"I am not an avatar that needs physical updates"... damn that's crazy. We got a whole metaverse and we still trying to alter our real selves. Save it for the Sims sis! You're right, never looked at a sunflower and thought "that one petal is bigger and needs altering." I see nature as beautiful in all it's nuances and WE ARE NATURE. ❤
I also agree, what a wonderful way to view it! We are nature-yess!! 💜
You know what's up ❤️
Say it louder! 👏🏻❤️
Maybe you were meant to get them, only to take them out. To share this important message. I know you’ll inspire so many others to choose their body over the aesthetic. I hope you heal wonderfully 💕
I believe this to be true thank you 💕
Like it's was part of the soul contract. This is how this message resonated in my soul.
What complete rubbish. She is really pretty but she mutilated her body with the tattoos and mutilated her body with the implants. She was not meant to get them, it was a stupid move. Hopefully she learned something from these faulty attempts to differentiate herself.
That's the most BS i ever herd
@@Menstral What is rubbish?? Do you have a purpose here on earth are you connected to the creator or is life all rubbish to you???
I shed a few tears when you said there’s so much power in reclaiming the imperfect. I’ve had an autoimmune disease (psoriasis) since I was little and it’s been a daily struggle towards self acceptance and this resonated with me immensely
Here with you Lahan ❤️ I have lymes , vitiligo and more. You’re not alone and I celebrate you!
Do you know Anthony William alias Medical Medium? He explains how food can heal your body…
Medical Medium is nothing but a con artist, please don't listen to him. Also, yes, the way we eat plays a huge part, but unfortunately, even if we have the healthiest diet, health issues can still occur 😔
I recently was diagnosed with psoriasis and it was definitely extremely hard to accept at first. We are ALL beautiful humans and although this world is very different, nothing should matter but the beauty within. ❤
Hello, isn't psoriasis the skin condition you mean? I've also been diagnosed with it in December 2021, but mine is all located on my scalp, i used many medicines and it was so hard to go through, but i got to use hormonal cream, did you do so? Maybe if you do you may feel better eventually
Honestly, wow. What a beautiful perspective and message to share with us. As a woman, thank you. This is so so so important. We are so magical and beautiful just as is. Your journey has been a pleasure to watch ❤️🙏🏼
I love this so much. As a woman with a very small chest, I'm often made to feel less womanly because of it, less beautiful, less sexy. I'm asked on a pretty regular basis if I am planning on having breast surgery. It's so refreshing to see a woman embrace her natural form. I have nothing against women who choose to change their bodies and love themselves for it, but I appreciate your message: that we should love our bodies, augmented or not.
If you're interested there is a RUclipsr whose channel seems to be all about self-acceptance. Her name is Clara Dao.
There in no need to be worried about small breasts. You are as woman as other with big breast. There is no need to insecure. Don't feel demotivated. Love your body as it is
Sorry to hear that. My boobs are literally not even in a size A but I’ve never heard a mean comment about them. I actually like them cause they make me look skinny and fit.
I'm trans and I agree we don't feel like women unless we get giant implants
As a woman who had large breasts at one point. I had a reduction and felt so much more free. Larger breasts did not make me feel more womanly. I felt heavy and didn't like when people noticed them. I think everyone has a different definition of what womanly or sexy is.
What you are doing will hopefully reach the ears, hearts and minds of a generation (both male & female) who are not as self-aware. Your experiences are building blocks. Normalizing these conversations, is well overdue. Thank you for sharing your journey
To be honest: when I first read the title I wasn‘t expecting something so touching and so deep. THANK YOU SO MUCH. For years I was struggeling with self harm and a huge part of healing was realising that the human body is a breathing miracle. Lots of love from Germany
Girl, you are the REALEST woman out here on youtube...id almost given up on finding real guidance until yoy today....everything in Gods timing. Hope u are happy healthy and healed!!!😊
Wow! Your story is just so powerful, I’m 26 soon 27 and my “small” chest has always been an insecurity of mine. I would say things like “I wish it was just a little bigger than it’s”. However, I’m not big on operation and I also know that God makes no mistakes but it was still a struggle. Listening to you is just a step towards accepting my chest for what they’re and embrace it. I’m not saying it will happen overnight but this has been what I needed to hear. So thank you for reminding us to embrace our bodies/chest. You’re inspirational. With so much love and respect all the way from Sweden ❤️❤️🥰
Yes! Small boobs here too and after 2 kids, yikes! But God made us perfect and who are we to alter our bodies and disapprove of His work. I have to remind myself this constantly. Kill the flesh 💚everyday
@@EnochnKale @Ruth T God makes no mistakes? Tell that to the millions of people born with crippling birth defects and devastating childhood illnesses. There was a news story in Britain a few years back where a team of surgeons had to work around the clock for days on a baby that was born with its organs OUTSIDE ITS BODY. Try again.
