Experience & Results

[@NinaGrkovic]

I love what you said about your boys growing up not having an unrealistic idea of what women's bodies look like. That just great, and thank you.

[@Claudia_K.]

I love that people strive to be natural again! I see this quite often now. And also people in my age group (late 30s early 40s) opting out on plastic surgery at all. Love that for us! x

[@hannah_michalak]

oh me too- it's refreshing, espcially in the age of social media with filters and photoshop and now AI! x

[@MichelleAlyHar]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm almost 40 and have always hated my breasts and have wanted to get implants. This video has completely changed my mind and shown me the importance of self-love :)

[@yogabyhannah5333]

oh I'm SO happy to hear that, and congratulations- that's a great place to be!! xx

[@IVvOOvVI]

Yeah, they most of us. Don’t want to get implants. We just wanna have a grown naturally to be looking more womanly. Most of us are greedy and one huge one. We just want some breast, but those of us who are completely flat or just very very tiny that we don’t even need to wear a bra.

[@lindsey-l5e]

I used to watch your videos and think how lucky you were to be so slim and still have giant boobs, especially since you never said they were fake. These things contribute to young girl's unrealistic body expectations. Thank you for your honesty now.

[@Elliecatify]

I remember thinking that she had a perfect body, turns out it's true that perfection isn't real! x

[@hannah_michalak]

I think that was one of the reasons I didn't know weather or not to document this, because I had it done so many years ago and never talked about it then. I know it sounds weird but in real life I'm actually quite private and a bit of an introvert. I appreciate you saying this, thank you x

[@lindsey-l5e]

@@hannah_michalak This is an interesting response because it highlights something I have seen other KZbinrs claim too - your perception of self as a private person while simultaneously sharing intimate details about your life (giving birth, relationship info, sharing children's struggles) on a public platform for years. How can these things both be true? Maybe you were a private person at one point in your life, but the reality, the literal video scripts of these videos, demonstrate that not to be true. Maybe this is common with KZbinrs who stumble into this work without any intention of becoming 'KZbinrs.' The cognitive dissonance is interesting though, and something I would enjoy hearing you and Stef discuss. Is it possible to share your life, even if it's the highlight reels, in a public forum and still be able to claim you are a private person? To me it's a hypocritical statement. I say this all with no judgement - you are free to share whatever you want and view yourself however you want! It's psychologically fascinating to me though.

[@amyjenniferr]

I always thought the same!

[@Dr.Gloomy]

there was a video about the process on the website of the clinic, where she had it done

[@marthaloreto3088]

I have my Ex-Plant scheduled 9/27/24, God willing. I needed to hear a genuine experience, such as yours. Thank you for sharing. Blessings! 🙏

[@clarketogether]

I had my explant 8/20/24 and it was amazing! The best of luck! Best decision ever!

[@legomaniac2165]

I want an explant but scared. Any advice on good surgeons ?

[@marthaloreto3088]

My Surgeon was the best of the best, in every way. Ethic, and experienced. I did an en bloc with a lift. Are you in California?

[@chantalsglamourparlour6976]

Isn’t that first breathe just amazing! It’s like a whole weight lifted off your chest! It’s like you’re totally reborn with just an all new appreciation for your natural body! 🤍 so happy for you

[@hannah_michalak]

i was completely blown away by it. I still feel like that now 3 weeks later- every day when i wake up i feel so light! x

[@Jemmarshmallow]

So emotional watching this for some reason. Why are we so mean to ourselves. So happy for you, you look and sound really at peace 💓 hope to get to your level one day 😊

[@hannah_michalak]

I know, it's been so liberating just choosing not to be mean to myself anymore. I wish I had been able to do it sooner! x

[@JosefinaSierra-v6b]

I am so validated as I heard your video. The meds you needed and the inability to do much. I just had my implants removed and my doctor kept on telling me I could do my regular life except not to lift my arms. Not really telling me the pain expected or the need to rest. I only had one day of full rest w out putting pressure to get up. I am on my third day and I am going to fully rest! Thank you

[@kitpehliv]

I found it so soothing, comforting and loving listening to you and looking at you. You’re beautiful!

