Did Bibi Claßen have breast surgery? Yes, and she showed the scar herself

She posted an unedited photo that still clearly showed her scar and explained her aftercare: “Man sieht sie immer noch ziemlich dolle, finde ich. Ist aber zum Glück nicht hart geworden und hatte auch keine anderen Probleme mit den Narben. Habe sie die ersten zweieinhalb Monate nach der OP jeden Tag mindestens zweimal mit einer speziellen Narbensalbe massiert” (“You can still see it pretty clearly, I think. Luckily it hasn't become hard, and I had no other problems with the scars. I massaged them with a special scar ointment at least twice a day for the first two and a half months after the operation”).

That is all this article relies on. Bibi Claßen did not name a clinic, a surgeon, implant size or technique, so this article does not guess at them. Where the text below explains the operation and recovery, it describes breast augmentation in general, not her treatment.

That is a more useful kind of openness than a simple before-and-after, because it shows that scars do not disappear on their own schedule and that a visible scar more than half a year later is not a sign that something went wrong. This article does not comment on her appearance; the point is only that she chose to show and explain rather than hide it.

Implants last about 10–15 years before they need replacement. Which option fits depends on the anatomy and on the patient's goals, so the choice is made at the consultation, not from a celebrity's story.

Before surgery, patients have blood tests, a coagulation panel, infection tests, an ECG, a chest X-ray and a breast ultrasound; blood-thinning medicines, steroids and hormonal drugs, including oral contraceptives, are stopped beforehand in agreement with the doctor.

Possible complications include hematoma, seroma, infection, changes in nipple sensitivity, capsular contracture, asymmetry and wound separation, including visible scarring like the kind Bibi Claßen described managing. The surgeon explains these before any date is booked.

Scars, as Bibi Claßen's own experience shows, take time: they can still look dark and raised at several months and keep fading gradually well beyond that, which is why surgeons recommend scar massage with a dedicated ointment for the first two to three months, exactly the routine she described.

To be clear: City Medical Centre has no connection with Bibi Claßen or her treatment. Her story is simply a well-known example of someone who talked openly, scars included, about the operation.
