The implants were responsible for her chronic pain
She further revealed, "After a series of medical investigations and back-and-forth consultations, I have realized that the cause of my chronic pain has been my heavy breast implants." "In my best interests, and to bring back agility, vitality, and stamina into my life, I have decided to have my breast implants removed once and for all."

Chopra shared a video on Instagram before her surgery, expressing mixed feelings of nervousness and excitement. "Am I nervous? A little....excited? Immensely. I cannot wait to start a brand new life with no excess baggage," she said in the video.

Netizens praised her for choosing authenticity over validation
Chopra's decision to remove her breast implants has sparked discussions about body image, cosmetic procedures, and self-acceptance. Many netizens praised her vulnerability and courage. One follower wrote, "I feel so good to hear this...No one can imagine the pain and trauma that goes behind to meet that idealistic standards."

Post-surgery update
Feeling lighter, says Chopra post-surgery
Chopra later shared a post-surgery update on Instagram stories, asking her fans to pray for her. "Feeling lighter," she wrote in the caption. Meanwhile, Dr. Shraddha Deshpande, a plastic reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon, told Indian Express that larger breast implants can cause back, neck, and chest pain due to added weight on the body's natural structure. These symptoms are common among individuals with oversized implants.