[@samanthasanders1114]

So happy for you Hannah! I’m so glad that little bully in your head has been kicked to the curb. You are a beautiful soul with beautiful energy❤

[@hannah_michalak]

it's taken so long but it's been so liberating! who knew it was this that would be the catalyst! thank you x

[@Joysteib]

So happy for you and hope each day finds you better and better. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@CrochetLadyBird]

I loved the part of your story where you're in the anaesthetic room and Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves is playing on the radio. Sounds like your journey with this has been empowering from start to finish, and I hope that continues to grow for you. You look beautiful ❤

[@hannah_michalak]

i know, it was so funny because i was feeling so nervous and then that came on!! and just made me smile! :)

[@allywindsor8554]

Love how open you have been about this Hannah❤

[@autumndroplet9776]

I cannot express how happy I am for you Hannah, I could just feel how happy you were and you so deserve it. Sending you all the love

[@hannah_michalak]

aw this is such a lovely thing to read, thank you, thank you, thank you xxx

[@kirky9347]

You’re so brave for sharing your story. I know this will help so many people! Congratulations 🎉

[@VictoriaMagrath]

So so thrilled for you Hannah xx

[@hannah_michalak]

ah thanks, vic. Hope you guys are both doing really well? xx

[@sarahfisher3457]

Such a joy to hear how this is going for you! You certainly have a glow that accompanies your feelings of joy for your body!

[@munajedski]

I had a reduction almost 2 years ago. Like you I woke up from surgery and imediately looked in the gown. 😊I remember saying, they're so small! My recovery nurse said, you're excited! Yes, I was and still am 2 years later. Exactly how you describe, I feel more myself.

[@hannah_michalak]

it's the BEST feeling. I didn't even realise i felt that way until they were OUT!! I'm happy for you too :) x

[@darleneveno9119]

I was the same when my reduction was done, the nurse chuckled and said no their not. I left the hospital with two drains the same day with 36DD and for the first time in many years free of neck pain. Best decision ever.

[@gemmag9637]

Really enjoyed listening to your experience 💕 glad recovery is going well and you are feeling good

[@hannah_michalak]

thank you :) x

[@joeytrtl]

How liberating! You are perfect, always have been - so glad you own that now. ❤

[@Iris_gleichen]

So happy for you Hannah! You're beautiful no matter what but I can only imagine what a relief this must be.

[@petythepenguin]

Such an important and lovely message! It made me think I need to be a bit kinder to myself 😊💗

[@hannah_michalak]

I think we all do, don't we. I have a new rule- I never talk badly about myself, not even as a joke. try it :) x

[@marthafernandez954]

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I'm planning to explant and I’m so nervous about it. This video gives me courage.

[@loislyons3724]

I didn't think it was possible, but you look more beautiful than ever! You seem to be glowing with health.🌺

[@hannah_michalak]

aw this is so sweet, thank you, i feel like a much healthier version of myself! x

[@Lunariss_]

Omg allergan was recalled!! I just got explanted 3 days ago. Really disliking the healing process, rhe drains , etc. but I’m happy with my decision.

[@kitwhite9372]

I am so glad for all the positive outcomes from your decision. And, you look fabulous in your sports bra! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@hannah_michalak]

aw thank you so much, i feel so happy with it all x

[@eleo_b]

I’m so happy I never went for implants (not that I had the money). I’m a little bit older than you and I was influenced by Paris Hilton, I remember her parents didn’t allow her to get implants, and that always stuck with me.

[@ruthhorton-smith]

Hi thanks for this. I’m day 2 And related so much to what you said. I went from A cup to D cup and now not sure . Everything taped and strapped up at the moment so hard to see what I am left with . Loved your bully comment. I have his brother on my shoulder called MLB. My little bastard 😂. Waiting for the first few post anaesthetic day to pass . Glad I have me back though. Xxx

[@EmmaDeJesus-r5o]

Gosh thank you so much for sharing all of this.

[@barefootbarbie]

Sanity is returning ... explanting is up 34% and implanting is down 15% now !

[@jemmah4723]

I’m glad it went well. Thank you for sharing your story it’s been really interesting to follow.

