Breast Implant Illness Explained: Symptoms, Explant, and Healing | Dr. Sande Bargeron

In this episode, Dr. Sande Bargeron returns for another powerful and deeply personal conversation. Today, we dive into breast implant illness, a topic we both know firsthand.

Dr. Sande and I share our personal implant stories, why we originally chose to get implants, the symptoms that followed, and the often overlooked reality of explant surgery and recovery. We talk honestly about the physical and emotional toll, the horror stories many women experience during removal, and what healing actually looks like on the other side.

We break down the differences between saline and silicone implants, what happens when silicone implants rupture, and why MRIs are recommended every five years to monitor implant integrity. We also discuss post explant recovery and detox strategies, including the options women have to support healing after removal.

I also share my own experience with stem cell fat transfer following explant surgery and what that process looked like for me.

This episode is for women who are questioning their symptoms, considering explant surgery, or simply want clear, honest information to make informed decisions about their health.
