"I am not an avatar that needs physical updates"... damn that's crazy. We got a whole metaverse and we still trying to alter our real selves. Save it for the Sims sis! You're right, never looked at a sunflower and thought "that one petal is bigger and needs altering." I see nature as beautiful in all it's nuances and WE ARE NATURE. ❤
I shed a few tears when you said there’s so much power in reclaiming the imperfect. I’ve had an autoimmune disease (psoriasis) since I was little and it’s been a daily struggle towards self acceptance and this resonated with me immensely
Medical Medium is nothing but a con artist, please don't listen to him. Also, yes, the way we eat plays a huge part, but unfortunately, even if we have the healthiest diet, health issues can still occur 😔
I recently was diagnosed with psoriasis and it was definitely extremely hard to accept at first. We are ALL beautiful humans and although this world is very different, nothing should matter but the beauty within. ❤
Hello, isn't psoriasis the skin condition you mean? I've also been diagnosed with it in December 2021, but mine is all located on my scalp, i used many medicines and it was so hard to go through, but i got to use hormonal cream, did you do so? Maybe if you do you may feel better eventually
Maybe you were meant to get them, only to take them out. To share this important message. I know you’ll inspire so many others to choose their body over the aesthetic. I hope you heal wonderfully 💕
What complete rubbish. She is really pretty but she mutilated her body with the tattoos and mutilated her body with the implants. She was not meant to get them, it was a stupid move. Hopefully she learned something from these faulty attempts to differentiate herself.
Honestly, wow. What a beautiful perspective and message to share with us. As a woman, thank you. This is so so so important. We are so magical and beautiful just as is. Your journey has been a pleasure to watch ❤️🙏🏼
I love this so much. As a woman with a very small chest, I'm often made to feel less womanly because of it, less beautiful, less sexy. I'm asked on a pretty regular basis if I am planning on having breast surgery. It's so refreshing to see a woman embrace her natural form. I have nothing against women who choose to change their bodies and love themselves for it, but I appreciate your message: that we should love our bodies, augmented or not.
There in no need to be worried about small breasts. You are as woman as other with big breast. There is no need to insecure. Don't feel demotivated. Love your body as it is
Sorry to hear that. My boobs are literally not even in a size A but I’ve never heard a mean comment about them. I actually like them cause they make me look skinny and fit.
As a woman who had large breasts at one point. I had a reduction and felt so much more free. Larger breasts did not make me feel more womanly. I felt heavy and didn't like when people noticed them. I think everyone has a different definition of what womanly or sexy is.
To be honest: when I first read the title I wasn‘t expecting something so touching and so deep. THANK YOU SO MUCH. For years I was struggeling with self harm and a huge part of healing was realising that the human body is a breathing miracle. Lots of love from Germany
What you are doing will hopefully reach the ears, hearts and minds of a generation (both male & female) who are not as self-aware. Your experiences are building blocks. Normalizing these conversations, is well overdue. Thank you for sharing your journey
Wow! Your story is just so powerful, I’m 26 soon 27 and my “small” chest has always been an insecurity of mine. I would say things like “I wish it was just a little bigger than it’s”. However, I’m not big on operation and I also know that God makes no mistakes but it was still a struggle. Listening to you is just a step towards accepting my chest for what they’re and embrace it. I’m not saying it will happen overnight but this has been what I needed to hear. So thank you for reminding us to embrace our bodies/chest. You’re inspirational. With so much love and respect all the way from Sweden ❤️❤️🥰
Yes! Small boobs here too and after 2 kids, yikes! But God made us perfect and who are we to alter our bodies and disapprove of His work. I have to remind myself this constantly. Kill the flesh 💚everyday
@@EnochnKale @Ruth T God makes no mistakes? Tell that to the millions of people born with crippling birth defects and devastating childhood illnesses. There was a news story in Britain a few years back where a team of surgeons had to work around the clock for days on a baby that was born with its organs OUTSIDE ITS BODY. Try again.
@@tonirodriquez706 make a priority to take them out, so many women have mental and physical complications that doctors ignore because it is all a business. I always say “small boobs big heart” 😁❤️
First of all, i am so grateful for your eloquence and soothing soul Sophia. I was just talking to my friend about this today. I’ve been debating getting a boob job since I was 16 years old. I’m now 28, and still debating. Maybe the reason I’ve never pulled the trigger is because deep down my soul knows, it wouldn’t be me. The reasons you mentioned: more male attention, more (perceived) confidence, and feeling more “feminine” are the only reasons I could think of for getting them. But I’ve also had the realization way too many times that 1. The right man won’t care how big my chest is. 2. Confidence is not external 3. Feeling more “feminine” is more than just looks. It’s my kindness, my compassion, and empathy for others. This was a sign for the universe that solidified what I’ve already known. I’m enough. Small chest and all ❤️
When I was 16 I had many surgery’s/ fillers and alterations I had planned on doing to myself So glad that by the time I turned 18 I had made the choice to not alter anything! This story is so beautiful and hope more younger people hear it before making their decision! Thank you for this 🧡
Omg same here lol. I remember I use to look in the mirror and cry .. only thing I got done were my boobs, thank god. I learned to love myself as I got older; confidence isn’t given to you!!! I worked hella hard for mine just to let it go.
I feel bad about getting veneers. I was 14 and not aware how my original teeth would get treated, I was horrified.😭 But thinking back, I was so fixated on my body's imperfections that I was pretty stubborn and wouldn't listen to reason. 😆😅
I hope anyone considering getting implants, watches your video. I think you're going to help so many people. You're a beautiful person inside and out 💖
So glad you made this video. I've had mine in for 25 years and can not wait to get mine out in August. Blessings for you and I'm so so happy for you doing this for yourself. I'm counting down my days
Can’t wait for your next video on body dismorphia Sophia! I think it’s so necessary to hear such messages in this day and age. I’ll be 27 soon and I’ve always wanted to heal that part of myself that lacks the self-love and confidence my inner beings knows I deserve. Much love to you and yours 🖤
Girl, you are the REALEST woman out here on youtube...id almost given up on finding real guidance until yoy today....everything in Gods timing. Hope u are happy healthy and healed!!!😊
I am 8mths post explant, I'll be 52yrs old next week. I had my implants for14yrs. I got them after breast feeding my son and going from an A cup to an AA cup after I stopped breastfeeding. They made me feel good about how I looked, I felt imperfect, but a few years ago I started to make life changes and see myself in a different light and realized I didn't need bigger breasts( I got C cups) to feel good about myself and feel perfect any longer so I started wishing I had them out. Last year the desire to have them taken out got so strong I finally found a doctor and scheduled an appointment to have them removed. On the outside they looked great , we could see no reason to remove them but there was something nagging me to remove them. I had a Great doctor and team. After surgery he came to visit in recovery and told me that the surgery went well but that the left implant had a rupture and was leaking silicone. Thank the most highs that I listened to my body when it said Remove these foreign objects from your body. I am back to an A cup and sooo very happy. I am wishing you all the best on your recovery journey and as you get reunited with your body. Peace and blessings.
I am so curious as so what the breast looks like after at this age. I’m also 52 and I am getting mine removed after 25 years. I was also an A cup prior and went to a C…did you have your skin lifted after removal? I’m curious what they will look like after.
