My Explant Story | Breast Implant Regrets
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- This is the start of my explant story. Even though it is a hard thing to share, I want to share my story in hopes that it will make a difference for other people. Since I started sharing my story of the fact that my breast implants I have gotten so many messages from women telling me that it made them aware of why they may have been feeling unwell for years. Although this illness is starting to be recognized and better understood, we still have a ways to go in bringing awareness to this issue. I hope to help other women, as the stories that I read, and watched have given me courage to act.
For me, it is sometimes hard to show up as I really am and as I truly feel. I have been holding the pieces together and trying to film and be my best. My health and energy has not held up and allowed me to do what I so badly want to be able to do. This is life right now, but I know it will be getting better soon.
Many people have asked who my surgeon is. I have a surgery date with Dr. Jae Chun of Newport beach. www.myplastics...
A few things I have already bought for my surgery:
Dr Rogers healing balm (instead of neosporin) - amzn.to/3OJKwhf
My favorite recovery bra - amzn.to/37Sz81V
Wedge Pillow - amzn.to/3EYnw9M
I hope you realize how many of your symptoms are the same as peri/post menopause. I went through menopause at 45 I am now 47 and estrogen and progesterone got rid of 90% of those same symptoms! I’m removing my implants because I dont like they way they look or feel, but no matter what your reason don’t feel bad for crying! It’s emotional either way. it’s like a bad breakup! You’re quite beautiful!
It might sound the same, but it is not that. I'm actually not close to going through it, but I appreciate the thought. Thank you for the kind words:)
Our stories are so similar!
This journey has inspired me to start sharing on RUclips which was scary because this is so private but I want to help other women too!
Thanks for sharing!
It was hard to share, but important. I have worked harder on regaining my health this year than at any other time. I hope that my sharing helps others:)
My explant surgery is scheduled for October 14th. I’m so ready to feel better. I have 13 BII symptoms. Hopefully, I’ll have a much happier Christmas. Good luck to you, and thank you for sharing. It’s nice to know you’re not alone.
I hope you start feeling better soon!
Good luck for your upcoming surgery. I just stumbled upon this video due to my recent over 15 months breast implant surgery … anyways I came across your comment and saw that your surgery is coming up in 2 weeks. Soo good luck!
Thank you so much. I was actually able to move it up. I had surgery yesterday, so I’m officially one day post op. I’m so sore, but already so glad I did it.
@@laurashivers9682 oh that’s brilliant. Take care of yourself. I’m consulting with a plastic surgeon in January. And hopefully 🙏 will have an explant surgery date by the spring or early summer. My symptoms are getting incredibly worse. And I’ve only had my breast implants for 16 months. Rest & take care of your self. Healthy recovery ❤️🩹 and what a wonderful choice you’ve made for your self.
@@laurashivers9682 🤍
Thank you for sharing your story. You are helping so many people by being so open. I had breast implants removed many years ago due to health issues and I felt so much better afterwards. Symptoms that I had been having went away and autoimmune markers improved and eventually went back within "normal" range. Now, I'm dealing with chronic health issues due to toxic mold exposure and I appreciate you sharing your experience with that as well. Wishing you a smooth surgery and continued strength on your healing journey.
I think those of us that are sensitive to one thing may also be sensitive to others. The same things do effect the health of other people as well. I think that w tend to feel the effects faster though.
My dear Meghan. You are such an inspiration to me in many different ways. I've never had implants but hearing all the side effects caused by implants are much of what I have felt for years. You have been brutally honest and you have been so very brave. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I will continue to pray for your good health and willingness to help other on different topics. Your positive attitude is a big part in your healing.
Thank you so very much!
It's a shame so many plastic surgeons only care about lining their pockets. I feel confident the sooner you get this surgery over with the sooner you will feel better!!! Saying prayers for you Megan.
It’s so hard for me to say if it’s really true. I honestly do think that there are a lot of great plastic surgeons, and I’m just not sure if they are really aware of the bad side effects that certain women are having. I also feel like it’s more the FDA‘s responsibility than the plastic surgeons themselves. I guess it’s probably a mix of both, but the FDA should be working to make sure that breast implants are safer for women. I really appreciate your kind words and support, thank you so much!