I felt the same way you do now. I really wish I didn't get these implants.
I just had a breast reduction be glad of your small chest! Big breast are not fun
@@tonirodriquez706 make a priority to take them out, so many women have mental and physical complications that doctors ignore because it is all a business. I always say “small boobs big heart” 😁❤️
First of all, i am so grateful for your eloquence and soothing soul Sophia. I was just talking to my friend about this today. I’ve been debating getting a boob job since I was 16 years old. I’m now 28, and still debating. Maybe the reason I’ve never pulled the trigger is because deep down my soul knows, it wouldn’t be me. The reasons you mentioned: more male attention, more (perceived) confidence, and feeling more “feminine” are the only reasons I could think of for getting them. But I’ve also had the realization way too many times that
1. The right man won’t care how big my chest is.
2. Confidence is not external
3. Feeling more “feminine” is more than just looks. It’s my kindness, my compassion, and empathy for others.
This was a sign for the universe that solidified what I’ve already known. I’m enough. Small chest and all ❤️
Word! You are enough!
I hope you don't I've had implants since 18 now 54 super sick
When I was 16 I had many surgery’s/ fillers and alterations I had planned on doing to myself
So glad that by the time I turned 18 I had made the choice to not alter anything!
This story is so beautiful and hope more younger people hear it before making their decision!
Thank you for this 🧡
Omg same here lol. I remember I use to look in the mirror and cry .. only thing I got done were my boobs, thank god. I learned to love myself as I got older; confidence isn’t given to you!!! I worked hella hard for mine just to let it go.
Can’t wait for your next video on body dismorphia Sophia! I think it’s so necessary to hear such messages in this day and age. I’ll be 27 soon and I’ve always wanted to heal that part of myself that lacks the self-love and confidence my inner beings knows I deserve. Much love to you and yours 🖤
I cried my eyes out while watching the video 😭 so proud of you and hope you will get better very soon 💛
So glad you made this video. I've had mine in for 25 years and can not wait to get mine out in August. Blessings for you and I'm so so happy for you doing this for yourself. I'm counting down my days
I’m so thankful that you decided to share your story. Thank you for being so open. You are so beautiful inside and out. This is truly inspiring. I love this 💗
I'm really interested in that video about body dismorphia. Please do it! And thank you for sharing this story. In a world where we're constantly told what to change in ourselves , it's really inspiring to see someone in peace with who they were/are for real and refusing what's strange in their body. Thank you 💕
I am 8mths post explant, I'll be 52yrs old next week. I had my implants for14yrs. I got them after breast feeding my son and going from an A cup to an AA cup after I stopped breastfeeding. They made me feel good about how I looked, I felt imperfect, but a few years ago I started to make life changes and see myself in a different light and realized I didn't need bigger breasts( I got C cups) to feel good about myself and feel perfect any longer so I started wishing I had them out. Last year the desire to have them taken out got so strong I finally found a doctor and scheduled an appointment to have them removed. On the outside they looked great , we could see no reason to remove them but there was something nagging me to remove them. I had a Great doctor and team. After surgery he came to visit in recovery and told me that the surgery went well but that the left implant had a rupture and was leaking silicone. Thank the most highs that I listened to my body when it said Remove these foreign objects from your body. I am back to an A cup and sooo very happy. I am wishing you all the best on your recovery journey and as you get reunited with your body. Peace and blessings.
I am so curious as so what the breast looks like after at this age. I’m also 52 and I am getting mine removed after 25 years. I was also an A cup prior and went to a C…did you have your skin lifted after removal? I’m curious what they will look like after.
@@zimmerz701 Hi there. I did not get a lift afterwards. I was prepared to live with the results what ever they looked like. They are definitely not as perky as they used to be🥴, and I also have scaring underneath and a little keloid from the incisions. My skin, Black, is prone to keloids. I'm back to an A Cup and feeling like my old self again with ageing of course. I hope that helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
@@zimmerz701 Same. Ive had mine for 34 years and found out one has ruptured recently so need them out but scared what 34 yrs of saggy skin will look like if i dont replace them
I hope anyone considering getting implants, watches your video. I think you're going to help so many people. You're a beautiful person inside and out 💖
Literally obsessed with you especially for putting in footage of the surgery itself. BADASS!!
