WhatsAppThat is all this article relies on. In telling that story, Merlano confirmed in her own words that she has breast implants, but she did not give a date for the original surgery, name a clinic or a surgeon, or describe the technique used. We do not guess at any of that. Where the text below explains breast augmentation and recovery, it describes the procedure in general, not her treatment.
Why her openness matters
Merlano is known for speaking bluntly about her own life on camera, and this anecdote is no exception: rather than deny or avoid the subject of her implants, she confirmed them herself, in passing, while telling an unrelated story.
More on this topic: Breast augmentation and mammoplasty with a natural result, Breast Reduction, Breast Augmentation with Implants, Breast Augmentation in Dubai, Breast Implants in Calgary.
That kind of casual confirmation, without staging or a planned announcement, is a straightforward way for a public figure to be upfront about a procedure many people choose and few discuss so directly. This article does not comment on her appearance or judge her choice; the point is only that she spoke about it in her own words.

How breast augmentation is done today
Breast augmentation places a silicone implant through a small incision, usually along the fold under the breast, to increase size and improve shape and symmetry. The implant can sit either above or below the chest muscle, and comes in different shapes (round or anatomical) and surface textures, chosen together with the surgeon based on the patient's anatomy and goals.
Subglandular (above the muscle)
- How it works
- Implant sits between the breast tissue and the chest muscle
- Typically chosen when
- There is enough natural breast tissue to cover the implant
Submuscular (under the muscle)
- How it works
- Implant sits partly or fully beneath the chest muscle
- Typically chosen when
- Thinner natural tissue, for a more gradual transition at the upper pole
The operation is performed under general anaesthesia. An implant can rupture or become damaged years after surgery, from an impact or significant pressure on the chest, which is the kind of situation Merlano described; a ruptured implant should be assessed by a surgeon rather than left unchecked.
Who is a candidate, and how to prepare
Breast augmentation suits adult women who want larger, more symmetrical or firmer-looking breasts, including after breastfeeding or weight changes, as well as those who need to replace a damaged or ruptured implant. Contraindications include being under 18, pregnancy and breastfeeding, uncontrolled chronic disease, blood clotting disorders and active infection.
- A health screening is required beforehand, including blood tests and, depending on age, a mammogram or breast ultrasound.
- Smoking and blood-thinning medication are usually paused for two weeks before surgery, only under medical supervision.
- Implant size and placement are decided together with the surgeon after examining breast tissue, skin elasticity and the patient's goals.
What recovery looks like
After surgery under general anaesthesia the patient typically stays one day in hospital, and a compression garment and surgical bra are worn afterwards to support healing. Most patients return to office work without physical exertion after 7–14 days.
Around 3 weeks, post-operative swelling eases and scars start to form; lifting over 3 kg and raising the arms above shoulder level are avoided during this period. By 1 month the breasts take on a more natural shape and softness. Fitness, swimming, pools and the sea are usually allowed again at 4–6 weeks, once the compression garment comes off, and by 3 months remaining discomfort has typically disappeared and strength training can resume. Patients are followed up over about a year until the final result settles.
How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia, implant placed; one day in hospital.
- First daysCompression garment and surgical bra worn to support healing.
- 7–14 daysReturn to work without physical exertion.
