Breast Implant Illness and Breast Explants: Story Medicine with Lauren - Episode 93

In this week's episode, your host Danielle reconnects with Lauren, a friend from her early military career. After many years, they reunite to discuss Lauren's decision to remove her breast implants.

Lauren, now 34, is a mother, wife, friend, soldier, and an avid gym and running enthusiast. She resides in Worcestershire with her husband, their 2.5-year-old daughter, and their dog.

Lauren's perspective on life has shifted significantly since becoming a mother. She is on a path of self-discovery, working through childhood trauma, reclaiming her body, and striving to undo years of self-hatred.

She aims to set a positive example for her daughter and women everywhere who struggle in a society that imposes unrealistic expectations on appearance and behavior.

The conversation delves deeply into Lauren's decision to remove her breast implants, known as breast explant surgery.

She shares her initial decision to get implants while still serving in the military and the health issues that emerged, leading to her choice to have them removed. Despite the health challenges, this journey has allowed Lauren to reconnect with herself, question societal influences, and embrace her true self.