@@zimmerz701 Hi there. I did not get a lift afterwards. I was prepared to live with the results what ever they looked like. They are definitely not as perky as they used to be🥴, and I also have scaring underneath and a little keloid from the incisions. My skin, Black, is prone to keloids. I'm back to an A Cup and feeling like my old self again with ageing of course. I hope that helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
@@zimmerz701 Same. Ive had mine for 34 years and found out one has ruptured recently so need them out but scared what 34 yrs of saggy skin will look like if i dont replace them
I'm really interested in that video about body dismorphia. Please do it! And thank you for sharing this story. In a world where we're constantly told what to change in ourselves , it's really inspiring to see someone in peace with who they were/are for real and refusing what's strange in their body. Thank you 💕
Wow, your words…absolutely beautiful. I’m a few hours post-op & this made me tear up in a good way. Exactly how I feel. Thank you for your help in this lifetime ❤️🦋
Thank you! I’ve been thinking of doing this for a few years now but had no one speaking of it. I have a reduction at 18 that went very wrong. The plastic surgeon said he’d pay for the fix after I was done having children. I wasn’t planning on doing anything but after my last child was born, my left breast caved in and I looked “deformed” in my eyes and became very self conscious. I didn’t go crazy and get a ridiculous augmentation, I went for what fit my body. 34B. Within 2 years, I was DX with Lupus. It had been ongoing all my life. I have noticed that it’s getting worse and I look ridiculous with these perky, bigger than 34B breasts as 55. No judgement on anyone else, it’s how I feel about ME. I want ME back. I’m calling my surgeon tomorrow and scheduling a consult. You’ve given me such inspiration and to just stumble upon your video is no coincidence. You are amazing and beautiful. Thank you again.
I love this message. No matter your size, you are beautiful. The human body is so beautiful and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Learning to accept yourself as you are is one of the most fulfilling things you can do🥰
You are so brave Sophia. I respect the courage it took to explant, and your willingness & vulnerability to share this experience with others. Really powerful✊🏽
Thank you for sharing your journey with us, brave soul. Your voice is needed and so appreciated (as well as more doctors like Dr.Chopra). When I was in my early 20s I almost got breast implants but when it came time to do it, I couldn't go through with it. But even then I didn't love my breasts. It took almost a decade after that for me to not hide behind padded bras. I remember the first day I went out in public braless how free I felt, and how little anyone else actually cared. Now I love watching them change during different phases and how they feel because they're mine. What a beautiful journey this life is. Happy healing xx
Thank you so much for such a beautiful video. I've had implants for 31 years (same ones). I've wanted to get them out for a very long time. They are a D cup (I had wanted C cups but the doc decided while I was under that D cup fit my frame better). I've lived with them, obviously, but have never felt they fit my body. Sadly, getting them out any time soon isn't an option due to financial constraints, but your experience gave me the clarity to try to make it happen at some point. I just discovered your reels on IG and they led me to watch this. You are an amazing human.
You are an amazing role model for women. This is an important conversation. I was blessed to grow up in a generation and place where plastic surgery is not common and through time I learned radical acceptance of my body. I wish that for everyone. I can't wait to hear more from you about this. I've always loved your vegan content and I'm excited for this.
Thank you so much for this transparency, as someone who’s insecurities are all what you speak on. This definitely changes my perspective and helps me see the bigger picture of things.
I am so grateful to hear your story. I have had mine for almost 14 years now and want to do the explant ASAP. I did breast feed 3 children with breast implants and luckily they were able to go about 11 months - 1.5 years each. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏽
I appreciate you sharing this important perspective so much! cosmetic surgery is at an all time high in popularity and rarely are the unintended emotional/physical consequences of it ever brought up. it seems like the only narratives surrounding cosmetic surgery online come in the form of either shaming women who get it or an insistence that it is always the right choice for whoever decides to have it. I disagree with both of these sentiments and think a nuanced conversation about the reasons people (women in particular) find themselves willing to endure the physical, emotional, and financial burden of surgery and recovery in order to (typically) fit more neatly into a beauty standard. the intense pressure to be beautiful has many of us making decisions that I don't think we ever would if were we free from it. however, this video, others like it, and anyone who is taking the time to have these kinds of conversations with the people in their life, are all very positive steps towards everyone critically assessing why they're considering cosmetic surgery in the first place and if it will be of real value to them. Wishing you well in your recovery :)
Dont underestimate your healing journey. Im almost 3 years post explant and i still have inflammation around my chest wall. Good thing youve taken the first step, wish you the best on your recovery xxx
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Your raw emotions, truthful storytelling is so refreshing and really needed on this platform (and in this world) ❤️🙏🌎🦋 You're stunningly beautiful, brave, strong, kind & inspiring Sophia!
The most important thing is having someone go through that experience and being able to share the realizations and important lessons to others, most especially to the young girls going through the same insecurities and emotions. It is being able to learn as part of the human experience. Thank you for your powerful story. ❤️
Very proud of you for being so honest and open about this time in your life. I always knew it wasn’t a healthy idea with all the issue I have already dealt with with my body. I wish I had known or felt that way about the IUD I had in my for years although they said it was non hormonal I now live with and am healing the side effects that have come with birth control most of my adolescence. I hope we can continue to spread to knowledge to the youth of today and beyond…
This is such a beautiful message! Thank you for this video. It really made me appreciate myself more for never feeling bad for my small chest. I always knew when people criticized my breasts for being too small that there is nothing wrong with me, but with them for sexualizing a couple of organs that are only meant for lactating a newborn. I thank god every day for never seeing anything wrong with the way I look, but it’s so sad for me to see that many people all they see in the mirror are flaws and by that, they impose limitations to their own selves. I hope everyone will get over their insecurities❤️
I've been following you since vine days. I never knew you had implants. But seeing your evolvement over the years is so inspiring. I'm glad that you are happy and free from your insecurities now. You're truly a beautiful person, Sophia.
I’m so thankful that you decided to share your story. Thank you for being so open. You are so beautiful inside and out. This is truly inspiring. I love this 💗
Your body is literally so magical & sacred. Appreciate it & treat it as such! Give your body the time, energy, healthy food, & movement, & it will reward you & show you gratitude in the way you look, feel, and radiate! This video was such a great reminder
I loved watching your video, which was really hand because i watched it while i was getting ready to go to tbe hospital to have mine removed. You really helped me feel at ease and your video was so authentic and genuine. Im now almost 24 hours after my surgery and it was the best decision i could have made. Thank you so much for sharing x
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve had my implants for 22 years. They’ve been leaking for 9 years. I have so many health issues. I have so much anxiety about getting them taken out. I’m older and it’s going to be hard on me. Also I’ll have to get a lift. I struggle with everything that’s involved with my situation. Getting the implants is the worst thing I’ve ever done to myself. I tell everyone DONT GET BREAST IMPLANTS. It’s NOT WORTH IT. I hope I will be able to have a Dr as good as the one you had. Thanks again for sharing!
