How long does tattoo ink stay in a lymph node? 😱😱😱

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPW_KefkViz/?igsh=MTl2a3I2dnlrdWk4YQ==

Here we can see tattoo ink in a dissected lymph node. Lymph nodes live in fat and so we can see some fatty lobules still attached too. Our donor had a mostly blue tattoo and we can see the blue ink in this lymph node. Tattoo ink reaches lymph nodes when immune cells (macrophages) carry tiny pigment particles away from the skin via lymph vessels. The ink pigment particles are too big and can’t be broken down any further so they stay in the lymph nodes. Tattoo ink has been documented to remain in lymph nodes 30 years and likely lasts even longer. If you have tattoos you have ink in your lymph nodes too. While there has been some studies about associations between tattoos and lymphoma they have been correlative and not confirmed as causal. #experienceanatomy #anatomy #dissection #tattoo

Just as getting implants is a journey, explant surgery also comes with a long road of healing. The very most important thing about this article is doing what is best for each individual. With that said, if you or someone you know is going through explant recovery, I can help. Reducing pain and swelling, creating a positive relationship with your body and reducing recovery time is something I am passionate about in my lymphatics and surgery recovery practice and I am constantly learning new techniques and valuable information to help during recovery. I am honored to be a part of your story.

Today I’m releasing those false narratives, the parts of me that were never actually parts of me. I’m letting go of the body that was sexualized, that was abused, that I believed was necessary for me to be attractive; to be loved; to be successful; to be happy. And in doing so, I hope I am releasing my daughter Bella from ever feeling those same unhealthy demands.

Now, I want to be clear that many women will find freedom and beauty in choosing their implants. What is a false narrative for me may be the exact right thing for them, and I am so happy that we can all find our femininity and peace on our own terms. I’m also tremendously inspired by women like Michelle Visage who have been open and public about their relationships with their breast implants, making it easier for me and countless others to find our own way.

Today I am loved, I am feminine, I am attractive, and I am successful. None of that is because of my implants. I will still be all of those things when I wake up and they are gone. There is so much and joy in that knowledge and freedom in the letting go of what was never me in the first place.

Today, I’m my authentic self. Today, I’m free.

A therapist who is properly trained in compression therapy will know the difference between these types of foams; as well as where, when and how to use them. Using the wrong foam can be at best useless and at worst cause more problems than were there to begin with.
