Breast Implant illness, Removal Journey: My Shocking Update

6 Years After Explant Surgery | My Honest Update on Breast Implant Illness (BII)

Six years ago, I made the decision to remove my breast implants after 18 years because I believed I had Breast Implant Illness (BII). I shared my story the day before surgery, full of hope and uncertainty. You can watch my initial video here:    • Explant Breast implant illness journey - d...  .

But the truth is, my healing journey didn’t go as I had expected. It’s taken me 6 years to come back and share what really happened, the challenges I faced, and what I’ve learned since then.

In this video:

I share my honest experience of life after explant surgery.
What went right—and what went wrong.
Photos of what an exploded implant looks like once removed.
My tips for anyone needing help with wound care after surgery.
What I would do differently if I were to remove my implants again.
If you’re navigating your own journey with breast implants or considering explant surgery, I hope my story provides clarity, hope, and support. Healing is not always linear, but it is possible.
