I didn’t have plastic surgery to please society, I did it to please myself. I have had breast augmentation.
What did Evrydiki Valavani say about her breast augmentation?
The Greek TV journalist and presenter spoke about it herself in February 2024 as a guest on Fipster’s YouTube show, in a conversation about the growing popularity of cosmetic surgery and the influence of social media. As iefimerida.gr reported, she said: “I have had plastic surgery too, but that doesn’t mean I have changed.” She went on: “I didn’t have plastic surgery to please society, I did it to please myself. I have had breast augmentation.”

WhatsAppShe also explained her general view. “If you want to improve something about yourself, it isn’t bad, but always in moderation,” she said, as quoted by ProtoThema. She added that if someone wants to go further, that is their own choice, and that labelling people because of a cosmetic procedure is unfair.
That is all this article relies on. She did not say when she had the operation, what kind of implants were used or where, and we do not guess. Where the text below explains how augmentation works, it describes the operation in general, not her treatment.
Why her words are worth hearing
Her answer puts the focus where surgeons also put it: on the patient’s own motivation. A decision made for yourself, rather than to meet someone else’s expectations, is the kind of decision that is most likely to leave a person satisfied. Her point about moderation also matches what a good consultation is about: choosing a result that fits the body, not the biggest possible change.

She also said something many people feel: having an operation does not make you a different person. Nothing in this article judges anyone’s appearance; the point is how the decision was made and explained.

How breast augmentation is done today
Breast augmentation places an implant behind the breast tissue or the chest muscle to add volume and improve shape. It is done under general anaesthesia, usually takes 1.5–3 hours, and the patient normally spends one day in hospital. The implant is chosen together with the surgeon, based on the chest width, the skin and the result the patient wants.
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
A natural, moderate result usually comes from an implant matched to the width of the chest rather than chosen by volume alone. Implants usually last about 10–15 years before they need to be replaced, so a future operation should be part of the plan.
Who is a candidate and how to prepare
A good candidate is an adult in stable health who wants more volume or a better breast shape and has realistic expectations. Women who plan pregnancy are advised to think about timing: after childbirth, surgeons recommend waiting at least 6–12 months after the birth and after breastfeeding has ended.
Before surgery the clinic asks for blood tests, a coagulation panel, infection tests, an ECG, a chest X-ray and a breast ultrasound. Blood-thinning medicines, steroids and hormonal drugs are stopped in agreement with the doctor; oral contraceptives are usually paused at least a month before. The surgeon also explains the possible complications, including hematoma, seroma, infection, changes in nipple sensitivity, capsular contracture and asymmetry.
What recovery looks like
Most patients describe moderate discomfort for the first three days, much less by days 5–7, and none by weeks 2–3. Non-physical work is possible after 7–14 days. Swelling settles in about a month, when the breasts take on a natural shape and softness. Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks; fitness, swimming, the pool and the sea come back after 4–6 weeks, and strength training after three months. The timeline below shows the usual stages.
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 7–14Discomfort eases; non-physical work is usually possible.
- About 1 monthSwelling settles and the breasts take on a natural shape and softness.
- Weeks 4–6Fitness, swimming, pool and sea return; compression garment comes off.
- Month 3Strength training is allowed again.
