<p>Even before he made his acting debut in ABS-CBN’s Made For YouTube anthology series <em>Love Bites</em> last month, former <em>That’s My Tomboy </em>contestant Concon Felix went through a surgery that changed his life last year when he decided to have his breasts removed. He shared details of his surgery journey in a vlog last December.</p><p>“Hindi ito isang bagay na pag-iisipan mo lang overnight. Isang bagay ito na pag-iisipan mo buong buhay mo,” he shared. </p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/9/22/fresh-scoops/director-dado-lumibao-is-proud-of-his-new-series-202559"><u><strong>READ: Director Dado Lumibao is proud of his new series ‘Love Bites’: ‘Mas magiging positive ka sa buhay’</strong></u></a></div><p>Last seen as a That’s My Tomboy grand finalist in 2020, Concon (real name Gracelle Felix) also shared his reasons for going under the knife last December.</p><p>“Una sa lahat, gusto ko talaga ito. Matagal ko siyang pinag-isipan and gustong gusto ko talaga. Gusto ko mawala yung boobs ko. Yun yung pinaka una kong rason and ayokong magpaka-plastic sa inyo kasi yun nga talaga yung gusto ko.</p><p>“Second is lagi kong iniipit yung boobs ko and ayoko dumating sa point na magkaroon ng bukol. Kasi may mga kilala ako na may bukol na yung boobs nila kakaipit ng boobs nila. And worse, nagkakaroon pa ng breast cancer. So ayokong mangyari yun.</p><p>“Third is body dysphoria. Hindi ako masaya na meron nito. I think ito yung nag-ho-hold back sa akin. Wala akong self-confidence. Iba yung feeling kapag may body dysphoria ka eh. And the fourth one is yung trauma. Ayoko na i-explain sa inyo kung bakit ako merong trauma sa boobs pero siguro yung iba sa inyo alam na yan.</p><p>“The fifth one is yung posture ko. Hindi okay yung posture ko kung mapapansin niyo sa mga videos ko dahil lagi kong iniipit yung boobs ko, Hindi ako comfy. And after ng surgery ko, kapag magaling na ako, ang next na gagawin ko is chiro(practor),” he shared in his vlog. </p><blockquote class="instagram-media"
