Irish influencer Lisa Jordan has revealed that she’s had her breast implants removed.

The mother-of-two went under the knife when she was young, but after about two years of having her new boobs – she started to regret the procedure.

In a refreshingly honest post on Instagram, Lisa shared a photo of her holding her old implants, and wrote: “A very personal post for you tonight but I really feel my story could potentially make someone think twice about changing themselves.”

“As a teenager I was I wanted big boobs, I remember constantly looking at myself and feeling so insecure that they were small. I would see girls in magazines, papers and on tv all with big chests and I wanted to look like that.”

“In the 2000s big boobs were the bum and lips craze of today. So I went off and had my boobs done. The first year or two I was so happy, I felt more secure but after that I began to really dislike them,” Lisa explained.

“If you’ve been following me over the years, you’ll know how much I’ve openly spoke about how much I regret getting them done as they had such a negative effect on my mental and physical health.

“These days I feel cosmetic procedures are spoke about online in such a positive light, ‘go and get it done’ way, which is fine (I’m not bashing anyone who does this one bit), but I feel like no one talks about the negatives? I can’t be alone?”

“Did you know breast implants have been linked to causing problems in (some) patients where the body’s immune system reacts to the implants (it’s called BII — breast implant illness), and although I hated them more so because of how they looked on my small frame, I was also suffering different symptoms from BII that has only come to light in the last few years.”

Lisa continued: “I’m not here trying to put anyone off the idea of getting implants, it’s a very personal choice, nor am I trying to scare who has them or change anyone’s mind but I just want to be truthful about my journey and say honestly, ‘I WISH I NEVER GOT THEM’.

“I don’t want girls to look at me and think oh I love her boobs, I’m going to get mine done, when the truth is I absolutely hated them. I wanted them gone for the last decade but I was afraid of having the operation.

“So.. last week I had them removed (explant surgery, I paid in full in a hospital not a clinic). I am so happy being back to my natural self. I already feel physically and emotionally better. I understand some people do it for medical reasons or may just want their boobs bigger or higher, etc and that’s absolutely fine.

“I’m really not trying to discredit implants (lots of my friends have them and love them), but there can be some side effects and I’ve always been honest about my journey so it’s important that I share this too.”

“More than anything I just want to get a message out to the girl who may be feeling insecure about her boobs and is considering changing them, I just want you to know that I was you, I felt how you’re feeling, but after I look back now — I truthfully wish I never changed them.”

“Luckily for me, I learned my mistake soon after and never went near my body EVER again with any cosmetic procedures. It was my first ONLY and my last.Sometimes far away hills seem greener, in my case my hills were lovely and green, I was just too busy looking at others!”

“So please research every bit about it (what implant they are using, what size will suit, can you breast feed, thankfully I was able to BF both my girls but again that wasn’t something I asked back then).

She added: “Like I said, lots of girls love theirs, everyone is different but for me it wasn’t the right choice. Thank you for reading my story.”