Sophia, you are an actual being of light. Your energy is absolutely pure and beautiful. I’m so thankful that you shared your story and happy that you have discovered your true self. I send everyone who is reading this, so much love and light, miracles and blessings, and to live a life you are in love with! 🌸🌷✨
.....huge congrats to being you again...a few years ago I cut out all my color and curiously decided to see my virgin hair...turned out it was dark and dramatic and I loved it...afterwords I decided to "simplify" and sort the things I no longer needed...my mantra was: "what essentials would I need on a desert island to feel free/beautiful/nourished..." so started the process of healing my everyday habits and only keeping my bliss front and center-still chipping away at anything that doesn't bring me peace...tmi but this exact vid is why I love you--you shine and are so inspiring...so ty...
That was very moving, brought tears to my eyes. I'm really happy for you - that you've reclaimed yourself, your body, your true femininity. Thank you for sharing your story.
Love you woman! Thank you for sharing this. I’ve toyed with the idea of implants for most of my life. I am very small breasted but nursed my healthy son with the miracle of milk that is available to women no matter what size. You’ve helped me moved passed this idea always lurking in my psyche!!! Heal well my dear. Love and light 💕💕
I’m getting mine out in 2 months. I resonate with everything your saying. I’m super excited to be freeeee to sprint, roll down a hill like a sausage, hug people and feeeeeel tht hug. I told myself I don’t like hugging people I do it as an obligation but this isn’t true I’ve been making excuses because I know I’ve blocked my chest ❤
Happy for you and as someone who’s starting med school this year I’m rooting you on if I heard you correctly on wanting to become a doctor as well :) would love to hear more about that if you’re open to it
Congratulations for your selflove, and listening to your body... Our body is always communicating with us but most people don't listen, they are so obsessed with approval and validation that they disconnect with there soul. Beauty comes from your essence not your physical. 💜
Thank you for making this video sharing your story. I have had my implants for 32 years. I am going in for a consultation to have them removed next week. I put them in for vanity. I want them out to be normal again. Everything you said spoke to me on a deep level. I am getting excited to be just myself again. much love.. Paula
How did your explant go? Did you removed the capsule as well or just the implant? I got mine done on May 23rd, so I’m still healing. But once I got out of surgery I immediately realized what terrible mistake I had made. I’m full with so much regret. I hope I can take them out in like 1-3 years max.
@@jesss.5484 Hello Jess. Are you saying you had them put in on 5-23? My explant went good. I think he took out as much of the capsule as he could. He said if any was in a delicate spot he would have to leave it. I did not have many symptoms of BII until this year. I wish at 24 I would of just got a breast lift. I had many good years with my implants but am so happy they are out. It feels good to have my body back to normal. I hope you heal fast. Thanks for asking your question.
@@paulamajor1841 Yes, I got my BA on May 23, 2023. I regret it every single day. I’m already looking up doctors to have my explant as soon as possible. Hopefully in a year’s time. I don’t feel like myself. I cry everyday seeing myself in the mirror and realizing what terrible mistake I did. I miss my natural breasts. I’m happy to hear your explant was a success!!! How was your recovery like and has your BII symptoms started to get better? Much love - Jess
@@jesss.5484 I am sorry that you are going thru such a difficult time. I did not have any issues with mine until the last couple of years. I started getting heart palpitations, dizzy spells, chest pains, numbness in arm and a few more issues. I was unsure if it was my implants or menopause. So I decided after 32 years to just get them out. It has took 2 months of healing but I would say all my issues are almost gone. I really feel better. The actual surgery of the implant removal and I got a lift at the same time was not that bad at all. I did not find it that painful. The drain tubes was what bothered me the most. I was just so happy to have them out. I am enjoying my small breast so much. When I was young I thought they made me sexier. Now that I am older I understand any size of breast are sexy. I totally understand what your feeling. It will be ok. Just take care of yourself heal. Just know Doctors will be there whenever you are ready to take them out. I am kinda mad I kept mine in for 32 years! much love back at you. Paula
@@paulamajor1841 Thank you for the information and I’m happy you feel so much better now and are embracing your natural breasts. I really miss mine. They were beautiful even if small. I ruined my body putting these huge things inside. I will talk to my doctor on Monday to schedule a meeting and let him know my situation and see what we can do within 6 months to a year. One last question, did you have the capsule removed as well or just the implant?
I needed this girl talk. I’d love to see the body dysmorphia video. My whole life I’ve been very insecure about my large nose, thin lips, and a few birth defects that no one can even see. Just last week I was picking up some Tex-mex through the drive through and over heard a man neighing at me from behind the lady taking my cash for the order. It was really hurtful especially because my daughter was in the backseat. I didn’t respond to him or acknowledge him but I think about it everyday now looking in the mirror. If you have any advice on how to look past awful comments or how to respond to people who treat you less than because you don’t look like everyone else would be greatly appreciated.
A lot of men act like absolute scum with women they don't personally deem attractive. I have also been randomly insulted for my appearance by dudes who felt entitled to let me know what they thought about my looks. Ultimately, enforcing beauty standards around breast size, nose size, body hair and thinness or curviness have nothing to do with "beauty" and everything to do with control or making money (if you're a plastic surgeon or razor company, for example). You are not more or less attractive for the size of your nose. Men like the ones who randomly insult women for their noses do that to keep us in our place - obediantly fixated on 'correcting' ourselves so we don't step out of line. Tell your daughter that the beauty standards set for women are toxic. A culture fixated on female beauty is a culture fixated on female obediance. It's got nothing to do with attractiveness and everything to do with profitting off of insecurities that were instilled in us by men like the ones at the Tex-mex drive through. Some self-loathing women too.
Thank for being vulnerable and sharing your experience with the world. My augmentation didn’t make me any more happy and accepting of myself since I got them 10 years ago. Thank you for being the voice that 0:01 i needed to hear in order to become more unapologetically myself.
thank you so much for this video and sharing your thoughts. I cried because I thought about the things I dislike on my body and you opened up a new way of seing them for me 🍀
You're such an amazing and inspiring person. Thank you for sharing it with us. I had a breast implant surgery six years ago and about a year ago I discovered the truth about them. I hadn't been informed when I did this, of course I wasn't confident with myself and I had a lot of insecurities at the moment but if I had known this at that time I never would have done it. I'm hoping I can get the money to take them out, it's scary but I made the decision already. Our bodies are just our home and I don't want anything bad to happen to it. You're so brave, I hope someday I will have the chance to take them out too.
This was really nice, I think that sometimes the only way to know what you need/want is to just make a decision, and if you realize you made the wrong decision then you are just one step closer towards the right decision.. no regrets, only learning, the definition of growing.
The Universe is pure magic. It gave you what you wanted to make you realise what you truly needed, and on top of that, you healed your inner critic and now you are helping to heal others. And I haven't watched your content in a while, but yesterday your name (randomly, but probably not randomly - thank you, Universe!) popped up in my head, so I came to take a look at your channel again. You just sound and look so full of love and light, and I'm so happy for you! xx
You're spreading such a beautiful and powerful message, that so many of us need to hear and process. We do live in a toxic world, which profits over people's and especially women's insecurities. Beauty has such a dark side that people don't see and that draws women to eating disorders, depression, self harm and much more.
