A question was asked regarding explant funding. Medical insurance does not properly account for how breast implants make people sick. People are having to turn to crowdfunding sites like GoFundMe to make their explant a possibility. I read a great article here that I think is inspiring, in reaching out for help - if needed. No shame in asking others to help you feel better, if they are able to. medtruth.com/articles/patient...

My chest is almost flat at 20 years old. “Friends” have always pointed it out to me and I’ve always been hyper-aware of it. I’ve never thought of getting implants, but these videos have still healed part of me that has felt disconnected from my femininity and self-love in general due to my flat chest. I could listen to you talk all day and I can’t wait for future videos from you that will allow me to connect. Sending love.

As a lover of women, I can tell you I love all chest sizes. Almost every guy I talk with about women agrees. Love yourself as you are, your body will go through many natural changes over the course of your life. I just turned 49 and am developing all kinds of moles that at first I didn't like. Now I just try to "read" the new braille alphabet I wear everyday =)

I would also recommend a new crowd, a true tribe. Those are not your friends for making you feel this way. They are likely trying to compensate for some inadequate feelings they have personally onto you. A bigger bust isn’t necessarily more feminine. There are so many ways to be feminine and we all posses different qualities be it physical or behavior. Also, waist to hip ratio is feminine, glowing skin, thick hair, strong legs, thicker thighs even and the list goes on. Our society has a very narrow minded view on what body parts are worthy of recognition. No one possesses all of these qualities but we all have beauty that makes us unique. And there’s more to life, beauty, and femininity than a bigger bust. Soul that radiates outward is most attractive. 😚 the hidden unspoken truth is that us humans value true compassion, kindness and connection. The looks, the degree, status really isn’t what make our souls light up. It’s morals, values, and kindness. Those friends have not kind to you. I wish you all the very best on your healing journey from this experience ✨ Most people are good at the core so maybe open up to them about this topic and see what happens. If they are not emotionally mature to change their minds and stop I would definitely look for healthier relationships.

I'm a Stage 4 Breast Cancer Survivor. I'm so Blessed to Be Alive and I'm so so Thankful. My breasts are long gone....Probably still setting in a jar in a lab. I have looked really abnormal for or over 26 years...people have given me the stares and the hateful comments ...but I'm so glad to be alive. My Oncologist said that I was not a good candidate for implants because of the type of cancer I had....I would have not even risked it plus I never wanted them.

I’m 20 years old now. You were someone I watched on Instagram when I was a freshman in high school and I wanted to look just like you. I criticized myself and put myself down for not having a body like you. I had a folder in my phone of examples of bodies I wanted to one day look like, and you were one of them. I never would have even guessed you had implants tbh but I wanted to get them to look like yours. A couple years ago I started healing my self hatred and I’ve moved past that part of my life, but this popped up on my timeline today and made me happy. Like a full circle moment. I feel we’re all healing together ❤️❤️❤️

You are what my generation calls an “old soul”. You are so wise beyond your years, and you can teach women of my generation (I’m 55) so much. I never thought you needed implants because honestly I thought the ones you had looked too big for your frame. However, I’m glad you chose to remove them for all the reasons you did. I’m still learning at my age to accept myself as I am and not worry about other people’s opinions of me. We, as women, SHOULD love ourselves as we were created and not how society wants to see us. I appreciate your posts so much, but I confess I miss your food posts. 😊. God bless you, young lady. You are a blessing to women everywhere. 🙏🏻💕❤️

Well, old souls start showing it conscious in very young age. They are one that never would make choice to modify their body for the sake of physical acceptance. Probably she gained wisdom due fear of facing a illness or disability.

A lot of times insurance will cover the procedure, I even have the insurance codes that your doctor can submit but you have to have a history of breast pain, or a history of hell having breast implants has impeded your life in some way or many ways My doctor is getting me approved right now, he's very optimistic If you really want them out, start talking to your doctor about the problems they're causing and how it's affecting your day-to-day life.

