    I have had implants now for 8 years and have had Health Issues and ALOT of them for almost 3 years now! I went to a surgeon last year to chat about Explanting and I’ve been researching things for a long time – this may have just convinced me to go ahead! I also had NOTHING after breastfeeding 4 kids so the fear of going back to this is VERY real… but like you said – it doesnt define you!
