If anyone is on the fence, my dad told me when I was younger "there's nothing in your life that you could or couldn't acheive because of boobs" in his life he has seen a lot of women have it done. And their confidence sometimes rises after, that boost in confidence will push them, however if they found other ways to increase their confidence they would be equally as successful. He meant it's not ever actually about the boobs. I also have no boobs. I weight train heavily, at this point I think I have more muscle tissue in my pecs than breast tissue in my boobs. And sometimes the thought crosses my mind about getting implants. Then I think about the surgical upkeep, how you can't train the same, how expensive it is and how else I could use that money, how they move over time in there, if I ever have complications my chest will be WRECKED, how I won't be able to grapple the same, and how it won't actually do anything for me at all. Really it has very little value in my life. And if I do this and don't like it, or have to remove them my chest is destroyed, never the same. The cost value trade off is all wrong. I would rather have my natural chest than risk the deformity from surgery. I would be absolutely gutted forever if my chest was disfigured and I'm really not upset with my body in any form currently, I'm pretty freaking proud of the body I've built. I'll just stick with clothes not fitting me and not having bras made for me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Opposite end of the spectrum, I’ve always had very large boobs and just the daily hassle and pain finally got to be too much. About two weeks ago I had a reduction and I’m so excited to heal so that I can do all of the things I couldn’t do before. I’m really happy that you feel close enough to us to share this with us. I hope things go well as you look into getting them removed.

One critique, you said some people are "blessed" with natural big boobs and are skinny. That thought process perpetuates the idea that only big boobs are desirable. The term " blessed" in regards to chest size has been used for decades, it's been ingrained in females from a young age that size matters. We need to stop this way of thinking and be happy that we are "blessed" with a body that lets us live. Thanks for opening up with us!

If you haven't enjoyed them this whole time then I would save and have them removed. Then make videos about it since you can't with fitness we'll all still be here supporting snd watching keltie

Your comment about “even if we are aware of how media manipulates us, we still fall into it” just, ah. That’s been me! Thanks for saying that! I feel understood ❤

As a member of the naturally saggy boob community (always had boobs on the larger side and they've always hung low) just wanted to share my opinion that saggy boobs are vilified but really not the bad. When I was younger I would exclusively wear push-up bras and would get compliments but it was kind of painful. Now I go braless when I'm not exercising and have just learned to dress in a way that it looks good imo.

Sometimes sitting and talking without all the edits and "cinematic" extras is what the world needs. It makes the video much more authentic and honest. I also often use edits to cover up the seriousness of a video because I'm nervous and worried about being vulnerable. In reality, it's often scarier to just sit down and talk. Either way, Keltie, thank you as always for being honest and sharing your story. (Apologies for the rant) But I also just want to say that as someone who has suffered from an ED... I totally get the feeling of not being able to fit societies mold of what women should look like... It's horrible that the world is like this, but when people share their story, like you are, we can work towards breaking this mold and reinforcing that every woman is different, and that IS OKAY. We are not all meant to look the same. I'm a bit of a hypocrite when I say this, but we all need to work on loving what we have, but ALSO, realizing that if you want to change your body for YOU. Then go ahead! As long as it's what you want and you are not doing it to please society. Okay... I'm done now... Going to enjoy a COBS eggnog scone ✌️

You mentioned the only thing holding you back is that they’re expensive, so to make the cost hurt a little less, maybe think of it more as an investment in your happiness, well being, and overall quality of life! You probably know that already though. Thank you for your vulnerability, Keltie! Cheering you on ♥️

Keltie: You are an amazing woman, I watch your channel, not for your body but your energy and the utter joy you exclude when you do a challenge and when you met your fitness idols (one of you "fixing" your "pancake butt" was amazing, you could feel your joy and laughter throughout the video. Thanks to you I started my own fitness journey and started to volunteer at the local Humane Society walking and yes petting dogs that people left behind or didn't want. It brings me joy to do this and love the motto: Pet all the Dogs! Please, please keep being authentic you that we all love. - Michael

Thank you for being open and honest about plastic surgery- nothing against it at all, but I think a lot of people on social media don't talk about it and it warps your perception of yourself. As much as I logically know social media is fake, when you're in it and down the rabbit hole you aren't thinking about it. Especially the mid-size/plus size side, they miraculously have flat stomachs, big boobs and bums and I look at myself as a mid-size girl and wonder why I don't look like that- because I haven't had a tummy tuck/boob job/BBL... I just feel like social media needs to come with a disclaimer with every post.

