REPOST•

Celebrating the one year anniversary of one of the best decisions I’ve made on my health journey. Sharing a few pictures from surgery day and yes, those were my implants. 🤮 My Explant was done by and I couldn’t be happier with my results 1 year later. I feel so much healthier! If you’re thinking about explanting, I’d love to chat and share my experience with you!

Editing to add: I was told this by a friend during my process of explanting, “Your God given body is your best body.” And that couldn’t be more true! Our bodies are amazing and looking at that last picture and seeing the encapsulation your body does to protect the rest of your body from the implant, aka “foreign object”, is pretty freaking amazing. If my body hadn’t created that encapsulation, that ruptured implant would’ve leaked all that silicone into my body.

Following the 2016 social media trend 💦

Comparing a photo from 2016 to now really got me thinking about how much has changed over the last 10 years.

Watching my kids grow from little ones into the young adults they’re becoming (almost 15, 16, and 17) has been one of the greatest stories of my life.

Over this same decade, my wife and I have grown together in the ways that matter most—our bond deeper, steadier, and stronger than ever.

Professionally, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible patients from all over the world, helping transform lives and restore health in ways I never take for granted.

These days feel quieter, stronger, and more grounded. No drama—just gratitude. Feeling incredibly blessed standing here in 2026. 🤍

Our COMPLIMENTARY virtual consultation days are going so well! Huge thank you to Nurse Princess and Nurse Leo for making these such a success 🐾🐾

This has been a wonderful way to connect with patients in a convenient way—especially for those who are farther away.

I’m already looking forward to the next one on February 10, and spots are filling up quickly, so don’t wait to reserve yours!

✨ 7 years implant-free ✨

A few days late …… 1/9

Seven years ago, I made the decision to remove my breast implants a choice that quite literally saved my life. What once felt like something I needed turned out to be something my body was fighting every single day.
Today, I stand here healthier, stronger, and more confident than I’ve ever been fully at peace in my own skin. I’ve learned that beauty isn’t about enhancement or perfection… it’s about listening to your body, honoring your health, and choosing yourself unapologetically.
Healthy is beautiful.
Feeling good in your body is powerful.
And confidence that comes from within? That’s unmatched.
Here’s to choosing life, wellness, and self-love always 🤍 Cheers to 7 years 🥂

Thinking about explant surgery? Read this first.

Choosing who performs your explant matters just as much as the decision itself. Credentials, training, and experience aren’t optional—they’re foundational to your safety and outcome.

This video shows capsule cutting during explant surgery for a patient experiencing pain after decades with implants.

Findings: calcification, contracture, thickened capsules, and bilateral rupture.

A reminder that breast implants are not lifetime devices—and listening to your body matters.