Megan, I am so excited for your surgery! I have been really enjoying your MOLD series and I am so moved by your love of learning, compassion, and such courage. Thank you for sharing your journey, and you do look beautiful without makeup ! - Natalia/raynok
Thank you so much beautiful. Just finally replying to my comments after such a busy year. I really appreciate those kind words.
After 24 years with implants (originals where replaced 14 years ago) I finally decided to explant. My surgery is scheduled for September 14 and I can’t wait to be free of this toxic saline bags. I’m nervous and excited. Good luck with your recovery.
Wow! Congratulations on doing this! I'm so glad you are excited. It is a journey, and just know that there will be ups and downs. It was hard for me when I first saw my results after surgery (not because they were not good, they were great) but I felt bad that I had put my body through it. They have healed beautifully, and I am really happy that I did it for my health. Sometimes I miss "the look" I had...but I don't miss the pain and inflammation. It is a process of becoming comfortable with your natural self for sure.
How did it go? My surgery is booked for tomorrow. 🙏🏼
@@KellyChildsXO Hope you have a quick recovery. I’m almost three weeks out from explant, capsulectomy and lift. I’m very happy to be implants free and I’m loving my smaller breast.
Megan, real prayers for you as you get the two toxic items removed. And so glad you have an excellent surgeon for it. Remember Yorkie therapy-let them give you loves! 💛🙏🏽
Thank you so much for your kind words. I too am so grateful to have such an excellent surgeon. I am loking forward to healing, and feeling much better soon:)
@@MeganGraham 🤗
I hope you feel better you have so many beautiful exploration in the new camper to do this summer ☀️
You are so kind Leslie, I agree with you 100 percent....and that is what is especially motivating to me❤️
Dear Megan, thank you for sharing this. You need to know that you are helping a lot of women with this video. You are amazing and such a strong woman by showing your health issues in life. Because of that hopely a lot women aren’t afraid anymore to search help for their own health issues. So we need your videos. Your surgery will go fine and we will follow your journey. Take care and hope to see you soon in a new video, feeling a lot better.
Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful comment. It honestly means the world to me that I have such a kind and supportive community here. It is really hard for me to open up and show how I’m really looking and feeling right now, but my hope is that I’m going to help other women to figure out why they also may be feeling unwell. It’s always so much better to find meaning in a difficult situation. If I can help other women get well, or avoid having this happened in the first place… Then it really softens the blow of having this happen to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch, and for stopping by with such a supportive thing to say. Stay healthy and beautiful! Megan
My name is Viktoria ( I come up under my husband account) I have been following you for a while because of mold exposure ... and your videos have been such a blessing! I am so sorry for extra pain you are going through.., but in a way glad that you found out what is the cause and heading that direction!!, may God give you courage, strength, and healing! Praying for your surgery.
I had to get my tooth out that had root canal that failed because of mold , and and afraid to get implants . So agree with you that there is soo many things are offered out there that have such a negative impact on our health... and seems it’s all about $$$...praying for fast recovery and total improvement in your health so you can bless many more through your experience . We are with you , 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words.
Every single thing that I have done to support, my health has made a difference.
It’s never just one thing, but all of the changes have been worth it :-)
Stay healthy and beautiful! Megan
Glad to not feel so alone!!!! I have all the same symptoms
Are you also going to get an explant?
Megan, you are beautiful inside and out. I suffer from a condition called Fibromyalgia and it makes me feel so ill everyday. There are so many symptoms that go with the condition. I understand how it feels to be so poorly and people think its all in your head. Please stay strong, I think you are an amazing person and it makes my day and gives me something to look forward to when you post about your fur babies. I have learnt so much on yorkie care through your videos, I will be getting a yorkie puppy once I have moved. 💞💞xx
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I did not know that you suffer from fibromyalgia. You know exactly what I mean❤️. It is certainly a strange experience to look (pretty) normal, but to feel awful. I am sorry that you have experience this as well. hugs❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wishing you the best of health! I agree with you on the questioning of why these things are allowed. Relax and know you are on the right path!
Thank you so much. I’m definitely glad that I had mine removed. I think it’s definitely up to the individual what they want to do, but personally, I wish I had had a fat transfer as opposed to breast implants. I think it’s a much safer option.

Thanks for sharing your story! I found you through researching methods to heal from mold toxicity for me and my cat. I had my explant back in September and definitely noticed improvements in my health since then.
