I totally lost my boobs 22 years ago when I started working out…they made reappearances during all three pregnancies and breastfeeding but they are nonexistent now. Anyways it is so refreshing to see someone embrace small boobs and feel confident. It helps so thank you!!
I felt like you…..got them and I hate them, trying to get them out. I miss my petite boobs. These things never feel like me….like she said… they are bought and feel like they’re not mine. They feeling is different and not in a good way. Hugs are weird. Feels artificial.

Just booked explant for next month. The cost is ROUGH but they’ve pulled the implants I have off the market because of complications and a teeny chance of a type of cancer in the pocket. One of mine got sore and misshapen after 7 years and that’s all the sign I needed to schedule it. I’m a curvy girl and they look so natural for me. I’m nervous to go back to my tiny B cup but my body is telling me it’s time. Thank you for talking about this and easing my mind 🥰

I’ve been self conscious about my small boobs my whole life. This video is healing for me to see someone being so confident and talk about it so openly. I’ve never had a conversation with anyone else in real life about having small boobs, so I’ve always felt alone in it. Your confidence is inspiring!
I was self conscious about my small boobs, until I turned 30 and I started to see what gravity does to the boobs of people my age (even without pregnancies/breastfeeding), now I'm very grateful for my small, unaffected by gravity boobs. 🤣😅
I see a surgeon tomorrow to discuss explant surgery. I cannot wait to have my natural boobs back! no matter how small. These balloons look ridiculous on my small, athletic body, but my health issues are the most important reason I'm getting them removed. Listening to your story is helpful and comforting. Thank you for being so candid and upbeat.
not going to ask or expect a reply, someone responded to a post so i saw ours right under theirs, just hope everything went alright (while yes i'm a guy i've been around, not just the block but the entire city a few times soo lol) rest up well
How did the consultation go? I literally got my boob job May 23rd so it’s only been 1 week and I already HATE them and want them out! So frustrated to go through this healing process and already regret my decision. I’m heartbroken.
You are such an inspiration to me, and such a good example for young women! Although I have cup AA I never had breast implants. I was too scared to do that, because a woman in my village got very sick (I was about 18, and that was in the late 90s). Now I am happy I can do all sports and dance styles without implants that limit my movements.
Love this. It's been almost 3 years since I removed mine. I didn't hate them. They were almost 20 years old. I didn't think they were hurting me, but figured they couldnt be helping me, and I knew they were a ticking bomb. (I think the lifespan is recommended 10 years?) I have no regrets from removing them! Can hug people, lay on my stomach, run and jump, and never have to worry about popping one! I have embraced my small chest and feel more like me, too :) Thanks for sharing!
topic aside - what i have noticed for the longest time with your now: the structure/storytelling of your videos is on point! A+. 5 stars. Plus (as far as non-sit-down videos are concerned): after watching a keltie-video, you are left with a certain feeling...you really developed your own language
Love seeing these chiller, chattier videos with you. Love the Gen Z edits too, but this feels like you in a different way. Thank you for being open with us!
I used to be insecure about my smaller breasts. But as I got older I started appreciating them. My friends with naturally large breasts would always complain about them. Smaller boobs make everything easier, and trust me, men do not complain (and any that do, run the other way, quickly).
I'm almost at my one year explant too, and I am so happy I am back to being me again. I had to remove the capsules because of the kind of implants I had in and I didn't want to risk the possible cancer risk later. I too haven't noticed any major difference after, other than feeling lighter, sleeping on my stomach is lovely, and even though I'm now a lot smaller, I feel so much more feminine. Great video Keltie, I think it's very important to hear feedback from surgeries like this, because some of the Bii videos I find really hard to relate to.
Thanks for sharing your story. Sometimes i think id like to have a fuller chest but hearing testimonies lets me know that i probably dont want implants
Just got mine removed after 7 years, as well. I really have one word: SAME! It's so freaking amazing to hug people and really "feel" them. I feel lighter overall. I have about 80% of the things that women complain about with BII. I'm 2.5 weeks post surgery. I am athletic, but I'm also 50, so I've had to take it very slow. I did a lift as well and it's very invasive. Takes a minute to heal. I would suggest to everyone to take it slow and not overdo it if you work out. I usually walk/job 3 miles a day and right now I can only do about 1 mile because my boobs really hurt if I push it. My advice: go slow, rest and do what feels good for you! Thank you Keltie!! GREAT video!!
Keltie!! I want to express my gratitude for creating and sharing your video about your results one year after explant surgery, your journey of getting implants, the reasons behind it, and your subsequent regrets. Watching your video has been incredibly insightful and eye-opening for me. Firstly, I commend your bravery and honesty in discussing the positive and negative aspects of your decision to get implants. It's difficult to openly share such personal experiences, especially when it involves regrets. Your authenticity is truly appreciated and has resonated with me. Since watching your video about removing the implants, I have been contemplating the same decision. I have had numerous questions and concerns swirling in my mind, and your recent video has provided me with valuable answers and information outside of the typical consultations with doctors. It's incredibly helpful to hear about real experiences from someone who has been through the process. Your video has not only shed light on the physical aspects of explant surgery but also delved into the emotional journey and the reality of being a part of implant removal groups. This comprehensive perspective has given me a better understanding of the entire process and validated my thoughts and doubts.
