I had a boob job – I thought big boobs would make me feel sexy and confident but I was so wrong
A GLASGOW influencer has revealed she regrets going under the knife to get big boobs – and urged women to think carefully before any cosmetic surgery.
Abbie Blyth boasts 287,000 followers on Instagram (@abbieblyth) and gives fans a sneak peek at her everyday life and enviable wardrobe.
The 28-year-old – who has her own fashion label, BLY – regularly flaunts her flawless figure in glam outfits.
But she said she’s not always been happy with her looks and admitted she “naively” turned to plastic surgery to boost her confidence.
Speaking on BBC series The Agency: Unfiltered, Abbie said: “I definitely don’t think my boob job experience has been plain sailing.
“I think when I first got this done even though I’d thought about it for years, I’d wanted it done since I was 17/18, I’d naively thought get big implants and I’m going to feel all sexy, I’m going to feel like a woman, I’m going to feel amazing.
“On my part, quite naive to think that getting plastic surgery was going to overnight fix all these problems that I had.
“I think it took a lot of time for me mentally to fix those problems.
“I’d always been really insecure when I’d take my clothes off. I’d never felt happy with what I’d seen. Quite naively thought that would be a quick fix and the answer to all my problems.”
She added: “So I decided that the big boobs weren’t for me and I got the implants out and got an uplift and smaller implants in for a little bit of fullness.
“Now that I’ve had the implants a lot smaller and the lift, when I take my clothes off I’m like ‘this is how I should have felt, this is what I should have asked for’.”
Abbie allowed cameras to follow her to a check up appointment with specialists to make sure her latest surgery had been a success.
Medics examined her scars and offered advice on how to make sure her skin heals as fully as possible.
And while she is delighted with her latest results, Abbie admitted the whole experience has been an “eye opener”.
She added: “You have to have a hard think about your reasons for getting surgery.
“In a way it’s been a blessing because it’s opened my eyes and made me appreciate just the way I look and embracing having lumps and bumps, boobs, and the rest of it.”