But I just found out that I’ve been living in a home with mold for the past 2 years. I’m moving to a brand new place in a 2 weeks thankfully. Just interesting how our journeys are flipped. You’ll feel so much better after the explant. Especially with everything you’ve been doing. There’s a really great podcast by integrative wellness radio all about BII and mold.
Also, ozone therapy has been amazing for me. I’ve been doing it at home but now that I know about the mold I’m going to try IV ozone as well. 💕
Hi Raven,
I hope that you and your cat are healing really well. I am fairly certain that the same people that suffer from mold toxicity are also the same people that tend to suffer from breast implant illness. For various reasons, organ function etc. I’m definitely looking forward to completing this step of my healing. It’s so interesting because I really didn’t think it could be a part of it, but it really makes a lot of sense now. Quite a long journey getting back to optimal health!
I’m having mine removed tomorrow. I’m anxious, happy, scared, nervous….a new life is about to emerge. ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for your honesty. Collectively it helps each and every woman who has taken this journey.
Good luck on your surgery
I hope you are healing so well! I am so sorry to just be answering this❤️❤️❤️❤️
I used a surgeon who is not convinced of #BII…but have trusted him for years. One of the best in Canada. I feel great. It’s been two weeks out. I feel healthy and strong. I’m trying to find a lymph massage person. He couldn’t get all my capsule out and it’s kind of really bothering me. He said he had to leave a bit of my capsules behind on each side. The size of a quarter he said. They were attached to my rib cage wall. :(
I can only visualize healing vibes only. 🙏🏼 💕
Thank you! 💓
@@KellyChildsXO I hope that the discomfort resolves soon. I’m glad that you’re feeling good and healthy. I do know that my surgeon Dr. Chuns sees a lot of people that have residual capsule left over from their original explant surgery. But I am hoping that you are not someone who will need another surgery! I’m sure it’s dependent on each person situation, and if you’re feeling really good now that’s a great sign!
I applaud you Megan for having your breat implants removed. I honestly didn't know the surgery was called Explant😮. My daughter had them put in 16 years ago. She nursed 4 boys and said her breasts were smaller and had some girlfriends who encouraged her to get the implants. Last month she had them removed and she said the surgery went well. She didn't realize just how sick she was becoming. Im sure its a head trip for any woman going through this. I pray you are back to normal soon. Your transparency to share your story just could save lives! God bless you❤
Thank you so much for your kind words. It certainly has been quite the journey. I am glad that I removed them, and I do believe it took a burden off of my body. I continue to work and spend time getting my health back. It is slow, but little by little I am getting better. That is so brave that your daughter had hers out. It is for sure a challenging thing to go through. ❤️. Praying for a full return to health and vitality for your beloved daughter.
I’ve breastfed 3 children. My boobs are not what they were when I was 25 and although all over instagram women have perfect fake boobs. I have decided that I will stay natural the rest of my life bc looking “cute” is not worth feeling sick. I already struggle with possible mold issues that I self diagnosed after watching your mold video.
It’s funny, I was trying to describe recently to a woman who was considering getting implants… And she was starting to have second thoughts.
I told her, they can look great if you’re feeling good, but once your health starts to suffer and you can barely get out of bed, and are experiencing several other issues… They really just don’t seem worth it anymore.
Personally, I think it’s good to think about them in the worst case scenario. Although it may not happen to every single person, it certainly does happen and at this point I know several other women that have experienced very similar results to mine.
Just a thought, you do have other options other than the two options of implants, or staying completely natural. Sometimes women feel very happy after getting a mastoplexy, which some surgeons referred to as a Lift There is also another option of a fat transfer. I personally would not be willing to risk doing a fat transfer because there is liposuction involved, and I always feel like liposuction could turn out well or not.
Past a certain point plastic surgery starts to feel a bit like gambling to me, and I just have to sort of sit back and be grateful for what I have naturally.
I bet you look absolutely beautiful:-) I certainly would’ve felt more beautiful if I didn’t get my implants in the first place, but I guess it was just some thing that I had to go through.
I just share my story in hopes that it’s helpful to people as they’re making their decision. When I look back at how I looked before implants, I can’t believe how perfect I looked. But at the time it just wasn’t enough. I’m really glad to be back to you as close to myself as I’ll ever be again.❤️
Thank you for sharing your story! This message is so important. We're not imagining these things. The science is there!