A simple bloke view - if the point of implants is to impress blokes it's only ever gonna work on the wrong kind of bloke. I should rather hang with a person who has an honest smile and a friendly demeanor than a couple of blobs of silicon that are awkward to hug! - Society seems to have a somewhat distorted view (and an unhealthy obsession) with what a person should look like and it's not a good thing. From oversized chests to teenage girls thinking they need to look super-perfect all the time and folks who think mild obesity is the "Normal" we should all aim to be! It's all a bit mad I think! 👍
I haven’t finished the full video yet but WOWSER - it’s not appropriate for anyone to comment on or question scars on your body, I was blown away! I know there’s probably no ill intent but comments on a persons appearance are never appropriate from strangers in my opinion. You deal with them superbly from the sound of it!
I agree, that was what I would call socially unacceptable 😮 it’s on par with saying, “hey, how did you get that mega zit on your face,” or, “how come you’re in that wheelchair?” People should keep comments like that firmly tucked away in their brain and mind their manners!
Thank you Keltie, your story helped me a lot to accept my body and my size. I had a fight ~15 years with my bodytype. - Social media and it's rule how you have to look like - was very poisonous for me and made bad thoughts of myself. You are a great example for those girls who are struggling with the same problem I had and comfirm that you can be a woman and precious without big boobs. Thank you again, you are very motivating!!! ❤️
I’m so glad you chose to share this with us! I actually used some of the knowledge I gained from your earlier videos on the subject. I never had implants, but I had breast reduction surgery a few months ago, so it’s a similar procedure. I have a bad back, and I’m sure my overly large boobs were a contributing factor. I actually ended up having back surgery two weeks after my breast reduction as well. After the two surgeries, I feel so much better! My back pain is drastically reduced, and I’m really enjoying having smaller boobs. And I’m finally able to get back into the workouts and sport that I love.
I really appreciate your experience with this. I have always wanted implants. I am not sure if I will ever bite the bullet and go for it, but I really want all the information about them. I'm really glad you're happier.
Had mine for 17 years. I loved them. They looked nice no one ever thought they were fake. One broke. I had saline. Last wee had them removed. Embracing natural now!
Yes! After years of wanting and researching implants I had them for 8 years (silicone under the muscle) and was never comfortable with them. I never got used to them. I had them removed in 2016 which was scary since 1) I had no idea how they would look - they look great btw, 2) I had them removed under local anesthesia which is crazy but honestly all I felt was a release of pressure when my surgeon removed them. No regrets. I was so tired of just being so AWARE of my implants all the time.
I think it’s great to see that clarity and feeling like you do not need the implants, nor want them. At the end of the day, us men (not all) are often attracted by them, but that’s not a good reason to have them. We are unfortunately warped by porn. If all men felt like they need to get height surgery, hair transplants, shoulder implants, pec etc in order to be appealing to women, it would be an insight into what some women feel. Respect to you!
And it has to be said ''us men'' are a lot more than you could imagine that just adore ferm little boobs, I cannot help it, okay I can like big ones too but meh it's not practical and the girl lives hell if too big.
Idk why people have to point out things like scars.. I have 2 very obvious scars on my stomach from surgery as a child and people will point it out when I’m wearing a bikini and I just don’t understand that. When I see a “flaw” on someone I don’t point it out 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for the low production value video cause I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed listening to it! I got implants 4 years ago and I’m just waiting for the opportunity to get them out too. I have loved following your journey and I am so looking forward to feeling like myself again. Thank you for the video!
Really appreciate your openness on this subject. It's relatable for a lot of women even if they don't have/aren't considering implants. I see some comments from people who are considering a reduction. For me, I have a hereditary breast cancer mutation and have to make decisions about mastectomy and implants or going flat. Obviously it's not only a cosmetic/body image decision but that is part of it.
Being in gymnastics and ballet since I was 6 and then going to Moscow for real ballet training and then becoming a professional ballerina, I never thought about my boobs. They’re just right and don’t interfere with my career. A lot of the other girls who started developing would tape theirs down.
I’m so proud of you according yourself. People want to get it for attention or whatever reason. But it’s not good for your health or mental health. You is beautiful no matter what!! Keep doing what makes you happy!!!
thank you for being *vulnerable* lol. I think we all do things to our body, but also just in general, that is more motivated by outside forces than our own inner desires. Proud of you for making a choice for YOU.
You’ve always tried to be transparent with yourself and how you want to be received. And I love and respect this about you so much. Here’s to that Netflix doc! Let’s manifest.
Just want to say, I got implants for the “right” reason (because I wanted them) and when people ask “do you regret it” my answer is “yeah but I think I had to do it to realize I didn’t really want them” I just had myself convinced. Hopefully they’ll be coming out soon.
So happy you feel like yourself again that is so important! I never had implants but when I was on fertility medication I gained weight and it all went to my chest and I was not used to having a chest and I hated it. I thought clothes looked weird on me. Feel myself again now that the weight came off.
Thank you for this video! I have been considering getting plastic surgery but your insight on the effects for athletes has definitely turned me off of it :)
I told my original surgeon that I could hardly shave anymore. He looked at me like I was crazy and didn’t comment. You are the only other person I have ever heard say that. Thanks for confirming I wasn’t crazy.
My boobs don’t match my natural frame but they are real. It’s so frustrating to find clothes especially bra’s and swimwear. It always ends up with a cry session 😒 Running is a no go. So i get it. Many, many tears. And honestly, people’s comments on what they look like means nothing to me. Because they do not have to carry them.