I'm a skinny girl with no boobs, and when I was late teens early 20s, I wanted to get them so badly. I even had a boyfriend (now ex) offer to pay half. Reflecting a decade later, I am so darn glad I didn't get them. I love my body just as it is, and I love that I can workout easily without issues, and I don't have back pain, and perhaps most importantly, I realized that I never want a man who is only attracted to me for something like that. Every girl has a different story. That is just mine.

Thank you Keltie for this video. I feel like more young girls need to know this.

It's so weird I ALWAYS wanted a nose job when I was in my early 20s. And over my 20s I've actually grown to like my face more (probably because as you get older you just start liking yourself more and stop caring as much about what other people think). And I'm so glad now that I just didn't have the means to do it back then. Your look definitely still develops over your 20s and I really think you grow into yourself as you age so that would definitely be the advice I would add on to this. From a fellow Canadian to another been following you for ages and so proud to see your channel and where's its at now :)

I think this is SO positive and brave. Admitting mistakes is super brave. Knowing yourself is super hot. Introspection is so good.

I really did love this video. The number of people that lie to their following saying they never got surgery and their body is just amazing cause of genetics is frustrating. It doesn't bother me if you get plastic surgery or not, just don't lie to people saying it's natural or because of a dumb product for the money. Thank you Keltie. Sending love!

I just love the self love journey you've been on the last few years. The vulnerability in this video was 👌 lets normalize being open about the downsides to permanently modifying our bodies, because as we age, our taste changes. And that's okay!

Thank you for being so open and honest about this topic. I’ve always had a small chest and I’ve struggled with the pressure to have surgery. I’m really into weightlifting and I never thought about the effects it might have on certain exercises. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! I don’t think this is talked about enough.

Thank you for sharing 🥺💖 as a petite woman who is into fitness, I've often looked at fitness influencers who have the "shredded but has giant boobs" body type and wondered what I'm missing! It's made me feel embarrassed that I can never look like them. Especially bc I've always thought they were all completely natural! I can't imagine how scary this was to share, but please know that every time I fall into the rabbit hole of wanting what others have, I'm going to come back to this video and remind myself of what's important. THANK YOU 💖

Our stories are so similar. After 7+ years I finally had mine removed. Best decision I've ever made. We have a similar physique and I couldn't be happier with my results post-removal. I didn't experience any sagging or other negative effects like others will warn you about. My husband loves the way they look and it's so liberating to feel like myself again. I am Canadian but had mine removed in the US. It was an in office procedure without anesthesia (only numbing). The procedure took less than 20 min and my husband sat in the room with us. My doctor was extremely confident and it was an easy painless experience (mine were under the muscle as well). I have a minimal scar now (same place as my original scar under my breast fold). Like you, I paid $10k+ Cdn to get them but it was only $400 Usd to have them removed! It was shockingly simple to undo a decision I had spent the past 7+ years regretting. I encourage you to look into options in the US and applaud you for making this video.

We love you and your honesty. It’s crazy looking at you - you’re so beautiful and I wouldn’t have ever imagined, even before your surgery, thst you would have any insecurities. It’s an important reminder for me at least not to compare myself to others and that we all go through hardships with all bodies, regardless of how perfect we think others look . 💓💗

This is such an important topic. I’ve riddled over and over in my head “where is the line” of media influence on appearance and where it’s “actually someone’s personal decision.” It is suuuuuuch a thin line. Also so much to unpack around how you described that this is so much more of an issue for women and a commentary on women’s bodies. Woof I get so fired up

As someone who naturally has larger breasts, I really appreciate this. Ive always dressed to hide them, they aren't comfortable to work out in AT ALL, I have to wear constricting sports bras just to go for a run because it literally hurts to run with them. At the end of the day it's an individual's choice to get them... but I always advise friends against it. I LOVE YOGA, but I literally get suffocated by my boobs every time I do yoga and it's very annoying. My mum got breast reduction surgery a few years ago and has never been happier. I'm going to wait till I have kids for breastfeeding purposes.. But right after that i will also get them reduced. And a hint for any naturally larger breasted women in Canada, a breast reduction is FREEEEEEEEE because it medically can cause MANY chronic back injuries! So if that is something you want but you're worried about the price, It's free just talk to you FD!