[@placeboxxmadx]

Please can I ask your surgeons information and did you get en bloc capsulectomy or just normal explanations? Thank you ❤

[@welovegoldens]

I’m so happy for you, in that you are so happy with the results! I was shocked when you said you had gotten DD implants. 😮 I never would have guessed that. I’ve been watching you guys for years and not once had I ever looked at you and thought, wow, she’s got big boobs. I didn’t realize that you even had implants. We all know that there can be dangers with having implants and I’m so glad that you’ve taken this journey, and shared it. This is also good for your boys in that it tells them that women are more than just boobs. ❤❤

[@hannah_michalak]

thank you so much. Yes, it was funny when i had the chat with them- they've been so good about it. I think it's SO important to teach them from a young age that bodies are all shapes and sizes, you know. xx

[@kateh5968]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. You look amazing, will be going to look in Sainsburys for the sports bras, i have mine in Oct x

[@lovelifementoring5399]

What a great video ❤ thank you so much. I was told in my 20s that if I had them removed my breasts would look like empty chip packets. I was devastated and went through so many operations. I feel your amazing energy and new found self. What a relief in self acceptance and appreciation. ❤ You look amazing.

[@hannah_michalak]

oh wow, no that's so horrible. by the surgeon? I hope you're okay now, that sounds like a big journey x

[@lovelifementoring5399]

@hannah_michalak it was his assistant who said it. I was just too young and easily influenced. I so.wish I'd been more aware. The surgeon was very flippant, not very supportive at all. I breastfed my 5 boys but had so much difficulty after the op. I'm so inspired by your journey. I feel more at peace somehow. Thank you!

[@aneczek357]

Wow, so good to see you so happy ❤️ take care, Hannah, you look great ❤️

I like people are embracing their more natural selves. My hair started going grey a couple years ago (I am in my mid 30's now) and I have no intention to color it. Let's see what happens.

[@hannah_michalak]

YES YES YES!!! I LOVE grey hair, genuinley i think it looks beautiful. and refreshing to embrace it, right?! x

[@evahalkova2859]

@@hannah_michalak Well I have red hair so it's not that visible yet. But I hate the idea of touching it up all the time and also I would lose my original hair color and I just don't want that.

Looking forward to the bra recs for small boobs, refreshingly relatable content in an unrelatable space sometimes ❤ here’s to a speedy recovery for you .

aw thank you. Yes I'll be on that as soon as i get rid of the sports bra haha

So glad it went well ❤

You look amazing.. And most importantly you feel happy and satisfied. I’m explanting mine too next month. Ah can’t wait. ❤️‍🩹🪽

Did you have the implants for 13 years ? Wow after so long time must be a better experience !

[@katrinaw3770]

After breastfeeding 2 kids my mind does wander to the what ifs of considering surgery… Thank you for this Hannah because I won’t again (and rightfully so) Rest up! ❤️ And would love to hear more about raising boys (I relate a lot to needing a little more independence!) x

[@hannah_michalak]

i think so many women do- just from my experience of chatting to my viewers. I hope this helped. re boys- it's all about survival and high energy haha

[@sgjd1983]

You look wonderful and sound so happy. Would you be willing to share the name of your surgeon please as I am looking to have an Explant myself but so far have just looked at London based doctors and the price quoted so far is eye watering! Thank you :)

Hi Hannah, that’s it! This video has given me the kick up the bottom to get my implants out! Mine have been in for far too long, I was just worried that I would be left with spaniels ears 😮. Please could you tell me where you went as I would feel much better having a recommendation. Speedy recovery x

WONDERFUL NEWS!!! 💪👌👍🥳🥰 CONGRATS! When I hug my bestie of 35yrs, it always feels ODD with the massive implants that she opted for about 16yrs ago. Somehow I doubt that she'll ever have them removed though. They look even bigger on her tall slim frame now than they used to, because she became a Type 1 Diabetic 2yrs ago, and we all know what those Meds do to the body's size / shape. She's 6' tall, really skinny with 2 huge headlights. 🤫I never said that though! 🤭😁

[@twonner2]

DD?? Wait, what?? Really? I wouldve never guessed you had implants to begin with but you were that large? Im a 42D and i have serious large saggy udders on my chest. LOL Maybe you hid them well... Wow...Im jealous...mine look terrible but they are my actual boobs....age and weight gain have made mine the way they are. Im shocked truly....you wore the old ones well bc all I see are mine...too big...hate em

[@iuidit2809]

you have to know that the ‚cup size‘ (the letter) change with the underboob range (the number). (maybe I don’t use the right expresses/ words - I am not English native). this is what not lots of women know (thus the confusion about Bra sizes …). so the cups are basically smaller when your underboob size is smaller. doubleDD is smaller with ‚smaller girls‘ than your doubleDD. you can look that up! :)

[@hannah_michalak]

aw yes, i would never really dress to show them, unless i was in a sports bra working out. I never planned for them to be that big but after 2 kids it just happened! x