I just got mine 3 weeks ago and i love them. However prior to making that decision I wanted to make sure Id be able to remove them. So I really appreciate this video
I love the “I got stabbed” comment. 😂 I had a mole removed from my shoulder when I was a teen and needed a ridiculously large bandage bc I was sensitive to adhesive so they had to wrap all the way around my arm. I was self conscious about it and my doctor said “just tell people you got bit by a shark.” 😂😂
Thank you for sharing! I’m currently saving up to get mine removed. I’m scared that the scars will look bad, and I’m scared about the healing process, but I’m looking forward to getting them out (:
As someone from the opposite perspective with a big bust, big boobs also change your centre of gravity, so you never trained to shoot baskets with boobs and all your muscle memory is from pre-implant days. The hand stand also makes sense because balancing is easier.
Im about 1.5 years post explant and while I LOVED having implants, I removed them due to not wanting toxic silicon bags resting on my organs constantly being warmed by my body. I have never appreciated my body more than since having them removed, they were always so uncomfortable and having a massage and laying on my belly is now soooooo good.
I literally got my boob job May 23rd so it’s only been 1 week and I already HATE them and want them out! So frustrated to go through this painful and long healing process and already regret my decision. I spent years hating my natural boobs and now I want them back. I’m heartbroken.
@@HikeOutside I plan on calling him tomorrow about this. I know he will not be happy but honestly I don’t care. My anxiety levels are through the roof!!! I want these out asap!!
@@sallybutler1005 How did you feel? I feel I made a terrible mistake because I don’t want to get sick with these implants and I have a hard time breathing. It feels like I can’t take a full deep breath. And I miss my natural boobs too. I’ve been very depressed ever since. On Tuesday I will complete the 2 weeks. 😢
@@jesss.5484 hi Jess, I too had my boobs done 5 weeks ago. From around 2 days in I felt extremely regretful and depressed. I honestly want my old boobs back so badly I feel so stupid I don’t even want to show my friends what I have done. I too want an explant but all surgeons are saying that I have to wait a year for it to settle🥲
@@KeltieOConnor thank you! And honestly your first explanation video made me start thinking about getting them removed. I was under going so many medical tests and all coming back as nothing wrong. 4 weeks after, my color and rangers are better than they’ve been for years. So happy I had it done! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Hey kels! i love how open you are about this. i remember it well when you announced your removal/ it was like 1 month prior to my surgery (i got implants). But i had give them tought for over 10 years before proceding with the surgery. But your story did help a lot with my yourney even though i decided to do take implants. But its just like you said, nothing wrong with having the surgery but just be sure you do it for the right reasons and dont take it too lightly. I didnt take them because i was insecure (i mean iam a competitive swimmer so everyone knew and saw i was flat and i didnt care ;) ) But i did it for me, and iam feeling so much more like myself now i have them. And i love to see you feeling much more like yourself without them :D much love from the netherlands
Thank you so much for this video Keltie, I’ve been thinking and looking into getting my implants removed for the past year and this video has helped some reservations I’ve had 👏🏼
At best - the smallest I've been able to be is a D cup. Most of my life I've been a dd. I certainly don't hate my body, but back and occasional shoulder pain, poor balance, and the cost of bras could eventually have me researching a breast reduction. I would love to jog and do certain workouts...even some yoga poses are really difficult. I'm not being ungrateful, but I guess there are always two sides to it.
Did you lose any muscle during recovery? If so how long did it take to get it back and did you change your diet at all since you weren’t able to move as much?
Thanks. I had my implants at 18, now I am nearly 59 and still have the same implants. I always felt they were unnatural and I had the surgery back then out of insecurity. I am planning to have them removed. At 59 I don't need to impress anyone anymore with my looks.
You give great advice/ suggestions too, so when someone says " You HAVE to have the capsule out!", they SHOULD add " in my humble opinion" because that person cares about you as much as you care about your audience, making their "non doctor advice " a VALID point to consider.❤
I had my implants removed a week and 3 days ago - when will they start looking "pretty" again? I feel SO much better physically, but emotionally it's been a roller coaster with how they look with a dent and all that 😅
I had a tumor removed from my breast near my underarm and have a round smooth scar that can be seen in certain shirts. When someone asks what the scar is, I say I was shot before I tell them the truth 🤷♀️😅
Off topic but as an older flat chested female, I always thought that I would never have to worry about them sagging because I was so flat. But I’ve just recently realized that my essentially nonexistent boobs are lower than they were before. I’m looking to strengthen my chest muscles and see if that will help. Just something I thought I’d share for the younger flat chested people. lol
New to your channel, this is third video, and really enjoying your content! I was a band nerd type but as a farm kid was strong but definitely not athletic, later started hiking long distances and took some karate. Anyhoo, very inspired by your challenges and going to set a few of my own! Thanks for that! Also, can I say as a natural DD, I freaking hate having big boobs and am planning for a reduction-lift in the near future. Like you said, clothes shopping is a freaking pain, and I sew so I can alter or make from scratch - still a freaking pain. Also literally a pain sometimes. And can we talk about $75 bras?? And boob sweat almost year ‘round. And they’re ALWAYS in the way. Jeesh 🙄 So glad you’re happy with your decision! Now off to watch some more… 😀
As someone who has naturally large boobs, I’m jealous! I want to lay on my stomach 😂 I’ve been considering a breast reduction. Even when I was at my lowest, I still have huge boobs.
*Little message for my boys out there* As I man I really do think this videos is great even to us. My ex hesitated to do a breast augmentation and you know if I'd stayed dumb about it I'd have thought I'd like it *but* fuck it wouldn't have been nor my girlfriend nor juste *her* after that. She loved sleeping on her stomach, she loved not wearing bras, etc. She just didn't think her torso was attractive and it was false. She got me also by that ; so to you men, think about it : you started dating people with little boobs, don't be matrixed by porn, if you liked hers until then you won't necessarily like them after and mostly everything that comes with it - also, apparently the feeling is weird and boy we men like natural feeling tits, don't we !
