my boobs are starting to get too small (again)
What has Carolina Gynning said about her breast implants?
In February 2022, Femina quoted Gynning explaining that she was starting to feel she needed a new round of implants: "pattarna börjar bli för små" ("my boobs are starting to get too small (again)"). A year later, Nyheter24 reported that she had already gone through with a new procedure, quoting her from her own podcast: "Dom var jävligt dyra. Man är nöjd med sitt köp. Jag är nöjd, men jag kände ju direkt att dom hade kunnat vara dubbelt så stora" ("They were damn expensive.

WhatsAppYou're happy with your purchase. I'm satisfied, but I immediately felt they could have been twice as big").
That is what we rely on here. Gynning has described having breast implants more than once over the years, but neither report gives an exact year for any individual procedure, and she did not name a surgeon, so this article does not guess at either. Where the text below explains the procedure, it describes breast augmentation in general, not her treatment.
Why talking about a second or third round matters
Most public conversations about breast implants focus on a single, one-time decision. Gynning's comments are different: she talks about implants as something she has revisited more than once, and about feeling, right after surgery, that she could have gone bigger.
More on this topic: Breast augmentation and mammoplasty with a natural result, Breast Lift (Mastopexy), Breast Reduction, Breast Augmentation in Dubai, Breast Implants in Calgary.
That is a genuinely useful piece of honesty, because it points to one of the most common sources of regret after augmentation — choosing a size that feels too conservative once the swelling settles and the new proportions become familiar.
It is also a reminder that implants are not usually a single lifetime decision. They are generally expected to last around 10–15 years, and preferences about size can change with time, weight, childbirth or simply how a person comes to see their own body — all reasons a second procedure is common and not unusual.

Choosing implant size: what the comments get right
Gynning's "could have been twice as big" comment highlights a real decision point at the consultation. Size is chosen together with the surgeon based on measurable factors, not simply by picking a number.
- Chest width and existing tissue
- Sets the realistic range an implant can sit within naturally
- Skin and tissue elasticity
- Affects how much volume the skin can support long term
- Lifestyle and clothing habits
- A size comfortable for sport and daily life, not only photos
- Surgeon's recommendation
- Balances the patient's wish with what will age well
Discussing the desired look in concrete terms at the consultation — including trying sizers — reduces exactly the kind of post-surgery "could have gone bigger" feeling Gynning described.
Preparing for breast augmentation
Augmentation suits healthy adults who understand that an implant changes volume and shape but will eventually need monitoring or, for some, replacement years down the line. Preparation includes blood tests, an ECG, a breast ultrasound and a review of current medication; blood thinners and hormonal treatments are usually paused beforehand in agreement with the doctor.
- Bring a clear idea of the result you want, described in concrete terms rather than only "bigger" or "smaller".
- Mention any previous breast surgery, since it can affect the surgical plan for a new procedure.
- Ask about the expected lifespan of the implants you are offered, so future check-ups or replacement are not a surprise.
Recovery after breast augmentation
The operation is done under general anaesthesia with one day in hospital afterwards. Discomfort is strongest for the first few days, after which most patients return to non-physical work within 7–14 days.
Lifting and raising the arms above shoulder height are avoided for about three weeks, fitness and swimming return after 4–6 weeks with a compression garment, and strength training resumes around three months once any tightness has settled.
How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia, surgery, one day in hospital afterwards.
- Days 1–3Discomfort and swelling are strongest; a compression garment is worn.
- Days 7–14Return to non-physical work; no heavy lifting or arms above shoulder height.
- Week 3Swelling continues to fade; scars start to form.
- Weeks 4–6Fitness, swimming and the pool return; compression garment is no longer needed.
- Around month 3Strength training resumes once tightness has fully settled.

To be clear: City Medical Centre has no connection with Carolina Gynning or her treatment. Her comments are simply a well-known, candid example of how feelings about implant size can change after surgery.
