Sharing snaps of herself smiling widely in a bra and a pair of jeans, she wrote: "I was pretty active on social media up until I finished out my chemo treatment - when I was greeted by a flood of surgery decisions. There was no clear path. I had an influx of conflicting opinions from different doctors leaving me feeling overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated.

"I got in touch with @drannepeled and my life got a lot easier. She’s on the cutting edge of reconstruction technology and as a breast cancer survivor herself, she approached my case with a sense of warmth and sincerity that was unmatched. Together, we discussed my reconstructive surgery and selected @sientrainc implants because of their unrivalled safety profile."

She went on to explain she had Sientra implants, explaining the pros of their safety record, adding: "Choosing an implant brand with a strong safety profile was extremely important to me - I’m young and I’ve got a long life to live! The less complications in the future, the better!"
Miranda was a "one in a million" case after being diagnosed with breast cancer as a teenager. Her treatment included eight rounds of chemotherapy, three surgeries and radiation sessions - as well as IVF treatment.

Speaking about her life since remission, she told People magazine: "Navigating survivorship has been more complicated than I anticipated in some ways — just being on different types of medications and also how to kind of integrate this experience into my life and work with it rather than working against it."
