  • I had my implants removed. My explant journey. Part 1 | In 2018 I had breast implant surgery/augmentation. I made that decision based on what the world told me about women and where our value comes from. I had such a painful recovery and experience with implants. At the beginning of April I finally had them removed. Do I look the same before having implants and now that they have been taken out? No. But I am happier than ever before, because I now know where my value actually comes from.

      @@paine5pretty sure their point is how she was THEN about all this stuff vs how she is NOW. I don’t think she’s above 30, but a drastic dif as she’s matured as it is for a whole lot of women who have had procedures done when they were younger- basically saying if nobody made decisions like this prior to 30, they very likely wouldn’t make them at all because of how much our perspective changes as we mature. Countless women who have explant surgeries done say they couldn’t be talked out of it when they first had it done, and now can’t believe they even felt that way. I don’t even understand how or why that was taken as “above 30 you need it.” Please 🙄

    Hi Alana, to be honest.. one of the reasons I started watching your videos is because I have a lot of insecurities and have considered plastic surgery but I’ve always been too afraid. I would watch some of your videos and think that maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if I also went through with it. But I never have. Watching this video was been very interesting. As a religious person myself, I think I have to try harder to come to love my body the way it is. Because you’re exactly right, our appearances don’t really matter as much as society makes us believe. Thank you for always being so transparent with us in every stage of your life ❤️

    My heart is breaking for you. Your body was beautiful then and it’s beautiful now, even with scars. Your scars are a literal embodiment of how much you’ve grown, and they are beautiful in their own right as well! As you say, the way you look was never important, and that extends to being “permanently disfigured” as you call it (words I disagree with because there’s still nothing wrong with your body!) Your growth as a person is incredible to watch, you should be so proud.

I personally identify as more spiritual than religious but watching how your relationship with God has transformed your life and your relationship with yourself is so inspiring. I have been feeling called to attend church to find community and your videos are encouraging me to do so even more. I am so sorry you were in pain for so long, but I am so glad for you that you are coming to a place in your life where you can see things with such clarity. I struggle with my relationship with my own breasts and body but you are reminding me that our bodies are only a vessel for our souls and what truly matters is the light within us.

I wish I had accepted my body as beautiful when I was younger. This is such an important message to be spreading to both young men and women. Please know that you are equally as beautiful now, just wiser... Life will teach you things in ways you don't understand at the moment, but will eventually one day.

      I feel the same as you girl. Im also in my 30’s and I wish I could have been kinder to myself and to my better and simply been able to realize how perfect it was. Instead, I lost wayyyy to much time, energy and money trying to turn it into smth it was not, and just picking myself apart. Now, my skin is not the same, my breasts are the same, my thighs... and still I feel more beautiful than ever, bc I simply started appreciating what I had, instead of wishing what I didnt have.
      And dont get me wrong, it took me a lot of time and eventually deleting social media from my life in order to get here. Deleting instagram which was the root cause of a lot of my self image issues was KEY. I would desperately want toget a nosejob, a bbl, lip fillers, etc after scrolling for a while. All these thoughts are gone now.

So when you got them put in I have to be honest- I asked myself if I should go do it as well. But somehow I knew it wasn't something permanent for you (it was more of a trend).

    Regarding the "letting someone cut your body up/ going to such extremes to look more beautiful/ losing your natural body" do you feel the same about your nose job? Because the rhinoplasty was done much more recently than the breast augmentation, but is still an operation only to improve your appearance and you seemed to be very happy about the surgery even at your update videos months after the surgery. Or do you regret only the breast augmentation because you had physical pain/ complications but feel ok about the rest of your cosmetic procedures as long as you liked the result and didn't have complications?
    Because complications can happen always at any surgery, the most important thing you can do is be well informed about the possible risks or complications and make a decision for yourself if those possible risks are worth the end result. It seems like you rushed the decision to get a breast augmentation (even though it is common knowledge the capsular fibrosis will inevitably happen in the next 5-10 years and can cause pain making it a necessity to change the implants many times in your life especially if you get the surgery when you are only 20), while you might have been better informed about other cosmetic surgeries you had, like the rhinoplasty, which you - at least so far - haven't expressed regret for...