Thank you for opening up about this and your honesty about both why you got them and why you want them removed. I think it'll help a lot of people out there when considering breast augmentations.

This actually made me really emotional. There’s a lot I want to say about how much this video means to me that I don’t necessarily want to say in a public comment lol, but just know I really appreciate you opening up about this, you’re certainly not obligated to. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I've been really insecure about my chest for a really long time. I've considered breast implants but I finally decided this past summer against it. I know ultimately I will need to deal with my body image issues on the inside. Can't fix what's broken on the inside from the outside. Breast augmentation isn't just a vain thing. I don't really feel feminine because I have a small chest. I never feel sexy because in my head sexy means boobs. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm all for women doing whatever the hell it is they want to do with their bodies but I do appreciate people being very open an honest about it. I honestly think it's not good for most people to get elective surgery in their twenties, especially if you can't afford to get it undone

Thank you for opening up! I feel like the stigma around plastic surgery needs to go and no one should feel like they should hide it. My boobs were a AA cup and completely deflated from losing weight and breast feeding. I was so unhappy with them. I got my breasts done for me and I absolutely love them! I finally feel feminine and like I have the boobs that fit my body. Not too big, not too small, perfect. It was never about what others thought. It was 1000% for me. I have no regrets but I know so many people that do. So I think it’s definitely worth an extensive look inward before you decide to do it. Do what it’s really right for YOU, no one else. Love you girl!

Dear Keltie, I was on the verge of getting my 'boob job done'. Not for my job, but for the hourglass shape/look. Through that decision making process I've been feeling that I will hate sth artificial in my body. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in the most perfect moment for me ❤️❤️❤️

The fact that you've put so much internal thought into every aspect of "Younger Keltie" and "Keltie today" screams everything that is amazingly inspirational about the beautiful soul you've become. Your openness and honesty is a light the online world has been missing for much too long. Thank you for for sharing your life with the world. With me. I'm fairly sure I speak for many when I say, you LITTERLARY make the world a better place by being in it. Since getting so sick,(18 weeks of chemo done, test came back showing it's not working, so I stopped treatment.) I have questioning my mortality, what I've actually achieved, how I will be remembered or if I even will be, has made my 43 self own and appreciate the things I have done out of fear, decisions I have made out of love and choices I have made simply put, just for me, not for anyone else, just me. Not selfishly, but from self love point of view. Keltie, watching you has made me laugh from my deepest belly, cry the biggest tears, and I mean UGLY ass crying💜. I've had so much time to reflect and accept what simply just "is" , changed what I wanted to change. Learned to live and love the simplicity of my own life. You have shared things with the world most people don't share with their family, friends or therapist. I have the deepest respect and admiration for you and all the amazing things you've set your mind and heart on, took your shot and killed it. Your bravery is something to behold and I feel lucky to have been a fan from the island in the sea. Always stay awesome. Love from me, #MsGrey & #MsOreo the rescued Huskies out East. 💜🤙🇨🇦

I literally had a boob job scheduled for September 23rd 2021. And on August 22nd, the deadline to cancel without penalty, I woke up and was like - what am I doing?! I a) can't afford this b) don't need this! But I had felt so so insecure about not having boobs for so long but the weirdest thing happened - the second I decided to cancel, I didn't feel insecure anymore. I felt like I had made a choice for me. I had decided for once and for all that I was okay with small boobs. It doesn't mean I won't think about other types of plastic surgery like filler or botox, I think we have every right to change our bodies, and should never take the option of boob jobs away especially for trans women or women post mastectomy 💗 but feeling like I made the decision to be okay with ME was huge. Love you Keltie. Support always.

Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing with us. I feel like the media just fucks up our self esteem so they can sell us more shit we don’t need. I love your personality and it always shines through! Best of luck with whatever you decide to do with you body.

I’ve had friends take them out and have been soooo much happier. It was not only affecting their health but their mental health. Best wishes!

It's very interesting to hear the sports and fitness ramifications of plastic surgery - something I don't think we hear enough about. It's great that you're just making this info available - I wouldn't have thought about the consequences of how breast implants could impact my activities but as a runner, those side effects sound brutal and would really have a negative impact on my day to day life. Thanks Keltie!

It's funny because I think we want what we don't have. I had 34 DD-DDD and am very athletic and HATED IT. I managed to get covered for breast reduction surgery in Canada and went to a 34a/b! I am so freaking happy and so much more confident and from an athletic standpoint, it's so much easier to run and perform. I always felt stared at and vulgar with my big boobs.

Thanks for opening up about it. It’s helped immensely that people are now open about discussing their plastic surgery these days. All the fitness influencers with big boobs and super low body fat. As someone who is naturally lean, I always wondered what I was doing wrong that I had no boobs. Now that people are sharing about surgeries I actually feel much better knowing it’s just fake

Everyone makes mistakes… especially when their young. I don’t have boobs to speak of… that’s just how I am right now… I am not even an A cup… I wear sports bras or camisoles because underwire is painful… this must have been difficult to talk about… you are a beautiful person… and also… you are not a hypocrite… you learned something about yourself and changed your opinion… and with this video you may have saved someone from making the same mistake 😊❤️😊

Just wanted to share my personal experience with you in case it can help. I used to have no boobs at all and decided to get implants. Soon after I had them removed thinking I would go back to just my flat chest. I was surprised to see my chest left with saggy skin dropping down and I could not look at my boobs in the mirror for a year. After years of seeing your boobs perfectly placed and perky it can be hard to not see them that way. I have now gotten smaller implants and have learned to absolutely love them even though they sometimes mess up my outfits or can be uncomfortable during some exercises. Love your videos and wish you the best!

Thank you so much for posting this video. Just from the bottom of my heart. You expressed your feelings beautifully and explained your thoughts so well. Life can be so hard sometimes and it can be so difficult to pinpoint what you actually want. It takes guts to come out and admit that you feel like you made a mistake and have regrets. I so admire you for that ♥️

authenticity like this is truly needed more often on KZfaq

Thank you for this video. It a hard truth we need to hear when intrusive thoughts of body doubt, plastic surgery envy, & beauty compassion come into play.

I love how strong you are to come out about this experience.

Your bluntness and honesty are refreshing.

Thank you for being open and sharing your experience. Especially as an athlete how surgeries, both cosmetic or not, can impact our exercise/form. Which makes the frustration rise from not being able to preform how you're use to. I hope you're able to get the resolution you need/want and you're able to find someone in BC. Thank you for being you and real Keltie you've really helped me see the value in my own body and health and what true balance is with food and exercise. You're amazing and sending love from Toronto 💖

As a member of small boobs community 😁… once my daughter was born and I was breastfeeding, I pretty much realized I hated big boobs and reassured my younger self from years back that boobs are just boobs and I was so thankful that I didn’t end up getting a surgery… that said I am so happy for your videos and the body positivity you are spreading 🙏🙏🙏

I agree that asking yourself about why you want a breast augmentation is important to you. I have big hips and was born with tiny breasts. I kept hoping as I went through puberty that I would get breast and it never happened. When I was thirteen I knew that I wanted to get my breasts augmented. I finally had the time to get mine done and I was 53! I happen to be glad that I did my breasts and really enjoy having them. Thank you for opening up about your experience and being open with us.

I regretted mine the second I got mine, too. 15 years later I finally got them replaced with a smaller size and I'm so much happier. Start saving and just do it.

