So incredible to witness your growth Alana. I’ve watched you for years and your new commitment to Christ is my favorite version of you yet ❤ keep pushing girly. You’re influencing more lives than you think, and don’t forget that there’s a whole army behind you.🙏🏻🫶🏻
@Leandro Aude implying people above 30 need it. What is wrong with you? Nobody "needs" cosmetic surgery at all. (only people that have been in freak accidents etc, in which case it's reconstructive surgery). Fix your mind.
This is an exceedingly gorgeous girl, I could never understand. But, we have to make our own mistakes in life sometimes. I’d have gone right out at 18 and done it too if I had the money.
@@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 🙄
Has she become mormom or something? It is a good thing to accept a natural body, but this is slightly suspicious compared to how vain this girl was before. She was in pain before but she was keeping that facade of "perfection".
I respect this video immensely. We need more influencers and people with large platforms being honest with the full scope of risks and complications of all these procedures. Also let’s not overlook the spiritual ramifications of these procedures and emotional fatigue endured.
Finally someone who looks back and understands that being 20 is still being a child. You did a great thing sharing this. Most people who go through this don't talk about it.
Sweet young woman ……. She made mistakes and learned a valuable lesson and then shared it with the rest of the world… I give you so much credit and respect
I have so much respect for you. I am so terribly sorry you are going through this. Society puts so much pressure on us girls. We are the only ones who can stand up and say no. I admire your authenticity and transparency. Thank you for having the courage to share your story.
I know! I noticed that too, the most pure and genuine smile and before she was making videos about putting botoxx in her gums bc of overanalysing her beautiful smile! So happy for her
Alana hi 👋🏽 grateful to hear your perspective. It resembles so much of mine. I removed my implants 4 years ago and have slowly healed my body again. I’ve never regretted it once. Thank you for using your voice
I don't usually make comments and never hate comments but this pisses me off a little bit. I watch Alanas videos since that timeline so many years have passed by and I remember her making these implant theme videos all the time explaining with every detail how much her decision has made her happy and how easy it was and everything else I remember everything. Besides that every couple months I see a different person it's like she can't decide what personality to have. Watching her so many years liking her but her not being able to maintain a perspective for things maintain a personality and other stuff it's like she is just all over the place and it's making me tired as a viewer as much as confused on what to believe from her. I believe that in a year she will again completely maintain other beliefs and opinions I can't keep up with so many changes. I'm so sorry not tryna hate
I understand what you mean but it’s so normal to develop and change in these ways in your 20s to find your true self. Not everyone changes as much, but some do. ❤
I have been watching her for years as well and noticed the same. As for the breast implants it was always a mistake in my eyes, she already had a big size and she added big implants as well which clearly not a good idea.
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...
Would I have more surgery going forward? No. Would I get my nose done now if I hadn't already? No. Why did I have my implants removed? Pain. Why wouldn't I get my nose or anything else done now or in the future? My looks are not my priority anymore. I was made for a greater purpose, as we all were.
@@Alana.Arbuccithank you so much for this reply. I was searching for this answer and you truly are inspirational. I was considering getting my nose done when I watched your past videos but you’ve changed my views now. Thanks so much. God bless you. Can you please make a video on this topic elaborately? About higher purpose and not giving importance to our looks? Pls also talk about makeup. This is genuinely helpful
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. Because you’re exactly right, our appearances don’t really matter as much as society makes us believe. Thank you for always being so transparent with us in every stage of your life ❤️
My heart is breaking for you. Your body was beautiful then and it’s beautiful now, even with scars. 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.
It's a shame that society teaches girls that they're gonna be shunned or ignored if they don't have large breasts. I'm glad that some don't care or don't believe that. I wish everyone could just be themselves and not be influenced by their surroundings. I can't say that I wouldn't have something done if it was easy, cheap and painless. But it's always hard, expensive and horrendously invasive.😢
So happy people are talking about this. Thank you for your vulnerability and for showing your healthy relationship with your boyfriend on the beginning, leaning on him for comfort and in times of stress- we don’t see moments like this online- it’s so beautiful & healthy. Also- I’m sending this to my little sister who had them done at 19/20. You’re going to help so many girls. 🥺
Children shouldn't be making permanent decisions about their body that they will most likely regret. I'm so sorry for you hun... As a 30yr old woman, I feel the same. I wish I had accepted my body as beautiful when I was younger. This is such an important message to be spreading to both young men and women. Please know that you are equally as beautiful now, just wiser... Life will teach you things in ways you don't understand at the moment, but will eventually one day.
@@recluseren legally she was an adult, but clearly she still wasn't old enough to make such a large decision. You grow so much, you change so much... Don't make a permanent decision you may regret.
@@recluseren the brain is not fully developed until 25 if I remember correctly. Just because your a adult by law does not mean you make the best conscious decisions. We are human and make mistakes but trends these days and all the social media is really influencing the youth and young adults.
I feel the same as you girl. Im also in my 30’s and I wish I could have been kinder to myself and to my better and simply been able to realize how perfect it was. Instead, I lost wayyyy to much time, energy and money trying to turn it into smth it was not, and just picking myself apart. Now, my skin is not the same, my breasts are the same, my thighs... and still I feel more beautiful than ever, bc I simply started appreciating what I had, instead of wishing what I didnt have. And dont get me wrong, it took me a lot of time and eventually deleting social media from my life in order to get here. Deleting instagram which was the root cause of a lot of my self image issues was KEY. I would desperately want toget a nosejob, a bbl, lip fillers, etc after scrolling for a while. All these thoughts are gone now.
girl… i’m definitely not religious at all, but i’m happy you have found the thing that has opened your eyes to true connection, love, and acceptance. you really are glowing!
Right. I'm probably the only *non-believer* in this comment section, but I'm glad she's doing *better physically and emotionally and is finding some sort of peace.* That's true growth ;-)
I'm down to watch you go through this god arch girl. I'm older and went through lots of different belief systems before getting to the point where I realized that the specific beliefs people hold and find meaning in are all the same thing. I totally support you on your journey and am happy and open to hear you speak on your beliefs and feelings. I'm glad you've found something that resonates with you :)
I’m so proud of you! I don’t know why, but last year I was watching one of your videos and I had this thought “I have a big feeling that she’s gonna become a Christian soon.” God has had His hand over you this whole time ❤ keep pushing
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.
I remember when you got them put in because I remember you stating we were the same height, weight and breast size. So when you got them put in I have to be honest- I asked myself if I should go do it as well. But somehow I knew it wasn't something permanent for you (it was more of a trend). I realized you were someone truly valuable just as you were put on this earth, and I'm glad the day has come were you realized that too. ❤
i’m so glad you trusted yourself and listened to your body 💕i’ve learned a lot recently about all the crazy side effects of implants and it’s so sad seeing all of us women feel the need to harm our bodies for the beauty standard 😩 happy you’re not in pain anymore!!!