I was an N/A from preteen through teens. My breasts are much larger now from life/shit happening, but I really do still feel like that insecure teen that wanted breast implants back in 2003, and I really appreciate you putting this video out into the world. I’ll share below how much mine changed, and I haven’t even had kids. The story doesn’t really matter, but just to share that emotionally. I’m still there even though it’s been years since I have been a participating member of the itty-bitty titty committee. I was shocked when in my early 20s I moved up to an a. At some point I missed the memo that I should’ve been wearing a B. And this is all with a little bit of weight gain over the years, just a little. Then after three concussions, and 20 pounds of weight gain, I was in tears with the nice lady at Victoria’s Secret who put me in the right size bra… I now wear a sea or a D. It’s not what most people think. I don’t have huge honking breasts. I think that’s the double D, that they are envisioning from media.
Thank you for sharing. I am trying to not get too depressed about my fake breast because I know it’s very expensive to remove them now. But someday I will.
3:20 No like seriously, NO ONE makes clothing for boobs. It's insane. I have natural 36DDs on a 5'4" (162.56 cm) frame. My bone structure is tiny. I cannot find clothes that fit (also my back hurts all the time). Considering a reduction after I have kids (honestly so they can lift them at the same time).
Thank you so much for your experience. I would like to remove my breast soon in Bangkok, I went to two doctor for check up what they can help me to remove, one told me that he cut from under breast and one who is make for me in ten years ago , now he remove by armpits exactly where he put them in before. I sad because still very scared 😢to operation again. I’m not strong like you . Congratulations to you that you . make it done.
Question for the Q&A- where are you spending the summer? I would love to see a summer in Sweden vlog. I know you mentioned how magical it is on the podcast when it’s sunny til 1am! ☀️
I'm currently waiting to have my implants removed. I've had them for 15 years. At this point my symptoms are so severe and debilitating that I don't think it's possible to ever fully recover. The fatigue and brain fog have nearly pretty much destroyed my life. All I can do is hope for the best
Hi there...I'm going to be seeing a plastic surgeon soon for consultation. I'm so ready to feel better and get them out...can you please share with me how you are doing 💕🙏🏼
After you get them out, I bet a naturopathic or functional medicine doctor can help you do a detox that can help you get the residual effects out of your body. The first step is definitely to get them out so that your body can start to heal.
I just had mine removed and I can't find ANY photos of people's experience day 1 of explant VS day 365 etc and how they change. do you share any more content on how exactly they changed from day 1 to a year later?
This is exactly how I feel now, 1 year after BA they’re fine but I don’t like myself in them I regret it so bad and I am thinking to remove them but I say I’ve been through that pain and wasted money at least try to give them a chance 😂😂
I currently have 350 cc & they are & look too big for me .As previously i was already a B cup & now i m like a D or DD .My original boobs were too small , not only for my taste but for my clothers , without a push up bra the shirt was empthy while fitting my waist & stomach . So either i had my weist & belly shrunk or get biggest boobs or accept clothes not fitting me .i ve got similar problem now as , now they too big .A 200-250 cc would have been proportional to my body .They look good in certain outfits but i need to be careful what i wear cause i dislike attention to my body . In a Regular high V neck T they are not very visible but in a bikini i can't hide they are fake .i ll probably remove them in future .
For bloating, you could do videos first thing in the morning before eating. I’ve seen another workout girl mention this on TH-cam too. I have struggled with bloating for years too. If you take activated charcoal right when you wake up, that will flatten out the stomach too. And it would probably help sweep up some of the leftover toxins in your body after having breast implants
It's so weird listening to you talk about having ever had big boobs, when even with implants I was jealous of how small & perfect I perceived you/them to be. I'm in the process of getting a referral for a reduction from a 36 G/H to hopefully like... I think a C cup would be nice? I can't imagine, the last time I wore a B cup I was like 12, but I feel like that size would be amazing for all the sports I like doing. You look great and I'm glad you love having them out!
I totally lost my boobs 22 years ago when I started working out…they made reappearances during all three pregnancies and breastfeeding but they are nonexistent now. Anyways it is so refreshing to see someone embrace small boobs and feel confident. It helps so thank you!!
So happy I can help us LIBTC girlies learn to love them!! Thank you for this comment 🥹🩵

I used to be insecure about my smaller breasts. But as I got older I started appreciating them. My friends with naturally large breasts would always complain about them. Smaller boobs make everything easier, and trust me, men do not complain (and any that do, run the other way, quickly).
I love how you say anything. I hate for you to deal with menopause but I feel like you will talk about it and FINALLY people will get it.
I think it’s an important and useful video for many women. Thank you for filming it! And I’m incredibly happy for you, Keltie❤
Thank you so much Diana 🩵
I'm almost at my one year explant too, and I am so happy I am back to being me again. I had to remove the capsules because of the kind of implants I had in and I didn't want to risk the possible cancer risk later. I too haven't noticed any major difference after, other than feeling lighter, sleeping on my stomach is lovely, and even though I'm now a lot smaller, I feel so much more feminine. Great video Keltie, I think it's very important to hear feedback from surgeries like this, because some of the Bii videos I find really hard to relate to.