I've had breast implants since I was 19. 19 years total. I recently had them replaced 2 years ago with Saline. Since my last surgery my health has declined significantly. There's days I can't get out of bed. Depression, suicidal thoughts, swelling of legs and ankles, Raynolds syndrome, 30 lb weight gain in the last year, I'm active and have a very clean diet and can't manage to lose. New food allergies. Last year I was diagnosed with Lyme and then EBV. Now I have adrenal fatigue. I have a Candida rash on my foot and back that won't clear. My lymph nodes are constantly swollen and painful (we ruled out lymphoma) My face has rapidly aged. I can't wait to have these things out. Ladies, ALL breast implants can cause BII. Yes even saline. Please love and care for your body. They are ticking time bombs. You're system can only handle them for so long. You don't need implants.
I'm so sorry this is happening. Our bodies can reject them at any point in time. You didn't move into a new home around that time, or have a leak in your home did you?
I pray that you feel better real soon 🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I had Stage 2 B breast cancer in 2009. It was in my right breast. I opted in 2011 to then have my healthy left breast removed. Because I needed radiation (33 sessions) on the right breast .. I decided to have no implants. Like “enough is enough already” with the surgeries, radiation & going bald from chemo. But it’s 2022. That two-year nightmare is over now. Countless prayers were spoken over me. And yeah I’m breastless but I’m here. There is life after breasts or breast construction in your case. There is grief though. All loss has grief attached. Expect that. In time, you learn to “absorb the loss” & you can truly talk about it without shedding one tear. But Megan that takes time. Be patient with yourself. Absorb the loss. Move forward. Pray. Trust. Heal. Wellness is most definitely waiting for you ✨🙌🏼🙏🏽🙌🏼✨ Promise😉
Thank you so much for your beautiful ( and kind) comment. I have had so much happen the last few months I almost didn't get to really "feel" all the feelings yet. I am grateful that I got them out though. I have had to do a lot for my health, but each layer has made such a difference.
I suffered for 9 years with endometriosis, had a bowel resection in 93, in 96 I had an hysterectomy, last year I had 2 operations for breast cancer and one to remove the gallbladder, 3 surgeries in 6 weeks...I am still here, humans are very resilient, enjoy your pups, try to relax, you will be fine
Wow! You are a true warrior, what an amazing journey you have had. Thank you so much for your beautiful and comforting words. I agree with you that humans are resilient. I believe that when we take away the things that are assaulting our bodies, and nourish our bodies with what they actually need… They have the ability to heal in time. Stay healthy and beautiful! Megan
Hang in there, Megan. Your breakthrough is just around the corner.
Thank you! I really appreciate your inspiring words. :-)
I really feel for you and other women going through this. ❤
Thank you:)
Megan, I wish you all the BEST. I will be praying for you, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words!
I completely understand what you are going through it’s an emotional roller coaster. I had my implants for 9 yr as well after my pregnancy the complications started. I blamed it on post pregnancy with back pain for a yr 2nd symptoms was hair loss. And that’s when I realized it was bii !A month after my hair loss locking fingers and stings throughout my body. Explanted August 2021 and 90% better! I hope everything goes smoothly with ur surgery and you get better sending you prayers.
I never would have imagined that could happen. I think that the doctor that did them originally did a great job, but having a foreign object in ones body just isn't a good idea (at least for me).
I also have my explant surgery scheduled with Dr. Chun the first week of June.
Oh my gosh! I can’t believe that we are both seeing him only about a week apart.
How are you feeling in preparation to your surgery? Are you feeling ready for it? I feel like I have gone through so many different emotions… I mostly feel ready although I’m glad I still have a couple of more weeks to come to terms with it.
Most of all I’m just looking forward to feeling better.
I just see this post. I started following you because I'm in the process to find a mini Yorki for first time. I'm not familiar with this breed and I'm looking for information and suddenly I saw this video and surprisingly I have breast implants and I also schedule an appointment for take it out. I don't know for sure if my symptoms are for the breast but for sure is not good to have something that is not part of your body. Thank you for share your story. I'm struggling with many problems with my stomach like SIBO that is the main healthy problem that I have. I'm not sure if the root cause is the breast implant but for sure I don't want it anymore. I'm glad that you are healing and also that you are sharing your story so other women can take a sedition to no make the same mistake that we did. thank you also for this channel!.