Honestly I love you ❤ I’ve never felt more connected to you than I do now and I’m so happy for you, your new approach in life and your connection with God. God bless you Alana ❤
I’m SO glad you aren’t in pain anymore!! Also, I can’t wait to hear your testimony! Proverbs 31:25 “She is clothed with strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future.”
proud of you for putting your health and well being first 💕 at the end of the day it’s not about what we look like but about. ring the happiest healthiest version of ourselves we can be
Having my implants taken out gave me my life & confidence back 🎉 so happy for you. 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 💛
I neeeever imagined that I would be so spiritually uplifted by you and your content. Now I’ve got major tears in my eyes as I watch so much light and truth come from you. I’m so happy for you
I am speechless. What an utter joy it has been to see your transformation over the past several months. When I hear you speak about God or your faith, it makes me so emotional. I love it and I'm SO happy for you and just know you have so many of us that are right there with you. You're not alone in this❤
Don’t beat yourself up for decisions made as a child. We all look back on our past with some regrets. It’s part of growing up. I’m more bothered by surgeons trying to influence young people into life altering decisions to make a profit. I’m honored to witness your spiritual journey and I’m certain beautiful things are in your future. Bless you Dear Alana.
Wow breast implants sound terrifying now that you explained the explant surgery. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone talk so openly about the realities of that surgery that has become so normalized. It was very eye opening and I’m sorry that you had to go through that, I wish you good health 💞
From the start of the video I can’t tell you how proud I am as a viewer because I’ve following your journey since you had your initial surgery that you started things off with a prayer 🙏 you are made in God’s image and you are a co-heir of Heaven with Jesus Christ, that’s what makes you the powerful child of God that you are ❤I am so happy to see you in this journey and using your platform and the knowledge that God has given you to touch others. This video made me cry, just like the last few has done 🥹 but tears of joy of seeing your beautiful soul being saved ❤
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.
I have been watching you since like 2016 I think. I have always admired how strong and independent you are. You had everything planned out to the T. You were so head strong and knew exactly what you wanted. You always got what you wanted too. It’s been good seeing you handle everything life has thrown at you with grace. I have also recently started my walk with Christ (again). I have to say my favorite book is Ecclesiastes. If you haven’t studied that book I would highly recommend it. It pretty much talks about how King Solomon knew who God was, proceeded to live for the flesh and worldly things, realized how happy he was even though he had everything and repented. It’s a nice letter warning us that living for the flesh will not bring us true happiness.
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.
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.
Alana, PLEASE be careful. Ur treading a slippery slope. All I will say, is that I grew up in a Christian church, conservative, etc. over time I started to realize that people like to use God to weaponize people and their choices, they like to use the Bible to manipulate and get what they want from people, even if other peoples choices don’t affect them personally, they still like to control. Those types of people are the ones who like to preach about it nonstop but also acting like they never make mistakes or never sin themselves. The people that I know, that truly have God in them, are not judgmental. They are accepting and loving of EVERYONE. gay, transgender, etc. because only God can judge someone. Each person has their own choices and their own life and their own journey with God and only God can judge that person. It is not our job as people to change other people. Our job is to love people in the condition they are in, and making them feel good enough and accepting their life choices (except for when it is physically harming someone else). And I hope your boyfriend isn’t an extremist in the religious aspect because that’s when it can get super tricky. Ugh. I hope this gets through to you❤️
Please don’t ever become the person who thinks they are better than someone else because they know the word of God or make choices that you wouldn’t make personally. We don’t need any more of that in this time of our lives. We just need unconditional love and acceptance to people
I cried watching this! Thank you for being so vulnerable. Thank you Jesus for bringing Alana peace about this situation 🙏 So grateful to spend eternity with you sister in Christ! ❤
Just when I thought I couldn’t find you more relatable, you speak about Christ in a beautiful way! I am so happy for you and your relationship with God. And I’m glad you’re at peace with your decision 🫶❤️
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!🩵
Alana we are LOVING the “new you”, I’ve been a follower for years and I’ve actually prayed for you before but even tho you may have influenced people in this decision, you can now use your influence to lead people to Jesus❤️ I am beyond happy for you and your salvation
HalleluYah! It's so beautiful to see God being glorified through you and your platform. I'm so happy for you, Alana 🤍 And also so happy to be able to call you my sister in Christ. Keep showing the world how wonderful He is 🙌🏼
Her being so religious looks like an another obsession (( like plastic surgery, injections , boyfriend. There’s nothing wrong in religion, but you don’t have to start a video with a prayer, then another prayer, then reciting Bible…. just have faith and do good, that’s enough, but this looks scary((((
It is actually not enough or possible. Psalm 14:3 They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is **none** who does good, not even one. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 10:9 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and **believe** in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
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.
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.
I’m an agnostic leaning more atheist, but I relate to your life values now more than ever before somehow. I’ve followed you for years and I’ve always liked you for being raw and honest about your perspectives. Even when you were in more shallow material phases of your life, you expressed what you were going through and always lent insight into your thought processes, and I could see and relate to your logic, especially because of the culture we were in during those times and the pressure social media places on young women to look and perform a certain way. I almost started getting plastic surgery like 5 years ago too. Had an appointment for lip filler and under eye injections, but ended up falling on my lower back and getting a bad muscle contusion the night before the appointment and couldn’t get out of bed for 5 days straight. Which somehow led me to never getting anything done, thankfully. I just never made another appointment. If there perhaps is a god, he stepped in and was like “No bitch, we ain’t doin’ this shit to or bodies” *Proceeds to WWE pile drive my lower back into the outer tub wall to stop me from making the huge mistake of putting filler in my face. Lol. It’s cool to see you come out on the other side though. Your boobie scars sound badass to me because of the ideology they represent. The evolution of you. If I was looking at your scars irl, I’d probably perceive them as a hot alternative girl body mod. They’d be a turn on because your flesh has depth and an empowering story to tell. That shit is sensual af. 😂❤
Love you sis. Your story is powerful and your vulnerability in sharing your story will inevitably point someone who is lost to truth. Nothing better than that ❤️
This is such a powerful message, girl I’m a new follower and I want you to know that I am proud of you. I’m proud that you are realizing your light on this earth, your true light.
I can’t wait for your testimony video!! The transparency in this video and honesty is so amazing to see!! I have been praying for before you were saved and I will continue to do so!! Thank again for opening up!❤️
I’m so PROUD Of you! I grew up catholic but now I’m Christian. Always loved Jesus but took me until 30 to get baptized. So good for you for loving him and showing your audience what life with Christ can be like, so excited to continue to watch your journey. I also got implants at 21 had them now for 12 years and now starting to get pain. I needed this video, you are correct we where children we shouldn’t have been allowed to make those type of decisions honestly
Don’t blame yourself one bit for the decision you made or for influencing anyone. The world has tormented and blinded us so much. There’s a big revival happening right now. We’re starting to see the truth. I’m in the same place right now changing my life to live for God and feeling so much guilt and regret
Alana I can’t even begin to express how happy and joyful I am to hear you talk about your Christianity. The first minute of the video I could already tell how different you are. You carry yourself so different and I’m so honored to witness you grow and transform in your relationship with Christ! You were already one of my favorite RUclipsrs but now even more!! Can’t wait for your new content to come!
Awww Alana you have always been an inspiration! You have always been outwardly beautiful, but it is your incredible inner beauty that is the most captivating thing about you. I know you’ll overcome whatever may come your way, keep your head up angel ❤
I don’t think she changed her personality. Maybe she just got a different perspective in life and honestly it’s like a switch u just see things more clearly. We are no one to judge her :).
I love hearing a sister in Christ talk about my God . I cry every single time. I love how she said I'm getting off topic. No ur not sister . Your right on track. God bless u.