Such a tough realization to accept, but such a wise one. I’m so happy for you; this must have been difficult and the recovery and, once again, changes in your body and how your pecs “operate”, will take some time to get used to, but I guarantee your fans are here for you! I would be very interested to see the changes in your blood work and training. I hope you’re super proud of yourself and how you’ve grown and all that you’ve accomplished. I wish you all the best! (The struggle with seeing doctors and having what’s determined to be non-emergency surgery during Covid is real! Stay safe Keltie💕)

Thank you for opening up and having the courage to do so! I love your personality and your growth on youtube is inspiring. You‘re more than a fitness youtuber, you‘re so so much more and we‘re here for all of it! You‘ve been unhappy for a decade and the implant removal should be a priority, we want you to be happy and are here for YOU, no matter what content you‘ll create. We love you and hope you‘ll be able to get the surgery soon and start a happier life!

I'm in a very similar space that you were and this was such a great experience to learn about. You are a really strong and amazing woman . Love and more power to you ♥️

You are one of the few people I never skip ads on! Want to support you in any way possible!

I have small boobs and have always felt like I would be sexier if I got implants but I know that's for other people's viewing pleasure, not mine. Would I feel sexier and more confident, yes, maybe, but is the cost, the surgery, the recovery, the potential side effects, the change in my workouts, worth it? No, and that is what has stopped me. AND the realization that even if you "do it for yourself" are you really going to be truly happy feeling like the only way you can be happy with your body is if you surgically "enhance" it? My thought is no. I'm working on radical self acceptance and loving my body the way it is and it has really helped me stop focusing on it so much and just live. Editing to also say, thank you Keltie. Hearing someone talk about their dislike for their breast augmentation helps further solidify my decision to never get breast implants. It really is good to hear both sides of the conversation.

Body disphoria is real, it’s a big struggle either way and just comes down to self confidence. It’s a tough world out there and the decision is all yours, no need to please others, only make yourself happy first! Also your energy in this video is fantastic. Just getting real and down to earth with yourself.

I had implants for nearly 20 years. I had many unexplained health issues but after seeing numerous experts, I was diagnosed with lupus. I heard about BII and wondered if maybe that was it. I was also not in love with my implants so was willing to take the risk and remove them. Stopped taking my lupus meds on the day of surgery and never had to take them again. En bloc removal is the gold standard and I would not personally recommend a surgeon who doesn’t perform them regularly to perform an explant. It was an absolutely brutal recovery and I looked like a mastectomy patient but I was healthy. My surgeon only did explants - all day every day only explants. He also did a lot of explant revisions because previous surgeons had left the capsule in and the patients continued to have symptoms. I know you said you didn’t have any symptoms and that’s great for you and I am so happy you explanted but I wish you had at least featured stories of some women who HAD experienced BII - maybe even someone who had to explant twice to resolve their symptoms. It’s easy to blame BII for everything wrong but given how many doctors dismiss you and say implants are safe, it can make you feel like you’re on your own out there. I’m glad you told your story and I know you tried to make it balanced but it did feel a little skewed without a representation of some of the women who are so so sick with BII and for whom surgery is life changing. Also, the FDA has since added a second warning to implants for a whole new type of cancer. En bloc removal is generally curative in implant related cancers so that’s another reason to remove the capsule.

Love how u are so real, enjoy your own body and love your own body, embrace who u are!

I was one of those people asking. I am so sorry, I only asked because I have always wanted them. I am curious how people who have them feel. Thank you for making this video, you didn't owe it to anyone but it's really nice to hear this side of it. I'm sorry that it wasn't something you actually wanted and that you have regretted it. I appreciate your vulnerability.

I had TWO breast reductions when I was younger and it was the best decision ever!! He didn’t take enough out the first time because he didn’t think I’d be happy with what was left, but you could hardly tell he did anything so I got another one and I was SO pleased with the results! I was just sick of that being the only thing people saw when they looked at me. I’d rather be flat than have big boobs 😝

My mom got hers when she was young and actually got them redone recently and went down a cup size and feels more comfortable and loves them. It’s definitely pricey but she’s way happier. I know it’s not the same for everyone but her being more comfortable and happier is just something I wanted to let you know.

Changing your mind is human, making mistakes is human, thank you for showing more than just the glossy curated perfect side of things - you’re a great role model!