I am so sorry that you are struggling with your health. Although none of us can be certain that explanting will solve our health issues, I know for certain that having them doesn't help our health. I live the healthiest life I can. Filtering my air and water, buying organic food, voiding all fragrance and purchasing non toxic products- so I knew that having silicone bags in my body was not a good thing for me.
I did notice positive changes from explanting and I feel so happy that it is done. I don't have to have surgery to replace my implants every ten years now, and the pain I felt is gone.
Just know that for many people, they may not experience massive health changes right after (as is often shown on the internet). I hope that your surgery goes very smoothly! My best, Megan
Get well soon Megan 🙏🏼 everything will turn out ok!!
Thank you so much for your support, it is much appreciated!
Removing my implants the inflammation went down really fast. My hands are not in pain or my feet. I feel so much better even my triglycerides are normal.
That is great that it was helpful to you! I am so glad that I took mine out as well:)
Please Recover Soon ❤ You are a very nice lady Is just time you need to heal outside and inside. You will be ok 😊
Hi Martha, thank you so much. I’m looking forward to getting my surgery so I can start to recover. I really appreciate your nice thoughts :-)
I am so glad I watched your video tonight! I was just diagnosed with breast cancer and I was going to get my breast removed and get implants but know I think I will just get my lump removed. No implants for me!
Lynn I had to have a double mastectomy 7 years ago and they encouraged me to get implants and I just felt uneasy about it and decided against after having the consultation. I have never regretted my decision. I had fought cancer for 12 years before the mastectomies
@@patriciaswalve7088 I see the surgeon Monday this is my second round of cancer ! I was cancer free for 14 years! Thank you for writing to me!
@@lynnedorris91 you are most welcome. Seems we are a community of survivors tied together. I know it’s a tough decision but keep your option open to have a mastectomy. I didn’t have a choice in the one because it was evasion but the other one I had a lump but they got it all but I told them take both because I didn’t want to live under the fear of it returning again. I had gone thru removal 3 times. I will certainly keep you in my prayers for Monday and for guidance. If you ever are down and need to talk I would be open to messaging. I live in Arkansas.
I have had several challenges the last two years that has been hard to overcome but my precious little Yorkiepoo has helped. Sending a Hug.
@@patriciaswalve7088 awww thank you so much and you are in my prayers also🙏 I will message you and tell you what my dr says. I live inCalifornia. My yorkie keeps me very busy. Sending hugs.
I’m so glad that my video was helpful.
Many folks don’t know that they also have the option of a fat transfer.
There is a doctor in the Carolinas that specializes in this. I believe his name is Dr. Bednar. His work looks really nice.
I’m so sorry you’re experiencing all these horrible issues. Wishing you great health after the implant removal. Wanna hear something crazy? All the symptoms you have, Im having, but I never got implants. I think my symptoms are from my mirena I had for a LOOONG time. I finally got it removed I think 5 yrs ago and just started to feel a little better about a year ago. I think with me there’s other factors as well maybe idk. But anything foreign in our bodies that’s just not suppose to be there is going to cause problems down the road. I learned that the hard way! Also when I had my mirena removed there was a great amount of women going through what I was going through and still am going through even though I had it removed. There was a huge class action law suit against the mirena. CRAZY RIGHT?! I was never compensated though. I just want my health back. I know you’re strong and I’m strong, Soooo… Here’s to getting better girl!! 🥂
Thank you so much for your comment and I hope your health continues to flourish.
Our bodies can have a similar reaction to so many different foreign objects, or inflammatory substances.
I think that’s why it can be especially difficult to get to the bottom of Issues… And it’s also often times more than just one thing.
I want to say that, first off, I only started to follow you because of the dogs. I know you make other videos about this and that but, the dogs really grabbed my attention. Especially because I miss my dog so much and it’s always so nice to see yours. I especially love to see them running free in such a nice home and to be cared for by such a nice person.
I’m up late and I saw this. I have to tell you that real men don’t need a woman to have breast implants. I don’t even like the idea of them. Not in a snobby way. But because they’re dangerous.
Besides, I love women and think they are most beautiful when they’re natural. Any shape breast is wonderful. And you are a lovely lady.
I only hope that your surgery goes very well and that you can escape all of these horrible feelings and side effects. But, don’t apologize for the emotions, anyone watching appreciates your raw truth. Get well soon and hug a little yorkie baby for me.
