[@sierraschooley]

We ALL love you Sam, you're such a sweet and kind soul. Please take time and rest we'll all be here when you're back. Praying for safety and protection over your mind and body and healing through this time💕✨

[@BlondieBrunette14]

I have to admit I'm someone who has watched you since Tiktok, It always seemed like from the outside you had everything and your life was perfect. Just shows you never really know what's going on in someones life & it's your extremely positive and happy outlook on life that got you here to where you are today. Wishing you all the best xo

[@Ejeah_w]

Thankyou for sharing something so personal and brave. You really are an example to so many people. And I know it was hard. It may not seem like something. This journey that you went through and showcased is going to help a lot of people. And has changed my perspective on strength and perseverance. Im glad and happy that you are surrounded by so much love. It’s so beautiful to watch. You are such a beautiful person with a beautiful soul, and I’m sorry that you had to have the surgery. That is a hard thing to come to terms with. Best of luck with your healing.

[@sunflwrfields250]

You're allowed to cry, girl. It's a kind of grief. You've gone through a momentous change. There's relief, for your health, but you'll be grieving too. You'll get through this 💕 . I'm sorry you had to go through it though and for what happened to your aunt R.I.P. to her

I appreciate the support/motivation as a few months ago I got oral surgery as I was getting dentures at 36 years old and there were moments i was feeling sadness etc and I'm still getting used to putting my dentures in my mouth with the help of denture cream for long periods of times n I completely agree that eventually it'll take time

Knowledge is power, and that goes for everything that is known about the effects of implants as well, which surgeons rarely if ever discuss.

You are so strong! Thank you so much for sharing your story. I wish you the best recovery possible and I'm so glad you're glad you prevented what they detected was potentially coming! I had two surgeries in December so I feel for you. I think we're also curious about any other specifics you can share! Like what are you allowed / not allowed to do, how is the pain, what aesthetically did you get done? 💕💗🤗

Nice to see you again. ❤💛💚💙💜

[@kjn-v1m]

I literally just had a breast augmentation done Dec 19. 430 CC's. I also bought a wedge pillow and the pregnancy pillow for recovery and compression sports bra. (I am going to share my experience as I've heard the recovery is similar?) But the first week was horrible, not even chest pain wise, but my back was in so much pain from sleeping upright for the first week. My shoulder hurt so badly and back. I couldn't find relief. By the second week I started and was allowed to sleep on my back. I needed help to get up, but by the 3rd week things felt better. After the first week, keep moving (walk) to relieve swelling. Just have a good diet, walk and be kind to yourself. Thats the most important thing, be kind to yourself, let the swelling go down, time heals all wounds (breakups, recovery, literally anything - time heals). You got this don't worry, stay positive!

[@itssssj]

why would she get implants when they have a high risk for cancer/issues when that’s literally the whole reason she is going to get surgery. 🤦🏻

[@kjn-v1m]

@@itssssj breast implant illness is a grey area - there’s not too many cases with people getting breast implant illness. In which, if someone wants to get a breast augmentation, that’s something they’ll have to decide themselves and see if the pros outweighs the cons. I know a couple of people who have had breast cancer and got a DM, and then just got implants so that they can still feel like they have boobs. Again personal preference. Believe it or not a lot of people have breast augmentation. But in terms of recovery, they’re pretty similar:)