Alana...you made me cry😢..I feel for you and what you have gone thru..and I am so happy you are finally free! Your transformation is so evident..and what a role model you are becoming for this younger generation that we need more than anything! You are radiating such beauty and grace. Thank you for sharing your walk with Christ! Looking forward to seeing more of how Christ has touched each area of your life. ❤
So happy you found Christ and are feeling better, i’ve been watching you for years now, because I always loved your opinions on finances and relationships and of course some beauty things but I just want you to know that you are so intelligent and beautiful and having Christ in your life makes you shine from inside and out like I’ve never seen before. Stay strong in your foundation and God bless you and Tim.
I was wondering about the same thing, can you please talk about how is your rhinoplasty decisions/experiences different from your current topic of breast explant? Thank you 🙏🏼
I watched you for years. I’ve been on a journey with Jesus since 2016, fell off 2018, came back to Christ 2021 and my life has changed for the better. I’m so happy to see this video and to see you this way. I too am considering explant surgery due to pain and I can’t wait until that day. I’m afraid of how I’ll look but I know it won’t take away from my femininity because like you said I am a child of God ❤️ sending you so much love.
Wow Alana I’m not even done watching but I am so proud of how far you have came. I been watching you for a long time since before you got so big and I just absolutely loved how open and honest and amazing your content was. However it reached a point where everything started to be about your appearance and procedures and I was going through so much mentally with my anxiety and body dysmorphia it became so hard to keep watching. I got my nose done and breasts lifted a month before you got your nose done and I realized I was falling into a deep hole. None of this is your fault but I had to stop watching you completely and then randomly you came to my mind recently and i started watching you again and just feel like we’re on such a similar journey. I’m thankful for you as a content creator and how open you are with what you go through
I feel like you always do something change your mind after and so on... I personally doubt this will last... just be careful. I have a bad feeling about everything.
I get that its out if concern 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.
🙏🏽 Been along for your journey and growing parallel to you it seems. This message is incredibly important- now more than ever… sending you so much love & peace.💓🦋
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.
You have become by far my favorite person on the internet ever since you became Christian. It very rare seeing anyone that is Christian openly talk about God every time they speak and I love that you arent afraid of anyone but God. I’m honestly so proud of you and I pray that people are able to see Christ in me as much as I can see Christ in you. ❤
I’ve been a Christian all my life, since I was about 5 years old. I’m 32 years old now. Last year at 31, I found out that I carry the brca1 gene mutation, which puts my risk of getting breast cancer and ovarian cancer up to 80%. I made the decision that same year to have a preventative double mastectomy and have implants placed (I did not feel comfortable going flat, nor should I be forced to). I have 3 kids who I need to live a long life for and be healthy for. When I am 40, I will be removing my uterus and ovaries to eliminate the ovarian cancer risk. Yes my body was cut open and i have scars. My boobs don’t look the way God intended them to, but I am alive and I will (hopefully, God willing) never get breast cancer since my risk is now 5% or lower. I do deal with occasional pains, which are nerve pains from them being cut, but overall I feel fine. Your personal journey with Christ and having implants is your own. It’s good to share your testimony if it helps prevent young girls from doing something they will regret later, but some women don’t have a choice when it comes to surgeries. That’s nothing to be ashamed of.
I've been watching you for so many years now. And I'm so happy to see where you've come. As one of your Muslim followers I'm happy that you found peace in your relationship with God. I love you so much, truly.
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…
I’ve watched your videos for years. I see so much peace in your eyes compared to over the years. I can’t wait to hear your testimony. I can see how good has changed you so much already. Thank you for being so vulnerable. I admire your courage. I will always support you! 🫶🏼💕
I’m so glad you’re going through this journey now and realising all these things and growth. You’re really brave for being so vulnerable. Praying for your healing and happiness 💖
I love how you are being taken care of now. being loved and cared for is a blessing, even if "hustle culture" shames it. people should take care of each other and i'm so happy for you😊
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).
This is incredible, I’ve been watching you since the first surgery and to see you now in a beautiful relationship with God is the best I’ve seen you. Thank you Jesus!
Hey! I remember watching the video where you first got your implants done. I remember thinking what is she doing her chest was perfect naturally. I am happy you finally realized. Ive gone through similar experiences myself and was considering surgery at the time for myself as well. Cheers to growth and realization. ❤
Giiirrrrllllll I’m so happy you are pain free and in peace 😍 I Love this new person that you became ! I cant wait for you’re testimony ! I’m also a Christian. I was raised in Christianity.. and always believed in God but I didn’t had a relationship ( well not like now ) …. Now I understand what that means. Reading the Bibel … being in a real relationship with Christ, being in his word. Also …You are more beautiful then ever … you truly shine from within ‚ thank you for that message! ❤
This world is such a fallen place, perpetuating the idea that people need to look a certain way to be considered beautiful when in reality our every feature is handpicked by God himself. You’re so brave for sharing this experience, and thank you for doing so. You are so extremely beautiful and you are just blossoming into the most beautiful version of yourself through your walk in Christ. You are the big sissy in Christ that we all needed. Thank you💕 God is always with you and he won’t ever let you face anything you aren’t strong enough to handle, he will always be there to lean on.
“Where did I go so wrong? How could I get it so wrong?” Surgery is not wrong. It makes a lot of people feel confident and helps them. Your journey isn’t everyone else’s. I want you to remember that as you’re going through these drastic changes, again.
You just sound dumb . In her quote she is referring to herself . Did she say other ppl or did she say “I” , meaning HERSELF . You guys are so damn annoying and judgmental about her new journey instead of being happy for her for becoming happier . If you dont like it then just leave already , damn.
Exactly! Some people get breast implants at that age and end up loving them. They’re not for everyone but for some people, it is the right decision for them. Also, she’s had a lot of procedures done. I feel like she was super pro body modifications and now she’s swung completely the other way
Also why did she delete all her nose job content? That’s also quite strange. I liked her vids so much back then, I have no hatred towards her but pure confusion 🤷♀️
OMG !!!! IM 20 AND IM WORKING 2 JOBS TO GET MY BOOBS DONE AND I PRAYED TO GOD TO HELP ME DECIDE!! AND YOUR VIDEO WAS THE FIRST THING POPPED OUT ON YT !! NOT DOING IT ILL BUY ME A CAR INSTEAD! U R ANA ANGEL THANK YOU AND I LOVE U ❤
I'm not judging. You have found a relationship with God & thats great, you seem happy. I was an atheist for many years and then came back to God on my own, & i'm happier with him. But i'm not sure how much longer i'll be watching, because when someones whole existence becomes "about God", it can become very one-note. Not to exxagerate, but its like "we just missed that rainstorm, glory be to God, i'm so happy Christ helped me find these Eggbeaters on sale". In a way it can become another addiction, another fixation. And just personally - i'll meet God, God-willing, when i go to heaven. Thats enough for me. On earth, all he cares about is that i'm a good person and leave earth & the people i interact with better than i found them. God doesnt care when i eat meat or fish or what clothes i wear or who i aleep with, as long as in doing the things i do, i'm not hurtimg anyone else, and i'm trying to put good into the world & help others. So thats why i dont go to church, i dont pray everyday... those are those "good tjings" that can end up making people entitled to do less than their best - sometimes at least. Like "im a good person i pray nightly & go to church sumday for 3 hours!" Meanwhile theyre ripping off their employee & cheating on their wife. So i make my service to God be in my actions, the way i treat people and how i live my life. This is a new phase of your journey in life, & i wish you well! Im glad you see your true beauty now. Growing up as a girl its hard, its pounded into us that how we look is EVERYTHING. Sure, people wont say that out loud, but as a a female growing up, we get the message loud & clear-your beauty is a huge part of your value. Its hard. Lastly - again, i'm happy youre happy :) i'm just saying, dont lose YOU. People can get lost in religion just like they can drugs or money or consumerism or gambling. Anything that gives you pleasure or happiness can be overdone. I'm not saying dont be close to God, i have a relationship with him myself and am better for it. I'm just saying dont lose YOU 🩷 You are here on this earth once, we get one life, dont get too wrapped up in any one thing and miss the beauty thats all around you. God wants us to be good to eachother :::here on earth:: and LIVE, truly live, while we're alive. I'll still be checking in, its just a little heavy on the religious stuff for me right now. I wish you all the best! Its great seeing you happy :)
Tbh from the past video i said “wow she looks so healthy and happy and mature I’m so happy for her” but after this video i have noticed a lot of her videos are gone and her instagram is different ( which is to me is really understandable since she’s religious now ) but I’m worried if her content is going to change? Because I’m really not interested in seeing anything related to any religion and i feel like i lost one of my favourite RUclipsrs :’) But overall i have never seen her healthy and happy like this before and I’m happy for her 🙏🏻
I admire you, because you are so transparent. Honestly, just give your body time to heal, it may not be perfect as it once was, but they need time to come back to their more natural state. Its kinda like being pregnant, your breasts enlarge, when you're caring, once you've weaned your baby, your breast will eventually return to as they once were to some extent.
