What did Bianca Ingrosso say about her breast surgery?
The Swedish influencer and entrepreneur Bianca Ingrosso confirmed in a YouTube video in 2022 that she had had breast surgery. As Metro Mode summarised on 21 May 2025, she explained that she had had large breasts before taking part in “Let's Dance” in 2016, that the intensive training made her lose a lot of weight and that her breasts “completely disappeared”. She said: “I just wanted to get back what I had had before, what I was comfortable with.”

WhatsAppShe did not rush. As Nyheter24 reported on 23 September 2024, she said: “I had been thinking about operating on my breasts for a long time, but I promised myself that I would wait five years. If I still wanted the operation after five years, then I would do something about it.” Her advice to others was just as direct: “It is super important that you don't go to just any clinic. That determines how the scars turn out, how the breasts fall and so on.”
She has also been honest about recovery. In the 2022 video she described the pain as “pain at a high level”, and on Snapchat in 2025 she wrote about leaving the clinic with “the craziest pain of my life”, adding that she fainted when she first tried to stand up.
That is all we rely on here. The clinic and surgeon are not named in this article, and beyond what she said we do not guess at the method or implants. Where the text below explains methods and recovery, it describes breast augmentation in general, not her treatment.
What her words mean for anyone considering surgery
Three things in Ingrosso's account are worth keeping. The first is the five-year rule she set herself: a long pause is a simple way to check that a wish is stable and not a reaction to a hard period. The second is her reason, which was about restoring something she had lost after a big change in weight, not about copying anyone.
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.
The third is her insistence on choosing the clinic carefully, because the surgeon's skill decides how scars and shape turn out.
Her openness about pain is useful too. The first days after an augmentation can hurt more than people expect, and it is better to know that in advance and plan for help at home. Nothing in this article judges anyone's appearance; the point is the decision and how carefully it is made.

How breast augmentation is done today
Breast augmentation places an implant behind the breast tissue or behind the chest muscle to add or restore volume. It is done under general anaesthesia, usually takes 1.5–3 hours, and the patient normally spends one day in hospital. The main decisions about the implant are made together with the surgeon at the consultation:
Filling
- Options
- Silicone or saline
- What it affects
- How the implant feels and behaves
Shape
- Options
- Round or anatomical
- What it affects
- Fullness of the upper part of the breast
Surface
- Options
- Smooth or textured
- What it affects
- How the implant sits in the tissue
Size and profile
- Options
- Chosen with the surgeon
- What it affects
- Volume and projection in proportion to the body
Implants usually last about 10–15 years before they need replacing, so a further operation later in life should be expected. That is worth discussing openly at the very first consultation, together with where the scars will be and how the chosen size fits the patient's frame.
Who is a candidate and how to prepare
A good candidate is an adult in stable health with realistic expectations and a clear personal reason for the operation. After childbirth, surgeons recommend waiting at least 6–12 months after the birth and after breastfeeding has ended, so that the breasts have settled.
Before surgery the clinic asks for blood tests, a coagulation panel, infection tests, an ECG, a chest X-ray and a breast ultrasound. Aspirin-type drugs, steroids and hormonal drugs are stopped in agreement with the doctor; oral contraceptives are usually paused at least a month before.
Like any operation, augmentation carries risks, and the surgeon explains them in advance: hematoma, seroma, infection, changes in nipple sensitivity, capsular contracture, asymmetry, wound separation and tissue necrosis. A good consultation leaves time for questions and does not push anyone towards a decision.
What recovery looks like
Moderate discomfort is normal for the first one to three days and eases noticeably by days five to seven. Non-physical work is usually possible after 7–14 days, walks after one to two weeks, fitness and swimming after four to six weeks, and strength training after three months. A compression garment is worn for four to six weeks.
Swelling settles in about a month, full recovery takes three to six months, scars fade over 6–12 months, and sensitivity usually returns within 3–12 months.
As Ingrosso's story shows, the first time getting up after surgery can make you dizzy, so it should be done slowly and with someone nearby.
How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia, 1.5–3 hours in theatre, then one day in hospital.
- Days 1–3Moderate discomfort, controlled with prescribed painkillers; compression garment on.
- Days 5–14Discomfort eases; non-physical work is usually possible after 7–14 days.
- Weeks 4–6Swelling has largely settled; fitness and swimming return; the compression garment comes off.
- Month 3Strength training is allowed again.
- Months 3–12Full recovery at 3–6 months; scars fade and sensitivity usually returns within a year.
