girl, I've been following you for a bit now but I've never looked into your personal life and i just discovered you're 31 with a son?!? God, you look like you're 20 years old!! you're aging amazing christen!
The thing is most 30 yr olds look young. Unless you've been smoking snd sun batheing or drinking a lot or whatever you wont look old. Ageing happens starting from 40s, we are just used to seeing PREMATURE ageing.
Very informative!! I had silicone breast implants for almost 10 years. Mine were 160 CC's but were SO UNCOMFORTABLE!! A lot of hardness and pain. I knew immediately when I woke up from surgery that I had made a mistake, but people don't talk about regrets so I dealt with it. Mine became encapsulated within 6 months, and it was awful. I started thinking about getting them removed at that point, but again, I didn't know anyone who had ever had implants removed. Fast forward 9 years and I was sick and determined to get them removed. I found a wonderful surgeon and traveled to Ohio from NC to have the removal. It was a six hour surgery as they had leaked into my breast tissue and surrounding tissues. I am SO HAPPY that I got them removed!!! There was an immediate "freedom " from the local pain they had caused. And a few months after the removal, I was able to sleep on my stomach for the first time in 10 years!! I warn anyone who is thinking about IMPLANTS to STOP AND THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE. Find another way like fat transfer or inserts for your bra!! Seriously- for your HEALTH, listen to what Cristen is saying!! Do your research before putting any foreign body INSIDE your body. Thank you for this video. You have a great platform to educate women on the dangers of plastic surgery. I'm not against nips/tucks, just want women to be informed.
sweetpeace5 Hi. YES!!! Dr Feng was my Dr and she is the absolute BEST!!!!! Im actually at an appointment right now, but I would be happy to talk with you about my experience. If you want to give me your phone number, I can call you later tonight or tomorrow. I don't have access to a full size computer keyboard so it might be easier to talk . Looking forward to your reply!!!! Kim
purrsandwhispers Omg that’s amazing! I would love to discuss but don’t really want to put my phone number on RUclips😳I could talk tomorrow if you are willing to supply your email back here? I wish you could tell them to call me😀
sweetpeace5 Hi sweetpeace. I understand you not wanting to put your phone number on RUclips. I would like to talk with you though. Can you email me at purrsandwhispers@gmail.com and we can go from there. I would try to type more but I don’t have a full size keyboard, just the one on the phone so it makes it difficult for me as I think so much faster than I can type here. Please email me and we can talk privately about this delicate situation. I look forward to hearing from you!!! Kim
I was considering implants I'm a 32A small and have had 2 kids. I'm only 33 yrs old. But for some reason all the research I have done on implants scared me ..breast plant illnesses and cancer from it and having to invest every 8 to 10 years in money and surgery. I'm not sure it's worth it. I do feel like I'm too hippy to get foreign objects in my body..I felt like my body would reject it or they would ripple after so long since I have thinner tissue and skin. This makes me feel better seeing you tube stars actually do the opposite thing and tell the truth. I know everyone is different but our society is so focused on plastic surgery this is refreshing for a change. You look healthy and beautiful good for you!
Girl I guess I didn't pay attention to your chest lol I had no idea you had implants 😄 I have plenty of extra storage Dr. Barrett can put in my chest! This was exciting to watch the behind the scenes. Pleased everything went okay and most of all you are pleased with the results!
I totally know what you mean, after babies nothing is the same and there's definitely nothing wrong with wanting to feel comfortable in your body again. Just wish it didn't cost so much or that every doctor knew what they were doing. Glad everything turned out great for ya. God Bless.
I developed ALCL, Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Cancer stage 5 due to implants in 2014! on vacation in Hawaii, when a sunburn would not go away but kept getting worse (painful) and fluid filled my chest cavity. Came home had emergency aspiration done on chest wall and breasts **excruciating** 2 weeks later Dr. called with horrific news. I HAD CANCER! rare form with a T-cell caused by foreign objects (implants) another name is Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma Since mine was aggressive the prognosis was grim... Our Daughter was 8 at the time....I went through hell and back with Chop Chemo, Bone marrow, etc., etc...I survived it, but my dearest vlog friends from Germany and Budapest, Texas did not...34 yr. 33, 40. Now there is a FDA warning...I was 54th person in the US but the numbers have grown in the thousands now.... Thank you for having courage to coming on here. All I can say is love yourselves ladies with every cell of your being....
I'm happy that you are comfortable with your own skin. You are beautiful regardless, but as always it's so amazing that you are so real about your choices and also sharing such a personal decision with us is such a blessing of you. I hope it's informative for someone and helps someone take the step to being happy with their self image. I love you!
+Amanda04 You are so right. She is so insecure and that is why she did this. It is all about image on social media. What is this teaching young woman. To go get plastic surgery so you can look perfect!?!? So vain and so so so sad.
I think you made a wise decision taking them out, and finding a great doctor. Stay healthy, Christen! Your Quad family loves you and needs you!! God bless!
This is the video that made me love you!!! I like genuineness and when people be themselves and share something that’s been on a lot of our minds for ages. Like how do you look so perfect after having a kid etc. like it’s not all glam. You have mom problems just like all of us. Thanks for sharing this
You have so much courage to come forward and tell people about your surgery😍😍😍....not a lot of people are this brave..... This is why you are the best because you are transparent towards your viewers 👏👏👏....love you girl❤
My breast are extremely small (A-B) but I'm happy with them. Will never go for surgery coz I love natural beauty. However your story is so interesting and I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing this. You look so pretty.
Good for you sweetie. Your brave to do it. I'm scared to do it. Hard to breathe when you wake up after your surgery. My mom did her boob's and told me everything about it. She did it under her muscle. Looks amazing. Just can't do it. I agree with you girl. I'm a mother with 2 boys I breast feed them. My boob's are small my bra size is AA-A. I love them. Hard to get my bra size, but I don't care my husband loves them. I have a big butt that's all it matters. I'm Puerto Rican and Irish I'm happy with what I have..