Idk… you made the decision to get them as a young adult and made the decision to get them out as a young adult… I’m glad you’re happier but you personality has done a complete 180. Just strange to me that you hang out with new people and completely change over the span of a few months
@@britneybritney i don't think one should live for appearances. i don't in the slightest but she's done a complete 180 the content i subscribed for dealt her normal life and her moving process into her home and her family and it's gone for the sake of supposed higher purpose? one doesn't take a sharp left into religion seemly out of nowhere. you're entitled to your opinion as i am mine but i'll close the discussion for now have a pleasant day/evening.
@@AlejandraElisabet It is completely possible to do a 180 when you leave your old life in the past and turn to God. We’re still normal people with normal lives. We still have fun & do the things we love. We’re just more at peace & value different things. I speak from experience & it’s such a peaceful & beautiful thing. Of course, he has a different plan for all of his people. God bless you!
Your the reason why so many girls including me want to get a boob job. You kept raving about it on your clothing haul videos trying out clothes and saying u wish u got them done sooner its not even that long ago top one year ago. so why havent you mentioned any pain a year back?
I had to unsub a few years back because I was comparing myself to you and wishing I had the means to change my appearance too. It was so fun seeing you pop up in my recommended videos the other day. It was your ring shopping video. It is so refreshing to see your transformation not only physically(because recently you really have looked so radiant and my only thinking is that it's Jesus shining through you) but spiritually. I've been a believer for a long time and your testimony is so encouraging. I'm sorry you ever felt you needed to change and I'm so happy for you now and where you're headed. God has big things in store. Keep being vulnerable! also so so excited for this new relationship for you! you seem so much more at peace and joyful!
Thank you so much for posting this. I know it's not easy. I have watched you since 2016. I watched you grow. Its been amazing to see. A lot of women are not aware of the life changing harmful side effects this surgery can have on you. Thank you for sharing this. And I am proud to have you as my influencer and honestly your videos are so authentic that I actually see you as a friend. I fell like God has always been there and working through you the whole time. You honestly have helped me so much. Your videos are real and you hold nothing back. I just thanked God for this video. I needed it. Thank you girlie!
Ehh I feel differently. I feel like her whole personality is changing with this new older guy. When an independent woman suddenly turns into seemingly needing to apologize for every misstep that could be considered ungodly to secure a husband it’s a red flag. The negativity/ feeling the need to “repent” for anything questionable she’s ever done in her life like she was previously someone evil & out of control (when she wasn’t, these are just normal learning experiences) it’s off putting. Happy she found a relationship w/ god but it doesn’t need to be her whole personality. Always wish her all the best she’s a sweet girl, and this isn’t coming from a mean or hateful place, she’s just hardly posting and when she is it isn’t the content I subscribed for; if it’s only this from now on sadly I’ll be moving on.
@@Grayyy__ I kinda agree with you in the sens that I don’t really understand her evolution which feels like it has happened in one night, even tho it’s not the case it’s just weird to me. It’s probably the religious turn and I’m not religious at all .. idk where her channel is going but I can’t adhere to the i influenced a bunch of pll but god has talking my burden
@@Grayyy__ As she explained in the video, being a Christian is not just a religion, it changes your personality and your values cuz now you see what God's purpose is and you want nothing more than to be closee to Him and read His Word and learn and grow in Him.
@@rekaszumbaparty She didn’t state that in this video and it is JUST a religion unless you’re fanatical. I grew up Christian so you do not need to explain Christianity to me. A couple of my family members hold doctorates in theology and my cousin (a doctor) is even a published author and pastor of Christianity…my previous comment still stands.
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."
I also grew up catholic, also had surgery that I know was unnecessary and I’m so excited for you and for myself and for God has in store. Look forward to your testimony when His time is right. Sending love and prayers your way. ❤
We love you so much Alana! Thank you for sharing this stage of your life.. can’t wait to hear your beautiful testimony🥰🥰 sending lots of love and prayers
So incredible to witness your growth Alana. I’ve watched you for years and your new commitment to Christ is my favorite version of you yet ❤ keep pushing girly. You’re influencing more lives than you think, and don’t forget that there’s a whole army behind you.🙏🏻🫶🏻
I totally agree... Best version of her ❤
I remember how defensive she'd get about people warning her about all the procedures she was getting, its sad seeing her go through so much pain.
You never "need" it..
@Leandro Aude implying people above 30 need it. What is wrong with you? Nobody "needs" cosmetic surgery at all. (only people that have been in freak accidents etc, in which case it's reconstructive surgery).
Fix your mind.
This is an exceedingly gorgeous girl, I could never understand. But, we have to make our own mistakes in life sometimes. I’d have gone right out at 18 and done it too if I had the money.
@@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 🙄
Has she become mormom or something? It is a good thing to accept a natural body, but this is slightly suspicious compared to how vain this girl was before. She was in pain before but she was keeping that facade of "perfection".
I respect this video immensely. We need more influencers and people with large platforms being honest with the full scope of risks and complications of all these procedures. Also let’s not overlook the spiritual ramifications of these procedures and emotional fatigue endured.
Finally someone who looks back and understands that being 20 is still being a child. You did a great thing sharing this. Most people who go through this don't talk about it.
Yeah I just turned 18 and I still feel like I’m a kid lol
Sweet young woman …….
She made mistakes and learned a valuable lesson and then shared it with the rest of the world… I give you so much credit and respect
I would not say a child, because you can be independent at that age. You're just still naive at that age, but not a child.
I have so much respect for you. I am so terribly sorry you are going through this. Society puts so much pressure on us girls. We are the only ones who can stand up and say no. I admire your authenticity and transparency. Thank you for having the courage to share your story.
