Meet 29-Year-Old Woman Who Removed Her Two Breasts, Says She’s More Confident(See Photos Here)

A 29-year-old woman who underwent a double mastectomy has revealed she is now more confident than she used to be, adding that she goes out in public without a bra and, sometimes, completely topless.

When Stephanie Germino, from Florida, was told there was a mutation in her BRCA1 gene, which meant she had an 87 per cent risk of developing breast cancer, she was shocked.

In a bid to avoid getting the deadly illness, the mom made the brave decision to undergo a double mastectomy, where both breasts were removed, and refused a reconstruction.

Now, the influencer, who boasts more than 1.5 million followers on TikTok is using social media to share her story, raise awareness of the procedure, and detail her newfound ‘freedom.’

The 29-year-old has revealed she is more confident now, adding that she goes out in public without a bra and, sometimes, completely topless.

In a YouTube video published on Shera, a digital platform dedicated to empowering women, the 29-year-old revealed she was much more confident in her skin now than she was before the mastectomy.

Stephanie revealed the positive aspects of having a double mastectomy, including the ‘freedom’ of not having to wear a bra and going topless in public.

‘I’m 100 per cent more confident in my body now than I was pre-surgery, as I never loved my breasts when I had them,‘ She said.

‘They weren’t my source of femininity and I do get stares when I’m out topless in public, but nobody has ever come up to me being rude – it’s always positive.’

She explained that she was overjoyed to finally throw out her bras, although it took her some time to get adjusted to her new body.

‘I absolutely love the fact that I don’t have to wear bras ever again, as there’s something about being bare. It did take me a minute to finally get rid of my bra, but I threw the wire bra out immediately,’ Stephanie said.

‘My sports bra though, that’s more or less what I use on a day-to-day basis.

‘It’s cute, faithful and I questioned whether I should keep it so I did, as it’s a reminder of the bright side.’

Stephanie, who is mom to six-year-old Josiah, claimed she knew from the age of 15 that she was a potential carrier of the mutation due to both her mom and grandmother having the same gene.
