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.

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.

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.

[@fallwhispers07]

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...

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❤️

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’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.

[@melaninmonroeeee]

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.

[@elizabethmacdonald96]

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

[@yasiem6245]

Did she said everybody? No. Stop projecting your insecure thoughts on her.

[@tutosasa6463]

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 🤷‍♀️

[@kyleighjeffrey2564]

@@yasiem6245 I’m definitely not. I have never gotten any work done. 🤣

[@petergabriel4828]

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.

[@melissamacdonald1811]

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!

[@AngelaCeorgoveanu]

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 🙌🏼

[@SavannahGohrmann]

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

[@harleysiling1029]

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.

[@KyCandicee]

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 💖

[@tara_ir]

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.

[@taylorhagen6305]

I agree !

[@Grayyy__]

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.

[@AJTheYoung]

@@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

[@rekaszumbaparty]

​@@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.

[@Grayyy__]

@@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.

[@juliaz9843]

your journey is sooo inspiring! thank you for letting it be a testimony for us ✨✨💛

[@pinkpop37]

So how is your nose any different?

[@MC-143]

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 🙏🏼

[@unelson]

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.

[@chelsiezahn5940]

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! ❤

[@1776rights]

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

[@retrorenegade1967]

Catholics are Christians. We are the first and oldest Church.

[@zebrasbean2385]

As a Muslim I’m so glad you found faith in god , may Allah swt guide you

[@Beandal]

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.

[@anaisc6678]

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.

[@Valraquel1257]

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 KZbinrs but now even more!! Can’t wait for your new content to come!

[@AaronL2327]

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.

[@allyparker5127]

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).

[@htesfaye9521]

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😊

[@rachelanita]

I appreciate you sharing your story Alana -- I've been watching you for years. I would like to say something about Christ and speaking about Him in this way. I was born and raised in a non-denominational Christian church. We were a living body -- not an organization, not a religion -- meant to solely be about bringing Christ back and living for Him. Unfortunately, many people, including myself, have ended with religious trauma because no church is perfect, no pastor is perfect, and many of us feel like we were abandoned by God. In fact, I'm in a group dedicated to recovering from religious trauma -- there are unfortunately, many of us. I'm glad you are having a good experience with Jesus; I am so happy for you, but I would caution you to look into religious trauma so as to be aware about how /some/ people feel about proselytizing. I myself am happy for you, but am angry at God for certain things, and that is valid and my reality. I'd encourage you to speak your love for Christ while also acknowledging that others have had different, even traumatic, experiences, and that that is okay too. I'd encourage you to learn from your elders or pastors about how to speak knowing that there are people who feel like they've been hurt by God listening -- so that you can still possibly reach them.

[@amarisofficial]

Ooft. As someone with religious trauma I couldn’t agree more.

[@christyjoseph8514]

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. ❤

[@alabastercutie55]

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. ❤

[@merkitten953]

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 :)

[@IM_MARCELLA]

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 KZbinrs :’) But overall i have never seen her healthy and happy like this before and I’m happy for her 🙏🏻

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! ❤

[@mrsdiaz614]

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.

[@katiekryptonite89]

What about your nose? Was that “disfigurement” and defiling your natural body also?

[@dianemarie8542]

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. ❤

[@mrobinson8759]

Not here to comment on your new found faith or change in attitude. But wanted to say to stop judging yourself. I’m sure it has been painful to see the “aftermath” but at the time, that is what you wanted and you were happy with it. That’s okay. You’re not a bad person, you weren’t dumb. You just want different now.

[@margaretdujardin8864]

Would she have removed them if there wasn’t any pain? Why would the scars bother her if she’s on this new spiritual journey. Girl was ready to marry every other guy she was dating until they acted crazy 🙄

[@morgan2690]

I'm so proud of you for talking about this and being honest with your feelings and your past. I think it's going to help so many people who are struggling with the same thoughts you were struggling with before, also help offset the many people online who are trying to diminish the seriousness of this procedure. Self acceptance is the most amazing thing someone can experience, and I can tell you're really on the brink of flourishing as your true self.

[@jennie_gossi04]

Ive been watching Alana for years and in these past couple of months I’ve seen her grow and change so much !! I feel like her whole mindset and mentally changed ! Much love !!

[@georgiarose2594]

Girl, same. A medical doctor suggested I get them when I was 17 years old (I got them at 19), they both ruptured without me knowing and leaked poison into my body for God knows how many years until my health was so bad, I could barely walk a few meters (among dozens of other health problems). I finally had life-saving surgery a year and a half ago, and I am still recovering now. For anyone thinking about getting implants, please look up Breast Implant Illness and honestly, please pray. Even if you don't believe, just pray. God created us all perfectly, let's not allow the medical industrial complex to brutalise us for profit any longer.

Stay strong in your foundation and God bless you and Tim.

[@CookieFridays]

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

[@Lovergirl88]

You are so beautiful internally Alana and I’m so proud of you for waking up! Your future is bright. We all make mistakes when we are young and impressionable. Don’t beat yourself up. Don’t beat yourself up.
