Actress-model Sherlyn Chopra has undergone surgery to remove her breast implants each weighing 825g, she said, reminding her followers to not feel pressured by social media to alter their bodies.
Chopra previously said that the silicone implants caused her persistent discomfort and chronic pain.
In a video shared on Instagram on Saturday, the 38-year-old said, “Ye bhaari bojh mere seene se hatt chuke hai. 825 grams each. I feel light as a butterfly. Desh ke yuva peedi se meri guzaarish hai ki social media par wrongly influence ho kar external validation paane ki chahat mein apne body ke sath koi khiulvaad na kare”.
“Aapko jo bhi karwana ho, uske pros and cons ko consider kar ke, apne family aur medical experts ke sath in-depth discussions kare. Koi jaldbaaki na kare. Bheed ka hissa bilkul na bane. Apni authenticity aur realness ki hifaazat kare,” she added.
Netizens were all praises for Sherlyn on social media. “More power to you. So much proud of you,” one of them wrote. “Sis your heart is pure that's why you can share on social media what is happening in your life. Proud of you sis. May God bless you,” another commented.
Sherlyn also penned a note alongside the video. “I strongly believe that there’s absolutely no point in living life with excess baggage!!! That’s my personal opinion.. To each his own…Huge thanks to my team of highly skilled doctors for my breast implant removal / breast explant surgery,” she wrote.
A day ago, she shared another update, writing, “Silicon Free!!! On the road to healing & recovery…Feeling much lighter after the removal of my breast implants, which weighed 825 grams each.”
The announcement came days after she opened up about going through months of chronic back, chest and shoulder pain. After several consultations with doctors, Sherlyn said that she realised that the pain arose from her silicone implants that she had installed early on in her career.
