Yes. I had a mammogram done in March before I started NBE and Leftie (which had deflated almost 2 years ago) was clearly visible as a tiny squished up ball in the center of my breast. With a bit of searching and pressure on the outside/armpit side I can feel that Rightie still has a small amount of saline in it but I suspect that will dissipate over time. It took almost 3 months for Leftie to fully deflate/get absorbed by my system so I expect by summer I'll be working with nothing but my own tissue on Rightie.
There's no real medical purpose in having them removed (I've never had side effects from any of my implants) and it's pretty expensive. Plus despite my progress, I know the plastic surgeon is going to try to bully me into at least lypo and a lift on Leftie and I just don't want to hear it lol.
