Una semana y contando… 🤍

Después de una preparación rápida pero exhaustiva, por fin llegó el día.
Medicinas listas, exámenes preoperatorios al día, la tribu organizada con lista de quehaceres… todo en orden.

El lugar elegido fue Aqua Surgery en Jupiter, con el .
Hora pautada: 12 m. Perfecto para levantarnos tempranito y arrancar desde Orlando con calma.

El personal fue increíblemente atento.
El doctor, muy amable.
Yo… con los sentimientos a flor de piel y mi traductor mental funcionando en mínima revolución 😅.

Entré a quirófano… y cuando volví en mi, ya a las 6 pm estaba instalada en el hotel.

Nos quedamos en Comfort Inn Jupiter, súper estratégico, muy cerquita de la clínica.
Y esa sopita de La Granja con tres botellas de agua después de 18 horas sin comer ni tomar líquidos… me supo a gloria divina 🥣✨

Recomendación importantísima:
El cojín para dormir sentada es un MUST. No lo subestimen 🙌

Al día siguiente, el follow-up y listo… rumbo a casa.
Sin dolor. Sin molestias grandes. Con mucha paz.

En casa, mi tribu se ha encargado de TODO 🤍
Comidita lista, familia cuidada, cero estrés. Hoy, una semana después, entiendo algo:
la recuperación no solo es física… es mental y emocional.
Movimiento limitado, drenajes, antibiótico, compresas frías…
pero también caminatas suaves, mucho líquido y la medicina más poderosa: amor del bueno 🤍…. Gracias ❤️

Una semana… y contando. ✨

10 years.
Mentor 350cc silicone implants.

This patient came in struggling with night sweats, brain fog, fatigue, aches and pain — just feeling “off” and not like herself. She made the decision to remove her implants in hopes of getting answers.

What she did not know… she had TWO ruptured silicone implants.

This capsule cutting video shows exactly what we found~completely silent and undetected by her.

So many women are told, “If it’s not bothering you, it’s fine.” But sometimes the body whispers before it screams.

If you’ve had implants for years and don’t feel like yourself, it may be worth asking questions.

How to lose 5 pounds in 2 hours…

Explant surgery. 😅✌🏽

Yes! I’m literally holding what used to be part of me. And while I can laugh about it now, this decision wasn’t about weight that just sounded funny to me! … it was about health, healing, and listening to my body.

For a long time, I ignored subtle signs. Fatigue. Inflammation. Not feeling like myself. And one day I decided: my health is worth more than aesthetics. Choosing explant wasn’t easy, but choosing me was. Is it going to change my health drastically…. We will just have to wait and see. I hope it does 🙏🏼😊

This is your reminder that you are allowed to change your mind.
You are allowed to prioritize your health.
You are allowed to evolve.

Stronger. Lighter. More aligned. And very much at peace with this decision. 🙏🏼

If you’ve been thinking about making a health decision that scares you… this is your sign. Listen to your body. It whispers before it screams.

Five years after her breast explant surgery, this sweet patient sent me a video update to share what’s been happening with her implants over time. Thank you for sharing.

Faz uma semana que eu tirei meu silicone e se eu te disser que estou me sentindo NOVA você acredita?

Falaram que eram meus hormônios, marido pensou que eu estava ficando doidinha, criançada alerta para ver se eu estava irritada ou não… enfim…nem eu me reconhecia.

Se você estiver passando por alguns desses sintomas e possui silicone, ore a Deus para que a ele te revele se são eles os causadores de tudo isso.

Cada vez mais escuto mulheres que passaram por explantes e de como a qualidade de vida delas melhorou literalmente da noite para o dia!

Procure um profissional de confiança e vá sem medo!

Se você mora nos Estados Unidos e possui a condição de vir para a Flórida, recomendo o meu, Dr Rankin . A equipe dele é maravilhosa e a .hicks_explant_liaison tirará todas as suas dúvidas!

6️⃣5️⃣ years strong.

One month after surgery and already glowing with confidence. This 65-year-old patient underwent an anchor (wise pattern) lift with saline implant removal — and her results speak for themselves.

Age is not a limitation. It’s a reminder that it’s never too late to feel comfortable, confident, and aligned in your own body.

Friday, a patient underwent breast surgery in my office to remove her microchipped Motiva breast implants.

Some Motiva implants contain an embedded RFID microtransponder — a small device sealed inside the implant that stores identifying information like serial and manufacturing data.

Many women are surprised to learn their implants contain this microchip. For some, simply knowing a device is embedded inside their body — beyond the implant itself — is unsettling. They didn’t fully understand it at the time of placement. Others no longer feel comfortable having any form of implanted technology in their body.

When it comes to your health and your body, clarity matters. Knowing exactly what is inside you matters.

Final de julho do ano passado foi quando comecei a sentir que algo estava errado em meu corpo. Formigamento nos braços e pernas, palpitação no coração, falta de ar, depressão, fui parar no Hospital duas vezes achando que ia enfartar. O sangue nas minha veias pareciam que iam explodir delas. Irritabilidade fácil, insônia…falaram que era menopausa.

Até que Deus veio e me revelou em uma manhã ao acordar.

Ouvi aquela voz que vem de dentro soprando em meus ouvidos: “São seus implantes”.

No mesmo dia fiz várias pesquisas e descobri que eu sentia 90% dos sintomas do Breast Implant Illness (BII) ou a Doença do Silicone.

Deus me guiou para o melhor médico de explantes dos Estados Unidos, Dr e depois de ouvir a experiência da .hicks_explant_liaison tinha a absoluta certeza de que era isso que estava acontecendo comigo.

Em uma semana hoje eu estou aqui me recuperando mas já me sentindo cheia de vida e saúde!

Obrigada meu Deus por ser tão VIVO!

73 years young.

Silicone implants removed.
Anchor (wise pattern) lift performed.
Just 2½ months post-op.

She stopped by the office recently smiling, confident, and so incredibly happy with her decision.

It’s never about age — it’s about alignment. Feeling healthy and comfortable in your own skin. Making the choice that’s right for you.

Healing is still early… and she’s already glowing.
