I am raising funds to support a medically necessary breast explant surgery. This procedure will remove my breast implants and surrounding capsule tissue due to chronic inflammation and symptoms consistent with Breast Implant Illness. I received implants at a young age following a breast deformity and multiple corrective surgeries. Over time, I developed ongoing physical symptoms including chest inflammation, pain, skin issues, and nervous system distress. With a family history of breast cancer, prioritizing my long-term health has become essential. This surgery is not cosmetic—it is a necessary step toward healing and preventing further complications.
The financial burden of an en bloc capsulectomy, recovery care, and the time needed to heal is significant. I am currently facing mounting medical bills, travel expenses to reach a qualified surgeon, and the costs of post-surgical care. Your support will help me focus on my recovery and ensure I can access the care I need without additional stress.
What This Fund Covers
• Surgery and medical fees
• Travel, and accommodations for the procedure
• Recovery care and post-operative support
• Basic living expenses while I’m unable to work
Every dollar goes directly toward getting me safely through surgery and recovery.
