This journey has had its share of ups and downs and personal realizations. I’ve learned that explant is only the beginning. I have a long road of emotional, spiritual, and physical healing ahead of me, and I’m finally able to accept all that entails.
I send heartfelt congratulations to all the ladies who have explanted and had great results. And for all of you ladies who, like me, are coming to terms with less-than-stellar results, I feel you.
It’s difficult for me to accept my deformed breast. Still, I intended that iamnotmyboobs would help me and other brave women have the courage and tenacity to look beyond body image.
My body does not define who I am as a person or woman–my will, actions, and how I choose to serve others are a glimpse of who I am.
I am powerful.
I can choose to accept or surrender the power of my feminity–no one can take away that which I am unwilling to give up.
I am a warrior woman. My physical attributes do not define me. I am more than my boobs, and so are you.
Are you contemplating getting implants or are suffering and want to learn about explant surgery?
If I can help you in any way, or you just want a listening ear, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