Hello there. First of all I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to stop by. Your comment was so kind, and supportive and I really appreciate it. I wasn’t sure about sharing this video, but… It has been a big part of my life and my health right now, and I always try to be totally “me“ on my channel.
I hope to have lots of wonderful Yorkie content, and other happy content coming soon when I feel so much better. Have a great day!
Megan
I had my explant done 6 days ago and my surgeon is affiliated with a local hospital network. My insurance actually covered it! General anesthesia. My implants were 16 years old. 😓 I feel so much better already! I recommend finding a surgeon in a hospital and seeing if your insurance will cover it. Explain your symptoms.
I am so glad it was helpful!
Did you get the capsule removed too or just the implant?
I forgot, we har to have one of the bathrooms torn down because we had mold inside the walls, lol, it was a mess, in a couple of months you will be all better, trust me, you are young and take good care of yourself, you have pups, the best remedy and the best company, I had yorkies since 2001, they kept me upbeat and busy.
Thanks so much!
Another big trigger is electromagnetic radiation. I had MANY symptoms, including tachycardia, tinnitus, swollen glands, dizziness, etc. and was on my way to going bald, literally. I gave up Wi-Fi and put my phone on airplane mode, hard wired my lap top, stopped radiating myself, major detoxed and here I am three years later my hair is thicker than ever and at a cellular level I feel I have almost completed the long road to healing. Did it require life style changes? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely.
I, too, have traveled the mold/chemical/leaky gut/candida road so I know all about healing myself. This prepared me to discern what was making me sick and causing me to age rapidly: radiation! The cell phone is a radiation device. Wi-Fi is a military grade weapon. Neither is safe. Even baby monitors operate with WiFi. This should be against the law but once again, Big Industry wins out over human health. Blessings and peace. ~marie
You are correct. EMFS are a big mast cell trigger for sure. They exacerbate so many issues. Thank you for sharing❤️❤️
Megan , you are very brave , you will be the best you can be , as always.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Everything went so well.
Oh dear Megan......such loving energy your way. You will be and already are going to have perfect health son.xoxoxo
Thank you Suzanne❤️❤️
I’m so sorry you are going through this. Please let us know how you are now that your surgery is over. All the symptoms you mentioned are also what we chronic Lyme patients suffer from.
Hi there, my surgery was great, and very helpful❤️❤️
@@MeganGrahamplease post an update and tell us about it. I’ve had a lot of BII symptoms for years…brain fog & also can’t remember words. It would help others for us to hear how your surgery went and if your symptoms stopped after explanting.
Hi Megan, I found you through Mycotox searches. I’m so sorry to see your distress with what you’re going through, I wish you all the best with your removal.
I know you’ve moved and were feeling better but have you had your mycotoxin levels checked recently?
Apart from the bumps and implant pain, everything else sounds very familiar.
Hi there,
Per usual it’s really never just one thing.
I think people often think it’s implants, or mold, but often times it’s a mixture of several.
There’s really no need to identify just one thing, as it’s really all about Getting that overall toxic burden to be lower.
And yes, of course, I check my levels frequently. Thank you so much. :-)
I just had mine removed a month ago. You’ll be okay! You’ll be amazed with how good it feels to get them out but just as easy you’ll forget how uncomfortable they were. I am curious if a replacement would have done the trick. In a relationship aspect it’s a bit of a mental battle to get over but in time you’ll get used to seeing your self with a natural breast. And just be okay with having emotional days. I tell myself I can always get them again if it feels worth it. I still have my night sweats. And a lot of it I think is hormonal due to age or in my case a workout aholic . Definitely take them out but maybe a replacement could do the trick?
That's great that you had yours out. I would never in my wildest dreams put implants back in again. I have been sick for years. Not worth the risk to be for a second.
I removed mine , very scarred now because I had a proper explant and do not feel any better at all , I totally regret the removal and no longer believe in BII I have fibromyalgia period .
Hi Sweetie,
I'm so sorry lady 😢
I hope you feel better very soon 💓 💖 💕.

Hi there, thank you so much for stopping by with such kind and supportive words. I really appreciate you doing so, it makes a big difference to me.
having my implants out 5 August!! Thank you for your story....!!!!!!
How are you recovering?
You are so brave and beautiful. So proud of you. XOXO Mom
Thank you so much, love you!
