Witness the incredible true stories of Breast Implant Illness survivors
as they recount their journey from surgery to body-positive acceptance.
Why I did it.
Because I didn’t love myself enough.
Because I wanted to feel sexy.
Because “she” had big breasts and “he” left me for her.
Because I thought I’d be happier.
Why I took them out.
Because they made me sick.
Because they almost killed me.
Because I wanted to live.
Because they don’t belong in my body.
Because they made me self conscious.
Because I am enough.
Because I love myself.
Because I am enough and I love myself.
