A message from Japan stopped me this morning.
A woman found our YouTube channel through Japanese subtitles. She learned about BII. She went on to have a successful implant removal and capsulectomy.
Now she’s sharing her concern — because in Japan, breast reconstruction with implants is still heavily recommended by the Japan Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
She couldn’t come to Austin. So she educated herself, advocated for herself, and is now healing on her own terms.
This is why we add subtitles.
This is why we keep showing up.
This is why this community exists.
BII doesn’t stop at borders — and neither does this information. 🌏
If you know someone who needs this, share it. You never know whose life you’re changing.
