What did Chloe Brockett say about her boob job?
Chloe Brockett went into her breast augmentation with her eyes open, and she made that clear from the start. As The Sun reported on 4 November 2020, she said: “It's not a decision I made lightly.” Her goal was proportion, not a number: the 19-year-old star explained that she felt flat-chested compared to her curvy lower half and wanted a more hourglass figure.

WhatsAppShe also gave her followers the technical details most celebrities keep vague: “I was a small C cup and my implants were 355cc which will take me to a large DD hopefully.” And then came the part nobody glamourises — the first days, when the anaesthetic fades. “The pain has got worse because the morphine is out of my system now,” she told fans, adding that the discomfort was manageable but “my boobs are literally rock hard. Hopefully they will soften up soon.”
That is what this article relies on: her quoted words in the report. Everything below describes breast augmentation in general, not her treatment.
Why her account matters
Chloe Brockett's documentation covers the three facts a patient most needs. First, the decision is deliberate: “not a decision I made lightly” is the right mindset, and the proportion-based goal — matching the chest to a curvier lower half — is exactly how surgeons frame good plans.

Second, the specifics she shared are what a consultation produces: cup size today, implant volume in cc, cup size expected. Numbers like 355cc mean something concrete, and patients who understand them can have a far better conversation about results than those who arrive asking simply for "bigger".
Third, her recovery notes are honest medicine. Rock-hard implants in the first days are normal — the tissue is swollen and the implants sit high before they settle — and softening takes weeks to months. Knowing that in advance turns a frightening morning into a predictable stage.
How a breast augmentation is done today
A breast augmentation restores or adds volume with implants and can correct shape and asymmetry. Implant size, profile and shape are chosen with the surgeon based on anatomy and the result the patient wants. Implants differ in material (silicone looks most natural), shape (round or anatomical), surface and profile; incisions are placed in hidden areas and scars fade over 6 to 12 months.
Breast augmentation with implants
- Main goal
- More volume, shape correction
- When it is considered
- Low volume, volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, asymmetry
Breast lift with implants
- Main goal
- Volume plus lifted position
- When it is considered
- Volume loss together with marked skin laxity
Implant exchange
- Main goal
- New size, profile or technology
- When it is considered
- Ageing implants or a change of aesthetic goal
The right combination is chosen at the consultation, not from a celebrity story.
Who is a candidate and how to prepare
A candidate is an adult in stable health whose weight has settled. Contraindications include active infection, pregnancy and breastfeeding, severe heart or lung disease, blood clotting disorders and anything that rules out safe general anaesthesia.
- Think in cc, not cups: implant volume is the surgeon's working unit, and understanding it — as Chloe Brockett showed — makes the plan concrete.
- Bring your medical history, including previous operations and medicines; the surgeon decides which tests are needed.
- Prepare for the settling period: hardness and high placement in the first weeks soften with time; your surgeon will show you what to expect.
What recovery looks like
The patient spends a day in the clinic after surgery. Moderate discomfort in the first one to three days is normal and eases clearly by day 5–7 — the stage Chloe Brockett described as the morphine wearing off. Most people go back to work without physical strain after 7–14 days. For three weeks there is no lifting over 3 kg and no raising the arms above shoulder level.
Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks; swimming and fitness usually return then, strength training after about three months. Swelling settles in about a month, the implants soften and drop into position over the first weeks to months, and full recovery takes 3–6 months. The timeline below shows the usual stages.
How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia; one day in the inpatient ward under round-the-clock care.
- Days 1–7Moderate discomfort as the anaesthetic wears off; implants feel firm and sit high — this softens.
- Days 7–14Return to work without physical exertion.
- 3 weeksSwelling goes down; no lifting over 3 kg, arms below shoulder level.
- 4–6 weeksCompression garments are no longer needed; swimming and fitness.
- 3 monthsDiscomfort is gone, the implants have settled and softened; strength training is possible.

Frequently asked questions
Did Chloe Brockett have a boob job?
Yes. The TOWIE star had breast augmentation in November 2020, going from a small C cup to a large DD with 355cc implants, as she told The Sun.
What did Chloe Brockett say about the first days?
She said "the pain has got worse because the morphine is out of my system now", that the discomfort was manageable, and that her boobs were "literally rock hard" but would hopefully "soften up soon".
Why do breast implants feel hard at first?
Swelling and the position of fresh implants make them feel firm and sit high for the first weeks. They soften and settle into place over weeks to months as the tissue relaxes.
What does implant volume in cc mean?
It is the implant's volume in cubic centimetres — the figure surgeons use to plan the result. 355cc, Chloe Brockett's choice, is a moderate volume that took her from a C to a DD cup.
How much does a breast augmentation cost at City Medical Centre?
The price is $4,700, including anaesthesia, the inpatient stay with meals, dressings and a year of check-ups. It is confirmed in the contract after a free consultation.
