At 48 years old, on April 10, 2026 i made the choice to have a breast explant & full capsulectomy. When I was 22 years old on October 24, 2000 I made the choice to get breast implants. This was a choice that went unnoticed by my body until about 6-7 years ago when I started having health issues.
I was silently going through what, at first, I thought were signs & symptoms of MS. Numerous MRIs with a new neurologist showed me ( thank God! ) that i did not have MS. Yet the persistent debilitating conditions continued.
After years of getting nowhere with several rounds of PT, Rheumatoid arthritis specialists, orthopedic surgeons, ENT specialists & testing, check-ins with my primary doctor, Endocrine specialists i was told I may have a condition called BII, breast implant inflammation.
After sitting down & accepting this diagnosis, after much research on my end, I felt 100% sure it was time to move forward & explant the toxic bags that had slowly taken over my life.
The implants were 25 & a half years old. They were growing bone & were attached to my serratus anterior muscle. I had nerve damage, weakened muscles & numbness.
As a Lymphatic Drainage Massage therapist, I knew how these saline filled, silicon outer shell foreign objects were impending my health.
It was time to take my life back!!
I was amazed at how quickly I immediately started to feel better as soon as I woke up from the surgery.
The recovery started the moment the surgeon removed them from my unhealthy body.
It has been 13 days since my explant, and I know it will take time for my body to adjust, the muscles to recover & the toxins to leave my system.
I am grateful I made this choice for myself & my health!
Looking back at pictures of me ( the last picture is what did it for me, seeing just how large & ridiculous my b***s were ) & how they constantly got in my way, at times needing to readjust them for certain massage moves & needing to flatten them in sports bras just to properly lift weights or run.
If you are having a mental & difficult time accepting perhaps your breast implants are affecting your livelihood, please reach out to me.
