Beyond Beauty: Liz Lugo Yohe's Inspiring Explant Journey

In this insightful podcast episode, we had the privilege of interviewing Liz Lugo Yohe, a remarkable entrepreneur and mentor in the beauty industry. Liz holds the distinguished title of being a senior executive director and a proud member of the elite "5 Million Dollar Club" within her company. Our conversation delved deep into Liz's personal journey, particularly her decision to undergo explant surgery. Liz shared her incredible story of having breast implants for an astonishing 13 years, she had three sets of implants and one explant, summing up to four surgeries. A pivotal moment in Liz's journey was her switch to silicone implants, which marked the onset of the most challenging symptoms she faced. In the episode, we explored the physical and emotional toll of living with implants, shedding light on the often-overlooked aspects of this experience. Liz also bravely opened up about the adverse effects she experienced, such as gaining weight, struggling with acne, emotional turbulence, enduring brain fog, and even experiencing panic attacks and anxiety. These symptoms were not only physically taxing but also emotionally draining. Above all, Liz's story is one of hope and empowerment. She firmly believes that her decision to explant saved her life, and her inspiring journey serves as a testament to the importance of making informed choices about our health and well-being.