You are such a lovely person on the outside as well as the inside...💝I am 59 about to go through my fourth reconstruction after a double masectomy. I have MS and a seizure condition. You are so well spoken and comforting. I watched your video and cried. I wish you peace , Love, and The Best Of Health. Always. God Bless You.😘
Thanks for sharing this journey with us all! I had my textured implants removed after 20 years of being sick! I have taken my body back from being something meant for others. Is been 4 years since my EXPLANT and I’m a new woman! I’m happy you found this path too!
What a beautiful, soulful, helpful, deep video to share with the world. Hope you're inner and outer healing is still going well. Others will surely benefit from your insights.
Hello Sofia! Thank you very much for sharing your experience, because I have been facing an internal struggle for years between a Laura who feels insecure with her body and wants to modify it through surgery, and another Laura who is more spiritual and believes that this is not the way out of insecurity. . I think that all women have a special pressure, a constant look at our bodies, aesthetics and manners. It is really exhausting, but the way out is spirituality, contemplation of nature and personal cultivation.
Sophia you are such a gem, such a goddess, such a queen! I am happy for you. So happy you have yourself, your beautiful soul and also a wonderful partner to support you through this. No better time, divine timing is never wrong. Heres to healing
Im so happy you decided to take them out, I’m sure you feel relief! I had an accident and due to that I had a titanium plate and a screw put on my arm. Mentally that affected me a lot as well as physically. The thought that I had a foreign object in my body even thought I needed for medical reasons in that time, was not a happy time for me. Ones my bone healed which took a little over a year I was able to get them removed. My body and my mind were never happy with those foreign objects. I thank God the doctor was able to take it out, and I had no more pain from the screw poking on my tendon and the plate cooling during winter cold causing my bone to hurt. I’m super happy for you, I’m sure many of your health issues will improve.
I have been keeping up with you since Vine. I adore you and your positive influences to this crazy world. Honestly you’re my favorite influencer. I love the positive messages you put out. You’re a rare soul Sophia. Just truly authentic and genuine. ♥️♥️
To share stories like this is so important to help others not to take a bad decision based on insecurity and not on self respect. Also the way you tell it is wonderful 👍👍👍
You’re so brave for sharing-thank you💜 I suffer from body dysmorphia as well and have wanted to get my breast implants done for most of my late teens. This video helps to confirm that it would not be the best decision for my mind, body and soul. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You know what?, my implants weren’t for me either. I’m so grateful that I had them removed via Dr Chun. I’ve been healing ever since 2019. Beautiful video ✌🏼🌱
after 19 years with implants I am now learing about BII, although I am not having any symptoms of it I am now aware of it being a real issue and trying to decide on what to do. Thank you for your honesty on your journey and also not shaming people who still have them. Really enjoyed this video!!
I’ve came across so many videos of removing breast implants and was never interested to watch bc I don’t have any so it didn’t pertain to me personally but I clicked on your video for whatever reason and it was the most beautiful thing I have seen in a while. The beginning of the video spoke to my soul, I’ve never heard someone explain what I’ve always felt, so thank you for reminding me how beautiful life is 💚
I’m so glad I came across this. I want to get mine removed. I was 24 not even an A cup/no cup! Went to a C. Cup. Felt so beautiful. Balanced. Now 48. I’ve never had any problems, the surgeon was well renowned. The fatigue I had I thought I worked out to hard. Or needed to build endurance. Once having children at 35 & 37. I could not breast feed them. But I did this to myself. I knew the risks that they could cut the milk ducts. My insecurities with my body was stronger than my dreams of giving my child life outside of my body. I have no regrets! I just think they are sagging and getting old. At 48. I know who I am. And I don’t need a big chest. I want to be free just me! 😊thank you
thank you so much for your inspiring words and for taking us with you on your journey 🌞 it's because of you that I am rethinking my decision on getting implants and I thank you so much for that!
You bring embracing your imperfections to another level, you cerebrate it. I have a long way to go, but I can learn so much from you. Thank you so much for this great video Sending love from Gouda, The Netherlands
you are such an inspiration. this video made me realize a lot. thank you so much for sharing your story and a beautiful perspective on self love and acceptance.
This made me so much more emotional than I expected. Your story is inspiring and brings more body positivity than I’ve ever seen… feeling one with your body and listening to your body. Something I’m starting to learn. Thank you
This was the video I needed to see, I am so thankful I came across it. I am getting my explant surgery on Wednesday (03/22/23) and I CAN NOT WAIT! I can not wait to claim the life that I have deserved for so long. I can not wait to finally close this 14 year old chapter. Time for me to rewrite my life on fresh blank pages. Thank you for sharing your journey!
I love this ! Period. I may not be able to quit understand the full process of these things. But I do hope I can learn more through peoples experiences because they are so beautiful. This is life changing . Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I have my surgery in May, and like you, (although I’ve had mine for 32 years), grateful and excited to be me again.
This made me so emotional because it allowed me to look at my own relationship to my breasts as a person who has relatively large breasts naturally her whole life and the insecurities that came with that. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much, we need more of this in the world! I was thinking about a breast lift and then thought of the risks and the abuse of my perfectly functioning breasts, and after watching this I am even more sure. You help more than you will ever know by making this video. Much love to you ♥
"I am not an avatar that needs physical updates"... damn that's crazy. We got a whole metaverse and we still trying to alter our real selves. Save it for the Sims sis! You're right, never looked at a sunflower and thought "that one petal is bigger and needs altering." I see nature as beautiful in all it's nuances and WE ARE NATURE. ❤
I also agree, what a wonderful way to view it! We are nature-yess!! 💜
You know what's up ❤️
Say it louder! 👏🏻❤️
I shed a few tears when you said there’s so much power in reclaiming the imperfect. I’ve had an autoimmune disease (psoriasis) since I was little and it’s been a daily struggle towards self acceptance and this resonated with me immensely
Here with you Lahan ❤️ I have lymes , vitiligo and more. You’re not alone and I celebrate you!
Do you know Anthony William alias Medical Medium? He explains how food can heal your body…
Medical Medium is nothing but a con artist, please don't listen to him. Also, yes, the way we eat plays a huge part, but unfortunately, even if we have the healthiest diet, health issues can still occur 😔
I recently was diagnosed with psoriasis and it was definitely extremely hard to accept at first. We are ALL beautiful humans and although this world is very different, nothing should matter but the beauty within. ❤
Hello, isn't psoriasis the skin condition you mean? I've also been diagnosed with it in December 2021, but mine is all located on my scalp, i used many medicines and it was so hard to go through, but i got to use hormonal cream, did you do so? Maybe if you do you may feel better eventually
Maybe you were meant to get them, only to take them out. To share this important message. I know you’ll inspire so many others to choose their body over the aesthetic. I hope you heal wonderfully 💕
I believe this to be true thank you 💕
Like it's was part of the soul contract. This is how this message resonated in my soul.
What complete rubbish. She is really pretty but she mutilated her body with the tattoos and mutilated her body with the implants. She was not meant to get them, it was a stupid move. Hopefully she learned something from these faulty attempts to differentiate herself.
That's the most BS i ever herd
@@Menstral What is rubbish?? Do you have a purpose here on earth are you connected to the creator or is life all rubbish to you???
