We won't agree on that, because I myself — and I admit it — had my breasts done well before Panka was born. I really didn't like my body, I didn't like that part of it. I became so much happier and more confident after I had it done. That's everyone's own decision.
What did Liptai Claudia say about her breast augmentation?
Liptai discussed it on her own radio programme, ÉdesKettes, which she co-hosts with her husband, actor Pataki Ádám, on Sláger FM.

WhatsAppFemina.hu reported her words from the 6 October 2021 broadcast, after her husband suggested that women should wait until after childbirth for such surgery: “We won't agree on that, because I myself — and I admit it — had my breasts done well before Panka was born. I really didn't like my body, I didn't like that part of it. I became so much happier and more confident after I had it done. That's everyone's own decision.”
That is all this article relies on. Liptai did not name the clinic, the surgeon, the implant size or an exact date, 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. (In June 2026, Liptai told Femina.hu that she had since had the implants removed, a separate decision taken with her surgeon; this article is about why she originally had them placed.)
Why her openness matters
Liptai is one of Hungary's most recognisable television personalities, a long-time host on commercial TV and radio who also co-owns a confectionery with her husband. Rather than letting her husband's on-air remark pass, she disagreed with him directly and explained her own reasoning: she had been unhappy with her body, and the surgery made her happier and more confident.

She was also clear that it is a personal decision, not a template for anyone else.
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
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
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 by women who, like Liptai described, feel uncomfortable with their natural breast size, as well as by women whose breasts have changed after pregnancy or weight loss. 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 still worn, 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 3Post-op swelling disappears, scars start to form; no heavy lifting or raising arms above shoulder level.
- 1 monthSwelling subsides further; breasts take on a natural shape and softness.
- Weeks 4–6Fitness, swimming and the pool become possible; compression garment still worn.