The smile and light you have in your eyes looking at your boo is so beautiful 🥺
I know! I noticed that too, the most pure and genuine smile and before she was making videos about putting botoxx in her gums bc of overanalysing her beautiful smile! So happy for her
Alana hi 👋🏽 grateful to hear your perspective. It resembles so much of mine. I removed my implants 4 years ago and have slowly healed my body again. I’ve never regretted it once. Thank you for using your voice
I don't usually make comments and never hate comments but this pisses me off a little bit. I watch Alanas videos since that timeline so many years have passed by and I remember her making these implant theme videos all the time explaining with every detail how much her decision has made her happy and how easy it was and everything else I remember everything. Besides that every couple months I see a different person it's like she can't decide what personality to have. Watching her so many years liking her but her not being able to maintain a perspective for things maintain a personality and other stuff it's like she is just all over the place and it's making me tired as a viewer as much as confused on what to believe from her. I believe that in a year she will again completely maintain other beliefs and opinions I can't keep up with so many changes. I'm so sorry not tryna hate
I understand what you mean but it’s so normal to develop and change in these ways in your 20s to find your true self. Not everyone changes as much, but some do. ❤
@@cica9272 that.. sounds. stupid
I have been watching her for years as well and noticed the same. As for the breast implants it was always a mistake in my eyes, she already had a big size and she added big implants as well which clearly not a good idea.
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...
Would I have more surgery going forward? No. Would I get my nose done now if I hadn't already? No. Why did I have my implants removed? Pain. Why wouldn't I get my nose or anything else done now or in the future? My looks are not my priority anymore. I was made for a greater purpose, as we all were.
@@Alana.Arbuccithank you so much for this reply. I was searching for this answer and you truly are inspirational. I was considering getting my nose done when I watched your past videos but you’ve changed my views now. Thanks so much. God bless you.
Can you please make a video on this topic elaborately? About higher purpose and not giving importance to our looks? Pls also talk about makeup. This is genuinely helpful
Damn, it takes a lot of strength for someone to be this vulnerable and open up to so many people
The exact thought I had
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. Because you’re exactly right, our appearances don’t really matter as much as society makes us believe. Thank you for always being so transparent with us in every stage of your life ❤️
My heart is breaking for you. Your body was beautiful then and it’s beautiful now, even with scars. 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.
Feeling honored to witness your personal and spiritual growth.
So well spoken, articulated and wise 😊
Keep going Alana, i m rooting for you 🫶
I cried with you Alana..What a relief to finally be pain free.
God is good ❤
It's a shame that society teaches girls that they're gonna be shunned or ignored if they don't have large breasts. I'm glad that some don't care or don't believe that. I wish everyone could just be themselves and not be influenced by their surroundings. I can't say that I wouldn't have something done if it was easy, cheap and painless. But it's always hard, expensive and horrendously invasive.😢
Oo there is a lot of shame here... It was a choice and now this is another choice. It's ok, people change.
So happy people are talking about this. Thank you for your vulnerability and for showing your healthy relationship with your boyfriend on the beginning, leaning on him for comfort and in times of stress- we don’t see moments like this online- it’s so beautiful & healthy. Also- I’m sending this to my little sister who had them done at 19/20. You’re going to help so many girls. 🥺
Children shouldn't be making permanent decisions about their body that they will most likely regret. I'm so sorry for you hun... As a 30yr old woman, I feel the same. I wish I had accepted my body as beautiful when I was younger. This is such an important message to be spreading to both young men and women. Please know that you are equally as beautiful now, just wiser... Life will teach you things in ways you don't understand at the moment, but will eventually one day.
Technically she was an adult I don't mean any type of hate it just does make a difference in my opinion
I hope this can be applied to transgender issues as well
@@recluseren legally she was an adult, but clearly she still wasn't old enough to make such a large decision. You grow so much, you change so much... Don't make a permanent decision you may regret.
@@recluseren the brain is not fully developed until 25 if I remember correctly. Just because your a adult by law does not mean you make the best conscious decisions. We are human and make mistakes but trends these days and all the social media is really influencing the youth and young adults.
I feel the same as you girl. Im also in my 30’s and I wish I could have been kinder to myself and to my better and simply been able to realize how perfect it was. Instead, I lost wayyyy to much time, energy and money trying to turn it into smth it was not, and just picking myself apart. Now, my skin is not the same, my breasts are the same, my thighs... and still I feel more beautiful than ever, bc I simply started appreciating what I had, instead of wishing what I didnt have.
And dont get me wrong, it took me a lot of time and eventually deleting social media from my life in order to get here. Deleting instagram which was the root cause of a lot of my self image issues was KEY. I would desperately want toget a nosejob, a bbl, lip fillers, etc after scrolling for a while. All these thoughts are gone now.
girl… i’m definitely not religious at all, but i’m happy you have found the thing that has opened your eyes to true connection, love, and acceptance. you really are glowing!
@@jimmyhopkins8447 no one is talking to you and no is is converting nobody you people need god
Right.
I'm probably the only *non-believer* in this comment section, but I'm glad she's doing *better physically and emotionally and is finding some sort of peace.* That's true growth ;-)
I'm down to watch you go through this god arch girl. I'm older and went through lots of different belief systems before getting to the point where I realized that the specific beliefs people hold and find meaning in are all the same thing. I totally support you on your journey and am happy and open to hear you speak on your beliefs and feelings. I'm glad you've found something that resonates with you :)
She has issues with body image, it is not just the breasts. Mentally she is pretty vulnerable.
I’m so proud of you! I don’t know why, but last year I was watching one of your videos and I had this thought “I have a big feeling that she’s gonna become a Christian soon.” God has had His hand over you this whole time ❤ keep pushing
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.
I remember when you got them put in because I remember you stating we were the same height, weight and breast size. So when you got them put in I have to be honest- I asked myself if I should go do it as well. But somehow I knew it wasn't something permanent for you (it was more of a trend). I realized you were someone truly valuable just as you were put on this earth, and I'm glad the day has come were you realized that too. ❤
Is nobody gonna mention the fact that she has a dog locked up in a cage crying?
i’m so glad you trusted yourself and listened to your body 💕i’ve learned a lot recently about all the crazy side effects of implants and it’s so sad seeing all of us women feel the need to harm our bodies for the beauty standard 😩 happy you’re not in pain anymore!!!
Honestly I love you ❤ I’ve never felt more connected to you than I do now and I’m so happy for you, your new approach in life and your connection with God.
God bless you Alana ❤
I’m SO glad you aren’t in pain anymore!! Also, I can’t wait to hear your testimony!
Proverbs 31:25 “She is clothed with strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future.”
proud of you for putting your health and well being first 💕 at the end of the day it’s not about what we look like but about. ring the happiest healthiest version of ourselves we can be
You guys starting to pray made me instantly tear up that's so pure and genuine I wish for something like that to happen to me 😢❤
Having my implants taken out gave me my life & confidence back 🎉 so happy for you.
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 💛
I neeeever imagined that I would be so spiritually uplifted by you and your content. Now I’ve got major tears in my eyes as I watch so much light and truth come from you. I’m so happy for you
I am speechless. What an utter joy it has been to see your transformation over the past several months. When I hear you speak about God or your faith, it makes me so emotional. I love it and I'm SO happy for you and just know you have so many of us that are right there with you. You're not alone in this❤
Don’t beat yourself up for decisions made as a child. We all look back on our past with some regrets. It’s part of growing up. I’m more bothered by surgeons trying to influence young people into life altering decisions to make a profit. I’m honored to witness your spiritual journey and I’m certain beautiful things are in your future. Bless you Dear Alana.
