🎥 Capsule Cutting: 25-Year-Old Saline Implants This patient had severely thickened capsules with heavy calcification surrounding smooth saline implants that were placed over the muscle 25 years ago. The capsules were extremely hardened and contracted. Wishing her a smooth recovery and continued healing ahead.

Breast implant illness is not really to do with the brand or type of implant that you have.
Breast implant illness occurs in all brands and both saline and silicone implants and is a very multifaceted illness.

I’m always so proud when my patients use their voice to help others. Thank you, Brooke, for courageously sharing your story over the past FOUR years.

***Btw, she’s so passionate about making a difference that she even created a course to support and empower others on their explant journey!

➡️ 😍 IM PROUD OF MY BOOBS!!!⁣
⁣
I didn’t remove my breast implants because I hated the way I looked.⁣
⁣
I explanted honestly because no matter what I did the weight wouldn’t come off.⁣
⁣
My body felt stuck, inflamed, and exhausted.⁣
And this was my last stitch effort to get my body back.⁣
⁣
What I didn’t expect…was that removing my breast implants would fix so many things I thought were just “normal.”⁣
⁣
➡️ Chronic inflammation⁣
➡️ Fatigue⁣
➡️ Brain fog⁣
➡️ Hair loss⁣
➡️ Acne⁣
➡️ Breathing issues⁣
➡️ Dizziness⁣
➡️ Sleep struggles⁣
➡️ Anxiety⁣
➡️ Even my eyesight⁣
…All got better.⁣
⁣
I’ve spent the last 4 years documenting and sharing this journey publicly.⁣
⁣
I’ve been vulnerable. I’ve shared the raw moments. The recovery. 🤪⁣
The emotional rollercoaster.🫠⁣
And the messages haven’t stopped.❤️⁣
⁣
Every day, I hear from women asking:⁣
❓How did you recover naturally?⁣
❓Was it painful?⁣
❓How long did it take to heal?⁣
❓What doctor did you use?⁣
❓Were the scars bad?⁣
❓Do you miss your b***s?⁣
⁣
Here’s the truth:⁣
⁣
💬 You can’t put a price on your health.⁣
If scars are the price? Then they’re simply part of your story.⁣
Mine were purple at one time. Now they’re virtually invisible. I wear them proudly.⁣
⁣
And as for missing my b***s? I don’t. Not even a little.⁣
⁣
I don’t miss the pressure, the discomfort, or the symptoms I carried around for years.⁣
⁣
I feel lighter, healthier, clearer, and more myself than I ever did with them.⁣
⁣
And I got my BODY BACK!⁣
⁣

🦀 Cancer Season was a vibe. ✨ The focus: healing my body and connecting with nature… and myself again.

I am now 5 weeks post-op and watching my body change in amazing ways as it returns to its natural form. It is truly a blessing that I found and had the means to choose him as my surgeon and travel out of state for surgery. He and his team have been the best surgical team I could hope for and more.

I’m also grateful I got to visit the beach during this season of recovery - a perk of choosing a surgeon on the coast! Touching the sand, feeling the ocean waves, and observing the incredible creatures around us made me feel whole again.

Spending one-on-one time with my mother and then my husband was special and invaluable. They took - and continue to take - such good care of me during recovery.

Transitioning back into my regular day-to-day was challenging, but celebrating my 37th birthday upon my return felt so meaningful. I get to enter this next year of life with greater admiration for my body and a deeper sense of self. 😌

To feel healthy again - even just a little day by day - has given me renewed excitement for my future years. Breast implants robbed me of my health in my 20s and into my 30s, but today I move forward with clarity, gratitude, and purpose.

Thank you for following along. It means so much to me. 🩵