Thanks for sharing your story. Sometimes i think id like to have a fuller chest but hearing testimonies lets me know that i probably dont want implants
Just got mine removed after 7 years, as well. I really have one word: SAME! It's so freaking amazing to hug people and really "feel" them. I feel lighter overall. I have about 80% of the things that women complain about with BII. I'm 2.5 weeks post surgery. I am athletic, but I'm also 50, so I've had to take it very slow. I did a lift as well and it's very invasive. Takes a minute to heal. I would suggest to everyone to take it slow and not overdo it if you work out. I usually walk/job 3 miles a day and right now I can only do about 1 mile because my boobs really hurt if I push it. My advice: go slow, rest and do what feels good for you! Thank you Keltie!! GREAT video!!
I'm 1 month to explanating cant wait
Keltie!! I want to express my gratitude for creating and sharing your video about your results one year after explant surgery, your journey of getting implants, the reasons behind it, and your subsequent regrets. Watching your video has been incredibly insightful and eye-opening for me. Firstly, I commend your bravery and honesty in discussing the positive and negative aspects of your decision to get implants. It's difficult to openly share such personal experiences, especially when it involves regrets. Your authenticity is truly appreciated and has resonated with me. Since watching your video about removing the implants, I have been contemplating the same decision. I have had numerous questions and concerns swirling in my mind, and your recent video has provided me with valuable answers and information outside of the typical consultations with doctors. It's incredibly helpful to hear about real experiences from someone who has been through the process. Your video has not only shed light on the physical aspects of explant surgery but also delved into the emotional journey and the reality of being a part of implant removal groups. This comprehensive perspective has given me a better understanding of the entire process and validated my thoughts and doubts.
A simple bloke view - if the point of implants is to impress blokes it's only ever gonna work on the wrong kind of bloke. I should rather hang with a person who has an honest smile and a friendly demeanor than a couple of blobs of silicon that are awkward to hug! - Society seems to have a somewhat distorted view (and an unhealthy obsession) with what a person should look like and it's not a good thing. From oversized chests to teenage girls thinking they need to look super-perfect all the time and folks who think mild obesity is the "Normal" we should all aim to be! It's all a bit mad I think! 👍
I as a woman, feel the same about things like penile implants for men.
@@nmc1859 Yeah, that shit is insane!! Like there are toys to work with now if you’re considered small and you love the person. Whew.
I so agree!!!
Except.... The vast majority of men are the opposite of you, & your comment stands out because of that.
I haven’t finished the full video yet but WOWSER - it’s not appropriate for anyone to comment on or question scars on your body, I was blown away! I know there’s probably no ill intent but comments on a persons appearance are never appropriate from strangers in my opinion. You deal with them superbly from the sound of it!
I agree, that was what I would call socially unacceptable 😮 it’s on par with saying, “hey, how did you get that mega zit on your face,” or, “how come you’re in that wheelchair?”
People should keep comments like that firmly tucked away in their brain and mind their manners!
Wow this is so true!! Now I’m 109% going to make up some wild story and not feel guilty of it HAHAHHA
Thank you Keltie, your story helped me a lot to accept my body and my size. I had a fight ~15 years with my bodytype. - Social media and it's rule how you have to look like - was very poisonous for me and made bad thoughts of myself. You are a great example for those girls who are struggling with the same problem I had and comfirm that you can be a woman and precious without big boobs. Thank you again, you are very motivating!!! ❤️
I’m so glad you chose to share this with us! I actually used some of the knowledge I gained from your earlier videos on the subject. I never had implants, but I had breast reduction surgery a few months ago, so it’s a similar procedure. I have a bad back, and I’m sure my overly large boobs were a contributing factor. I actually ended up having back surgery two weeks after my breast reduction as well. After the two surgeries, I feel so much better! My back pain is drastically reduced, and I’m really enjoying having smaller boobs. And I’m finally able to get back into the workouts and sport that I love.
I really appreciate your experience with this. I have always wanted implants. I am not sure if I will ever bite the bullet and go for it, but I really want all the information about them. I'm really glad you're happier.
I just got implants out last week- thank you for sharing your journey, it’s been so encouraging!!!
Hi, how long have you had them, and how are you feeling now?
Had mine for 17 years. I loved them. They looked nice no one ever thought they were fake. One broke. I had saline. Last wee had them removed. Embracing natural now!
Yes! After years of wanting and researching implants I had them for 8 years (silicone under the muscle) and was never comfortable with them. I never got used to them. I had them removed in 2016 which was scary since 1) I had no idea how they would look - they look great btw, 2) I had them removed under local anesthesia which is crazy but honestly all I felt was a release of pressure when my surgeon removed them. No regrets. I was so tired of just being so AWARE of my implants all the time.
Makes sense.
I think it’s great to see that clarity and feeling like you do not need the implants, nor want them. At the end of the day, us men (not all) are often attracted by them, but that’s not a good reason to have them. We are unfortunately warped by porn. If all men felt like they need to get height surgery, hair transplants, shoulder implants, pec etc in order to be appealing to women, it would be an insight into what some women feel. Respect to you!
Love this insight from the other side!! Thank you so much!!
And it has to be said ''us men'' are a lot more than you could imagine that just adore ferm little boobs, I cannot help it, okay I can like big ones too but meh it's not practical and the girl lives hell if too big.
Thank you so much for this insightful comment. I so agree!
Idk why people have to point out things like scars.. I have 2 very obvious scars on my stomach from surgery as a child and people will point it out when I’m wearing a bikini and I just don’t understand that. When I see a “flaw” on someone I don’t point it out 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for the low production value video cause I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed listening to it! I got implants 4 years ago and I’m just waiting for the opportunity to get them out too. I have loved following your journey and I am so looking forward to feeling like myself again. Thank you for the video!