As always, thank you for your vulnerability, Keltie! I hope you’re able to remove them soon, and if there’s anything we can do to help, please don’t hesitate to let us know! We love you, and we’re here to support you 💕

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m from Calgary (hey girl hey) and I’m in my late thirties. I wanted all the surgery when I was in my twenties, but I feel like there is a mindset shift about looks in your thirties. You just feel more comfortable in your own skin I find.

My boobs literally grew overnight when I was 12 and honestly it changed my life. I was immediately sexualized, cat calls, etc. I couldn’t do the same activities ( they are large Ds) I used to do comfortably. Essentially my breasts forced me to grow up very quickly. When I got into running in my 20s I would spend $50~$60 on high quality sports bras, and wear two of them and still feel uncomfortable. After having kids and breastfeeding they got saggy and sad. All this to say, big boobs aren’t that great ladies. I hope to get a reduction one day, I’m so over the constant back and shoulder pain . Love yourself, make changes if you really need them (or your back needs them in my case).

Thank you for sharing! You’re so right about trends coming & going, constantly changing. For example I naturally have a big butt, I used to HATE it because at the time skinny little butts were “in” & people would constantly make comments about my butt from the time I was 12 till maybe 21. Like classmates, “friends”, children I babysat etc. but fast forward now I work at a dance studio & not a single child or co worker has made one comment about my “big” butt. It’s made me accept it finally, I think getting older has helped with that too.

This is 'brave'. This is real. This also answers 'that question' for me. Thank you for being honest and sharing the process. Simple videos are often best.

I feel very deep respect for you being this open and honest! Well done you! And I hope this will make other girls think twice about their motives for plastic surgery.

I feel like you have told my story. The pressure of body building and fitness modeling led me down the same path. I hide my body now and can’t wait to figure out how to remove them. I loved my body before getting an augmentation. Unfortunately I now have autoimmune issues because of them and hope that I can get through a surgery to have them removed.

I appreciate how genuine you are

This is EXACTLY how I felt! Same story. Had them 14 years, kept them hidden, felt like a phony, workouts weren’t as good, had inflammation among other issues, and didn’t realize it, finally had enough and had them taken out 3 years ago. Best decision ever!

I had mine for 17years. I had them removed and got a lift a year ago. Best decision ever. They look great!

I appreciate this video soooooo much!!! Thank you for sharing! I'm on the fence when it comes to surgery, but am reaching the age where I'm starting to consider it in my 30's, never bugged or was on my radar in my 20's. With or without surgery, learning to love ourselves as we are in the moment, is most important.

Please don’t let the thought of taking a break off youtube be a factor that’s holding you back. Do your thing, do what makes you happy and we will be even more happy to see you in any type of video, fitness or not, and seeing you feeling the best version of yourself! Be safe and stay healthy!

I really appreciate when people share these stories. It can be hard to admit our mistakes (even to ourselves), but I think it's important for others to hear. I will say, I used to hate so many things about my body when I was younger. I thought I was so unattractive and no guy would ever like me. The older I get, even though my looks have arguably gotten "worse" as I've started to age a bit, I have honestly felt more and more attractive because I started gaining confidence in myself. Not only that, I discovered that plenty of guys were attracted to me just the way I was - even *shocker* makeup-free! And believe me - that is so much more empowering than feeling like someone only likes you because of this fake stuff you've done to your body. The message that plastic surgery is "empowering" is a total lie in my books. Who you are and what you do are 1000% more important than your looks in any area of your life. I really encourage anyone considering surgery to think long and hard about the risks vs. rewards - especially if you are still in your twenties!

Thank you for being transparent Keltie!

Thank you for reminding me of how I actually feel about getting breast implants. More young women need to be reminded how they actually feel about such a huge surgery. Not how they feel about the ✨imaginary things✨ that could supposedly come from having perfect boobs.

Thanks for sharing! Plastic surgery isn't for everybody, nor does it solve all your life problems so do what makes you happiest Keltie!

This was very brave of you to share. Every industry has pressures but the fitness industry for women is next level. Completely agree it's expected for women to be lean and 'toned' but also to have boobs, the pressure is immense. Amazing of you to share your story and hopefully inspire women to really think if they're feeling pressure to go under the knife.

I just wanted to thank you for your openness and vulnerability. You are amazing and inspirational!

