Honestly, it was more painful than a C-section. After the C-section I could get up right away; after the breast surgery I couldn't do anything. But you endure everything when you want something. I don't regret it, it all turned out great and I'm very happy.

What did Ella Dvornik say about her breast surgery?

The Croatian influencer and singer has talked about it more than once. In a video in October 2021 she explained why she decided on it. As Večernji list reported, after the birth of her daughter she did not breastfeed but pumped milk, and when she stopped, one breast stayed larger than the other. A doctor told her that restoring symmetry would take a combination of an implant and fat, and she agreed.

What her words mean for others

Dvornik’s account is useful because it is balanced. She explained a common reason — breasts that became uneven after pregnancy and feeding — and she said clearly that she wanted a result that does not look artificial. At the same time she did not pretend that the first days are easy. Her advice to followers was that the decision belongs to each woman: “it’s your body”.

How breast augmentation is done today

Breast augmentation is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 1.5–3 hours, followed by one day in hospital. The surgeon and the patient choose the implant together: silicone or saline, round or anatomical, smooth or textured, and the size and profile that suit the body. The implant can be placed under the muscle, as Dvornik described, or in front of it; the choice depends on the tissues and the planned result.

Who is a candidate and how to prepare

Women consider augmentation for small volume, loss of volume after pregnancy and feeding, or asymmetry. After childbirth it is advised to wait at least 6–12 months after the birth and after breastfeeding has ended, so that the breasts settle.

What recovery looks like

Dvornik said the first days after surgery were the hardest, and that is typical: moderate discomfort on days 1–3, much less by days 5–7, and usually gone by weeks 2–3. Non-physical work is possible after 7–14 days, walks after 1–2 weeks, fitness and swimming after 4–6 weeks and strength training after 3 months. A compression garment is worn for 4–6 weeks.

What recovery looks like

How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