Videos like this are so important for anyone thinking about getting plastic surgery ❤
Wow breast implants sound terrifying now that you explained the explant surgery. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone talk so openly about the realities of that surgery that has become so normalized. It was very eye opening and I’m sorry that you had to go through that, I wish you good health 💞
From the start of the video I can’t tell you how proud I am as a viewer because I’ve following your journey since you had your initial surgery that you started things off with a prayer 🙏 you are made in God’s image and you are a co-heir of Heaven with Jesus Christ, that’s what makes you the powerful child of God that you are ❤I am so happy to see you in this journey and using your platform and the knowledge that God has given you to touch others. This video made me cry, just like the last few has done 🥹 but tears of joy of seeing your beautiful soul being saved ❤
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.
Thank you for this Alana. You will help so many people to see their true value. It’s been so special watching you grow into the person you are.
I have been watching you since like 2016 I think. I have always admired how strong and independent you are. You had everything planned out to the T. You were so head strong and knew exactly what you wanted. You always got what you wanted too. It’s been good seeing you handle everything life has thrown at you with grace. I have also recently started my walk with Christ (again). I have to say my favorite book is Ecclesiastes. If you haven’t studied that book I would highly recommend it. It pretty much talks about how King Solomon knew who God was, proceeded to live for the flesh and worldly things, realized how happy he was even though he had everything and repented. It’s a nice letter warning us that living for the flesh will not bring us true happiness.
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.
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.
Alana, PLEASE be careful. Ur treading a slippery slope. All I will say, is that I grew up in a Christian church, conservative, etc. over time I started to realize that people like to use God to weaponize people and their choices, they like to use the Bible to manipulate and get what they want from people, even if other peoples choices don’t affect them personally, they still like to control. Those types of people are the ones who like to preach about it nonstop but also acting like they never make mistakes or never sin themselves. The people that I know, that truly have God in them, are not judgmental. They are accepting and loving of EVERYONE. gay, transgender, etc. because only God can judge someone. Each person has their own choices and their own life and their own journey with God and only God can judge that person. It is not our job as people to change other people. Our job is to love people in the condition they are in, and making them feel good enough and accepting their life choices (except for when it is physically harming someone else). And I hope your boyfriend isn’t an extremist in the religious aspect because that’s when it can get super tricky. Ugh. I hope this gets through to you❤️
Please don’t ever become the person who thinks they are better than someone else because they know the word of God or make choices that you wouldn’t make personally. We don’t need any more of that in this time of our lives. We just need unconditional love and acceptance to people
I cried watching this! Thank you for being so vulnerable. Thank you Jesus for bringing Alana peace about this situation 🙏
So grateful to spend eternity with you sister in Christ! ❤
Just when I thought I couldn’t find you more relatable, you speak about Christ in a beautiful way! I am so happy for you and your relationship with God. And I’m glad you’re at peace with your decision 🫶❤️
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!🩵
Alana we are LOVING the “new you”, I’ve been a follower for years and I’ve actually prayed for you before but even tho you may have influenced people in this decision, you can now use your influence to lead people to Jesus❤️ I am beyond happy for you and your salvation
HalleluYah! It's so beautiful to see God being glorified through you and your platform. I'm so happy for you, Alana 🤍
And also so happy to be able to call you my sister in Christ.
Keep showing the world how wonderful He is 🙌🏼
Wow! Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. Your faith journey has been incredible to watch unfold. Keep shining that light ❤️🥹
Her being so religious looks like an another obsession (( like plastic surgery, injections , boyfriend. There’s nothing wrong in religion, but you don’t have to start a video with a prayer, then another prayer, then reciting Bible…. just have faith and do good, that’s enough, but this looks scary((((
"so religious?" having a belief in Christ and finding comfort in that faith is "so religious?" you sound a little triggered
It is actually not enough or possible. Psalm 14:3 They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is **none** who does good, not even one.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 10:9 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and **believe** in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
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.
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.
I’m an agnostic leaning more atheist, but I relate to your life values now more than ever before somehow. I’ve followed you for years and I’ve always liked you for being raw and honest about your perspectives. Even when you were in more shallow material phases of your life, you expressed what you were going through and always lent insight into your thought processes, and I could see and relate to your logic, especially because of the culture we were in during those times and the pressure social media places on young women to look and perform a certain way.
I almost started getting plastic surgery like 5 years ago too. Had an appointment for lip filler and under eye injections, but ended up falling on my lower back and getting a bad muscle contusion the night before the appointment and couldn’t get out of bed for 5 days straight. Which somehow led me to never getting anything done, thankfully. I just never made another appointment.
If there perhaps is a god, he stepped in and was like “No bitch, we ain’t doin’ this shit to or bodies” *Proceeds to WWE pile drive my lower back into the outer tub wall to stop me from making the huge mistake of putting filler in my face. Lol. It’s cool to see you come out on the other side though. Your boobie scars sound badass to me because of the ideology they represent. The evolution of you. If I was looking at your scars irl, I’d probably perceive them as a hot alternative girl body mod. They’d be a turn on because your flesh has depth and an empowering story to tell. That shit is sensual af. 😂❤
Please NEVER touch your beautiful face, even with filler. You do not need it❤
@cocomarineblu993 fillers are way less benign then most think. Please never get them. They have no studied long term and very dangerous. ❤️
Love you sis. Your story is powerful and your vulnerability in sharing your story will inevitably point someone who is lost to truth. Nothing better than that ❤️
This is such a powerful message, girl I’m a new follower and I want you to know that I am proud of you. I’m proud that you are realizing your light on this earth, your true light.
I can’t wait for your testimony video!! The transparency in this video and honesty is so amazing to see!! I have been praying for before you were saved and I will continue to do so!! Thank again for opening up!❤️
Same 💓
I’m so PROUD Of you! I grew up catholic but now I’m Christian. Always loved Jesus but took me until 30 to get baptized. So good for you for loving him and showing your audience what life with Christ can be like, so excited to continue to watch your journey. I also got implants at 21 had them now for 12 years and now starting to get pain. I needed this video, you are correct we where children we shouldn’t have been allowed to make those type of decisions honestly
Catholics are Christians. We are the first and oldest Church.
Don’t blame yourself one bit for the decision you made or for influencing anyone. The world has tormented and blinded us so much. There’s a big revival happening right now. We’re starting to see the truth. I’m in the same place right now changing my life to live for God and feeling so much guilt and regret
Alana I can’t even begin to express how happy and joyful I am to hear you talk about your Christianity. The first minute of the video I could already tell how different you are. You carry yourself so different and I’m so honored to witness you grow and transform in your relationship with Christ! You were already one of my favorite RUclipsrs but now even more!! Can’t wait for your new content to come!
Awww Alana you have always been an inspiration! You have always been outwardly beautiful, but it is your incredible inner beauty that is the most captivating thing about you. I know you’ll overcome whatever may come your way, keep your head up angel ❤
you changed your whole life and personality SO fast… scary
This!!! I’m a former Christian and it’s soooo scary how fast you confirm when you think this is the only way.
She always obsesses over something
It’s so worrying. I unsubscribed but had this video pop up on my recommended and i don’t even recognise her!
@Anna Kerr This. Exactly. It's a beautiful thing.