Really appreciate your openness on this subject. It's relatable for a lot of women even if they don't have/aren't considering implants. I see some comments from people who are considering a reduction. For me, I have a hereditary breast cancer mutation and have to make decisions about mastectomy and implants or going flat. Obviously it's not only a cosmetic/body image decision but that is part of it.
Being in gymnastics and ballet since I was 6 and then going to Moscow for real ballet training and then becoming a professional ballerina, I never thought about my boobs. They’re just right and don’t interfere with my career. A lot of the other girls who started developing would tape theirs down.
So interesting to hear from a ballerinas perspective!
I’m so proud of you according yourself. People want to get it for attention or whatever reason. But it’s not good for your health or mental health. You is beautiful no matter what!! Keep doing what makes you happy!!!
thank you for being *vulnerable* lol. I think we all do things to our body, but also just in general, that is more motivated by outside forces than our own inner desires. Proud of you for making a choice for YOU.
Thank you so much Caroline!!! 🩵🩵
You’ve always tried to be transparent with yourself and how you want to be received. And I love and respect this about you so much. Here’s to that Netflix doc! Let’s manifest.
Your experience and honesty is so important Keltie. Thank you so much
Your honesty is appreciated.
Thank you so much!!
It makes so much sense, you are so real and authentic….and now you feel more like yourself! ❤ I can’t believe it’s been a year!!
nobody ever talks about how uncomfortable it is doing pushups with implants😭😭
That weird pulling sensation is definitely something!
Omg I had implants for years and always hated that feeling during push ups or pull ups
Does it affect your ability to do them though?
@@jungin-bc3eh not 100%, but sometime have to stop, wait, and begin again. feels like a muscle being pulled with out the pain?
God I hate doing push ups or pull ups. But so far that’s the only thing I don’t like
Just want to say, I got implants for the “right” reason (because I wanted them) and when people ask “do you regret it” my answer is “yeah but I think I had to do it to realize I didn’t really want them” I just had myself convinced. Hopefully they’ll be coming out soon.
So happy you feel like yourself again that is so important! I never had implants but when I was on fertility medication I gained weight and it all went to my chest and I was not used to having a chest and I hated it. I thought clothes looked weird on me. Feel myself again now that the weight came off.
Thank you for this video! I have been considering getting plastic surgery but your insight on the effects for athletes has definitely turned me off of it :)
I’m so happy my videos could help you with this! 🍉 are fun, but being athletic is even funner!
I explant in 3 days! What you shared here is exactly how I feel. I've had them for half my life. I'm soooo excited.
How are you recovering
I told my original surgeon that I could hardly shave anymore. He looked at me like I was crazy and didn’t comment. You are the only other person I have ever heard say that. Thanks for confirming I wasn’t crazy.
I’m getting my breast implants taken out on 25 March after having them for 20 years. I have such a hard time shaving my armpits
My boobs don’t match my natural frame but they are real. It’s so frustrating to find clothes especially bra’s and swimwear. It always ends up with a cry session 😒 Running is a no go. So i get it. Many, many tears. And honestly, people’s comments on what they look like means nothing to me. Because they do not have to carry them.
Love your sense of humour and realness! Can you tell them it was a sharkbite?🤣 Might turn into a brand deal
oh my god hahhaha!! I’m totally saying shark bite
Thank you for your honesty and for sharing.
I just got mine 3 weeks ago and i love them. However prior to making that decision I wanted to make sure Id be able to remove them. So I really appreciate this video
From my point of view, you are a lovely, all natural girl and that is the best. Can't beat that!
I love you’re authenticity 👍🧡.
I love the “I got stabbed” comment. 😂 I had a mole removed from my shoulder when I was a teen and needed a ridiculously large bandage bc I was sensitive to adhesive so they had to wrap all the way around my arm. I was self conscious about it and my doctor said “just tell people you got bit by a shark.” 😂😂
You should do more shopping hauls. I'm doing a wardrobe change myself. It would be super helpful!
I would love to!!
Thank you for this I’m getting the explant surgery and I’m really excited. I appointment you and your you tube!❤️
Thank you for sharing! I’m currently saving up to get mine removed. I’m scared that the scars will look bad, and I’m scared about the healing process, but I’m looking forward to getting them out (:
I’m so proud of you. This is amazing and inspiring to be able to realize this about yourself
Thank you so much 🩵🩵
As someone from the opposite perspective with a big bust, big boobs also change your centre of gravity, so you never trained to shoot baskets with boobs and all your muscle memory is from pre-implant days. The hand stand also makes sense because balancing is easier.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am having my surgery for e plant December 5th.
Having all symptoms ASIA Syndrome.
Ready for this finally.🙏
Im about 1.5 years post explant and while I LOVED having implants, I removed them due to not wanting toxic silicon bags resting on my organs constantly being warmed by my body. I have never appreciated my body more than since having them removed, they were always so uncomfortable and having a massage and laying on my belly is now soooooo good.
Hi, did you get a lift?
@@savannahclement9821 no lift just explant. I had 400cc implants and my surgeon assured me most women dont need a lift - I now totally agree..
Hated my breast implants, I just had them removed and so happy and free now lol
So happy you found freedom!!
I literally got my boob job May 23rd so it’s only been 1 week and I already HATE them and want them out! So frustrated to go through this painful and long healing process and already regret my decision. I spent years hating my natural boobs and now I want them back. I’m heartbroken.
discuss that with your surgeon to get a game plan for explant
@@HikeOutside I plan on calling him tomorrow about this. I know he will not be happy but honestly I don’t care. My anxiety levels are through the roof!!! I want these out asap!!
