In January 2021, Starsiak toldPeoplethat post-surgery was the hardest part of the procedure.

“I felt like an alien because I had drains to collect this bloody goo.

It’s like you’re peeing and having your period all at the same time,” she said.

Even after she was well into the recovery stage, getting back to normal was a roller coaster.

But the next day would be dramatically different.

As Starsiak shared on Instagram post-op, her decision to undergo the surgery paid off.

“I feel like I am myself again & I feel strong,” shetoldher followers.

We’re happy for you, Mina, you look spectacular.

Do what makes you feel happy, strong, loved… whatever that looks like.

And own it."