I don’t think she changed her personality. Maybe she just got a different perspective in life and honestly it’s like a switch u just see things more clearly. We are no one to judge her :).
I love hearing a sister in Christ talk about my God . I cry every single time. I love how she said I'm getting off topic. No ur not sister . Your right on track. God bless u.
Alana...you made me cry😢..I feel for you and what you have gone thru..and I am so happy you are finally free! Your transformation is so evident..and what a role model you are becoming for this younger generation that we need more than anything! You are radiating such beauty and grace. Thank you for sharing your walk with Christ! Looking forward to seeing more of how Christ has touched each area of your life. ❤
So happy you found Christ and are feeling better, i’ve been watching you for years now, because I always loved your opinions on finances and relationships and of course some beauty things but I just want you to know that you are so intelligent and beautiful and having Christ in your life makes you shine from inside and out like I’ve never seen before. Stay strong in your foundation and God bless you and Tim.
So how is your nose any different?
I was wondering about the same thing, can you please talk about how is your rhinoplasty decisions/experiences different from your current topic of breast explant? Thank you 🙏🏼
I watched you for years. I’ve been on a journey with Jesus since 2016, fell off 2018, came back to Christ 2021 and my life has changed for the better. I’m so happy to see this video and to see you this way. I too am considering explant surgery due to pain and I can’t wait until that day. I’m afraid of how I’ll look but I know it won’t take away from my femininity because like you said I am a child of God ❤️ sending you so much love.
Wow Alana I’m not even done watching but I am so proud of how far you have came. I been watching you for a long time since before you got so big and I just absolutely loved how open and honest and amazing your content was. However it reached a point where everything started to be about your appearance and procedures and I was going through so much mentally with my anxiety and body dysmorphia it became so hard to keep watching. I got my nose done and breasts lifted a month before you got your nose done and I realized I was falling into a deep hole. None of this is your fault but I had to stop watching you completely and then randomly you came to my mind recently and i started watching you again and just feel like we’re on such a similar journey. I’m thankful for you as a content creator and how open you are with what you go through
I feel like you always do something change your mind after and so on... I personally doubt this will last... just be careful. I have a bad feeling about everything.
I get that its out if concern
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.
🙏🏽 Been along for your journey and growing parallel to you it seems. This message is incredibly important- now more than ever… sending you so much love & peace.💓🦋
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.
You have become by far my favorite person on the internet ever since you became Christian. It very rare seeing anyone that is Christian openly talk about God every time they speak and I love that you arent afraid of anyone but God. I’m honestly so proud of you and I pray that people are able to see Christ in me as much as I can see Christ in you. ❤
As a Muslim I’m so glad you found faith in god , may Allah swt guide you
your journey is sooo inspiring! thank you for letting it be a testimony for us ✨✨💛
Proud of you girl!! And don't be so so hard on yourself!! God knew you'd do this before you came to Him so it's all part of your story ❤
I’ve been a Christian all my life, since I was about 5 years old. I’m 32 years old now. Last year at 31, I found out that I carry the brca1 gene mutation, which puts my risk of getting breast cancer and ovarian cancer up to 80%. I made the decision that same year to have a preventative double mastectomy and have implants placed (I did not feel comfortable going flat, nor should I be forced to). I have 3 kids who I need to live a long life for and be healthy for. When I am 40, I will be removing my uterus and ovaries to eliminate the ovarian cancer risk.
Yes my body was cut open and i have scars. My boobs don’t look the way God intended them to, but I am alive and I will (hopefully, God willing) never get breast cancer since my risk is now 5% or lower. I do deal with occasional pains, which are nerve pains from them being cut, but overall I feel fine. Your personal journey with Christ and having implants is your own. It’s good to share your testimony if it helps prevent young girls from doing something they will regret later, but some women don’t have a choice when it comes to surgeries. That’s nothing to be ashamed of.
I've been watching you for so many years now. And I'm so happy to see where you've come. As one of your Muslim followers I'm happy that you found peace in your relationship with God. I love you so much, truly.
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…
I’ve watched your videos for years. I see so much peace in your eyes compared to over the years. I can’t wait to hear your testimony. I can see how good has changed you so much already. Thank you for being so vulnerable. I admire your courage. I will always support you! 🫶🏼💕
I’m so glad you’re going through this journey now and realising all these things and growth. You’re really brave for being so vulnerable. Praying for your healing and happiness 💖
I love how you are being taken care of now. being loved and cared for is a blessing, even if "hustle culture" shames it. people should take care of each other and i'm so happy for you😊
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).
This is incredible, I’ve been watching you since the first surgery and to see you now in a beautiful relationship with God is the best I’ve seen you. Thank you Jesus!
Hey! I remember watching the video where you first got your implants done. I remember thinking what is she doing her chest was perfect naturally. I am happy you finally realized. Ive gone through similar experiences myself and was considering surgery at the time for myself as well. Cheers to growth and realization. ❤
Giiirrrrllllll I’m so happy you are pain free and in peace 😍 I Love this new person that you became ! I cant wait for you’re testimony ! I’m also a Christian. I was raised in Christianity.. and always believed in God but I didn’t had a relationship ( well not like now ) …. Now I understand what that means. Reading the Bibel … being in a real relationship with Christ, being in his word. Also …You are more beautiful then ever … you truly shine from within ‚ thank you for that message! ❤
This world is such a fallen place, perpetuating the idea that people need to look a certain way to be considered beautiful when in reality our every feature is handpicked by God himself. You’re so brave for sharing this experience, and thank you for doing so. You are so extremely beautiful and you are just blossoming into the most beautiful version of yourself through your walk in Christ. You are the big sissy in Christ that we all needed. Thank you💕 God is always with you and he won’t ever let you face anything you aren’t strong enough to handle, he will always be there to lean on.
“Where did I go so wrong? How could I get it so wrong?” Surgery is not wrong. It makes a lot of people feel confident and helps them. Your journey isn’t everyone else’s. I want you to remember that as you’re going through these drastic changes, again.
You just sound dumb . In her quote she is referring to herself . Did she say other ppl or did she say “I” , meaning HERSELF . You guys are so damn annoying and judgmental about her new journey instead of being happy for her for becoming happier . If you dont like it then just leave already , damn.
Exactly! Some people get breast implants at that age and end up loving them. They’re not for everyone but for some people, it is the right decision for them. Also, she’s had a lot of procedures done. I feel like she was super pro body modifications and now she’s swung completely the other way
Did she said everybody? No. Stop projecting your insecure thoughts on her.
Also why did she delete all her nose job content? That’s also quite strange. I liked her vids so much back then, I have no hatred towards her but pure confusion 🤷♀️
@@yasiem6245 I’m definitely not. I have never gotten any work done. 🤣
God is so good! The freedom in Christ is like no other!! He sets us free!!!
OMG !!!! IM 20 AND IM WORKING 2 JOBS TO GET MY BOOBS DONE AND I PRAYED TO GOD TO HELP ME DECIDE!! AND YOUR VIDEO WAS THE FIRST THING POPPED OUT ON YT !! NOT DOING IT ILL BUY ME A CAR INSTEAD! U R ANA ANGEL THANK YOU AND I LOVE U ❤
I'm not judging. You have found a relationship with God & thats great, you seem happy. I was an atheist for many years and then came back to God on my own, & i'm happier with him.