Madoka Or Same! I have small breast! As long as it look fit & healthy i dont see any problem Mostly women get obsessed about big boobs but im strange! I dont care about boobs even when i was young teenage No one can ever changing my mind. Big booobs is beautiful sexy & medium size breast is beautiful & small handful breast is good as well IM NEVER FEEL SAD OR WHATEVER WHENEVER PEOPLE SAY I HAVE SMALL BOOBS EVEN MY SISTER OR FRIENDS jokes about it In not sensitive & feel down about it. Actually i think in long term my small boobs will not sagging & it still looks like youngful breast lolz so it good side lolz 😂
Good to see this explant shift or choosing against implants! There is a lifetime of breast implant surgeries ahead that isn't discussed... aged implant exchanges, capsular contractures, weighted implant breast lifts, plus numbness, etc (not to mention the possible BII health issues).
I know I've been watching only a year or so, but I honestly didn't know she was of an older age let alone have children; I swore she was early to mid twenties when watching, so I'm very impressed
When I had my implants my doctor was amazing he refused to go as big as I wanted to because I’m a small frame and I appreciate him so much now! You’re amazing and thank you for speaking about this!!
I think the best program on the internet on the Breast enlargement is *4BiggerBreast. Com* I personally Used this program and I got great results that’s why I am recommending this website to all you girls…..
Thank you so much for sharing your experience through this process. As a mother of 2 it can be discouraging to have your body change after the births so being able to hear other people's journeys helps a lot. You are so beautiful and have an amazing heart and are truly an inspiration. Thanks for all you do! 😄💕🙏
Thanks for putting this out there! I think its super important info. I was very top heavy and had to get a breast reduction. The way my boobs used to be, was incredibly uncomfortable and so heavy which lead to my bra straps being indented on my shoulders. After the surgery, it truly felt like a million pounds was gone. Then i had my daughter 2 years ago and maybe went up a cup. I can COMPLETELY relate to you in more ways than one. I sincerely hope you are recovering and that you show the Lemonade palette soon. Lol. Love you so much Christen 💜💜💜
I commend you for sharing your story. But I also want to let all the ladies out there know that everyone's breastfeeding Journey will end differently. I breastfed for nearly 4 years and the only thing that happened to my breast was that they got a lot smaller. I'm 28 years old and I'm a 32c now & my boobs are perky NOT Saggy at all. So there's a lot that has to do with how your boobs will end up. Including your weight gain and loss, genetics and your Skin's elasticity.. I don't want people to get scared of how their breasts will look after breastfeeding cuz not everyone will get the same result as Dominique. Much love and respect though.
You are such an inspiration, I swear!!! I wanna see Dr. Barrett (probably will never happen) , so he can make some adjustments it need to be done 😅 🙌 You look gorgeous and thank you for being confident and so open about this part of your personal life, so brave to share your story 💗
Great and informative video. I hope all young ladies contemplating breast augmentation get several consultations from different plastic surgeons. I have had a very positive experience with my implant surgery (post breastfeeding 4 children , 2 being twins!) and I made sure that the implants would be very appropriate for my body type and frame . Most people think my breast’s are my own..that they looked natural was very important to me and I made sure my surgeon and I were on the same page ! Surgery , even minor surgery comes with risks ! Do your research people , especially on finding a certified plastic surgeon 🙏🏼💜
“I had a baby 10 years ago.” Me: “Oh she had a baby.” *5 seconds later* Me: *“SHE HAD A BABY 10 YEARS AGO?!”* Bruh I thought she was in her early/mid twenties ???
I'm glad you are open about these things. So many people get crap from people for having surgery. But you're unapologetic. I love it. It's your body and you're doing what you want to make it how you want it. You look amazing. Much love 💝
I just went to Dr. Amjadi here in Houston, TX, and I feel exactly how you did, I got implants after I had my son, and this Dr said he would have just done a lift with a smaller implants, I use to be a 36 B and now im at a 38DD and my left breast is drooping just like a "dog ear" so yes im going to do the exact same thing you did, It's amazing how it's a small world and all of us can find someone that can relate to what we're going thru. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, AND I THINK NO MATTER WHAT DECISION YOU MAKE YOU ARE GORGEOUS AND WE LOVE YOU. Your son has the best Mom huge respect to you on making this decision you inspired me and im sure you do to others seeing this 🥰😍🤍💯
Any mom who's breastfed, myself included, knows the struggles you're referring to in this video. I'm really glad you posted this because as women our insecurities get the best of us and we have this idea of what we should look like, so we always want to make it better. Keeping your options open is a great idea, but like you said, if you're unhappy about something you're going to want to fix it and that's super relatable. I was a little unsure about my options, but after watching you and hearing you tell your story, I feel so much better about it. I'm so happy for you and you being my favorite RUclipsr has gave me hope and comfort that I don't think I would've found anywhere else. Thank you for sharing and being so transparent. You're going to reach so many people with this video and it will educate a lot of women (old and young) about a topic that is not discussed as much as it should be. Great job girl. 😘😊 💜❤💙💚💛💜❤💙💚💛
I really enjoyed this video and I want Dr.Barrett haha. You are so inspirational. I'm always scared of cosmetic surgeries because of situations like this. But I love how you took the time to share❤️💪🏼
I love that you talk about the “ugly” part that happens after the miracle of child birth. I have worked out and tried so many things, creams, and shakes. And my tummy is NOT where I want it to be. I was a super young mom so I feel like I completely lost out on the opportunity to have the “hot bod”. Ever since your tummy tuck, I’ve done major research on the surgery and it’ll be happening soon!!!! You are AMAZING inside and out
I'd also like to give props, where props are due.. I haven't seen my dad in a few months, and he's always been a critic of my makeup.. until now!! I recently visited my parents for dinner and he commented that this was, "the best he's ever seen my makeup".. and I let him know it's cause I have been using your Latte Palette!!!! I mix pumpkin spice with caramel (for the lid color), using my finger to add espresso to the middle of my lid. You really knocked it outta the park with this palette babe, know that. 🙌🏽❤️
Christen Dominique This formula is definitely one of the best... and the colors are so complementary, I cannot 😭 I think this is literally the best eye shadow I've ever come across. All your hard work and effort paid off girl!! 😘💜 love you! -danielle
Love your honesty. I have a friend that got implants went too big its 15+ years later & now she regrets it. There uneven & causing a lot of back pain. She's saving up to get them fixed. Naturally your a pretty girl & don't need anymore work done!!! 💕
I’m so happy you made this video because I have naturally large boobs and I have the same problem you had after you got your implants. And people always tell me “you’re so lucky” “why a reduction? Your boobs are perfect!” But I feel like I’m falling out of everything, I don’t like how it looks, and it’s a huge insecurity of mine. I’ve tried a lot, being active does nothing it only makes them “sag more” because I’m loosing weight and already have naturally large breasts. I feel a little more comfortable knowing other people feel the same way. Thanks for sharing Christen, this really meant a lot to me.