This feels so optimistic for the future of the perception of the female body. Constantly being critiqued rather than honored, conditioned through the lenses of the physical. I am eager to take part in this movement of pride and acceptance in our bodies as a beautiful vessel for us to navigate this world. Thank you for putting this perspective out there, this is part of the counter movement against the immense pressure we have felt our whole lives to care about how we look, when that doesn’t hold a candle to what we are

I think your journey is a perfect and beautiful example of what society as a whole is going through: Modifying our bodies was such a tabu 🚫 and frowned upon and in the beginning something for the rich and famous or porn stars. But then it became more available to everyone and suddenly we had to confront the underlying issue: Our own body image. But instead we made it about „empowerment“ and told ourselves and others that we „could and should do whatever makes us happy“… and while that is true and I don’t judge anyone who had cosmetic/plastic surgery - it took another decade or two before we are now confident enough to accept and love the bodies we have. And that’s the place from where we should start the conversation of wether or not a procedure is needed. Thank you for sharing your story!!! I always wanted to get „bigger boobs“ and a „smaller nose“ and in my late 20s I gained more and more gratitude towards my body and inner peace with myself. And now at 31 I am so glad I never went through with it. 🙏🏻

As a 52 year old woman who's suffered from body dismorphia since about 13 (because of my large breasts) and has spent the last 4 decades starving myself down to 94 pounds (my current weight) to diminish them completely...I resonate with this so strongly! We are not our breasts!! Any way you manage to feel comfortable and beautiful, or even just not like a walking , talking victim...just do you, Queens!!❤❤❤✌❤❤❤

After nursing 2 children for a year each, my body transformed tremendously. It was the most beautiful experience, but I have dealt with a lot of insecurities since. This was really refreshing to see. I needed to hear this. When you were talking about being able to take a deep breath again, I took one and felt so grateful. Little things we don’t appreciate. After having lasik eye surgery, I could no longer see things up close. Didn’t really think about it until I was no longer able to see what I could before. The feeling of regret is a heavy one. Thank you for your honesty. God bless 💜

I’m a mother of four now (all girls) and I worry about the message I would be sending to my daughters. Although I have the money for the surgery and at one point had the money as a 19 year old, I could not get myself to make that step then and I still can’t today. I agree with you 100% regarding our society today, the toxicity and what we’re really here for. Your message reminds me to not be influenced by the normal toxicity of our culture, and to stay rooted and proud to be here and healthy. All the best!

Subscribed for the food content and never thought I’d watch a vid on breast implants. Having two teenage daughters, I see first hand how susceptible young adults (especially females) are to needing to comply to what society promotes as desirable. Embracing imperfection is very healthy - in others and oneself. Really cool that you speak so honestly and passionately. Peace, best wishes and good health 👍🏻

Sophia, I just couldn't keep my eyes and emotions from your video. I never had breast implants nor I wanted to get them. BUT I have such an unhealthy relationship with my body. I have very severe scoliosis which affects literally all my body and my mental health. Without going into details, I want to thank you for sharing this as I had to pause several times through the video to just take a breath into my body, to admit to myself that it's Ok to accept my body as it is - even in such conditions and continuing to love it and appreciate it. Honestly, when I saw that the video would be 40 min long I was like, I will probably get bored because it's not something I was going through but I was very wrong. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here in KZfaq and openly sharing such an intimate journey of yours. It really helps a lot of lost people.

I’m 30 and still insecure about myself sometimes, mostly of the many stretch marks I have from growth spurs to hitting the gym and growing my thighs and butt too fast to now having to deal with stretch marks in areas I didn’t know could get them. But I truly appreciated when you said you were the happiest when your hair was a mess, making people laugh, and just having experiences with the people you love and the worst were when you were by yourself checking every flaw out in the mirror. I really related to that because truly when we’re alone we seem to hyper fixate on our flaws when we should be gentle with ourselves and recharging our vessels ✨💖💖

I love how you so openly and honestly discuss so many topics regarding getting breast implants, removing them etc. The fact that you also discuss the psychological effects is great. So many people don't discuss this. I got mine done after losing a lot of weight and I really thought it would be SO life changing. I would finally accept myself and be happy with my body. A couple of months after surgery I developed a severe eating disorder. I had intensive therapy and treatment for 2 years and right now I eat what I want and I don't actually look at my body much. My goal is to one day feel so good about myself that ill be able to remove my implants. It would feel like a step into becoming myself again. Thank you for your inspiration and beautiful words.

