Breasts, nose, fillers, botox
What did Julia Franzén say about her breast surgery?
The confirmation came in an Instagram question session, reported by Expressen on 8 March 2022. Asked by a follower what cosmetic procedures she had had, Julia Franzén answered without hesitation: “Bröst, näsa, fillers, botox” (“Breasts, nose, fillers, botox”), adding a list of other beauty treatments she regularly has done.

WhatsAppThat short list is the whole of what we rely on here. Franzén did not say in that answer when the breast surgery took place, which technique or implant type was used, or where it was carried out, so this article does not guess at any of that. Where the text below explains how the surgery works and what recovery looks like, it describes breast augmentation in general, not her personal treatment.
Why she chose to answer plainly
Franzén found fame searching for love on reality television, then kept her public profile active afterwards as an Instagram personality who posts regularly about her life. Rather than deflecting a direct question about cosmetic work, which many public figures either dodge or answer vaguely, she gave a short, factual list.
More on this topic: Breast augmentation and mammoplasty with a natural result, Breast Reduction, Breast Augmentation with Implants, Breast Augmentation in Dubai, Breast Implants in Calgary.
That kind of plain answer treats the surgery itself as an ordinary part of her story rather than something to hide or justify, which is part of why her response was reported as straightforward news rather than a scandal.
Breast augmentation abroad: choose a city and clinic
Prices, the clinic and a free online consultation for each city:
How breast augmentation is done today
Breast augmentation increases volume and improves symmetry by placing an implant, typically through an incision under the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit, depending on the patient's anatomy and the desired outcome.
- Anaesthesia
- General
- Hospital stay
- 1–2 days
- Typical incision sites
- Breast fold, areola or armpit
- Price at City Medical Centre
- Fixed price $4,700
The exact implant profile, size and incision site are chosen at a consultation based on the patient's chest shape and skin, not from a celebrity's list of procedures.
Who it suits and preparation
Augmentation suits women who want more volume, improved symmetry, or to restore shape after pregnancy, breastfeeding or significant weight change. Before surgery, patients are generally asked to:
- stop aspirin-containing medication, steroids and hormonal contraceptives one to two months in advance;
- complete routine blood tests about a week beforehand;
- keep a steady daily routine and avoid heavy stress in the weeks before the operation;
- plan time away from intense training, since gym workouts are paused for up to 40 days afterwards.
Recovery after breast surgery
Most patients return to work, without physical exertion, after 7–14 days. Swelling typically settles within three weeks, when scars also begin forming, and lifting over 3 kg or raising the arms above shoulder level is avoided during that time.
Compression garments are usually worn for four to six weeks, after which swimming and fitness can resume, and most residual discomfort has gone by around three months, when strength training is allowed again.
How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
- Day of surgeryOperation under general anaesthesia; 1–2 days at the clinic.
- Days 1–7Moderate discomfort managed with painkillers; no lifting or raising the arms above shoulder level.
- 7–14 daysReturn to work, without physical exertion.
- 3 weeksSwelling disappears and scars begin to form.
- 4–6 weeksCompression garments can come off; swimming and fitness are allowed.
- 3 monthsDiscomfort fully resolves; strength training can resume.