I wish more people thought like you do now, which is understanding that our bodies don’t make us valuable or not valuable. And we don’t have to go to extremes and get surgery to change. And that’s a kind of controversial opinion and I do follow many people who have had work done so it’s like “whatever”, but there is still always a kind of sad feeling when someone announces they’re getting work done because it’s a bit sad to know someone is insecure about their appearance. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

    Hi guys 😊 I am sorry, I forgot to add the verses to the screen. I will leave them here for you:
    1 Peter 3:3-4
    "Do not let your adornment be MERELY outward--- arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel. Instead, make yourselves beautiful on the inside, in your hearts, with the enduring quality of a gentle, peaceful spirit. This type of beauty is very precious in God’s eyes."'
    Proverbs 31:16-17
    "She surveys a field and acquires it; from her own resources, she plants a vineyard. She works energetically; her arms are powerful."
    Proverbs 31:20
    "She reaches out to the needy; she stretches out her hands to the poor."
    Proverbs 31:25
    "Strength and honor are her clothing; she is confident about the future."
    Proverbs 3:15
    "Her value exceeds pearls; all you desire can’t compare with her."
    Deuteronomy 31:6
    “Be strong! Be fearless! Don’t be afraid and don’t be scared by your enemies, because the Lord your God is the one who marches with you. He won’t let you down, and he won’t abandon you.”
    Proverbs 31:24
    "She designs gowns and sells them, brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops."

    Thank you for bringing light to this. I think people should be able to do whatever with their bodies, but they should also be informed of all the consequences. Many people get plastic surgery without knowing all the potential risks.

    Don’t beat yourself up for decisions made as a child. We all look back on our past with some regrets. It’s part of growing up. I’m more bothered by surgeons trying to influence young people into life altering decisions to make a profit. I’m honored to witness your spiritual journey and I’m certain beautiful things are in your future. Bless you Dear Alana.

    Honestly, just give your body time to heal, it may not be perfect as it once was, but they need time to come back to their more natural state.
    Its kinda like being pregnant, your breasts enlarge, when you're caring, once you've weaned your baby, your breast will eventually return to as they once were to some extent.

    Alana I’ve watched you for years. I had implants at 18 and got them out after 3 years as well, they bottomed out and I had health complications. I was feeling bad about my decision and missing my old body and came across this. Thanks for reminding me why I got them out.

    I appreciate that you really understood the profound aspect of allowing a stranger to cut open your divine vessel. It’s so hard to be confident in self with the acceptance of how social media portrays how us women should look and what makes us desirable and the fact that men tend to flock to that, but then you wake up and realize wtf did I just do especially if these surgeries have after effects. I love that you and your partner prayed together and I love your honesty and vulnerability. Thank you for sharing and I hope your video speaks to the hearts of many.

    It is so obvious (I think to anyone who has watched your videos for a length of time) that you are radiate and glowing and it’s deeper than skin level. Hard to pin it down exactly but I am one of the people who doesn’t really have a relationship with god (likely because I grew up “religious”) and I am keeping an open mind. The way you process and explain things works well for me and I’m certainly curious. I’m rambling a bit now but I just wanted to say thank you for creating things that are true to you, it takes bravery to share so much with so many (especially when any sort of change is involved).

    I was crying when I started watching this video. I recently removed my implants after I got an infection. I just had them for a month. Needless to say worst month of my life. Looking back I have the exact same feelings as you. I was looking at previous pictures and thinking how I thought there was something wrong with my body and not liking myself thinking I would look better with implants and willing as you said to cut myself open to insert something in my body just to feel better about myself. The pain of looking at my breasts now and seeing what I did to myself is a lot to deal with emotionally.

    I’m an agnostic leaning more atheist, but I relate to your life values now more than ever before somehow. I’ve followed you for years and I’ve always liked you for being raw and honest about your perspectives. Even when you were in more shallow material phases of your life, you expressed what you were going through and always lent insight into your thought processes, and I could see and relate to your logic, especially because of the culture we were in during those times and the pressure social media places on young women to look and perform a certain way.
    I almost started getting plastic surgery like 5 years ago too. Had an appointment for lip filler and under eye injections, but ended up falling on my lower back and getting a bad muscle contusion the night before the appointment and couldn’t get out of bed for 5 days straight. Which somehow led me to never getting anything done, thankfully. I just never made another appointment.
    If there perhaps is a god, he stepped in and was like “No bitch, we ain’t doin’ this shit to or bodies” *Proceeds to WWE pile drive my lower back into the outer tub wall to stop me from making the huge mistake of putting filler in my face. Lol. It’s cool to see you come out on the other side though. Your boobie scars sound badass to me because of the ideology they represent. The evolution of you. If I was looking at your scars irl, I’d probably perceive them as a hot alternative girl body mod. They’d be a turn on because your flesh has depth and an empowering story to tell. That shit is sensual af. 😂❤