@@jesss.5484 hey! take a deep breath. body stuff takes some time so if just call him and think of the future and not the what ifs for now
@@sallybutler1005 How did you feel? I feel I made a terrible mistake because I don’t want to get sick with these implants and I have a hard time breathing. It feels like I can’t take a full deep breath. And I miss my natural boobs too. I’ve been very depressed ever since. On Tuesday I will complete the 2 weeks. 😢
@@jesss.5484 hi Jess, I too had my boobs done 5 weeks ago. From around 2 days in I felt extremely regretful and depressed. I honestly want my old boobs back so badly I feel so stupid I don’t even want to show my friends what I have done. I too want an explant but all surgeons are saying that I have to wait a year for it to settle🥲
I love it!! Congratulations to you celebrating your body for what it is!❤️
I appreciate this video. Thanks for representing us small chested ladies!
I just got mine removed 4 weeks ago. I already feel better. I had mine for 12 years.
Congrats on your explant!!
@@KeltieOConnor thank you! And honestly your first explanation video made me start thinking about getting them removed. I was under going so many medical tests and all coming back as nothing wrong. 4 weeks after, my color and rangers are better than they’ve been for years. So happy I had it done! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Hey kels! i love how open you are about this. i remember it well when you announced your removal/ it was like 1 month prior to my surgery (i got implants). But i had give them tought for over 10 years before proceding with the surgery. But your story did help a lot with my yourney even though i decided to do take implants. But its just like you said, nothing wrong with having the surgery but just be sure you do it for the right reasons and dont take it too lightly. I didnt take them because i was insecure (i mean iam a competitive swimmer so everyone knew and saw i was flat and i didnt care ;) ) But i did it for me, and iam feeling so much more like myself now i have them.
And i love to see you feeling much more like yourself without them :D
much love from the netherlands
Welcome back to the club!
Thank you so much for this video Keltie, I’ve been thinking and looking into getting my implants removed for the past year and this video has helped some reservations I’ve had 👏🏼
Lol, first time I hear LIBTC, love it. You look awesome just the way you are Keltie.
So happy it was the right decision for you💕
Thank you for sharing your story, Keltie! 💖💖💖
Thank you for the save place to share 🩵
At best - the smallest I've been able to be is a D cup. Most of my life I've been a dd. I certainly don't hate my body, but back and occasional shoulder pain, poor balance, and the cost of bras could eventually have me researching a breast reduction. I would love to jog and do certain workouts...even some yoga poses are really difficult. I'm not being ungrateful, but I guess there are always two sides to it.
Did you lose any muscle during recovery? If so how long did it take to get it back and did you change your diet at all since you weren’t able to move as much?
Thanks. I had my implants at 18, now I am nearly 59 and still have the same implants. I always felt they were unnatural and I had the surgery back then out of insecurity. I am planning to have them removed. At 59 I don't need to impress anyone anymore with my looks.
You give great advice/ suggestions too, so when someone says " You HAVE to have the capsule out!", they SHOULD add " in my humble opinion" because that person cares about you as much as you care about your audience, making their "non doctor advice " a VALID point to consider.❤
I had my implants removed a week and 3 days ago - when will they start looking "pretty" again? I feel SO much better physically, but emotionally it's been a roller coaster with how they look with a dent and all that 😅
I had explant surgery and a lift August 2021… best thing ever
LOVE that for you!!
I had a tumor removed from my breast near my underarm and have a round smooth scar that can be seen in certain shirts. When someone asks what the scar is, I say I was shot before I tell them the truth 🤷♀️😅
Off topic but as an older flat chested female, I always thought that I would never have to worry about them sagging because I was so flat. But I’ve just recently realized that my essentially nonexistent boobs are lower than they were before. I’m looking to strengthen my chest muscles and see if that will help. Just something I thought I’d share for the younger flat chested people. lol
New to your channel, this is third video, and really enjoying your content! I was a band nerd type but as a farm kid was strong but definitely not athletic, later started hiking long distances and took some karate. Anyhoo, very inspired by your challenges and going to set a few of my own! Thanks for that! Also, can I say as a natural DD, I freaking hate having big boobs and am planning for a reduction-lift in the near future. Like you said, clothes shopping is a freaking pain, and I sew so I can alter or make from scratch - still a freaking pain. Also literally a pain sometimes. And can we talk about $75 bras?? And boob sweat almost year ‘round. And they’re ALWAYS in the way. Jeesh 🙄 So glad you’re happy with your decision! Now off to watch some more… 😀
As someone who has naturally large boobs, I’m jealous! I want to lay on my stomach 😂 I’ve been considering a breast reduction. Even when I was at my lowest, I still have huge boobs.
Had a breast reduction at the age of 22, honestly the best thing I’ve ever done hands down! I’m 37 now and I 10/10 recommend
My friend had one, she recovered well and doesn’t regret! Less headaches/backaches, etc.
I could’ve written this comment myself! Oh my gosh, my boobs are the bane of my existence and I’m absolutely planning for a reduction someday
Always so fascinating hearing other perspectives!! I feel you were blessed by god! Grass is always greener on the other side right lol?
Hi, I am new and didn't know you played university basketball
Thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you for listening! Also welcome to the channel ☺️
*Little message for my boys out there*
As I man I really do think this videos is great even to us.
My ex hesitated to do a breast augmentation and you know if I'd stayed dumb about it I'd have thought I'd like it *but* fuck it wouldn't have been nor my girlfriend nor juste *her* after that.
