So, before she was 20, she got two boob jobs and now she sorely regrets them for so many reaasons.

“If you’re considering a breast augmentation, here are five reasons why I regret my boob job," confessed Nasrin Truong (@rinitruong).

If she could turn back the clock, these are things she wished she could have told her "younger self."

Reason 1: They were too big for her body

"I went way too big for my body," she said, and everything was out of proportion.

"I was 5’ 7” and 120 pounds, and I was starting with an A-cup. I was super-skinny and tiny, and I wanted star-size t*tties.

“I thought they were going to be the best. I thought I was going to be so happy and confident. And that was not the case."

The reality was exactly the opposite for her.

Reason 2: Unwanted attention

Bigger boobs brought her all the wrong sort of attention and she didn't like it.

"I got a lot of unwanted and unwarranted male attention," she said.

"The catcalling just anything and everything that had to do with men commenting on my body and making me feel uncomfortable in my own body."

The catcalling was on a "whole other level," she wrote.

“I had never experienced it as someone who had a big chest before."

Reason 3: Ongoing maintenance

She had not anticipated this either: “I will have to continue getting more boob jobs not only for maintenance every ten or 20 years, but because I had to get my second one so that I could go smaller."

Even then, she could not return to her original size because her skin had already stretched too much.

“I couldn’t even go as small as I wanted to because they had gone so big and my surgeon recommended me not to go super small."

Her mom had had a boob job when she was younger and knew the form.

She had urged her daughter to avoid huge breasts: “She said 'You’re going to regret it.'

"And she was right. I did regret it."

Reason 4: Wardrobe issues

This was a frustration for her. There were so many items she could no longer wear because of her boob job.

And even wearing the simplest of outfits drew the wrong sort of attention.

“I cannot wear a basic T-shirt and jeans without looking provocative or, in my mom’s words, ‘sexy.’

“She’s always saying, ‘why are you dressed so sexy?’ I’m wearing a T-shirt. Does it look like I’m trying to be sexy?" she said with exasperation.

Reason 5: Permanent scarring

This was another issue she did not anticipate. She's having to live with it, but it makes her uncomfortable.

"I don’t like that I have permanent scarring," she said. "I have steroid shots in my scars underneath my boobs and those flatten them out but I don’t like the scars."

Before she finished, she added another real concern for her: "I'm constantly worried about breast implant illness. I haven’t noticed any symptoms but it scares and worries me."

Her mom's experience, however, reassures her. She has not suffered from any illnesses from her boob job.

But there was gratitude from one commenter: "Thank you for this video.”
