On TikTok, the 24-year-old showed off before-and-after snaps of her breast implants. Post operation, her boobs swamped her dainty frame.
This led to her branding the decision her "biggest regret". So in a bid to change her body back to its petite size, she decided to get the implants taken out.
This procedure typically involves a surgeon making an incision through the breast augmentation scar and taking the implant out, according to Karidis.
The final result showed her with a slightly fuller bust than her original size, minus the artificial enhancements. Stunned TikTok users took to the comments section to offer Tilly support – with many saying she looks amazing as she is.
One user quizzed: "That's before? Why get them done? Holy heck," while another chimed in noting: "You're perfect." Appreciative of her candidness, a third admirer gushed: "Good for you."
Meanwhile, others asked questions about going under the knife. A commenter wrote: "Wait did you experience nausea after you got them done? I want mine done but I've heard u get super sick after."
Brutally honest with her response, Tilly cautioned: "Don't do it."
