And that's one thing. You were never pushy about a surgery or anything like that. And I had listened to your podcast. I did a deep dive on your social media, even started following some of your clients to just follow their journey. But I knew because I had done everything, I sent you all my tests, I had done everything I could to try and figure out what was wrong. And once I finally realized that it has to be these implants, I just knew that they had to come out, and I wanted the best to take them out. And I wasn't even that worried about the aesthetic. Like, oh, I'm not going to have big breasts anymore. I'm still young. I'm 30 right now. I'm not going to have these big breasts anymore. I was really working on mindset, and I kept telling myself through my journey, through meditation, through breath work, I started doing daily breath work, daily meditation, which really helped me get super in tune with my body. And I just felt my body was really telling me it's time to get rid of them. And I'm trying to think back now. My brain just started going somewhere else. But when I first met you, I knew that I didn't care how they looked after. I just knew that in my mind, I wanted to be healthy. I wanted my body healthy. And I kept saying, I'm doing this for my body. My body's going to thank me. My body's going to be healthy after the surgery. So I didn't want to fixate on, I'm not going to have big breasts anymore. I'm not going to look a certain way, I'm not going to have the double Ds, I'm not not going to have cleavage. I just really focused on my health. And I knew I spent most of my 20s so sick. Even though you're in your 20s, you're supposed to be in your prime having fun. Now I say my 30s are going to be my prime, and I'm going to get another chance. But I wasn't really focused on the esthetic, so I just knew that I wanted them out. My husband and I are trying to conceive. We don't have any kids yet. So the thought of doing a lift or a fat transfer just didn't make sense to me. I said I could always do a lift after. And that's what we talked about too, is, is how I just really wanted them out. I wanted them to look decent. They didn't have to be perfect, which, the outcome, they look phenomenal. And I didn't really remember what I looked like because I was in my early 20s and I didn't really remember what my chest looked like, what they felt like before implants. So then I tried to find all photos and I said, if I can look like that again, that's awesome. But if not, I'm still going to learn to love my body too, no matter what.