What an inspirational video! It must be very hard to open up about things like this, but you did! You’re honest about the fact that you did not like they way they looked and felt after surgery. I’m glad you feel more like yourself again, which is very important! You still look as beautifull as always, you go girl!
Thank you for your honesty and opening up about some really personal stuff. Talking about things that are taboo brings light to things that some of us are considering. If people we trust do not talk about it openly, many of us would make mistakes, like going to the wrong person based on price/not asking the right questions, yada yadda. Love you girl. SLAY QUEEN!
Christen you look amazing! Dr. Barrett work is impressive but breast surgery was pioneered in Houston. Most of the innovations still come from surgeons there. As you know, the medical center there is considered one of the best in the world. And it has some of the best surgeons globally in every field. To further the point, the best plastic surgery is actually in a little place call Brazil. Just a little FYI. I too work in LA in tv, and I don’t think it’s fair for people to believe that just because a doctor hangs his shingle in Beverly Hills, doesn’t make them the best in their field. Congrats 🎈 on your successful surgery. You look amazing!
I'm a Plastic Surgery nurse in another continent where cosmetic surgeries are rampant😁 thanks for letting us know your concerns---sometimes as medical practitioner, we tend to forget bout our patients' comfort and just follow our trusted instincts. This is a nice video you got.thanks
My skin is super loose no matter how much i workout, i had a child and I hate my skin. I wish I had the money to do something about it but sadly i cannot afford it. Its hard to like an outfit when you feel uncomfortable with your body 😭😭 you look amazing girl you are seriously goals!!!
wth i dont even notice you had implants. your body looks amazing itself! and wtf, you're a mom? omg i've been watching your videos but i didn't know that you're a mom... amazing
I work in an icu and we actually do procedures like this for breast cancer survivors, using your own fat and tissues for reconstruction which is amazing for ppl that don't want to go the implant route. Although it's a little more in depth since they take your vessels too to revascularize the area. Still so cool that these options are available and you're so awesome for feeling comfortable sharing your story with everyone. Love ya😘
I am so glad that you feel more confident now,I love my natural boobs,I am 34 big B almost C but not really and they are so easy,never back pains and its fun not to wear bra 🙃
Julia Katarina Karanović I just do it when I am around ,which is almost daily,I work from home....only wear a bra when I have to be out running errands or appointments,I normally wear bra tops from Victoria's secret that are like an under shirts,they are very comfortable and keep the girls in place without making any pressure under them,I hate bras lol and trust me my boobs aren't saggy or hanging low
Natalia Londono oh I didn‘t think yours were saggy, I think most people with a B have a nice shape to them. Probably even most people who have a small C. Sadly I never had that, I got boobs and they were always saggy, I have to wear an underwire bra and I hate it because it‘s the most uncomfortable thing that exists.
Julia Katarina Karanović yes girl,I totally understand,everyone is different,my mom had really big boobs and she used to tell me they were heavily uncomfortable,I am just glad I didn't inherit hers lol
I still can't believe you're already a mom for 10years,!!!! U always looks young and beautiful just like a girl about 20. Thanks for sharing this such personality things to us ,I think it's not easy to show out.we luv you
Oh my gosh, I wish I was a DD! Ever since I had my son I'm an 32H! 😣 I'm so going to get a breast reduction and I'm thrilled you are open enough to talk about yours! It's difficult finding others who are willing to talk about their surgeries. Thanks! 😙
I have been using this breast enhancement technique *4BiggerBreast. Com* twice a day for 2 months. I`ve noticed small effects. I already used a great number of products like this, but this is the only 1 that is beneficial in my situation. Even my partner was amazed by the end result. This system is definitely my sole favorite.
I'm so glad you shared your positive plastic surgery experience! I wish more people knew that THIS is what plastic surgery should look like and this is how you should feel afterwards. I also appreciate your honesty in not getting what you wanted the first time despite doing your research.
Love this!. I lost a breast to cancer and have not considered reconstructing yet. I think I'll take my time and really make sure I research all my options...thats scary to have an implant upside down. Yikes!
Yesenia Martinez I would honestly avoid using implants if at all possible. I’m 11 years sick & sorry as are many others. I’m so sorry about your cancer & that you are even in the position to have to figure this out. I wish you well in continued healing & on your journey as well as continued research guiding you to avoid implants as they come at a cost.❤️
Please, please consider looking into women who are or were extremely sick due to their implants. Alexandra's girly talk here on RUclips has a video on her experience. Wishing you the best, God bless!
I just wanted to say I really respect you for putting this all out there ♥️ Some people have a bad view on surgery...but it’s empowering to hear a woman basically say “I wanted something changed so I did it and I don’t care what anyone thinks!” Good for you! You are so beautiful and sincere!