This was a beautiful video and one of the nicest long talks I’ve heard on KZfaq lately. I’m a very flat-chested woman. Despite years of insecurity about it, I have always felt it’s most important to accept myself as I am, and to make my health the priority. I watched a documentary on breast implant surgery & recovery years ago, which convinced me to never go there! Nice to see you’re owning your natural beauty!❤️

I love your beauty as your light of appreciation for your journey makes you radiant. I had mine removed 4 months ago. I’m 48 and thought that after pregnancy, breast feeding I became very insecure about my body during a divorce. This is what motivated me to get them. It took me 4 years to figure out that my sporadic bad health was related to my implants. It wasn’t until 2 years ago when I really started feeling awful. The shortness of breath, heart palpitations and tightness in my chest that pushed me to have them removed. Five visits to the ER was all meaningless with doctors telling me I have anxiety. Unreal how these doctors think they know better than I do about my body. I’ve spent my entire life living a healthy athletic life. No vices or other health issues…I knew I had to get them out.I love my scars too. I had an enbloc too! I have an amazing doctor in Baltimore, MD I am implant and symptom free as 4 months post op. The only thing that I still feel a bit is slight burning in my elbows. No more inflammation, I can eat normally, sleep peacefully and run 3-5 miles no problem. I got my life back!

Late teens, early adulthood, my stupid and immature Bfs all literally destroyed my self confidence through criticizing stupid small details about my physical appearance. I now know that I am in my 40s that I was absolutely perfect the way I was. Sadly the culture or our education or whatever it is made us extra stupid and cruel among each others. Instead of celebrating LIFE, we were critical all of the times, litterally ALL of it. Where did this toxicity come from, I don't know but it came from something very dark I believe. I am glad you found your balance. You were always so beautiful and still are !

This has really touched me at a perfect time in my life that I really needed it to. I have never heard of you before coming across this video it was entirely meant to be. You think very much like me and it can sometimes feel lonely in thinking this way considering much of the world is still wandering just searching for true joy and peace in all the wrong things. I am sorry that you have had to hear these painful comments from people in your life. I can relate. I am so glad you have used them to your advantage and are helping so many others do the same. This was truly amazing. Thank you 💙

wow so glad to see a model speaking about this. Literally love that! I've always been so insecure and social media makes it way worst, not because of the girls i see and compare myself to, but becuz of how much we see posing and people trying so hard to look good. It becomes a norm to work hard for your appearance, therefor giving external looks much more importance than they actually have. I have been fighting against the will to just get work done to fix my insecurities, because i don't want to become a person that cares that much about my looks that i have to spend time, money and energy on changing my looks. I believe there is a bigger picture, and we need to thrive for inner quality. People pose, wear makeup, basically do everything to make themselves look like this "ideal" of the person they wanna be, but why cant we just be unique in the body we have, OWN it and tell society to fuck off with their beauty ideals. Big or small boobs, ass, waist....whatever it is, it's you and no one can tell u it's not beautiful

Thank you for sharing your insight, your spirituality shines through and you are a beacon of light. I kept wishing we could be friends, we share a lot of like-minded ideas. Haven’t met someone quite like me, like you, yet. Thank you for resetting me on my journey, even if it has nothing to do with breast implants. Self-love and self-healing IS that deep. It has to do with everything. Thank you, you are a beautiful soul 💖

I’m very proud of you and thankful that people like you are amongst us. We all should do truly feel comfortable in our own bodies. Good for you ❤️ I am getting my breast augmentation soon and I like to watch videos around different POV’s. It’s very important to do your due diligence on all and any surgery you decide to receive. One can be their higher self, be close with nature and be who they truly are on the spiritual level with or without surgery. We must remember that we are only flesh and bones at the end of the day with soul and what you decide to do with your present body is only for the exterior and you must do the interior work. ❤️

Thank you for this video, I was considering breast augmentation for after I’ve decided not to have any more children and finished breastfeeding but definitely won’t be going that route now. I don’t blame you at all, if I’d had the money when I was in my early 20s I probably would have done all types of things to my body. These videos are so important to teach other young people the negative side effects and that many people regret breast implants and other cosmetic surgeries.