You are so brave Sophia. I respect the courage it took to explant, and your willingness & vulnerability to share this experience with others. Really powerful✊🏽
Thank you. I think you've touched every woman who's thought about ever wanting to change themselves. You are the real blessing.
Not me tearing up rn🥺 Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for sharing this ☀️ keep shining your light
💜💜 thank you for being so transparent, vulnerable, and yourself!
You are very strong Sophia. Not many people are this brave to be this vulnerable. You are a special soul. Thank you for sharing ❤️
So happy for you! I remember getting mine out four years ago, best decision of my life.
Girl your soul is so pure it’s crazy. Watching this is like therapy for me fr.💓
SO EXCITED FOR YOU. You are truly an inspiration. I loveeee your outlook on life and your compassion for the world.
This made me so much more emotional than I expected. Your story is inspiring and brings more body positivity than I’ve ever seen… feeling one with your body and listening to your body. Something I’m starting to learn. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Your raw emotions, truthful storytelling is so refreshing and really needed on this platform (and in this world) ❤️🙏🌎🦋 You're stunningly beautiful, brave, strong, kind & inspiring Sophia!
Very proud of you for being so honest and open about this time in your life. I always knew it wasn’t a healthy idea with all the issue I have already dealt with with my body. I wish I had known or felt that way about the IUD I had in my for years although they said it was non hormonal I now live with and am healing the side effects that have come with birth control most of my adolescence. I hope we can continue to spread to knowledge to the youth of today and beyond…
Ur a role model for a lot of women out there.
Been watching you for a while now Sophia and I've seen the transition, BIG respect. Keep it up! Keep shining.
Happy for you! I had my explant 9 months ago, I feel amazing!
The most important thing is having someone go through that experience and being able to share the realizations and important lessons to others, most especially to the young girls going through the same insecurities and emotions. It is being able to learn as part of the human experience. Thank you for your powerful story. ❤️
I have been so so insecure about my tiny boobs for YEARS. Really needed to see this ❤
You are perfect...💚
Always Remember this from your Indian friend!!🌍
This video is so beautifully done Sophia!! Made me cry twice and feel so grateful for my body. Thank you. I’m so happy for you and so proud of who you’ve become!!! We’re all so lucky to learn from you.
Thank you for being open, raw and real.
Respect.
Wow. Such a beautiful story you told. Self love and acceptance is what we all need. Thankyou for walking us through this very personal journey.
sophia, thank you for sharing
you inspire me to be my most natural and real self, and it’s such a beautiful feeling
So happy for you love! You give off the most peaceful, calming energy! You’re awesome! 💙
Sophia, you are an actual being of light. Your energy is absolutely pure and beautiful. I’m so thankful that you shared your story and happy that you have discovered your true self. I send everyone who is reading this, so much love and light, miracles and blessings, and to live a life you are in love with! 🌸🌷✨
You have a beautiful heart Sophia, thanks for sharing your story! It’s a testament that beauty comes from within! ❤️
you are such an inspiration. this video made me realize a lot. thank you so much for sharing your story and a beautiful perspective on self love and acceptance.
Wow, your words…absolutely beautiful. I’m a few hours post-op & this made me tear up in a good way. Exactly how I feel. Thank you for your help in this lifetime ❤️🦋
Happy for you and as someone who’s starting med school this year I’m rooting you on if I heard you correctly on wanting to become a doctor as well :) would love to hear more about that if you’re open to it
I was already crying 15 seconds into the video 😄 this is the best thing I've seen in the longest time. Thank you, Sophia! I'm going to feel so much better about myself today. I know that I might wake up tomorrow, look at myself and hate the reflection in the mirror again, but now I know that I can always watch this again or simply think about all the beautiful words you say here and feel better again. This is truly beautiful and uplifting and you words are wise and inspiring in so many ways ❤
Also, what a wonderful doctor!
Made me cry! So happy and proud of you! Thank you for inspiring me 🙏🏻♥️
you are so well spoken!!!! this whole video felt like a powerful poem!!
This was beautiful to watch! Happy for you,you've grown so much!!
You’re such a beautiful woman, inside & out.. truly are making an impact by just telling your story. Can’t wait to keep up with your videos!
