The Radical Choice Most Surgeons Won't Offer You with Lacey Marie
Lacey Marie spent years fighting for her life against breast implant illness, bouncing between specialists who removed everything except the one thing she knew was making her sick, her implants. When genetic testing revealed she carried markers for breast cancer, an oncologist told her she was "lucky" because they could just remove her breast tissue and keep her implants. That's when she started pushing back. In this raw conversation, Lacey reveals why aesthetic flat closure remains a hidden option for most women, how geographic location dictates your surgical choices, and what happened when she finally got surgeons to listen. This isn't just about choosing not to reconstruct, it's about fighting for the right to make that choice in the first place.
IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL:
* Discover why aesthetic flat closure is rarely presented as an option and what that reveals about medical bias in women's health
* Understand how dense breast tissue, implants, and genetic markers create a perfect storm for surveillance challenges
* Learn what "botched" flat closure really means and why surgeons leave excess tissue "just in case you change your mind"
* Explore the mental health journey of reclaiming femininity and sexuality without breasts
* Break through the access barriers that determine which reconstruction options you'll even hear about based on where you live
