I am always so proud of my patients, and is no exception. As a former Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe, she is a true role model to many. Her voice is helping spread awareness about breast explant surgery and inspiring women worldwide.

I’m honored to be part of your journey, Stephania! Thank you for publicly sharing your story.
REPOST• | Stefanía Fernández, Miss Venezuela 2008 y Miss Universo 2009, anunció en sus redes sociales que se sometió a una explantación mamaria. La exreina de belleza merideña se manifestó orgullosa de su decisión y agradecida por el resultado y el apoyo recibido.

«Han sido meses de exámenes y estar sana para mi familia y mis hijos era y es mi prioridad. Hoy me siento orgullosa de decir que estoy libre de implantes mamarios», compartió en su cuenta de Instagram.
«Luego les contaré a detalle como ha sido este camino para recuperar mi salud. Deseo que muchas mujeres escuchen mi testimonio», señaló seguidamente en la red social, donde también compartió una imagen de las prótesis que le retiraron.
Algunos malestares

Ya en ocasiones anteriores, la también comunicadora social había revelado que se había visto afectada médicamente hablando.

Síntomas como la pérdida de memoria y picos de inflamación, son algunas de las molestias que confesó. Algunos atribuyen esos problemas al llamado síndrome ASIA (siglas en inglés del Síndrome Autoinmune Inducido por Adyuvantes), también conocido como Enfermedad por implantes mamarios.

Esta afección, aún no reconocida por la comunidad médica como una enfermedad, es descrita como una reacción autoinmune o inflamatoria del cuerpo ante las sustancias extrañas de la prótesis, como la silicona, lo que provoca síntomas sistémicos inespecíficos como fatiga, dolores musculares y articulares, pérdida de memoria, y otros.

En su publicación, Stefanía Fernández se manifestó agradecida por haber obtenido el resultado que buscaba, así como por el apoyo recibido en lo familiar y espiritual.

41 & Thriving – 6 Weeks Post-Op

This patient is just 6 weeks out from her breast explant with a wise-pattern lift, removing 360cc saline implants.

She’s already enjoying a natural, lifted look—and feeling healthier every day.

Thinking about breast explant surgery? A personalized approach can help you feel confident, healthy, and at ease.

To the girl who thought she had to change her body to be worthy..thank you for surviving. Explanting was the best decision I’ve ever made, because it gave me you back. Stronger. Healthier. Happier. Finally free. I don’t carry the weight of shame or expectation anymore, I carry myself.🩷I’m forever grateful to my incredible surgeon and his explant liaison .hicks_explant_liaison thank you for giving me my life back!🙏🏽.......

2 years since my .

there are no words to describe the woman i’ve become since those implants and what they represented left my body.

my body heals quicker when injured or sickened.

my confidence has soared.
i am in love with myself like never before.

if you’re on the fence…DO IT.

release them and feel your heart expand, your chest open, and your breath deepen.
