Why I am Boobless After Breast Implant Illness | Lacey Marie | TEDxIdahoFalls
NOTE FROM TED: Please consult a medical professional and do not look to this to as a substitute for medical advice. The health effects of breast implants remain an emerging field of study. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf
As women, there are parts of us that inform our sense of feeling divinely feminine, and our own bodies are often emblematic of our womanhood. So what happens when a significant aspect of your own body turns toxic? Confronted with that very reality, Lacie Marie made the difficult decision to not only have her breast implants removed due to toxicity, but also chose to have her entire breasts removed because of genetic markers for cancer. Lacie Marie shares her amazing story of making the difficult decision, learning how to accept herself and reclaim her femininity beyond the social expectations of how a woman is "supposed" to be shaped. Boobless and Fabuless is her mantra. Lacey Marie believes flatter is better. After years of dealing with seemingly random health issues and being near death, she discovered it was all connected to the size of her breasts. Lacey learned she had Breast Implant Illness, plus two genetic markers for breast cancer so she made the decision to have both her implants and her breast removed.
Through this process, she realized there’s a gross lack of resources and support for Breast Implant Illness, which has empowered her to use her story and advocate for more women to become Boobless and Fabuless. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
