Just nine weeks after undergoing a breast augmentation, Molly sat down with Alex for the latest episode of the Konfidence with Alex Karidis podcast. She discussed her motivation for surgery; after years of bulking and cutting as a bodybuilder, Molly’s breasts lacked fullness and volume and were far from her preferred aesthetic for larger breasts.
Alex: Now, you’ve had some surgery fairly recently.
Molly: Yes, nine weeks ago. I had a breast augmentation or a boob job.
Alex: The decision-making process probably goes back a while. Most people don’t suddenly wake up one morning and say, I want a boob job, right? I’m sure there’s a background story.
Molly: My background story goes back a long, long time ago. My mother would tell this story about how I used to tell her at night as a child that I really hoped I would get big boobs one day. So there was clearly always something in me that ached for breasts. Anyway, luckily, puberty hit, and I did get my boobs, but I always wanted larger breasts.
Even through my teenage years, I’ve always really liked the aesthetic of breast implants. It’s something I’ve always wanted for myself. And then, you know, I put it to the back of my mind for various reasons. I was off studying at university and travelling the world. So logistically, it wasn’t something I had time for if you think of everything that’s involved in the aftercare and the surgical procedure.
Alex: So, for the benefit of your listeners, you developed but didn’t quite develop as much as you imagined you would or give the proportions and image that you wanted.
Molly: Yes, correct. Despite not being, you know, terribly unhappy with the breasts that I had developed, they weren’t what I longed for. I’m very athletic; I move a lot, and movement has always been a big part of my life. About four years ago, I entered the realm of bodybuilding. So obviously, your body changes in dramatic ways when you’re going through the cycle of what’s commonly known as bulking and cutting.
So, as you bulk, you build your muscle, you eat more, and there’s a little more body fat on you. And when you cut, you lose body fat from everywhere. Obviously, breast tissue being, you know, comprised of fat, I lost all of my breast tissue and was left with what I refer to as skin flaps instead of boobs.
And then as I left bodybuilding and put on a healthy weight, my breasts were never the same. They had lost an awful lot of fullness from the upper part.
I found that quite difficult because it is one thing, leaving bodybuilding and seeing your body change and getting comfortable in your new body. And then, you know, having always longed for a certain aesthetic for my breasts and really being very, very far away from that aesthetic. At this point, I started properly considering breast augmentation.
