One of the greatest privileges of my career has been listening to the women who come to me for explant surgery.

Many arrive after years of symptoms, uncertainty, fear, or frustration. Some are ready. Some are emotional. Many are both.

What I have learned is this: explant surgery is not just about removing implants. For many women, it is about feeling heard, feeling safe, and taking a step toward feeling like themselves again.

Every patient’s story matters, and I never take that trust lightly.

These Allergan TEXTURED silicone implants were 586cc, placed over the muscle, and had been in place for 11 years.

The capsules were found to be calcified, thickened, and extensively contracted, making it very difficult to even cut. The patient chose explant because she was experiencing severe pain and discomfort.

This is why we say: listen to your body. Pain, tightness, hardness, or changes around your implants should never be ignored.

The capsules were sent to pathology for further testing.

I did it. ✨

After sixteen years, I said goodbye to my implants and embraced the belief that I don’t need anything beyond what God has given me to be beautiful.

This wasn’t an easy decision, but it was one that had been weighing on my heart for a long time.

Every woman’s journey is different. If you love your implants and feel great, I am genuinely happy for you. This decision was simply the right one for me. But if you’ve been struggling with symptoms or health concerns that you can’t quite explain, it may be worth having a conversation and exploring all possibilities.

Today, I feel lighter than just physically. I feel free.

So here’s to coming full circle.
To embracing the itty bitty committee again.
To trusting myself.
To healing.
To loving the body God gave me.
And to confidence that isn’t conditional.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, checked in on me, shared your stories, and prayed for me along the way. Your kindness has meant more than you know.

Cheers to this next chapter. 🤍

There are certain words I hear again and again after explant surgery.

“I wish I did this sooner.”
“I feel lighter.”
“I can breathe.”
“I finally feel like myself again.”
“Thank you for listening.”

Every patient’s journey is different, but one thing remains the same: feeling heard matters.

If you’re considering explant surgery, start with education, ask questions, and listen to your body.

Textured breast implants have been linked to a rare cancer called BIA-ALCL, leading to recalls of certain devices.

This is for education only — not fear. If you have textured implants, know your implant history, stay informed, and speak with a qualified plastic surgeon about your options.

Knowledge is power. Your health comes first.