I have been keeping up with you since Vine. I adore you and your positive influences to this crazy world. Honestly you’re my favorite influencer. I love the positive messages you put out. You’re a rare soul Sophia. Just truly authentic and genuine. ♥️♥️
This was so beautiful and honest. I am so happy that you feel better now.
This is such a beautiful message! Thank you for this video. It really made me appreciate myself more for never feeling bad for my small chest. I always knew when people criticized my breasts for being too small that there is nothing wrong with me, but with them for sexualizing a couple of organs that are only meant for lactating a newborn. I thank god every day for never seeing anything wrong with the way I look, but it’s so sad for me to see that many people all they see in the mirror are flaws and by that, they impose limitations to their own selves. I hope everyone will get over their insecurities❤️
thank you so much for your inspiring words and for taking us with you on your journey 🌞 it's because of you that I am rethinking my decision on getting implants and I thank you so much for that!
To share stories like this is so important to help others not to take a bad decision based on insecurity and not on self respect. Also the way you tell it is wonderful 👍👍👍
Thank you! I’ve been thinking of doing this for a few years now but had no one speaking of it. I have a reduction at 18 that went very wrong. The plastic surgeon said he’d pay for the fix after I was done having children. I wasn’t planning on doing anything but after my last child was born, my left breast caved in and I looked “deformed” in my eyes and became very self conscious. I didn’t go crazy and get a ridiculous augmentation, I went for what fit my body. 34B. Within 2 years, I was DX with Lupus. It had been ongoing all my life. I have noticed that it’s getting worse and I look ridiculous with these perky, bigger than 34B breasts as 55. No judgement on anyone else, it’s how I feel about ME. I want ME back. I’m calling my surgeon tomorrow and scheduling a consult. You’ve given me such inspiration and to just stumble upon your video is no coincidence. You are amazing and beautiful. Thank you again.
I loved watching your video, which was really hand because i watched it while i was getting ready to go to tbe hospital to have mine removed. You really helped me feel at ease and your video was so authentic and genuine. Im now almost 24 hours after my surgery and it was the best decision i could have made. Thank you so much for sharing x
Beautiful and meaningful day to come across this video! I have my consultation next week and Im so glad I watched this!
I've been following you since vine days. I never knew you had implants. But seeing your evolvement over the years is so inspiring. I'm glad that you are happy and free from your insecurities now. You're truly a beautiful person, Sophia.
You’re so brave for sharing-thank you💜 I suffer from body dysmorphia as well and have wanted to get my breast implants done for most of my late teens. This video helps to confirm that it would not be the best decision for my mind, body and soul. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
That was very moving, brought tears to my eyes. I'm really happy for you - that you've reclaimed yourself, your body, your true femininity. Thank you for sharing your story.
Loved this Sophia ❤. So happy for you. Hope you make more content soon, really struggle to find such good, soulful content on here.
What an amazing intro. I haven’t thought like that about the body but it actually is a miracle 🥰
deeply powerful and beautiful message here...realizing our worth NO MATTER WHAT, appreciating our bodies, respecting our journeys, loving ourselves so that we can put love into the world. thank you so much for sharing your story, sophia
Thank you so much for sharing this part of your journey with us. 🙏💗 Literally the part where you're standing in front of the mirror after the surgery made me tear up happy tears! So so happy and proud for you. I never thought I'd sit through and watch a video like this. But you're so inspiring, I truly appreciate your light you share with the world. 💗
What a beautiful, soulful, helpful, deep video to share with the world. Hope you're inner and outer healing is still going well. Others will surely benefit from your insights.
The intro is just so beautiful. I got teary eyed
Thank you so much, we need more of this in the world! I was thinking about a breast lift and then thought of the risks and the abuse of my perfectly functioning breasts, and after watching this I am even more sure. You help more than you will ever know by making this video. Much love to you ♥
This was really nice, I think that sometimes the only way to know what you need/want is to just make a decision, and if you realize you made the wrong decision then you are just one step closer towards the right decision.. no regrets, only learning, the definition of growing.
What a blessing for you to share the pain of your experience so others can avoid. This is a beautiful video. It is a gift. Thank you for sharing. You are brave and strong and intentional and I can't wait to see all the amazing light you bring to this world on your new journey!
You bring embracing your imperfections to another level, you cerebrate it.
I have a long way to go, but I can learn so much from you.
Thank you so much for this great video
Sending love from Gouda, The Netherlands
This is such a profound conversation to have. So important.
