Explant surgery booked!
$14,000
These toxic bags are being removed April 23rd with expert implant micro surgeon Dr. Stanwix.
If you're considering implants, ask your surgeon for the black box warning label.
I wish someone would have told me and I wish my surgeon would have had the decency to give me the choice to make an informed decision, It would have saved me my health and lots of money.

Mommy makeover Breast Implant from 2017 UPDATE!! please read
Happy New Year everyone! It's been a while since I've posted anything, I've been busy with life, career, etc.
But I did want to get on here and give an update on my MM from 2017 and let everyone know how things are going 6.5 years later.
My scars have all healed nicely, barely noticeable. I barely every feel that weird inside itch inside my tummy tuck area, it's there occasionally, but barely.
I've gained weight, I've lost weight, currently i'm back up again.
Now my breasts, they don't exactly look like they did when I first got surgery. They dropped a lot, they are no longer perky. More tear drop and saggy.
After about the 2nd year mark, I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, I went from no medical issues, very healthy, to one medical issue after another. I went on medication for 3 years and thankfully, it went away. In the meantime, I dealt with severe hair loss, Imsomnia, memory loss, brain fog, chronic fatigue, mood swings, depression, horrible hives, sharp shooting pain in one of my breast, blurred vision, severe dry eye, low libido, inflammation, shortness of breath, Lupus diagnosis came in 2023, a lump removed from my right breat removed in 2024, dry skin, Psoriasisis (all autoimmune), coughing spells that can last days but im not sick, muscle pain, joint paint.
But doctors don't know what's wrong with me. None of these things run in my family history either.
I'm currently researching breast implant removal surgeons. BII is real, plastic surgeons are not warning women of the dangers of breast implants and how toxic they really are. Women need to at least do they're own research and really be aware of what they are putting into their bodies because had I know, had I been aware, had I seen the warning label, had I been given a choice, I would have never done this to myself.

Funny you started having symptoms in 2019 because that is when my CC on my right breast started and things just snowballed after that. Like you I had my MM in 2017 and have had nothing but problems. I have some of the same symptoms as you as well, hair loss, severe brain fog, more severe migraines, fatigue, and pain (sometimes severe) in my Right breast, arm and shoulder. I had no idea what was happening, I just finally realized I needed the implants out.
I had my surgery yesterday (Jan 13th) and although I’m in some pain, I believe I will feel much better once I’m healed from surgery
I hope you find someone for your explant very soon and most if not all your symptoms disappear ❤️

Sorry you are experiencing these issues. I’ve hd no issues with mine.

Many years ago I thought I was going through BII. Until I did further research and realized I was going through perimenopause. All those symptoms I had which were similar to those above was early perimenopause. I’m thankful I didn’t remove my implants because I really love them. However research all sides of BII and make an informed decision. We all should be making informed decisions about our health. It’s nice to discuss all sides of implants. Good luck.

Hi Spunkcow, I agree. Not all women will react to toxic silicone like I am. I've done my research, I've also been very sick for a long time and getting worse. I wish I could say it has everything to do with peri/menopause but in my case, it does not.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas ladies!
It's been awhile since I've updated my review, life has been busy these past couple of months but not much has changed!
Not much to report, I'm in 1.5 years, swelling is minimal, still happens once in awhile when I eat too much sodium or if I drink alcohol which isn't often, I had gained 10lbs during summer week but lost 12 during autumn, getting on the scale, scared me straight! Lol
I still want to lose 10-15 lbs, new years resolution coming up!
I also had sculpsure done and in my opinion, that was a success, you can definitely see a difference in my back bra area, I'm still waiting on the clinic to send me the before and after they took of me and once I get them, i will update that review.
Anywho ladies, wishing you all a very merry Christmas, God bless

I chose him because he's experienced in explant and he believes in Bii (breast implant illness).