I’ll have to look for your new video after healing a bit from the removal. I have CIRIS and the HLA-DR gene where your body doesn’t detox right. I unknowingly was working and living in hidden mold. I was doing kinda ok and the surgery pushed it over the edge for me. I have had health issues my whole life so when I developed symptoms for my breast implants, I didn’t relate them to my implants. I got them 2008 when we barely used the internet and then replaced Dec 2015 same style & brand just thought I was doing the right thing. However they don’t replace the scar capsule! I know I would’ve always had issues having CIRIS but the implants have caused me so much more sickness then what would have happened. I can’t wait to get mine out. Just wish the Black Box Warning ⚠️ was on the implants before I got them. I would have chosen not to.
I am so happy for you that you are getting yours out:)
It's going to be ok megan 💟
Yes it is:). I am actually getting excited about my surgery, because I know it is going to make all the difference:) Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me❤️
Do you have an update for us? Have your symptom improved since getting them removed?
Yes they have.
Bless you, sending love ❤️
Thank you so much for your kindness, you guys have no idea of how much it means to me. ❤️
Sending positive vibes...best of luck.🥰
Thank you so much, it went great!
Hi and tk u for sharing. I have the recalled implants. No one contacted me to tell me of the Recall. My health is terrible. All I'm being told is...ultrasound showed they're ok so why get them removed. Seriously I don't want to wait to get the non h cancer. I can't afford to have removal so I'll be approaching the company Allergan to pay for removal.
You are welcome!
Is there going to be an update, how are you feeling six months after explant?
Hi there, if you look at my videos you’ll see that I’ve done some live stream videos which would be my updates.
I know that those videos are a bit harder to find but just click on my page and you’ll see some update videos for sure.
The surgery was well worth it
@@MeganGrahamwhy aren’t you making/posting regular videos anymore? Are you still having symptoms?
Are you going to do a flow-up?
If you look in the live section of my videos I have done some:)
I'm 20 hrs post explant of 25 yr old saline implants. Little sore, no drains thankfully (they were still clear and no sign of leakage). Supposed to sleep on recliner 1 wk, that is really difficult. But thankfu got these things out. Noone told me about BII, i found it online and was like wow I have almost every symptom.
Wow! That is incredible that you figured it out, and brave that you removed them.
Best of luck to you God bless
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I’ve been wanting breast implants so badly. I am scared of breast implants illness and no money to remove
It’s an extra body part, that has heavy metals, chemicals and causes inflammation in your body. I never thought they could cause a problem and me and now it will cost me $50,000 plus to take them out. If I had it all to do over again I would never do them again.
@@MeganGraham I definitely don’t have that at all …. I already have a plate and screws in my cervical spine and daily occipital neuralgia in pain I guess I just thought maybe if I could fill out tops and bras I would feel better about myself and also losing my career at least I would have something
Why did you get them in the first place? Are they saline or silicone? My gf insisted on getting them & she had lots of issues. It seems even with saline... the plastic they are in leeches into the body. I wish you the best.
Beverly Hills, and they are silicone. (were)
When is your surgery?? I don't see any update videos. Did anything improve if you've already had your surgery?
Hi there, you should check my live stream videos and you will see that there are some updates. It went really well, and yes I’ve seen some very positive changes. It was one of the best decision I’ve ever made in my entire life. Are you considering doing it yourself?
@@MeganGrahamI am considering it - wish you had made videos for after the surgery & with updates!
What implant brand did you have? Is that Allergan?
I can't remember what they were anymore. So glad they are out though.
Do you have silicone or saline implants ? I had a double mastectomy 10 yrs ago and I feel terrible ever since my silicone implants!
I used to have silicone implants, but it is worth noting that all implants, I believe, have a silicone coating so, even if your implants are not silicone filled, they are still made with silicone.
I wish I would of never got implants.
I know exactly what you mean. That’s how I felt about mine.
Are you thinking about getting yours removed?
I am glad that I did get mine removed, there are probably a few things I would’ve done differently… Looking back on it now, but I’m still happy that I did it.
Maybe you’re going thru perimenopause?
Hi, no...I am not.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was thinking of getting mine done in December and I have been watching similar videos and honestly I'm totally over getting mine done.🤍
That is awesome news! Thank you for telling me that, it made my day ❤️❤️❤️