Honestly, wow. What a beautiful perspective and message to share with us. As a woman, thank you. This is so so so important. We are so magical and beautiful just as is. Your journey has been a pleasure to watch ❤️🙏🏼
I love this so much. As a woman with a very small chest, I'm often made to feel less womanly because of it, less beautiful, less sexy. I'm asked on a pretty regular basis if I am planning on having breast surgery. It's so refreshing to see a woman embrace her natural form. I have nothing against women who choose to change their bodies and love themselves for it, but I appreciate your message: that we should love our bodies, augmented or not.
If you're interested there is a TH-camr whose channel seems to be all about self-acceptance. Her name is Clara Dao.
There in no need to be worried about small breasts. You are as woman as other with big breast. There is no need to insecure. Don't feel demotivated. Love your body as it is
Sorry to hear that. My boobs are literally not even in a size A but I’ve never heard a mean comment about them. I actually like them cause they make me look skinny and fit.
I'm trans and I agree we don't feel like women unless we get giant implants
As a woman who had large breasts at one point. I had a reduction and felt so much more free. Larger breasts did not make me feel more womanly. I felt heavy and didn't like when people noticed them. I think everyone has a different definition of what womanly or sexy is.
To be honest: when I first read the title I wasn‘t expecting something so touching and so deep. THANK YOU SO MUCH. For years I was struggeling with self harm and a huge part of healing was realising that the human body is a breathing miracle. Lots of love from Germany
What you are doing will hopefully reach the ears, hearts and minds of a generation (both male & female) who are not as self-aware. Your experiences are building blocks. Normalizing these conversations, is well overdue. Thank you for sharing your journey
Wow! Your story is just so powerful, I’m 26 soon 27 and my “small” chest has always been an insecurity of mine. I would say things like “I wish it was just a little bigger than it’s”. However, I’m not big on operation and I also know that God makes no mistakes but it was still a struggle. Listening to you is just a step towards accepting my chest for what they’re and embrace it. I’m not saying it will happen overnight but this has been what I needed to hear. So thank you for reminding us to embrace our bodies/chest. You’re inspirational. With so much love and respect all the way from Sweden ❤️❤️🥰
Yes! Small boobs here too and after 2 kids, yikes! But God made us perfect and who are we to alter our bodies and disapprove of His work. I have to remind myself this constantly. Kill the flesh 💚everyday
@@EnochnKale @Ruth T God makes no mistakes? Tell that to the millions of people born with crippling birth defects and devastating childhood illnesses. There was a news story in Britain a few years back where a team of surgeons had to work around the clock for days on a baby that was born with its organs OUTSIDE ITS BODY. Try again.
I felt the same way you do now. I really wish I didn't get these implants.
I just had a breast reduction be glad of your small chest! Big breast are not fun
@@tonirodriquez706 make a priority to take them out, so many women have mental and physical complications that doctors ignore because it is all a business. I always say “small boobs big heart” 😁❤️
First of all, i am so grateful for your eloquence and soothing soul Sophia. I was just talking to my friend about this today. I’ve been debating getting a boob job since I was 16 years old. I’m now 28, and still debating. Maybe the reason I’ve never pulled the trigger is because deep down my soul knows, it wouldn’t be me. The reasons you mentioned: more male attention, more (perceived) confidence, and feeling more “feminine” are the only reasons I could think of for getting them. But I’ve also had the realization way too many times that
1. The right man won’t care how big my chest is.
2. Confidence is not external
3. Feeling more “feminine” is more than just looks. It’s my kindness, my compassion, and empathy for others.
This was a sign for the universe that solidified what I’ve already known. I’m enough. Small chest and all ❤️
Word! You are enough!
I hope you don't I've had implants since 18 now 54 super sick
My right man thinks I'm very sex with my small chest
I'm really lucky
When I was 16 I had many surgery’s/ fillers and alterations I had planned on doing to myself
So glad that by the time I turned 18 I had made the choice to not alter anything!
This story is so beautiful and hope more younger people hear it before making their decision!
Thank you for this 🧡
Omg same here lol. I remember I use to look in the mirror and cry .. only thing I got done were my boobs, thank god. I learned to love myself as I got older; confidence isn’t given to you!!! I worked hella hard for mine just to let it go.
I feel bad about getting veneers. I was 14 and not aware how my original teeth would get treated, I was horrified.😭
But thinking back, I was so fixated on my body's imperfections that I was pretty stubborn and wouldn't listen to reason. 😆😅
I hope anyone considering getting implants, watches your video. I think you're going to help so many people. You're a beautiful person inside and out 💖
So glad you made this video. I've had mine in for 25 years and can not wait to get mine out in August. Blessings for you and I'm so so happy for you doing this for yourself. I'm counting down my days
I have been so so insecure about my tiny boobs for YEARS. Really needed to see this ❤
You are perfect...💚
Always Remember this from your Indian friend!!🌍
Can’t wait for your next video on body dismorphia Sophia! I think it’s so necessary to hear such messages in this day and age. I’ll be 27 soon and I’ve always wanted to heal that part of myself that lacks the self-love and confidence my inner beings knows I deserve. Much love to you and yours 🖤
Girl, you are the REALEST woman out here on youtube...id almost given up on finding real guidance until yoy today....everything in Gods timing. Hope u are happy healthy and healed!!!😊
I am 8mths post explant, I'll be 52yrs old next week. I had my implants for14yrs. I got them after breast feeding my son and going from an A cup to an AA cup after I stopped breastfeeding. They made me feel good about how I looked, I felt imperfect, but a few years ago I started to make life changes and see myself in a different light and realized I didn't need bigger breasts( I got C cups) to feel good about myself and feel perfect any longer so I started wishing I had them out. Last year the desire to have them taken out got so strong I finally found a doctor and scheduled an appointment to have them removed. On the outside they looked great , we could see no reason to remove them but there was something nagging me to remove them. I had a Great doctor and team. After surgery he came to visit in recovery and told me that the surgery went well but that the left implant had a rupture and was leaking silicone. Thank the most highs that I listened to my body when it said Remove these foreign objects from your body. I am back to an A cup and sooo very happy. I am wishing you all the best on your recovery journey and as you get reunited with your body. Peace and blessings.
I am so curious as so what the breast looks like after at this age. I’m also 52 and I am getting mine removed after 25 years. I was also an A cup prior and went to a C…did you have your skin lifted after removal? I’m curious what they will look like after.
@@zimmerz701 Hi there. I did not get a lift afterwards. I was prepared to live with the results what ever they looked like. They are definitely not as perky as they used to be🥴, and I also have scaring underneath and a little keloid from the incisions. My skin, Black, is prone to keloids. I'm back to an A Cup and feeling like my old self again with ageing of course. I hope that helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
@@zimmerz701 Same. Ive had mine for 34 years and found out one has ruptured recently so need them out but scared what 34 yrs of saggy skin will look like if i dont replace them
I'm really interested in that video about body dismorphia. Please do it! And thank you for sharing this story. In a world where we're constantly told what to change in ourselves , it's really inspiring to see someone in peace with who they were/are for real and refusing what's strange in their body. Thank you 💕
Thank you. I think you've touched every woman who's thought about ever wanting to change themselves. You are the real blessing.