Never would have guessed you had implants or had any struggles with your body; I just thought you were flawless...but you still are flawless, just more comfortable now. ☺
Thank you! I’m pregnant now and in a super competitive industry that focuses on physical appearance. I was thinking of getting my boobs done after kids but wanted to stay away from implants because of all the new research coming out about implant illness and cancers caused by implants. I’m definitely going to look into you doctor and this procedures. Your transparency saved me!
i love that you chose to share this experience with your subscribers. it's a very personal subject, but i think social media has a lot of girls/women thinking that plastic surgery is some quick, easy fix like makeup or a good hairdo. the reality is that complications can arise and it can make you feel/look worse, especially if you don't do your research. so glad you are finally happy with your boobs! you have always been the hottest mama on the block, but inner confidence is what's really important
When said you had a child, I was like oh he/she must be young like 4 maybe, since I’ve only been watching your Chanel for about a year. But when u said about 10 years ago I was like oh, so she was a teen mom? I just searched you up, you’re 31?! No way would I have guessed that, I thought u were 28 at the most!! You look great for your age, and it is good to no you’re comfortable now with your body xx
I work for a physical therapist who Mainly treats conditions surrounding breast cancer surgery and reconstructive surgery. Like limited mobility and Scar Tissue and shiny skin due to implants and or expanders. I would have to say about 90% of our patients who choose to have implants have complications. All having different Surgeons and implants.It's really opened my eyes to the reality of how invasive they can be. Of course it's everyone's own personal decision on what they choose but I'm always happy to see people that realize being comfortable and happy is important even if it's different from what society says you should choose. Or even if it means fixing a surgery you've had previously.
This made me cry honestly I'm having the same problems with my boobs sagging I was a 34b as well and since I had my daughter and have been breastfeeding I have nothing left thankyou for sharing this I don't feel alone and I feel better ❤️❤️
This is so fascinating! Thanks for handling something awkward and letting us in on what you went through. When he said the implant was upside down I about lost it...
congrats for speaking out the truth...so many other youtubers dont admit their surgeries... they keep saying about the 'genes' and girl I know it's all a lie cause I'm an mammo ray tech... I know all about boobs... why they do that? I mean if you dont want to talk about, it's ok, say nothing but dont lie..
I’m proud of you for sharing your story and being open with your followers! You are a beautiful person on the inside out and that’s what I’m a huge fan❤️ BTW I would use the implants for bean bag toss
I’m sorry you feel like breastfeeding ruined your breasts. I hear this all the time. I’m currently breastfeeding my second baby and I can honestly say the body I had before kids is long gone. Not because of pregnancy. But because I grew up and my body changed as I aged. I hope you can embrace your body now that your breasts are adjusted to your liking. ❤️
T K a lot of good tummy tuck scars are really close to the pubic area, as in underneath the top of a bikini bottom, so it’s not really appropriate to show in a video unless she wants to put it as mature content to prevent it getting flagged.t
i absolutely love that you’re so open and straight forward with your viewers and that you don’t give anybody any BS. i subscribed to your channel about a year and a half ago and i get super excited whenever i see that you posted something new! ❤️💪🏼
As someone that’s about to get a breast surgery in days this made me feel much better. My surgeon is Dr. Lynch in Lexington, KY and his personality and honesty reminds me of your surgeon. I’m much more at ease 😊
girl, I've been following you for a bit now but I've never looked into your personal life and i just discovered you're 31 with a son?!? God, you look like you're 20 years old!! you're aging amazing christen!
Ila1987 OMG SHE IS?
Ila1987 well if she has a 10 year old like she mentioned in this video she can’t be 20, can she?
name No I'm not saying she IS 20, I'm saying she looks like she's 20
The thing is most 30 yr olds look young. Unless you've been smoking snd sun batheing or drinking a lot or whatever you wont look old.
Ageing happens starting from 40s, we are just used to seeing PREMATURE ageing.
That’s what plastic surgery is for! Pump, slim and lift. Of course she looks younger to you!
Very informative!! I had silicone breast implants for almost 10 years. Mine were 160 CC's but were SO UNCOMFORTABLE!! A lot of hardness and pain.

purrsandwhispers Did you by chance see Dr Feng? I’m trying to get thru to them! How was your overall experience? Cost? Thanks for any feedback!
sweetpeace5 Hi. YES!!! Dr Feng was my Dr and she is the absolute
BEST!!!!! Im actually at an appointment right now, but I would be happy to talk with you about my experience. If you want to give me your phone number, I can call you later tonight or tomorrow. I don't have access to a full size computer keyboard so it might be easier to talk . Looking forward to your reply!!!! Kim

I was considering implants I'm a 32A small and have had 2 kids. I'm only 33 yrs old. But for some reason all the research I have done on implants scared me ..breast plant illnesses and cancer from it and having to invest every 8 to 10 years in money and surgery. I'm not sure it's worth it. I do feel like I'm too hippy to get foreign objects in my body..I felt like my body would reject it or they would ripple after so long since I have thinner tissue and skin. This makes me feel better seeing you tube stars actually do the opposite thing and tell the truth. I know everyone is different but our society is so focused on plastic surgery this is refreshing for a change. You look healthy and beautiful good for you!
Thank you for being honest about this. It makes you so much more of a trustworthy person 😍❤️❤️
You’re so beautiful Christen inside and out! You are goals!
Thank you my love!
You two should make a video together!
I can turn your comments likes into 1k
Girl I guess I didn't pay attention to your chest lol I had no idea you had implants 😄 I have plenty of extra storage Dr. Barrett can put in my chest! This was exciting to watch the behind the scenes. Pleased everything went okay and most of all you are pleased with the results!
This doctor is so cool.
you are right
Yup
I mean... Money
I totally know what you mean, after babies nothing is the same and there's definitely nothing wrong with wanting to feel comfortable in your body again. Just wish it didn't cost so much or that every doctor knew what they were doing. Glad everything turned out great for ya. God Bless.