She loved sleeping on her stomach, she loved not wearing bras, etc.
She just didn't think her torso was attractive and it was false.
She got me also by that ;
so to you men, think about it : you started dating people with little boobs, don't be matrixed by porn, if you liked hers until then you won't necessarily like them after and mostly everything that comes with it - also, apparently the feeling is weird and boy we men like natural feeling tits, don't we !
Happy Saturday Keltie, have a great long weekend!
Hope you had a great weekend too Vanessa!! 🩵
I was an N/A from preteen through teens. My breasts are much larger now from life/shit happening, but I really do still feel like that insecure teen that wanted breast implants back in 2003, and I really appreciate you putting this video out into the world. I’ll share below how much mine changed, and I haven’t even had kids. The story doesn’t really matter, but just to share that emotionally. I’m still there even though it’s been years since I have been a participating member of the itty-bitty titty committee.
I was shocked when in my early 20s I moved up to an a. At some point I missed the memo that I should’ve been wearing a B. And this is all with a little bit of weight gain over the years, just a little. Then after three concussions, and 20 pounds of weight gain, I was in tears with the nice lady at Victoria’s Secret who put me in the right size bra… I now wear a sea or a D. It’s not what most people think. I don’t have huge honking breasts. I think that’s the double D, that they are envisioning from media.
Thank you for sharing. I am trying to not get too depressed about my fake breast because I know it’s very expensive to remove them now. But someday I will.
3:20 No like seriously, NO ONE makes clothing for boobs. It's insane. I have natural 36DDs on a 5'4" (162.56 cm) frame. My bone structure is tiny. I cannot find clothes that fit (also my back hurts all the time). Considering a reduction after I have kids (honestly so they can lift them at the same time).
Thank you so much for your experience.
I would like to remove my breast soon in Bangkok, I went to two doctor for check up what they can help me to remove, one told me that he cut from under breast and one who is make for me in ten years ago , now he remove by armpits exactly where he put them in before.
I sad because still very scared 😢to operation again. I’m not strong like you . Congratulations to you that you . make it done.
How bout “I was attacked by a monkey” 🐒 ?? I’m so glad to hear how happy you are!!❤ And I just love how you are an open book 💕
Question for the Q&A- where are you spending the summer? I would love to see a summer in Sweden vlog. I know you mentioned how magical it is on the podcast when it’s sunny til 1am! ☀️
Love this one too!!
So happy to hear you got them taken out!!! Implants are NEVER a good idea.
I'm currently waiting to have my implants removed. I've had them for 15 years. At this point my symptoms are so severe and debilitating that I don't think it's possible to ever fully recover. The fatigue and brain fog have nearly pretty much destroyed my life. All I can do is hope for the best
Hi there...I'm going to be seeing a plastic surgeon soon for consultation. I'm so ready to feel better and get them out...can you please share with me how you are doing 💕🙏🏼
After you get them out, I bet a naturopathic or functional medicine doctor can help you do a detox that can help you get the residual effects out of your body. The first step is definitely to get them out so that your body can start to heal.
So sorry you’ve suffered so much ❤️ I’ve read good things about people’s recovery after they get them out. I have a lot of hope for your healing!
Arnica is the best. I used it after giving birth. Awesome stuff
I just had mine removed and I can't find ANY photos of people's experience day 1 of explant VS day 365 etc and how they change. do you share any more content on how exactly they changed from day 1 to a year later?
Loved that one! Love to listen to you 😊
This is exactly how I feel now, 1 year after BA they’re fine but I don’t like myself in them I regret it so bad and I am thinking to remove them but I say I’ve been through that pain and wasted money at least try to give them a chance 😂😂
Really inspirational and honest as always ❤
I just got mine taken out a week ago and I already feel so much more myself!
Ohhhhhh my gosh. I now remember how I found you! The capsule wardrobe videos…..I think? Definitely the hair loss videos l.
That makes me so happy!! Also you’ll be happy to hear a video I have planned for June around one of those 👀
Happy Victoria Day long weekend, Keltie!❤❤
You’re funny, smart, STILL exceptionally attractive and probably much healthier without them. Good decision. Enjoy your channel.
I currently have 350 cc & they are & look too big for me .As previously i was already a B cup & now i m like a D or DD .My original boobs were too small , not only for my taste but for my clothers , without a push up bra the shirt was empthy while fitting my waist & stomach . So either i had my weist & belly shrunk or get biggest boobs or accept clothes not fitting me .i ve got similar problem now as , now they too big .A 200-250 cc would have been proportional to my body .They look good in certain outfits but i need to be careful what i wear cause i dislike attention to my body .
In a Regular high V neck T they are not very visible but in a bikini i can't hide they are fake .i ll probably remove them in future .
For bloating, you could do videos first thing in the morning before eating. I’ve seen another workout girl mention this on TH-cam too. I have struggled with bloating for years too. If you take activated charcoal right when you wake up, that will flatten out the stomach too. And it would probably help sweep up some of the leftover toxins in your body after having breast implants
Not me being so dehydrated today and my name is TRACY! Looooool! I was shooook
It's so weird listening to you talk about having ever had big boobs, when even with implants I was jealous of how small & perfect I perceived you/them to be. I'm in the process of getting a referral for a reduction from a 36 G/H to hopefully like... I think a C cup would be nice? I can't imagine, the last time I wore a B cup I was like 12, but I feel like that size would be amazing for all the sports I like doing. You look great and I'm glad you love having them out!
She finally told me to drink some water! I literally have been waiting for the day and I needed it haha my lips are so dry!
