This transformation has been six years in the making, beginning after I left a relationship that I now realize was holding me back. At the time, I didn’t truly value or love myself — but everything changed once I made the decision to start choosing me.
In 2019, I had gastric sleeve surgery and successfully lost 150 pounds, keeping the weight off ever since. In 2021, I underwent body contouring procedures, and just a month ago, I completed the final step in my journey with facial cosmetic surgery. After the weight loss, my face had sagged, and I felt I had missed out on the youthful version of myself — so I decided to reclaim it.
Altogether, my surgical journey has included a belt lipectomy, torso liposuction, breast lift with implants, lip lift, rhinoplasty, canthoplasty, midface lift, brow lift, and fat grafting to the cheeks.
All of the photos I’ve shared were taken before my gastric sleeve. I began this journey at 23, and now at 29, I finally feel like I’m living as the version of myself I always envisioned. I hope my story inspires others who are just beginning theirs.