But i'm not sure how much longer i'll be watching, because when someones whole existence becomes "about God", it can become very one-note. Not to exxagerate, but its like "we just missed that rainstorm, glory be to God, i'm so happy Christ helped me find these Eggbeaters on sale". In a way it can become another addiction, another fixation. And just personally - i'll meet God, God-willing, when i go to heaven. Thats enough for me. On earth, all he cares about is that i'm a good person and leave earth & the people i interact with better than i found them. God doesnt care when i eat meat or fish or what clothes i wear or who i aleep with, as long as in doing the things i do, i'm not hurtimg anyone else, and i'm trying to put good into the world & help others.
So thats why i dont go to church, i dont pray everyday... those are those "good tjings" that can end up making people entitled to do less than their best - sometimes at least. Like "im a good person i pray nightly & go to church sumday for 3 hours!" Meanwhile theyre ripping off their employee & cheating on their wife.
So i make my service to God be in my actions, the way i treat people and how i live my life.
This is a new phase of your journey in life, & i wish you well! Im glad you see your true beauty now. Growing up as a girl its hard, its pounded into us that how we look is EVERYTHING. Sure, people wont say that out loud, but as a a female growing up, we get the message loud & clear-your beauty is a huge part of your value. Its hard.
Lastly - again, i'm happy youre happy :) i'm just saying, dont lose YOU. People can get lost in religion just like they can drugs or money or consumerism or gambling. Anything that gives you pleasure or happiness can be overdone. I'm not saying dont be close to God, i have a relationship with him myself and am better for it. I'm just saying dont lose YOU 🩷
You are here on this earth once, we get one life, dont get too wrapped up in any one thing and miss the beauty thats all around you. God wants us to be good to eachother :::here on earth:: and LIVE, truly live, while we're alive.
I'll still be checking in, its just a little heavy on the religious stuff for me right now. I wish you all the best! Its great seeing you happy :)
Tbh from the past video i said “wow she looks so healthy and happy and mature I’m so happy for her” but after this video i have noticed a lot of her videos are gone and her instagram is different ( which is to me is really understandable since she’s religious now ) but I’m worried if her content is going to change? Because I’m really not interested in seeing anything related to any religion and i feel like i lost one of my favourite RUclipsrs :’)
But overall i have never seen her healthy and happy like this before and I’m happy for her 🙏🏻
I admire you, because you are so transparent.
Honestly, just give your body time to heal, it may not be perfect as it once was, but they need time to come back to their more natural state.
Its kinda like being pregnant, your breasts enlarge, when you're caring, once you've weaned your baby, your breast will eventually return to as they once were to some extent.
Idk… you made the decision to get them as a young adult and made the decision to get them out as a young adult… I’m glad you’re happier but you personality has done a complete 180. Just strange to me that you hang out with new people and completely change over the span of a few months
it is a little strange, if she's happy then i'm happy but it just feel like she's swung to the conservative religious side of the pendulum.
@@AlejandraElisabet what’s wrong with that? Much better to not live your life for physical happiness but living your life to serve a higher purpose.
@@britneybritney i don't think one should live for appearances. i don't in the slightest but she's done a complete 180 the content i subscribed for dealt her normal life and her moving process into her home and her family and it's gone for the sake of supposed higher purpose? one doesn't take a sharp left into religion seemly out of nowhere. you're entitled to your opinion as i am mine but i'll close the discussion for now have a pleasant day/evening.
@@AlejandraElisabet It is completely possible to do a 180 when you leave your old life in the past and turn to God. We’re still normal people with normal lives. We still have fun & do the things we love. We’re just more at peace & value different things. I speak from experience & it’s such a peaceful & beautiful thing. Of course, he has a different plan for all of his people. God bless you!
It’s a bit concerning I hope she’s happy
You inspired me to start praying and wanting a relationship with God again. Thank you so much Alana ❤
What about your nose? Was that “disfigurement” and defiling your natural body also?
Your the reason why so many girls including me want to get a boob job. You kept raving about it on your clothing haul videos trying out clothes and saying u wish u got them done sooner its not even that long ago top one year ago. so why havent you mentioned any pain a year back?
I had to unsub a few years back because I was comparing myself to you and wishing I had the means to change my appearance too. It was so fun seeing you pop up in my recommended videos the other day. It was your ring shopping video. It is so refreshing to see your transformation not only physically(because recently you really have looked so radiant and my only thinking is that it's Jesus shining through you) but spiritually. I've been a believer for a long time and your testimony is so encouraging. I'm sorry you ever felt you needed to change and I'm so happy for you now and where you're headed. God has big things in store. Keep being vulnerable! also so so excited for this new relationship for you! you seem so much more at peace and joyful!
Aw Alana ! It’s crazy growing up with you. You’re the one who made me want to do vlogs around procedures!
So happy and excited for you! ❤ Aging and our mental awareness is so hard but you are never alone in this life. We love you
Thank you so much for posting this. I know it's not easy. I have watched you since 2016. I watched you grow. Its been amazing to see. A lot of women are not aware of the life changing harmful side effects this surgery can have on you. Thank you for sharing this. And I am proud to have you as my influencer and honestly your videos are so authentic that I actually see you as a friend. I fell like God has always been there and working through you the whole time. You honestly have helped me so much. Your videos are real and you hold nothing back. I just thanked God for this video. I needed it. Thank you girlie!
I hope this doesn’t come off wrong but your new content is so much more relatable now and I love this Alana so much. Thank you for being you.
I agree !
Ehh I feel differently. I feel like her whole personality is changing with this new older guy. When an independent woman suddenly turns into seemingly needing to apologize for every misstep that could be considered ungodly to secure a husband it’s a red flag. The negativity/ feeling the need to “repent” for anything questionable she’s ever done in her life like she was previously someone evil & out of control (when she wasn’t, these are just normal learning experiences) it’s off putting. Happy she found a relationship w/ god but it doesn’t need to be her whole personality. Always wish her all the best she’s a sweet girl, and this isn’t coming from a mean or hateful place, she’s just hardly posting and when she is it isn’t the content I subscribed for; if it’s only this from now on sadly I’ll be moving on.
@@Grayyy__ I kinda agree with you in the sens that I don’t really understand her evolution which feels like it has happened in one night, even tho it’s not the case it’s just weird to me. It’s probably the religious turn and I’m not religious at all .. idk where her channel is going but I can’t adhere to the i influenced a bunch of pll but god has talking my burden
@@Grayyy__ As she explained in the video, being a Christian is not just a religion, it changes your personality and your values cuz now you see what God's purpose is and you want nothing more than to be closee to Him and read His Word and learn and grow in Him.
@@rekaszumbaparty She didn’t state that in this video and it is JUST a religion unless you’re fanatical. I grew up Christian so you do not need to explain Christianity to me. A couple of my family members hold doctorates in theology and my cousin (a doctor) is even a published author and pastor of Christianity…my previous comment still stands.
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."
I'm here for the new content Alana! I love it! I can't wait to hear your testimony too
@@precioush5825 Yesss! We want the testimony when you're ready!
I also grew up catholic, also had surgery that I know was unnecessary and I’m so excited for you and for myself and for God has in store. Look forward to your testimony when His time is right. Sending love and prayers your way. ❤
We love you so much Alana! Thank you for sharing this stage of your life.. can’t wait to hear your beautiful testimony🥰🥰 sending lots of love and prayers
Would love to hear your personal testimony