Can someone start a crowd funder for Keltie? This chat has saved me a ton of cash because I will definitely not get surgery now. I can't be the only one who is glad she got real with us about it.

I love the vulnerability ❤ sending lots of love

I'm thin, muscular, and flat chested and I wouldn't have it any other way! Thank you for being so open and honest with us ❤

I've had two and am glad to say that I did these for me. That's my nose and hairline (i.e. drive-in screen size forehead). As a little kid I didn't have these and somehow my nose almost tripled in size so I had that reduced (luckily, it was only loose cartilige so that was an easy procedure) and the hairline I reduced by having hair transplants. Now, when I look in the mirror, I see "my own" face and can happily look at pictures, even if they're bad, because they are me all the same. I can play with my hair now, not having to "have" bangs. It's been such a relief. I am also open about them and am glad to see youtubers like yourself also opening up about them because alterations have been villified and I get that from a biological point of view (thinkin you're merging a certain fenotype) but we don't villinize eye laser surgery and they're basically the same thing (altering your fenotype by making the other sex think you are "well sighted" while you are basically making an appointment for your unborn child at the optomotrist already). I hope the above does not "read" rude, it's a subject I like to discuss and to cramp many views in a short youtube message strips away the light heartedness. Plastic surgery is great, it can enhance ourselves just like we enhance or improve other aspects of us, mentally and physically, but being able to be open about it is imo a must. Good luck Keltie, I hope you get to make your reversal and you feel good about you again! 💚

Thank you for sharing this Keltie! I’ve never actually heard anyone talk about how their breast implants can get in the way or feel uncomfortable. That is so important to hear! I also think it’s so powerful that you were able to open up like this, and I really appreciate the transparency. I’m hopeful that as more and more people share like this online, we will all slowly learn to not compare our natural bodies to what we see on the internet so much. Loved your videos for years and especially the ones like this where you tell it like it is! 🤍

Thanks for opening up about this keltie. Very brave of you and you are making it ok to talk up with young girls thinking about this

Hi Keltie! Thank you so much for being so honest with us again. I know its taken a while for you to tell us, but I think you've realised it's because you haven't been able to admit it to yourself. It's so great to see you in a position to be able to talk with yourself honestly about this, and recognise your own feelings, which is more important than what you tell us. However, I think its wonderful you've felt comfortable enough with us to share as well! So thank you for allowing us to hear your thoughts and telling us about your experience. I know so many people who consider plastic surgery and they think it'll solve problems... It's nice to hear a person be honest about their experience. I don't think I could ever go under the knife, no matter what size I am because the thought of purposely cutting myself scares the hell out of me as well as makes me cry and I wouldn't be able to do it. I think you've been very brave to go through with the operation and to share your story with us today. Thank you again.

Thank you so much for opening up about this. I would like to say, despite you being a 'fitness' channel, if you were to document your removal journey, I would 100% watch that.

I have contemplated boobs and had a consultation scheduled but decided that I don't need them. My husband loves my body as is. I love my body and have worked hard to be physically fit. I've seen so many people get them out the last few years. Thank you for being so honest.

Appreciate your honesty and candidness!!! Would love more videos on these topics (social media, plastic surgery, body image, ETC)

so happy you felt comfortable putting this out! being so real about it makes me feel better about my thoughts on doing it to myself

Holy moly this resonates so deeply. I had the same what did I do feeling right off the bat too and was never proud or deeply excited about them either. Also the physical aspect, not being able to do pullups and pushups. People always raised an eyebrow at me when I said I want them out so I can workout like I used to, but it's the truth. I took mine out july this year and have not regretted it for a second. I debated getting smaller implants but was just too worried I may not like those too. And fortunately they perked up and look essentially the same as before, thankfully. Also good news, the recovery is IMMENSELY easier than getting them in. Two weeks and I was cleared for normal activity back to doing most any movements I wanted to do. And now I'm back to my pre-implants activity and strength, no residual discomfort with any movements. All this to say, I hear you and I appreciate hearing your story too because it is so close so mine and so few people open up about that feeling of regret. It made me feel ashamed to admit I made a mistake and knowing others have felt it too makes me feel proud that I acknowledged that and made the change I needed to. I am so excited for you and hope your future surgery goes as smooth as mine and you can get back to pullups and laying on your stomach too!!! ♥️♥️