I developed ALCL, Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Cancer stage 5 due to implants in 2014! on vacation in Hawaii, when a sunburn would not go away but kept getting worse (painful) and fluid filled my chest cavity. Came home had emergency aspiration done on chest wall and breasts **excruciating** 2 weeks later Dr. called with horrific news. I HAD CANCER! rare form with a T-cell caused by foreign objects (implants) another name is Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma Since mine was aggressive the prognosis was grim... Our Daughter was 8 at the time....I went through hell and back with Chop Chemo, Bone marrow, etc., etc...I survived it, but my dearest vlog friends from Germany and Budapest, Texas did not...34 yr. 33, 40.

All I can say is love yourselves ladies with every cell of your being....
Kennedysmommi I'm so glad you are doing okay! I wish more women could see your comment!!!
Suzi Farley thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing this. What a story, wow.
Thanks for sharing, your story will change lives
Omg that's terrible story I'm sorry for all this.
I'm happy that you are comfortable with your own skin. You are beautiful regardless, but as always it's so amazing that you are so real about your choices and also sharing such a personal decision with us is such a blessing of you. I hope it's informative for someone and helps someone take the step to being happy with their self image. I love you!
Krystal Kerns she wouldn't have gotten a breast implant or do other cosmetic surgery if she was comfortable with her own skin
+Amanda04
You are so right. She is so insecure and that is why she did this. It is all about image on social media. What is this teaching young woman. To go get plastic surgery so you can look perfect!?!? So vain and so so so sad.
I think you made a wise decision taking them out, and finding a great doctor. Stay healthy, Christen! Your Quad family loves you and needs you!! God bless!
A kid? 10 years ago?? You look so youthful I would have never guessed!! I love you and your personality!
This is the video that made me love you!!! I like genuineness and when people be themselves and share something that’s been on a lot of our minds for ages. Like how do you look so perfect after having a kid etc. like it’s not all glam. You have mom problems just like all of us. Thanks for sharing this
Thank you my love I’m happy you enjoyed hearing my story :)
You have so much courage to come forward and tell people about your surgery😍😍😍....not a lot of people are this brave..... This is why you are the best because you are transparent towards your viewers 👏👏👏....love you girl❤
My breast are extremely small (A-B) but I'm happy with them. Will never go for surgery coz I love natural beauty. However your story is so interesting and I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing this. You look so pretty.
Good for you sweetie. Your brave to do it. I'm scared to do it. Hard to breathe when you wake up after your surgery. My mom did her boob's and told me everything about it. She did it under her muscle. Looks amazing. Just can't do it.
I agree with you girl. I'm a mother with 2 boys I breast feed them. My boob's are small my bra size is AA-A. I love them. Hard to get my bra size, but I don't care my husband loves them. I have a big butt that's all it matters. I'm Puerto Rican and Irish I'm happy with what I have..
I actually love how your comment didn't shame anyone and still expressed your view on things.
Madoka Or
Same! I have small breast! As long as it look fit & healthy i dont see any problem
Mostly women get obsessed about big boobs but im strange! I dont care about boobs even when i was young teenage
No one can ever changing my mind.
Big booobs is beautiful sexy & medium size breast is beautiful & small handful breast is good as well
IM NEVER FEEL SAD OR WHATEVER WHENEVER PEOPLE SAY I HAVE SMALL BOOBS EVEN MY SISTER OR FRIENDS jokes about it
In not sensitive & feel down about it.
Actually i think in long term my small boobs will not sagging & it still looks like youngful breast lolz so it good side lolz 😂
T
lol you are not small if you are a B.
Proud of you for doing what makes you feel good and look good!
Good to see this explant shift or choosing against implants! There is a lifetime of breast implant surgeries ahead that isn't discussed... aged implant exchanges, capsular contractures, weighted implant breast lifts, plus numbness, etc (not to mention the possible BII health issues).
I know I've been watching only a year or so, but I honestly didn't know she was of an older age let alone have children; I swore she was early to mid twenties when watching, so I'm very impressed
When I had my implants my doctor was amazing he refused to go as big as I wanted to because I’m a small frame and I appreciate him so much now! You’re amazing and thank you for speaking about this!!
I think the best program on the internet on the Breast enlargement is *4BiggerBreast. Com* I personally Used this program and I got great results that’s why I am recommending this website to all you girls…..
I can relate with you. I have 2 kids and 🤱 them both. My body is not it’s used to be. I’m glad that you’re happy with your body now.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience through this process. As a mother of 2 it can be discouraging to have your body change after the births so being able to hear other people's journeys helps a lot. You are so beautiful and have an amazing heart and are truly an inspiration. Thanks for all you do! 😄💕🙏
Thanks for putting this out there! I think its super important info. I was very top heavy and had to get a breast reduction. The way my boobs used to be, was incredibly uncomfortable and so heavy which lead to my bra straps being indented on my shoulders. After the surgery, it truly felt like a million pounds was gone. Then i had my daughter 2 years ago and maybe went up a cup. I can COMPLETELY relate to you in more ways than one. I sincerely hope you are recovering and that you show the Lemonade palette soon. Lol. Love you so much Christen 💜💜💜
Love you girl! I’m happy you feel better now sometimes it’s very necessary to feel happy and live healthy 😘
Christen Dominique You hit the nail on the head! Love you so much. Hopefully, one day, you can come to Canada for a meet and greet. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
What was you experience getting breast reduction I'm very petite and am an F so I want to get reduction.
After watching this video , you made me feel more accepting about my body, thank you for being so honest !!! Not everyone can do the same! ❤️
Do a makeup tutorial where you use your implants as beauty blenders
Aleen A 😂😂😂
That will be an interesting and fun video hahaha!
Omg yassss
It would be hilarious but please don't 😂
Christen Dominique please don't
I commend you for sharing your story. But I also want to let all the ladies out there know that everyone's breastfeeding Journey will end differently. I breastfed for nearly 4 years and the only thing that happened to my breast was that they got a lot smaller. I'm 28 years old and I'm a 32c now & my boobs are perky NOT Saggy at all. So there's a lot that has to do with how your boobs will end up. Including your weight gain and loss, genetics and your Skin's elasticity.. I don't want people to get scared of how their breasts will look after breastfeeding cuz not everyone will get the same result as Dominique. Much love and respect though.
