Kristin Kamenova and her breast implants: what she said herself
Kristin Kamenova, a Bulgarian model known locally for having some of the biggest breast implants in the country, told Bulgarian media she was about to replace them with an even bigger set. In interviews picked up by TrafficNews.bg and Fakti.bg she explained how she was paying for it and how she felt about the decision. Below is what she said herself, where it was published, and how breast augmentation is approached today for anyone considering it.

What did Kristin Kamenova say about her new implants?
In January 2019, TrafficNews.bg and Fakti.bg reported that model Kristin Kamenova, already known for one of the largest breast-implant sizes in Bulgaria, said she was about to go through with replacing her implants with a set almost twice as large.

WhatsAppSpeaking to Bulgaria ON AIR, she explained how she was paying for the procedure this time: „Няма да има нов кредит за силикона ми, веце е подсигурена сумата за операцията. Майка ми ми помогна.“ (“There won't be a new loan for my implants; the money for the operation is already secured. My mother helped me.”)
She also talked about why she wanted a bigger size, telling Bulgarian media: „Аз ги имам в изобилие, но съм жена, която е супер критична към себе си. Поръчахме импланти от чужбина – най-висок клас. Когато сложиш 1000 кубика силикон, те ще теглят по-малко, ще са по-леки.“ (“I already have plenty, but I'm a woman who is super critical of herself. We ordered implants from abroad — the highest grade. When you put in 1,000 cc of silicone, they'll weigh less, be lighter.”) The outlets noted she said she was counting down the days until the procedure.
That is the full basis of this article. Kamenova did not name a clinic, country or exact date for this surgery in the quoted interviews, and we do not add or guess at those details. Where the sections below explain how augmentation is actually performed, they describe the operation in general, not her treatment.
Why her words matter
Kamenova's case is unusual because it is not a quiet confirmation but an open, repeated public conversation about choosing a large implant size specifically.
More on this topic: Breast augmentation and mammoplasty with a natural result, Breast Lift (Mastopexy), Breast Reduction, Breast Augmentation in Dubai, Breast Implants in Calgary.
She framed it around her own standards (“a woman who is super critical of herself”) and around the practical detail of silicone weight at larger volumes — a real consideration surgeons discuss with patients who want significant volume, since weight affects comfort and how the implant sits over time.
Her story is also a reminder that “bigger” is a spectrum with real trade-offs, not a single standard choice. Implant size, profile and placement are assessed against a person's own tissue, chest width and skin elasticity; a size that works well for one body can create problems — sagging, visible rippling, back and shoulder strain — on another. That is exactly why size is a consultation decision, not something copied from someone else's choice.

How breast augmentation is done today
A breast augmentation places a silicone or saline implant, round or anatomical, smooth or textured, behind the breast tissue or the chest muscle, under general anaesthesia. Surgeons discuss volume, profile and placement with the patient beforehand, and at larger volumes they also factor in skin elasticity and the pocket size needed to support the implant long-term.
- Anaesthesia
- General
- Hospital stay
- One day
- Back to desk work
- 7–14 days
- Fitness, swimming
- After 4–6 weeks
- Strength training
- After 3 months
- Price at City Medical Centre
- $4,700 (fixed)
Larger implants generally mean a longer and more involved consultation, since the surgeon needs to confirm the patient's own tissue and chest frame can support the chosen volume without excess strain, sagging or visible rippling over time. This is also where a second, qualified opinion is worthwhile before committing to a particular size.
Who is it for and how to prepare
Breast augmentation is chosen by people who want fuller breasts, more symmetrical breasts, or to restore volume and shape lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight change. Before surgery, patients have blood tests, a coagulation panel, infection screening, an ECG, a chest X-ray and a breast ultrasound. Aspirin-type drugs, steroids and hormonal medication, including oral contraceptives, are usually stopped at least a month beforehand, under a doctor's guidance.
What recovery looks like
Moderate discomfort in the first one to three days eases considerably by day five to seven. Most people return to desk work without physical exertion after 7–14 days. By three weeks, post-operative swelling has usually gone down and scars have started to form; lifting over 3 kg or raising the arms above shoulder level is avoided until then.
Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks, after which fitness, swimming and the pool are usually back on the table, and the breasts settle into a more natural shape and softness around the one-month mark. Strength training generally resumes after about three months.

How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia; one day in hospital afterward.
- Days 1–3Moderate discomfort, easing considerably by day 5–7.
- Days 7–14Return to desk work without physical exertion.
- 3 weeksSwelling subsides and scars start to form; no heavy lifting yet.
- 4–6 weeksCompression garments come off; fitness, swimming and the pool resume.
- 3 monthsStrength training resumes as the implant settles into place.
Breast augmentation at City Medical Centre
City Medical Centre performs breast augmentation for international patients at a fixed price of $4,700, which includes the anaesthesia, the one-day hospital stay and a year of follow-up with the plastic surgeon. Implant type, size and placement are discussed at a free first consultation, where the surgeon also assesses whether a given volume suits the patient's own tissue and frame.
A personal coordinator stays in touch from the first enquiry through recovery. More details are on the breast augmentation page.
To be clear: City Medical Centre has no connection with Kristin Kamenova or her treatment. Her story is simply a well-known example of a public figure who has spoken openly, and repeatedly, about choosing a large implant size.
Frequently asked questions
What did Kristin Kamenova say about her breast implants?
In January 2019 she told Bulgarian media she was about to replace her implants with a set almost twice as large, and that her mother had helped pay for the procedure in cash rather than a loan.

She did not name one in the quoted interviews, so this article does not guess at or add that detail.
Why is implant size a consultation decision rather than a personal preference alone?

It is a fixed price of $4,700, which includes anaesthesia, a one-day hospital stay and a year of surgeon follow-up.
How long does recovery after breast augmentation usually take?