So happy for you! I remember getting mine out four years ago, best decision of my life.
Wow, your words…absolutely beautiful. I’m a few hours post-op & this made me tear up in a good way. Exactly how I feel. Thank you for your help in this lifetime ❤️🦋
I cried my eyes out while watching the video 😭 so proud of you and hope you will get better very soon 💛
Thank you! I’ve been thinking of doing this for a few years now but had no one speaking of it. I have a reduction at 18 that went very wrong. The plastic surgeon said he’d pay for the fix after I was done having children. I wasn’t planning on doing anything but after my last child was born, my left breast caved in and I looked “deformed” in my eyes and became very self conscious. I didn’t go crazy and get a ridiculous augmentation, I went for what fit my body. 34B. Within 2 years, I was DX with Lupus. It had been ongoing all my life. I have noticed that it’s getting worse and I look ridiculous with these perky, bigger than 34B breasts as 55. No judgement on anyone else, it’s how I feel about ME. I want ME back. I’m calling my surgeon tomorrow and scheduling a consult. You’ve given me such inspiration and to just stumble upon your video is no coincidence. You are amazing and beautiful. Thank you again.
Happy for you! I had my explant 9 months ago, I feel amazing!
I love this message. No matter your size, you are beautiful. The human body is so beautiful and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Learning to accept yourself as you are is one of the most fulfilling things you can do🥰
You are so brave Sophia. I respect the courage it took to explant, and your willingness & vulnerability to share this experience with others. Really powerful✊🏽
Literally obsessed with you especially for putting in footage of the surgery itself. BADASS!!
Ur a role model for a lot of women out there.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us, brave soul. Your voice is needed and so appreciated (as well as more doctors like Dr.Chopra). When I was in my early 20s I almost got breast implants but when it came time to do it, I couldn't go through with it. But even then I didn't love my breasts. It took almost a decade after that for me to not hide behind padded bras. I remember the first day I went out in public braless how free I felt, and how little anyone else actually cared. Now I love watching them change during different phases and how they feel because they're mine. What a beautiful journey this life is. Happy healing xx
Thank you so much for such a beautiful video. I've had implants for 31 years (same ones). I've wanted to get them out for a very long time. They are a D cup (I had wanted C cups but the doc decided while I was under that D cup fit my frame better). I've lived with them, obviously, but have never felt they fit my body. Sadly, getting them out any time soon isn't an option due to financial constraints, but your experience gave me the clarity to try to make it happen at some point. I just discovered your reels on IG and they led me to watch this. You are an amazing human.
Me too, have mine for 30 years now. Can't take them out due to financial constraints
That can't be safe, can it
My Dr did the same thing… giving me D’s when I asked for C’s.
You are an amazing role model for women. This is an important conversation. I was blessed to grow up in a generation and place where plastic surgery is not common and through time I learned radical acceptance of my body. I wish that for everyone. I can't wait to hear more from you about this. I've always loved your vegan content and I'm excited for this.
Thank you so much for this transparency, as someone who’s insecurities are all what you speak on. This definitely changes my perspective and helps me see the bigger picture of things.
I am so grateful to hear your story. I have had mine for almost 14 years now and want to do the explant ASAP. I did breast feed 3 children with breast implants and luckily they were able to go about 11 months - 1.5 years each. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏽
I appreciate you sharing this important perspective so much! cosmetic surgery is at an all time high in popularity and rarely are the unintended emotional/physical consequences of it ever brought up. it seems like the only narratives surrounding cosmetic surgery online come in the form of either shaming women who get it or an insistence that it is always the right choice for whoever decides to have it. I disagree with both of these sentiments and think a nuanced conversation about the reasons people (women in particular) find themselves willing to endure the physical, emotional, and financial burden of surgery and recovery in order to (typically) fit more neatly into a beauty standard. the intense pressure to be beautiful has many of us making decisions that I don't think we ever would if were we free from it. however, this video, others like it, and anyone who is taking the time to have these kinds of conversations with the people in their life, are all very positive steps towards everyone critically assessing why they're considering cosmetic surgery in the first place and if it will be of real value to them. Wishing you well in your recovery :)
Dont underestimate your healing journey. Im almost 3 years post explant and i still have inflammation around my chest wall. Good thing youve taken the first step, wish you the best on your recovery xxx
Be aware of not having liquid there. Sometimes, that cavity fromt the implants tends do …
@@ellypretty this makes sense. I have big cavities too from where my implants were fused to my ribs.
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Your raw emotions, truthful storytelling is so refreshing and really needed on this platform (and in this world) ❤️🙏🌎🦋 You're stunningly beautiful, brave, strong, kind & inspiring Sophia!
The most important thing is having someone go through that experience and being able to share the realizations and important lessons to others, most especially to the young girls going through the same insecurities and emotions. It is being able to learn as part of the human experience. Thank you for your powerful story. ❤️
Very proud of you for being so honest and open about this time in your life. I always knew it wasn’t a healthy idea with all the issue I have already dealt with with my body. I wish I had known or felt that way about the IUD I had in my for years although they said it was non hormonal I now live with and am healing the side effects that have come with birth control most of my adolescence. I hope we can continue to spread to knowledge to the youth of today and beyond…
This is such a beautiful message! Thank you for this video. It really made me appreciate myself more for never feeling bad for my small chest. I always knew when people criticized my breasts for being too small that there is nothing wrong with me, but with them for sexualizing a couple of organs that are only meant for lactating a newborn. I thank god every day for never seeing anything wrong with the way I look, but it’s so sad for me to see that many people all they see in the mirror are flaws and by that, they impose limitations to their own selves. I hope everyone will get over their insecurities❤️
I've been following you since vine days. I never knew you had implants. But seeing your evolvement over the years is so inspiring. I'm glad that you are happy and free from your insecurities now. You're truly a beautiful person, Sophia.
I’m so thankful that you decided to share your story. Thank you for being so open. You are so beautiful inside and out. This is truly inspiring. I love this 💗
Your body is literally so magical & sacred. Appreciate it & treat it as such! Give your body the time, energy, healthy food, & movement, & it will reward you & show you gratitude in the way you look, feel, and radiate! This video was such a great reminder
I loved watching your video, which was really hand because i watched it while i was getting ready to go to tbe hospital to have mine removed. You really helped me feel at ease and your video was so authentic and genuine. Im now almost 24 hours after my surgery and it was the best decision i could have made. Thank you so much for sharing x
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve had my implants for 22 years. They’ve been leaking for 9 years. I have so many health issues. I have so much anxiety about getting them taken out. I’m older and it’s going to be hard on me. Also I’ll have to get a lift. I struggle with everything that’s involved with my situation. Getting the implants is the worst thing I’ve ever done to myself. I tell everyone DONT GET BREAST IMPLANTS. It’s NOT WORTH IT. I hope I will be able to have a Dr as good as the one you had. Thanks again for sharing!
I have my implants for 30 years, regretted getting them at all. I want to remove them though I have had no trouble at all, all through these years.