Understood but you're also not even 30 yet. Things might change at 40.
you right .i breast feed my son my boobs look good
Pregnancy actually does the majority of the damage.
Ever since you got your tummy tuck i’ve been following Dr Barrett and on Snapchat I just love him!! He does such great work!
jennybeYOUty whats his snap
Amor Vitae Dr. Daniel Barrett I believe
Amor Vitae jk its barrettDM
WTF is a tummy tuck. I just wanna know. Not here to judge
jennybeYOUty same! I’m addicted
You are such an inspiration, I swear!!! I wanna see Dr. Barrett (probably will never happen) , so he can make some adjustments it need to be done 😅 🙌
You look gorgeous and thank you for being confident and so open about this part of your personal life, so brave to share your story 💗
Thank you beautiful!
💗
v e r a i
You’re a mom?!!!!! ❤️
Great and informative video. I hope all young ladies contemplating breast augmentation get several consultations from different plastic surgeons. I have had a very positive experience with my implant surgery (post breastfeeding 4 children , 2 being twins!) and I made sure that the implants would be very appropriate for my body type and frame . Most people think my breast’s are my own..that they looked natural was very important to me and I made sure my surgeon and I were on the same page ! Surgery , even minor surgery comes with risks ! Do your research people , especially on finding a certified plastic surgeon 🙏🏼💜
“I had a baby 10 years ago.”
Me: “Oh she had a baby.”
*5 seconds later*
Me: *“SHE HAD A BABY 10 YEARS AGO?!”*
Bruh I thought she was in her early/mid twenties ???
Dachihaya How old is she?
sweet beautiful orbs 30 or 31
Mariya .s HOW omg she’s so lucky
Dachihaya Right? 😂😂😂
Damn she looks 17....I'm so shoked to know she even has one
I admire your honesty! Thanks for the info, very helpful.
I'm glad you are open about these things. So many people get crap from people for having surgery. But you're unapologetic. I love it. It's your body and you're doing what you want to make it how you want it. You look amazing. Much love
💝
Could you do a video about your tummy tuck? I've been considering one, but I'm terrified of the recovery process! 😘
Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I’d like to see that video
I just went to Dr. Amjadi here in Houston, TX, and I feel exactly how you did, I got implants after I had my son, and this Dr said he would have just done a lift with a smaller implants, I use to be a 36 B and now im at a 38DD and my left breast is drooping just like a "dog ear" so yes im going to do the exact same thing you did, It's amazing how it's a small world and all of us can find someone that can relate to what we're going thru. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, AND I THINK NO MATTER WHAT DECISION YOU MAKE YOU ARE GORGEOUS AND WE LOVE YOU. Your son has the best Mom huge respect to you on making this decision you inspired me and im sure you do to others seeing this 🥰😍🤍💯
You’re so beautiful inside and out x you don’t need any plastic surgery x
Beautiful inside and out!! Love you!
Love you friend!❤️
“Using my old breast implants to apply foundation” 😂😂😂😂
That’s my next video!!! 😝
Any mom who's breastfed, myself included, knows the struggles you're referring to in this video. I'm really glad you posted this because as women our insecurities get the best of us and we have this idea of what we should look like, so we always want to make it better. Keeping your options open is a great idea, but like you said, if you're unhappy about something you're going to want to fix it and that's super relatable. I was a little unsure about my options, but after watching you and hearing you tell your story, I feel so much better about it. I'm so happy for you and you being my favorite RUclipsr has gave me hope and comfort that I don't think I would've found anywhere else. Thank you for sharing and being so transparent. You're going to reach so many people with this video and it will educate a lot of women (old and young) about a topic that is not discussed as much as it should be. Great job girl. 😘😊
💜❤💙💚💛💜❤💙💚💛
I really enjoyed this video and I want Dr.Barrett haha. You are so inspirational. I'm always scared of cosmetic surgeries because of situations like this. But I love how you took the time to share❤️💪🏼
I love that you talk about the “ugly” part that happens after the miracle of child birth. I have worked out and tried so many things, creams, and shakes. And my tummy is NOT where I want it to be. I was a super young mom so I feel like I completely lost out on the opportunity to have the “hot bod”. Ever since your tummy tuck, I’ve done major research on the surgery and it’ll be happening soon!!!! You are AMAZING inside and out
I'd also like to give props, where props are due..
I haven't seen my dad in a few months, and he's always been a critic of my makeup.. until now!! I recently visited my parents for dinner and he commented that this was, "the best he's ever seen my makeup".. and I let him know it's cause I have been using your Latte Palette!!!!
I mix pumpkin spice with caramel (for the lid color), using my finger to add espresso to the middle of my lid.
You really knocked it outta the park with this palette babe, know that. 🙌🏽❤️
Thank you 🙏🏻 ☺️ I’m happy your enjoying the palette and it must mean something if your dad noticed🙌🏼😝
Christen Dominique This formula is definitely one of the best... and the colors are so complementary, I cannot 😭 I think this is literally the best eye shadow I've ever come across. All your hard work and effort paid off girl!! 😘💜 love you!
-danielle
Love your honesty. I have a friend that got implants went too big its 15+ years later & now she regrets it. There uneven & causing a lot of back pain. She's saving up to get them fixed. Naturally your a pretty girl & don't need anymore work done!!! 💕
I’m so happy that you’re feeling much more confident girl!💗
I’m so happy you made this video because I have naturally large boobs and I have the same problem you had after you got your implants. And people always tell me “you’re so lucky” “why a reduction? Your boobs are perfect!” But I feel like I’m falling out of everything, I don’t like how it looks, and it’s a huge insecurity of mine. I’ve tried a lot, being active does nothing it only makes them “sag more” because I’m loosing weight and already have naturally large breasts. I feel a little more comfortable knowing other people feel the same way. Thanks for sharing Christen, this really meant a lot to me.
