Social media star Sia Cooper is well-known for her Instagram profile boasting 1.2 million followers (you have 110% seen her feed-good comments on the photos of every celebrity you follow) and her mega-successful blog, Diary of a Fit Mommy.
In recent months, the 29-year-old fitness blogger has been open about her desire to have her breast implants removed, holding them responsible for her extreme fatigue, exhaustion, hair loss and weight gain.
Sia had her implants removed last week and this week shared a confronting photo of herself post-op, holding up her silicon implants.
“This past week, I’ve been sore, but have felt incredible,” she captioned the photo.
“I feel freer than I have in so long. I thought I would cry seeing my new breasts, but I haven’t. It feels amazing to be smaller again and they fit my body. I never thought I would say this, but I love my new (old) self. Crazy that it took me all of this running around to get back to this point. You truly don’t appreciate your health until it’s been compromised.”
In another post, Sia said she has already noticed a different since her implants – which weighed almost a kilogram – were removed including improvements in breathing and less inflammation.
Speaking to Mamamia in September, Sia said she was encouraged to have her breast augmentation at the age of 21 by her ex-husband but as she grew older, the initial self-confidence boost she felt “turned into another self-esteem blow”.
“As the years went on, I realised that after having my breasts done, I would pick apart NEW areas on my body that I felt ‘needed work’ such as my nose, butt, lips, etc. The augmentation is the only thing I’ve had done. I still feel like plastic surgery makes you crave more and can be addictive.
“I loved my breasts after the augmentation, but it had me picking myself apart in other areas and body dysmorphia was already something I struggled with since my early teen years.”
Sia’s body changed after her two children, and thanks to the lessons she learned as a mother, surrounding herself with people who build her up and her “incredibly supportive” second husband, Sia learned to love it just the way it was.
“My children saw me in this natural light that nobody else does … They look up to me as if I’m the best thing ever. I had to realise this and practice a sort of mantra I share with my kids and others: ‘You’re beautiful from the inside out’. It is so important to focus on how your body works rather than how you think it looks.
“Kids do not spend minutes or hours looking in a mirror wishing they appeared differently. They are happy as they are! We need to be more like this!
“My nose was something I struggled with for most of my life. When I saw my daughter had MY nose, I stopped considering rhinoplasty. Why would I want to change something that resembled my daughter?”
The Food and Drug Administration in the United States has agreed to a public meeting of medical advisors in 2019 to discuss the safety of silicone breast implants.
In the largest study of long-term safety outcomes for patients with breast implants, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center found that silicone implants are associated with some rare diseases, autoimmune disorders and other conditions, although a causative relationship has not been established.