Sophia, you are an actual being of light. Your energy is absolutely pure and beautiful. I’m so thankful that you shared your story and happy that you have discovered your true self. I send everyone who is reading this, so much love and light, miracles and blessings, and to live a life you are in love with! 🌸🌷✨
.....huge congrats to being you again...a few years ago I cut out all my color and curiously decided to see my virgin hair...turned out it was dark and dramatic and I loved it...afterwords I decided to "simplify" and sort the things I no longer needed...my mantra was: "what essentials would I need on a desert island to feel free/beautiful/nourished..." so started the process of healing my everyday habits and only keeping my bliss front and center-still chipping away at anything that doesn't bring me peace...tmi but this exact vid is why I love you--you shine and are so inspiring...so ty...
That was very moving, brought tears to my eyes. I'm really happy for you - that you've reclaimed yourself, your body, your true femininity. Thank you for sharing your story.
Love you woman! Thank you for sharing this. I’ve toyed with the idea of implants for most of my life. I am very small breasted but nursed my healthy son with the miracle of milk that is available to women no matter what size. You’ve helped me moved passed this idea always lurking in my psyche!!! Heal well my dear. Love and light 💕💕
I’m getting mine out in 2 months. I resonate with everything your saying. I’m super excited to be freeeee to sprint, roll down a hill like a sausage, hug people and feeeeeel tht hug. I told myself I don’t like hugging people I do it as an obligation but this isn’t true I’ve been making excuses because I know I’ve blocked my chest ❤
Happy for you and as someone who’s starting med school this year I’m rooting you on if I heard you correctly on wanting to become a doctor as well :) would love to hear more about that if you’re open to it
Congratulations for your selflove, and listening to your body... Our body is always communicating with us but most people don't listen, they are so obsessed with approval and validation that they disconnect with there soul. Beauty comes from your essence not your physical. 💜
What is our essence?
For me it's the energy that comes from someone's soul. What they give off.
The footage of you crying post op, so so so moving. So vulnerable and beautiful. Congratulations and welcome back to your natural self ❤️
Thank you for making this video sharing your story. I have had my implants for 32 years. I am going in for a consultation to have them removed next week. I put them in for vanity. I want them out to be normal again. Everything you said spoke to me on a deep level. I am getting excited to be just myself again. much love.. Paula
How did your explant go? Did you removed the capsule as well or just the implant?
I got mine done on May 23rd, so I’m still healing. But once I got out of surgery I immediately realized what terrible mistake I had made. I’m full with so much regret. I hope I can take them out in like 1-3 years max.
@@jesss.5484 Hello Jess. Are you saying you had them put in on 5-23? My explant went good. I think he took out as much of the capsule as he could. He said if any was in a delicate spot he would have to leave it. I did not have many symptoms of BII until this year. I wish at 24 I would of just got a breast lift. I had many good years with my implants but am so happy they are out. It feels good to have my body back to normal. I hope you heal fast. Thanks for asking your question.
@@paulamajor1841 Yes, I got my BA on May 23, 2023. I regret it every single day. I’m already looking up doctors to have my explant as soon as possible. Hopefully in a year’s time. I don’t feel like myself. I cry everyday seeing myself in the mirror and realizing what terrible mistake I did. I miss my natural breasts.
I’m happy to hear your explant was a success!!! How was your recovery like and has your BII symptoms started to get better? Much love - Jess
@@jesss.5484 I am sorry that you are going thru such a difficult time. I did not have any issues with mine until the last couple of years. I started getting heart palpitations, dizzy spells, chest pains, numbness in arm and a few more issues. I was unsure if it was my implants or menopause. So I decided after 32 years to just get them out. It has took 2 months of healing but I would say all my issues are almost gone. I really feel better. The actual surgery of the implant removal and I got a lift at the same time was not that bad at all. I did not find it that painful. The drain tubes was what bothered me the most. I was just so happy to have them out. I am enjoying my small breast so much. When I was young I thought they made me sexier. Now that I am older I understand any size of breast are sexy.
I totally understand what your feeling. It will be ok. Just take care of yourself heal. Just know Doctors will be there whenever you are ready to take them out. I am kinda mad I kept mine in for 32 years! much love back at you. Paula
@@paulamajor1841 Thank you for the information and I’m happy you feel so much better now and are embracing your natural breasts. I really miss mine. They were beautiful even if small. I ruined my body putting these huge things inside. I will talk to my doctor on Monday to schedule a meeting and let him know my situation and see what we can do within 6 months to a year. One last question, did you have the capsule removed as well or just the implant?
I needed this girl talk. I’d love to see the body dysmorphia video. My whole life I’ve been very insecure about my large nose, thin lips, and a few birth defects that no one can even see. Just last week I was picking up some Tex-mex through the drive through and over heard a man neighing at me from behind the lady taking my cash for the order. It was really hurtful especially because my daughter was in the backseat. I didn’t respond to him or acknowledge him but I think about it everyday now looking in the mirror. If you have any advice on how to look past awful comments or how to respond to people who treat you less than because you don’t look like everyone else would be greatly appreciated.
A lot of men act like absolute scum with women they don't personally deem attractive. I have also been randomly insulted for my appearance by dudes who felt entitled to let me know what they thought about my looks. Ultimately, enforcing beauty standards around breast size, nose size, body hair and thinness or curviness have nothing to do with "beauty" and everything to do with control or making money (if you're a plastic surgeon or razor company, for example). You are not more or less attractive for the size of your nose. Men like the ones who randomly insult women for their noses do that to keep us in our place - obediantly fixated on 'correcting' ourselves so we don't step out of line. Tell your daughter that the beauty standards set for women are toxic. A culture fixated on female beauty is a culture fixated on female obediance. It's got nothing to do with attractiveness and everything to do with profitting off of insecurities that were instilled in us by men like the ones at the Tex-mex drive through. Some self-loathing women too.
People who make fun of other people are insecure with themselves.
Not me tearing up rn🥺 Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for sharing this ☀️ keep shining your light
Thank for being vulnerable and sharing your experience with the world. My augmentation didn’t make me any more happy and accepting of myself since I got them 10 years ago. Thank you for being the voice that 0:01 i needed to hear in order to become more unapologetically myself.
thank you so much for this video and sharing your thoughts. I cried because I thought about the things I dislike on my body and you opened up a new way of seing them for me 🍀
You're such an amazing and inspiring person. Thank you for sharing it with us. I had a breast implant surgery six years ago and about a year ago I discovered the truth about them. I hadn't been informed when I did this, of course I wasn't confident with myself and I had a lot of insecurities at the moment but if I had known this at that time I never would have done it. I'm hoping I can get the money to take them out, it's scary but I made the decision already. Our bodies are just our home and I don't want anything bad to happen to it. You're so brave, I hope someday I will have the chance to take them out too.
This was really nice, I think that sometimes the only way to know what you need/want is to just make a decision, and if you realize you made the wrong decision then you are just one step closer towards the right decision.. no regrets, only learning, the definition of growing.
The Universe is pure magic. It gave you what you wanted to make you realise what you truly needed, and on top of that, you healed your inner critic and now you are helping to heal others.
