I've read about the consequences of getting your breasts removed. Doesn't sound at all like celebrating to me.

Do you remember where you read that? I'd love some trustworthy sources to share with those who say "who cares and it's reversable anyway (implants), at least you can't get breast cancer"

For general stuff you can find it on any page discussing mastectomies for breast cancer https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/mastectomy/about/pac-20394670

I've heard of transmen losing nipples and/or losing sensation too.

Also, obviously implants cannot breastfeed an infant, nor can they restore sensation for the woman. They create the appearance of breasts, that's it.
