YouTuber Trisha Paytas shares health fears in candid message to fans
Trisha Paytas has urged fans to think twice about undergoing plastic surgery
Trisha Paytas has warned her followers to reconsider cosmetic surgery, claiming her breast implants are 'slowly' killing her.
The social media personality believes she's equipped to counsel young women about the personal consequences of plastic surgery because she has "done it all."
Trisha has undergone procedures ranging from a breast lift to liposuction on her arms, back and tummy, plus a Brazilian bum lift.
In a recent YouTube video titled 'You don't need the implants, babe', the mother-of-three declared: "I've done it all, which kind of gives me a little bit of a perspective from an older sister, or literal mum, expertise if you will."
She detailed her own connection with cosmetic procedures, revealing: "I've been thinking about implants since I was like 10 or 11, because I had really uneven boobs in school," reports OK!
Her self-consciousness was amplified by the noughties' beauty ideals, which promoted women with ample busts as the perfect standard. Trisha acknowledges she idolised figures like Pamela Anderson and Dolly Parton, and underwent her initial procedure with these stars in mind.
Once she began earning from digital content, the podcast presenter plunged into the realm of plastic surgery.
"I couldn't afford them [the implants] until I was about 20 years old, thanks to YouTube. I started YouTube and I started making money and I was like 'Oh my god, the first thing I'm buying is implants,'" she admitted in the clip.
"I did love them, I'm not going to lie. I thought I was the s*** when I got them, I thought that I looked so good," Trisha added.
However, the 37-year-old is now having her implants taken out and hopes to "de-influence" her millions of followers from going under the knife for breast enhancement surgery.
She disclosed her personal battles, stating: "Honestly, I would live the rest of my life with these awful implants that are sagging down, but I do think they're slowly killing me.
"There is a thing called breast implant illness out there. I have not been diagnosed, but I have done plenty of research and I have talked to so many people, as well, who have explanted and have similar symptoms [to her].
"And they said they felt immediately better once their implants were removed."
Later in the candid video, Trisha revealed she's no longer willing to put her life at risk for cosmetic surgery because she has three children depending on her.
Nevertheless, the reality star is going through with this "final" operation because she suspects the implants might be damaging her wellbeing.
In a heartfelt message to supporters, the American star said: "I would really, really recommend, before getting implants at any age, [to consider if] you really, really, really want them."
