WhatsAppThat is all this article relies on. Minge did not say in that interview which implant size or technique was used, or exactly when the procedure took place, and we do not guess at any of it. Where the text below explains breast augmentation and recovery, it describes the operation in general, not her treatment.
Why her openness matters
Many women who have breast augmentation after breastfeeding say little about it publicly. Minge said plainly that she had always had small breasts and had breastfed two sons, that her ex-husband encouraged her, and that she made the decision for her own comfort rather than hiding it.
More on this topic: Breast augmentation and mammoplasty with a natural result, Breast Reduction, Breast Augmentation with Implants, Breast Augmentation in Dubai, Breast Augmentation in Ibadan.
Her account also reflects something surgeons see often: breastfeeding can reduce breast volume and firmness, and augmentation is one of the options women consider afterwards, alongside a lift or no procedure at all. Nothing here judges anyone's appearance — the point is how the decision was made and explained.

How breast augmentation is done today
Modern breast augmentation places an implant (silicone or, less often, saline) under the breast tissue or under the chest muscle, through a small incision usually hidden in the fold under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit. Implant shape, profile and size are chosen with the surgeon based on the patient's anatomy and goals.
Submuscular placement
- Where the implant sits
- Under the chest muscle
- Typical result
- More natural upper slope, often preferred after breastfeeding
Subglandular placement
- Where the implant sits
- Under the breast tissue, over the muscle
- Typical result
- Shorter recovery, more defined shape
Fat transfer augmentation
- Where the implant sits
- Patient's own fat, injected
- Typical result
- Smaller, more modest increase in volume
Which option fits is decided at a consultation with the surgeon, not from a celebrity story.
Who is a candidate and how to prepare
Breast augmentation is often considered after pregnancy and breastfeeding, when volume and firmness have changed, as well as by women who have always felt their natural breast size was too small for their frame. Before surgery, the surgeon reviews general health, chronic conditions and medication, and checks contraindications such as pregnancy and breastfeeding, severe cardiovascular disease, blood clotting disorders, cancer and decompensated diabetes.
What recovery looks like
Most patients return to work without physical exertion after 7–14 days. By about 3 weeks the initial post-operative swelling has gone and scars have started to form, with no heavy lifting or raising the arms above shoulder level during this period. By 1 month the swelling subsides further and the breasts take on a more natural shape and softness.
Fitness, swimming and the pool are usually possible from 4–6 weeks, with a compression garment worn for that period, and by 3 months remaining discomfort resolves as a stable pocket forms around the implant.
How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia; a one-day hospital stay under observation.
- Days 7–14Return to work without physical exertion.
- Week 3Early swelling fades, scars form; avoid heavy lifting or raising arms high.
- 1 monthSwelling subsides further; breasts take on a natural shape and softness.
- Weeks 4–6Fitness, swimming, pool now possible; compression garment still worn.
- 3 monthsRemaining discomfort resolves as a pocket forms around the implant.
