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

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

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

    @fallwhispers07 Před rokem +207

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

    Hi Alana, to be honest.. one of the reasons I started watching your videos is because I have a lot of insecurities and have considered plastic surgery but I’ve always been too afraid. I would watch some of your videos and think that maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if I also went through with it. But I never have. Watching this video was been very interesting. As a religious person myself, I think I have to try harder to come to love my body the way it is.

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

    Although I know you said you don’t have BII, I’ve seen many of your videos with you having health problems, fatigue, tmj, anxiety, breast pain so on so fourth, I truly hope these things are reduced for you as a result of explant when your body finds its natural state again. My 25+ chronic symptoms disappeared within 6 months of explant 💛

    Thank you for talking about this. We should never do surgery for non-medical reasons, but we are all so disconnected from our bodies and ruled by our minds (instead of lead by our hearts) that we don’t see how hurtful and disrespectful it is to the most sacred thing we have.
    Let the scars be a symbol for your journey and the things you learned from it❣️we love you.

      but remember too that she is showing mere snippets of her life. It may seem radical to you but it has taken a long time to get to where she is. It seems like her path now definitely is healthier and she seems like she has a peace in her life she didnt have before.

    Im SO SO SO glad someone in the public eye is finally saying what a big deal surgery is!!!!!!! Going under anaesthesia, being cut open, having a foreign body in you, being on antibiotics are such a big deal and so traumatic, after having health issues i refuse to put my body under that for what society thinks i should look like to be value.
    Im so happy for you and proud Alana, your transformation is so inspiring, and dont worry, according to my friends the scar fades quite a bit and they couldnt believe how similar their breasts looked to the before, just give it time and rest. Much love and light.

    Alana, recover well and then live your life and be careful because there are always people who will say that they help you but it is the opposite, only your parents and siblings (the family) are the ones that will really help you, a hug.

    Such a beautiful video Alana, thank you for telling your story. You are so inspiring for choosing yourself, and your health. I think this is so important to spread more awareness to the dangers of breast implants. To everyone considering it, being at least fully informed about everything. You helped a lot with that. At least for me

  • @PiranhasAndPandas
    @PiranhasAndPandas Před rokem +25

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

  • @CookieFridays
    @CookieFridays Před rokem +4

    Oh I’m really sorry that you dealt with that Alanna, you’re the second person I follow that has had to have them taken out. It’s unfortunate but your maturity and growth is really amazing. I wish more people thought like you do now, which is understanding that our bodies don’t make us valuable or not valuable. And we don’t have to go to extremes and get surgery to change. And that’s a kind of controversial opinion and I do follow many people who have had work done so it’s like “whatever”, but there is still always a kind of sad feeling when someone announces they’re getting work done because it’s a bit sad to know someone is insecure about their appearance. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

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

  • @unelson
    @unelson Před 6 měsíci

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

    For anyone who does have scars, your body is beautiful. They do not define you. Any surgery you had, be it elective or life dependent, you’re beautiful. You are SO MUCH MORE than the skin that envelops you! ‘Blemishes’ or not, ‘imperfections’ and all, you are so much more!🩵

    the whole new 180 shift so suddenly and her “approach” to god sounds very cult-y, and idk about her new bf but seems like he’s someone from that group and that is pushing more of this on her and shes changing even more for him, and this can happen so easily seeing that she was lost and needed something new to cling on to. I understand that this is maybe a part of her life that she has to go through as a drastic change from her past way of living that didn’t make her happy so she found this completely different way and is changing absolutely everything about her life and personality in such a short time as a reaction and thinking that she is “saved” and that she finally found something…good for her if she did…but i think she’ll get back out of this, or at least of the intensity shes going about it now, in a few years, i just hope it doesn’t do much damage in the coming stages to come…

  • @allyparker5127
    @allyparker5127 Před rokem +3

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

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

This video made me cry, just like the last few has done 🥹 but tears of joy of seeing your beautiful soul being saved ❤