Love you and I’m so happy that your surgery went well and u r happy with the results!!!
What an inspirational video! It must be very hard to open up about things like this, but you did! You’re honest about the fact that you did not like they way they looked and felt after surgery. I’m glad you feel more like yourself again, which is very important! You still look as beautifull as always, you go girl!
Thank you for your honesty and opening up about some really personal stuff. Talking about things that are taboo brings light to things that some of us are considering. If people we trust do not talk about it openly, many of us would make mistakes, like going to the wrong person based on price/not asking the right questions, yada yadda. Love you girl.
SLAY QUEEN!
Christen you look amazing! Dr. Barrett work is impressive but breast surgery was pioneered in Houston. Most of the innovations still come from surgeons there. As you know, the medical center there is considered one of the best in the world. And it has some of the best surgeons globally in every field. To further the point, the best plastic surgery is actually in a little place call Brazil. Just a little FYI. I too work in LA in tv, and I don’t think it’s fair for people to believe that just because a doctor hangs his shingle in Beverly Hills, doesn’t make them the best in their field. Congrats 🎈 on your successful surgery. You look amazing!
All girls deserve this surgery, specially mom's ♥️
I'm a Plastic Surgery nurse in another continent where cosmetic surgeries are rampant😁 thanks for letting us know your concerns---sometimes as medical practitioner, we tend to forget bout our patients' comfort and just follow our trusted instincts. This is a nice video you got.thanks
Wait the dr is dancing to 3 plus! I friggen loooooove that! Holy shit I need to meet him. Hawaiian girls know. 🙌🏾❤️
My skin is super loose no matter how much i workout, i had a child and I hate my skin. I wish I had the money to do something about it but sadly i cannot afford it. Its hard to like an outfit when you feel uncomfortable with your body 😭😭 you look amazing girl you are seriously goals!!!
wth i dont even notice you had implants. your body looks amazing itself! and wtf, you're a mom? omg i've been watching your videos but i didn't know that you're a mom... amazing
Lin Goh she’s a mom? 😱😱 now I appreciate her even more 💕
Lin Goh i know right? I’ve been here for 2 years and I didnt know she is a mom already!!!
She got her body done
I work in an icu and we actually do procedures like this for breast cancer survivors, using your own fat and tissues for reconstruction which is amazing for ppl that don't want to go the implant route. Although it's a little more in depth since they take your vessels too to revascularize the area. Still so cool that these options are available and you're so awesome for feeling comfortable sharing your story with everyone. Love ya😘
I am so glad that you feel more confident now,I love my natural boobs,I am 34 big B almost C but not really and they are so easy,never back pains and its fun not to wear bra 🙃
Natalia Londono how? I‘m a big bigger but I could‘t go outside without a bra 🙃
Julia Katarina Karanović I just do it when I am around ,which is almost daily,I work from home....only wear a bra when I have to be out running errands or appointments,I normally wear bra tops from Victoria's secret that are like an under shirts,they are very comfortable and keep the girls in place without making any pressure under them,I hate bras lol and trust me my boobs aren't saggy or hanging low
I would love that😭😭 I'm a 34 A, I don't want big boobs, I just want a B or C
Natalia Londono oh I didn‘t think yours were saggy, I think most people with a B have a nice shape to them. Probably even most people who have a small C.
Sadly I never had that, I got boobs and they were always saggy, I have to wear an underwire bra and I hate it because it‘s the most uncomfortable thing that exists.
Julia Katarina Karanović yes girl,I totally understand,everyone is different,my mom had really big boobs and she used to tell me they were heavily uncomfortable,I am just glad I didn't inherit hers lol
I still can't believe you're already a mom for 10years,!!!! U always looks young and beautiful just like a girl about 20. Thanks for sharing this such personality things to us ,I think it's not easy to show out.we luv you
this was so brave of you to post great video!!!
Maria Llavaneras agree!
I cancelled my implant surgery 2 weeks before THESE VIDEOS ARE THE BEST thanks so much for educating us
You should try and use the implants like a silisponge lol I love you so much
No matter what people say u r beautiful inside and out and u r more beautiful then ever
Ughhh I love you! And love how open you are. I can only imagine how hard it was to talk about this!
No drama. Pure honesty. I love you Christen. ❤
Oh my gosh, I wish I was a DD! Ever since I had my son I'm an 32H! 😣 I'm so going to get a breast reduction and I'm thrilled you are open enough to talk about yours! It's difficult finding others who are willing to talk about their surgeries. Thanks! 😙
Literally never realized she had implants..but she looks great either way 💗💗💗💗
I have been using this breast enhancement technique *4BiggerBreast. Com* twice a day for 2 months. I`ve noticed small effects. I already used a great number of products like this, but this is the only 1 that is beneficial in my situation. Even my partner was amazed by the end result. This system is definitely my sole favorite.
So glad your happy! All moms deserves this lol having kids changes your whole body! Of course worth it but still lol ❤️
I'm so glad you shared your positive plastic surgery experience! I wish more people knew that THIS is what plastic surgery should look like and this is how you should feel afterwards. I also appreciate your honesty in not getting what you wanted the first time despite doing your research.
Love this!. I lost a breast to cancer and have not considered reconstructing yet. I think I'll take my time and really make sure I research all my options...thats scary to have an implant upside down. Yikes!
Yesenia Martinez I would honestly avoid using implants if at all possible. I’m 11 years sick & sorry as are many others. I’m so sorry about your cancer & that you are even in the position to have to figure this out. I wish you well in continued healing & on your journey as well as continued research guiding you to avoid implants as they come at a cost.❤️
Please, please consider looking into women who are or were extremely sick due to their implants. Alexandra's girly talk here on RUclips has a video on her experience. Wishing you the best, God bless!
@@lg55015
Also Karissa Pukas has a video of her Breast implants making her sick.
I just wanted to say I really respect you for putting this all out there ♥️ Some people have a bad view on surgery...but it’s empowering to hear a woman basically say “I wanted something changed so I did it and I don’t care what anyone thinks!” Good for you! You are so beautiful and sincere!
