Summary: Empowered Explant, founded by wellness expert Darnah Mercieca, celebrates three years as a trusted platform for women pursuing breast implant removal and recovery support. Empowered Explant offers resources, coaching, and a community focused on holistic healing and confidence restoration.

A Unique Milestone in Women’s Wellness and Holistic Recovery

Empowered Explant, founded by board-certified health and wellness coach Darnah Mercieca, celebrates its three-year anniversary as a leader in breast implant removal support and education. Darnah’s own journey with breast implant illness (BII) and her subsequent healing after explant surgery, where she found relief from unexplained symptoms like chronic fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog, has inspired her work in building a dedicated platform providing essential resources, coaching, and community support for women navigating the complexities of breast implant removal and post-surgery recovery.

“My goal has always been to offer women a place where they feel validated and supported in exploring their health concerns related to breast implants. For those choosing explant surgery, Empowered Explant stands beside them, guiding each step of their journey,” said Darnah Mercieca, founder of Empowered Explant. “Having gone through this journey myself—and helping my mom reclaim her health through explanting—I’m dedicated to making sure no woman feels alone or overwhelmed in this process.”

The platform has since grown into a trusted wellness hub, integrating Darnah’s professional expertise in health coaching with her personal insights into the explant process, making it a unique, compassionate resource in the women’s health landscape.

Rising Awareness of Breast Implant Illness Brings Urgency to Empowered Explant’s Mission

In recent years, more women have opted for breast implant removal, a trend driven by growing awareness of potential health risks associated with implants. The FDA has issued warnings and implant recalls, while public figures like author Mel Robbins and influencer Jennifer Stano have openly shared experiences with BII, making the topic of breast implant illness more visible. Empowered Explant is committed to supporting this increasing movement of women seeking education and community as they make decisions about their health.

Through its comprehensive platform, Empowered Explant offers wellness coaching, educational resources, and a vibrant Facebook community. The Empowered Explant podcast includes over 60 episodes on topics such as BII symptoms, surgery prep and recovery, body image, hormone balance, diet, and mental health, delivering holistic information to help women make informed decisions.

Four Key Areas of Focus for Women Considering Explant Surgery

As more women choose explant surgery, Darnah offers four foundational tips to consider before, during, and after the process:

1. Be Informed – Educating oneself about BII and explant surgery is a must. Empowered Explant’s podcast provides a strong starting point, covering a wide range of topics to help women learn about symptoms, surgical procedures, and recovery.

2. Seek Skilled Consultation – Consulting with surgeons who specialize in explant surgery can make a crucial difference. Empowered Explant provides suggested questions for these consultations, helping women better understand their options and unique needs.

3. Join a Community – Emotional support is invaluable throughout the explant journey. Empowered Explant’s Facebook community provides a supportive space where women connect with others facing similar challenges, offering a sense of understanding and sisterhood.

4. Prioritize Wellness – Darnah emphasizes the importance of self-care practices, including an anti-inflammatory diet, targeted exercises, and stress-reduction techniques to create a healing-focused foundation for surgery and recovery.

Empowered Explant as a Holistic, Community-Driven Movement

Darnah’s approach combines personal experience with professional wellness coaching, which is foundational to Empowered Explant’s supportive platform. Her focus on both physical and emotional well-being distinguishes Empowered Explant as a place where women feel fully supported in their unique journeys. Through three years of dedicated service, Empowered Explant has empowered thousands of women to embrace their health choices with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind.
