Losing followers doesn\u2019t come as a shock.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cI built my following based on that one single message of loving your natural body, your flat chest, especially. A big part of my following followed me for that message.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dao amassed almost eight million followers on social media, frequently posting about her smaller chest and her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-body\/pictures\/body-positive-celebrities-share-wisdom-inspiring-quotes-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">journey to self-acceptance<\/a>. Dao underwent the cosmetic procedure in March, costing her $3,398.56 \u2014 and admitted that the backlash from her following has been \u201cpretty brutal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore, when I did flat chest content, most of the hate came from guys, saying you look like a guy, you look ugly, you\u2019re like a piece of wood. Now my hate comes from women, saying you\u2019re a hypocrite, you\u2019re so fake. A lot of people won\u2019t understand. I accept that I won\u2019t be understood by most people, especially my fans,\u201d she said. \u201cThe first video I made was about doing what you love.

In Asia, people are a lot more image-focused. They want you to show the best version of yourself, no flaws, especially online. When I first started social media and showed my flat chest, showed my imperfections, belly rolls, acne, skin texture, my family was against that for a very long time. But I never really listened to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dao, who went from a bra size 32AA to a 32C, said she\u2019s \u201cloving\u201d her new look and doesn\u2019t regret getting the implants.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__thumbnail related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/from-alix-earle-to-remi-bader-influencers-arent-relatable-anymore\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article__content\">\n<h3 class=\"article__title\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__title-link related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/from-alix-earle-to-remi-bader-influencers-arent-relatable-anymore\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"related-badge\">Related: <\/span><span class=\"related-title\">From Alix Earle to Remi Bader: Influencers Aren\u2019t Relatable Anymore<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\u201cGet ready with me for the first day of classes at U Miami,\u201d a 21-year-old Alix Earle told her 1 million\u2013ish followers in a 2022 TikTok \u2014 an introduction that became synonymous with the influencer\u2019s confessional beauty-centered style that contributed to her meteoric rise to content creator fame.