Oh man I so feel you on the athletic impacts; I've had large boobs since...age 13? Like a C-D cup for almost 30 years now (I'm 41). They SO get in the way and cause pain (RIP my upper back) and I often wonder how much faster I could swim and run, etc, if I got them reduced. But also, I've seen people recover from reduction and...not sure I want to do that either. Anyway, I guess it just goes to show - whatever you want, somebody who has that probably wants to offload it. Too bad I couldn't have donated my boobs to you 10 years ago.

Feels so good to have them out! Get it done.

I had the same experience as you, but I did have many BII symptoms. I only had my implants in for 3 years prior to explant and could not be happier to be back to nature. There is something beautiful that occurs when you have them removed, forgive your younger self and finally show love to the healthy body that remains. It is almost a spiritually healing. :) I saw a Pinterest post about a month after my initial surgery that said "you don't need bigger boobs, you need to read better books" and that really stuck with me. Sending good energy your way!

I had Implants for 22 year age 32 to 54. I was athletic lean and felt the need when I was young and competed in fitness in my late 30’s. I had them removed at 54 and have never looked back. I’m so happy healthy and comfortable in my body now.

Thank's for being so open. A lot of very young women decide to quick, so good that you mention to take a longer view at it. Love your channel

I remember a few years ago looking to see if you had a video about your breast implants because I was really interested in your thoughts and feelings about it. I'm so glad you made this video! It's such great insight and advice.

Thank you for opening up, I really appreciate you being so honest and forthcoming about your journey

I love love love your honesty. Thank you for opening up, your journey is inspiring!

I love that you opened up about your experience. I think it’s important for all of us, specially young girls that get so much information and are influenced by social media. In my case, I always wanted to get breast implants and after putting so much thought on it I got them earlier this year and was just the best thing for me, now I have so much confidence and feel so much better in my body and my clothes.

I love that you are sharing your experience like this. I think that you will help many that feel like they need them to have the "perfect body". Honestly, being a Pilates instructor and being a fitness person- I hate the unrealistic expectation that women should be ripped with very low bodyfat and have large boobs. Not me! I'm petite, high muscle, big butt, small boobs. I'm totally fine with that and honestly hate that people suggest a boob job. People have been telling me that since I was young and I completely rejected the message. I have noticed that when someone in my circle gets one, others consider it. "She did it...should I?" Now- if you having them influences other people to want them- I in no way think that you are to blame. I just think that the more prevalent that image is- the more it will be perpetuated. I think that you are beautiful and would be just as beautiful whatever your breast size. I've nursed babies for 6 years of my life and I appreciate my breasts! They look how they look. I keep them lifted with exercises and don't feel like I need to ask any more of them but to be healthy and natural. To speak to trend for a minute....remember in the 90s when people were plucking all of their eye brows out of their heads and drawing them on with a pencil? I never did- I have thick full eyebrows that are significantly darker than my hair. Now apparently women paint on their eye brows! I didn't even know that was a thing. People in adulthood ask me what eye brow products I use because my brows look full and natural. Nothing. I just never plucked my eyebrows and they continue to be full. People used to give me crap about my bushy eye brows and now apparently people want them. It's pretty stupid actually. My point is this- if you follow trends you will just need to constantly keep adjusting. Or you could just accept your own appearance and seek to look like what you like. Whatever you choose to do in the future- you are so deserving of respect and support! You are awesome and successful- and boobs had nothing to do with it! However- I think that documentation of implant removal sounds fascinating. Seriously I am so curious about what that process would be like and if it actually improved health. Yes to this conversation. Yes, yes yes. This is the most that I have commented on youtube....ever.

Thank you for being so transparent ❤

I think it would make for an interesting series, having your implants removed and how do you recover from that, how do you get back into excercise etc. Others are probably going through the same regrets and wonder how life is after removal.

Really appreciate your honesty around this. if money is the only thing stopping you, you should def save up and get them removed. Excited to follow your journey
