3 Years Breast Implant Free! Here are my biggest lessons so far.

11/13/24 • 25 min

Transformative journeys often start with a single, courageous decision. Three years ago, I made the choice to remove my breast implants—a decision that profoundly altered my health, self-worth, and understanding of beauty. Join me as I share personal reflections on stepping away from superficial beauty habits like Botox and acrylic nails, and embracing a more natural lifestyle. This episode is not just a celebration of living implant-free but an exploration into how redefining beauty standards and focusing on long-term well-being can lead to true confidence and happiness from within. Whether you're considering explant surgery or navigating your own path to self-healing, my experiences offer insights and encouragement to embrace your own journey of transformation.

My Unexpected Standoff with a Plastic Surgeon at a Weekend BBQ: Breast Implant Risk vs Reward

Who needs a shrink when you could have a boob job? Join me in this conversation as I decompress after an unexpected encounter with a plastic surgeon at a weekend BBQ that unfolded into a spirited discussion about breast implants, explant surgery, and breast implant illness (BII). This episode explores the psychological motivations behind seeking plastic surgery and highlights the importance of awareness and transparency in surgical consultations.
Our dialogue peels back the layers of the emotional and physical journey many women face when deciding on breast implants. We confront the initial allure and confidence boost these procedures offer, juxtaposed with the troubling long-term health concerns that can arise. Despite differing views on risk vs reward, the conversation with the surgeon serves as a reminder of the importance of informed decision-making.
What do you think? I invite you to share your thoughts on this episode and your experiences speaking with surgeons about BII and implant risks. Shoot me a DM on IG or come chat in the Empowered Explant facebook group.
I also appreciate your advocacy! Share this episode so this message can reach more women who need to hear it!