Never would have guessed you had implants or had any struggles with your body; I just thought you were flawless...but you still are flawless, just more comfortable now. ☺
Thank you! I’m pregnant now and in a super competitive industry that focuses on physical appearance. I was thinking of getting my boobs done after kids but wanted to stay away from implants because of all the new research coming out about implant illness and cancers caused by implants. I’m definitely going to look into you doctor and this procedures. Your transparency saved me!
Use it as a silicone beauty blender
i love that you chose to share this experience with your subscribers. it's a very personal subject, but i think social media has a lot of girls/women thinking that plastic surgery is some quick, easy fix like makeup or a good hairdo. the reality is that complications can arise and it can make you feel/look worse, especially if you don't do your research. so glad you are finally happy with your boobs! you have always been the hottest mama on the block, but inner confidence is what's really important
Thank you for being so open and honest I love watching your vids.
Hello from Sydney Australia I hope you heal well and are back to normal fast
she is the only person i know that doesnt deny they had surgery! thank u so much for being confident enough to share this with everyone💘💘
I’ve been watching you for a couple of years now, and every time you say you’re from Houston, I love you even more!! ❤️❤️ #HoustonFam
🤠H-Town Proud
Christen Dominique Hell yeah! 🤟🏽😋
HONESTLY CAN'T GET OVER HOW STUNNING YOU ARE AND HOW AMAZING YOUR FIGURE IS AND HOW YOU'RE JUST A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE OUT
Can you do a video about your tummy tuck??? You look amazing! Love you, your channel and the Latte Palette so much
You are so brave Christen.. I mean you're already so beautiful and to be able to openly talk about your insecurities is just so inspirational..
When said you had a child, I was like oh he/she must be young like 4 maybe, since I’ve only been watching your Chanel for about a year. But when u said about 10 years ago I was like oh, so she was a teen mom? I just searched you up, you’re 31?! No way would I have guessed that, I thought u were 28 at the most!! You look great for your age, and it is good to no you’re comfortable now with your body xx
You look great Christen! So many are trying to get bigger sizes and here you are wanting to be a smaller size, bravo!!
This is a very body positive video. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Lol you asked what we would use them for . To funny!
I work for a physical therapist who Mainly treats conditions surrounding breast cancer surgery and reconstructive surgery. Like limited mobility and Scar Tissue and shiny skin due to implants and or expanders. I would have to say about 90% of our patients who choose to have implants have complications. All having different Surgeons and implants.It's really opened my eyes to the reality of how invasive they can be. Of course it's everyone's own personal decision on what they choose but I'm always happy to see people that realize being comfortable and happy is important even if it's different from what society says you should choose. Or even if it means fixing a surgery you've had previously.
Side boob goals 😂😂😂😂 I died
Stacie Kreider 😂 I thought I was the only one who thought that was a little funny
This made me cry honestly I'm having the same problems with my boobs sagging I was a 34b as well and since I had my daughter and have been breastfeeding I have nothing left thankyou for sharing this I don't feel alone and I feel better ❤️❤️
I feel you...I’m a natural DDD and nothing fits right and the back pain is terrible
I know!! 😭
Saneeee the pain!!
Same!
I love your comfort in front of the camera and how well you reviewed this! You are articulate, to the point, and overall just do such a good job!
I have very asymmetrical, tuberous breast and I’ve been looking for a good doctor for a while now. Thank you for that video ❤️
I wish I could afford a breast lift. Two kids later I am relating to that tennis ball comment😩
NYMusic89563 After sometime the Breast bounces back
Girl. I feeeeel you. I have 3 kids. The youngest is 4. They are just sad. Lol. I'm ready to get them fixed. I'm a 36 DDD... They need help. Haha.
Oh baby I know I have 2 kids I'm a 36DD titties like to tickle my belly button lol
Aww I love Dr. Barrett & Rosalyn!
I can’t believe your a mother.. you look so so amazing and I would never have thought you was a mother!! I bet your an amazing one!xxx
so happy for you that your surgery went well Chris ❤️❤️❤️ the most important thing is to feel satisfied and am soo happy to see you that way ❤️❤️
This is so fascinating! Thanks for handling something awkward and letting us in on what you went through. When he said the implant was upside down I about lost it...
Love you so so so much Christen. I am your die heart fan. Love you so much😊
congrats for speaking out the truth...so many other youtubers dont admit their surgeries... they keep saying about the 'genes' and girl I know it's all a lie cause I'm an mammo ray tech... I know all about boobs... why they do that? I mean if you dont want to talk about, it's ok, say nothing but dont lie..
I’m proud of you for sharing your story and being open with your followers! You are a beautiful person on the inside out and that’s what I’m a huge fan❤️
BTW I would use the implants for bean bag toss
Omg lol yess a bean bag toss😂
I’m sorry you feel like breastfeeding ruined your breasts. I hear this all the time. I’m currently breastfeeding my second baby and I can honestly say the body I had before kids is long gone. Not because of pregnancy. But because I grew up and my body changed as I aged. I hope you can embrace your body now that your breasts are adjusted to your liking. ❤️
can you pleeeeease talk about your tummy tuck experience???? im terrified. i would love to see the scar as well if its possible =)
T K a lot of good tummy tuck scars are really close to the pubic area, as in underneath the top of a bikini bottom, so it’s not really appropriate to show in a video unless she wants to put it as mature content to prevent it getting flagged.t
i absolutely love that you’re so open and straight forward with your viewers and that you don’t give anybody any BS. i subscribed to your channel about a year and a half ago and i get super excited whenever i see that you posted something new! ❤️💪🏼
The sock with the ball in it is literally the perfect reference ! Lmao
As someone that’s about to get a breast surgery in days this made me feel much better. My surgeon is Dr. Lynch in Lexington, KY and his personality and honesty reminds me of your surgeon. I’m much more at ease 😊