And I haven't watched your content in a while, but yesterday your name (randomly, but probably not randomly - thank you, Universe!) popped up in my head, so I came to take a look at your channel again. You just sound and look so full of love and light, and I'm so happy for you! xx
You're spreading such a beautiful and powerful message, that so many of us need to hear and process.
We do live in a toxic world, which profits over people's and especially women's insecurities.
Beauty has such a dark side that people don't see and that draws women to eating disorders, depression, self harm and much more.
You are very strong Sophia. Not many people are this brave to be this vulnerable. You are a special soul. Thank you for sharing ❤️
You are such a lovely person on the outside as well as the inside...💝I am 59 about to go through my fourth reconstruction after a double masectomy. I have MS and a seizure condition. You are so well spoken and comforting. I watched your video and cried. I wish you peace , Love, and The Best Of Health. Always. God Bless You.😘
Thanks for sharing this journey with us all! I had my textured implants removed after 20 years of being sick! I have taken my body back from being something meant for others. Is been 4 years since my EXPLANT and I’m a new woman! I’m happy you found this path too!
What a beautiful, soulful, helpful, deep video to share with the world. Hope you're inner and outer healing is still going well. Others will surely benefit from your insights.
Hello Sofia! Thank you very much for sharing your experience, because I have been facing an internal struggle for years between a Laura who feels insecure with her body and wants to modify it through surgery, and another Laura who is more spiritual and believes that this is not the way out of insecurity. . I think that all women have a special pressure, a constant look at our bodies, aesthetics and manners. It is really exhausting, but the way out is spirituality, contemplation of nature and personal cultivation.
SO EXCITED FOR YOU. You are truly an inspiration. I loveeee your outlook on life and your compassion for the world.
Sophia you are such a gem, such a goddess, such a queen! I am happy for you. So happy you have yourself, your beautiful soul and also a wonderful partner to support you through this. No better time, divine timing is never wrong. Heres to healing
Im so happy you decided to take them out, I’m sure you feel relief! I had an accident and due to that I had a titanium plate and a screw put on my arm. Mentally that affected me a lot as well as physically. The thought that I had a foreign object in my body even thought I needed for medical reasons in that time, was not a happy time for me. Ones my bone healed which took a little over a year I was able to get them removed. My body and my mind were never happy with those foreign objects. I thank God the doctor was able to take it out, and I had no more pain from the screw poking on my tendon and the plate cooling during winter cold causing my bone to hurt. I’m super happy for you, I’m sure many of your health issues will improve.
I have been keeping up with you since Vine. I adore you and your positive influences to this crazy world. Honestly you’re my favorite influencer. I love the positive messages you put out. You’re a rare soul Sophia. Just truly authentic and genuine. ♥️♥️
You are an absolute story teller, it was great to hear, and by the way you look stunning, even way better without implants
To share stories like this is so important to help others not to take a bad decision based on insecurity and not on self respect. Also the way you tell it is wonderful 👍👍👍
the short song you sung in the beginning has been on repeat in my brain for 3 days now
You are a beam of light. I resonated with this on a spiritual level. Thank you for being the beautiful human that you are, inside and out. 🤍
You’re so brave for sharing-thank you💜 I suffer from body dysmorphia as well and have wanted to get my breast implants done for most of my late teens. This video helps to confirm that it would not be the best decision for my mind, body and soul. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You know what?, my implants weren’t for me either. I’m so grateful that I had them removed via Dr Chun. I’ve been healing ever since 2019. Beautiful video ✌🏼🌱
Girl your soul is so pure it’s crazy. Watching this is like therapy for me fr.💓
Wow. Such a beautiful story you told. Self love and acceptance is what we all need. Thankyou for walking us through this very personal journey.
after 19 years with implants I am now learing about BII, although I am not having any symptoms of it I am now aware of it being a real issue and trying to decide on what to do. Thank you for your honesty on your journey and also not shaming people who still have them. Really enjoyed this video!!
Been watching you for a while now Sophia and I've seen the transition, BIG respect. Keep it up! Keep shining.
Thank you for being open, raw and real.
Respect.
So happy for you love! You give off the most peaceful, calming energy! You’re awesome! 💙
I’ve came across so many videos of removing breast implants and was never interested to watch bc I don’t have any so it didn’t pertain to me personally but I clicked on your video for whatever reason and it was the most beautiful thing I have seen in a while. The beginning of the video spoke to my soul, I’ve never heard someone explain what I’ve always felt, so thank you for reminding me how beautiful life is 💚
I’m so glad I came across this. I want to get mine removed. I was 24 not even an A cup/no cup! Went to a C. Cup. Felt so beautiful. Balanced.
Now 48. I’ve never had any problems, the surgeon was well renowned.
The fatigue I had I thought I worked out to hard. Or needed to build endurance. Once having children at 35 & 37.
I could not breast feed them. But I did this to myself. I knew the risks that they could cut the milk ducts. My insecurities with my body was stronger than my dreams of giving my child life outside of my body. I have no regrets! I just think they are sagging and getting old. At 48. I know who I am. And I don’t need a big chest. I want to be free just me! 😊thank you
thank you so much for your inspiring words and for taking us with you on your journey 🌞 it's because of you that I am rethinking my decision on getting implants and I thank you so much for that!
💜💜 thank you for being so transparent, vulnerable, and yourself!
You have a beautiful heart Sophia, thanks for sharing your story! It’s a testament that beauty comes from within! ❤️
Omg I can’t imagine what was for you to look at this video. These implants are so invasive for the body, I hope your healing okay 💕
You bring embracing your imperfections to another level, you cerebrate it.
I have a long way to go, but I can learn so much from you.
Thank you so much for this great video
Sending love from Gouda, The Netherlands
Thank you for sharing this. I’m also 11 days post op and feel brand new ❤️
you are such an inspiration. this video made me realize a lot. thank you so much for sharing your story and a beautiful perspective on self love and acceptance.
This made me so much more emotional than I expected. Your story is inspiring and brings more body positivity than I’ve ever seen… feeling one with your body and listening to your body. Something I’m starting to learn. Thank you
This was beautiful to watch! Happy for you,you've grown so much!!
The intro is just so beautiful. I got teary eyed
This was the video I needed to see, I am so thankful I came across it.
I am getting my explant surgery on Wednesday (03/22/23) and I CAN NOT WAIT! I can not wait to claim the life that I have deserved for so long. I can not wait to finally close this 14 year old chapter. Time for me to rewrite my life on fresh blank pages.
Thank you for sharing your journey!
what were your symptoms?
Did you do a fat transfer after?
I love this ! Period. I may not be able to quit understand the full process of these things. But I do hope I can learn more through peoples experiences because they are so beautiful. This is life changing . Thank you for sharing
what a beautiful lady you are. May God bless you and you are changing lives with this story. 💜
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I have my surgery in May, and like you, (although I’ve had mine for 32 years), grateful and excited to be me again.
This is such a profound conversation to have. So important.
This made me so emotional because it allowed me to look at my own relationship to my breasts as a person who has relatively large breasts naturally her whole life and the insecurities that came with that. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much, we need more of this in the world! I was thinking about a breast lift and then thought of the risks and the abuse of my perfectly functioning breasts, and after watching this I am even more sure. You help more than you will ever know by making this video. Much love to you ♥