Your words moved me in such a deep way! You are absolutely beautiful within and out and I am proud of all the progress you have made with yourself ❤ I admire you!
Your body is literally so magical & sacred. Appreciate it & treat it as such! Give your body the time, energy, healthy food, & movement, & it will reward you & show you gratitude in the way you look, feel, and radiate! This video was such a great reminder
This is so refreshing to watch, embracing yourself for who you are, your real, natural self. What you did and what you said it's so powerful and empowering! Well done to you! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your journey with us, brave soul. Your voice is needed and so appreciated (as well as more doctors like Dr.Chopra). When I was in my early 20s I almost got breast implants but when it came time to do it, I couldn't go through with it. But even then I didn't love my breasts. It took almost a decade after that for me to not hide behind padded bras. I remember the first day I went out in public braless how free I felt, and how little anyone else actually cared. Now I love watching them change during different phases and how they feel because they're mine. What a beautiful journey this life is. Happy healing xx
the short song you sung in the beginning has been on repeat in my brain for 3 days now
I needed to hear this. Thank you for changing my perspective. You're so beautiful inside and out
.....huge congrats to being you again...a few years ago I cut out all my color and curiously decided to see my virgin hair...turned out it was dark and dramatic and I loved it...afterwords I decided to "simplify" and sort the things I no longer needed...my mantra was: "what essentials would I need on a desert island to feel free/beautiful/nourished..." so started the process of healing my everyday habits and only keeping my bliss front and center-still chipping away at anything that doesn't bring me peace...tmi but this exact vid is why I love you--you shine and are so inspiring...so ty...
Good for you girl!! Prayers for better health!! 🙏
You are a beam of light. I resonated with this on a spiritual level. Thank you for being the beautiful human that you are, inside and out. 🤍
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I have my surgery in May, and like you, (although I’ve had mine for 32 years), grateful and excited to be me again.
I love this ! Period. I may not be able to quit understand the full process of these things. But I do hope I can learn more through peoples experiences because they are so beautiful. This is life changing . Thank you for sharing
thank you so much for this video and sharing your thoughts. I cried because I thought about the things I dislike on my body and you opened up a new way of seing them for me 🍀
You are so so powerful in your voice and truth. You are magical. Thankyou, Sophia!!
Thank you Sophia for sharing your story and experience ❤️ Truly inspired me to love me for who I am ! 😘 we are all beautiful our own way 💕
I am so grateful to hear your story. I have had mine for almost 14 years now and want to do the explant ASAP. I did breast feed 3 children with breast implants and luckily they were able to go about 11 months - 1.5 years each. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏽
this was incredible in every way. thank you thank you a million times over. your soul is beautiful. this helped me tremendously. and i’m sure thousands of others
This made me cry. You are absolutely beautiful
Amazing! I’m so glad I came across your story. I struggle sometimes with my own breast size and thoughts of how a cosmetic procedure would change things. Deep down I know it’s not in line with my values but it was very refreshing to hear your story. I feel like I could relate a lot to what you said! I’m on my own journey finding confidence in my own body. I hope you feel better after having them removed and find more inner peace. Thank you!
So proud of you, you look beautiful !!
This is so special! You are so wonderful! Thank you for sharing your journey beautiful soul ❤️🙏🏾🕊
This is incredibly beautiful. So incredibly inspirational ❤ sharing your story and young people today getting to see this content is so so sooo important.
I’ve came across so many videos of removing breast implants and was never interested to watch bc I don’t have any so it didn’t pertain to me personally but I clicked on your video for whatever reason and it was the most beautiful thing I have seen in a while. The beginning of the video spoke to my soul, I’ve never heard someone explain what I’ve always felt, so thank you for reminding me how beautiful life is 💚
so happy for u you’re literally glowing!🤩 can maybe show us your skin care routine?
Love you woman! Thank you for sharing this. I’ve toyed with the idea of implants for most of my life. I am very small breasted but nursed my healthy son with the miracle of milk that is available to women no matter what size. You’ve helped me moved passed this idea always lurking in my psyche!!! Heal well my dear. Love and light 💕💕
You have me in tears, I had my explant today, you've just put all my feelings into words ❤❤❤
This was amazing and helps so much. Thank you for being open.
Sending you so much healing! I love you. Thank you. I also currently hate my smile/teeth … but I try everyday to fall in love with the imperfections… much respect to you!
You are an absolute story teller, it was great to hear, and by the way you look stunning, even way better without implants
