'The novelty wore off so quickly and I hated them' - Irish blogger Lisa Jordan on having breast implants removed... One of Ireland's top bloggers has warned women to think twice about going under the knife after making the decision to have her breast implants removed.
What did Lisa Jordan say about her implants?
In an interview carrying the headline “The novelty wore off so quickly and I hated them,” the Irish Independent reported that Lisa Jordan, one of Ireland’s best-known bloggers, had decided to have her breast implants removed, and used the interview to warn other women to think twice before going under the knife.

WhatsAppThe accessible part of the interview does not set out the clinical history in detail — how long she had the implants, or exactly when either procedure took place — and this article does not guess at either. What is clear from her own words is the central point: the implants did not bring the lasting satisfaction she expected, and she chose to have them taken out.
Why her warning matters
Public conversation about breast augmentation tends to focus on the decision to get implants, much less on the decision to remove them. Lisa Jordan’s account is a useful corrective: it treats implant removal as a normal, legitimate outcome rather than a failure to hide, and her advice to “think twice” is about managing expectations beforehand, not about anyone’s appearance.

How breast augmentation and implant removal are done today
Breast augmentation places implants to increase volume and is performed under general anaesthesia with a one-day hospital stay. Implant removal, sometimes combined with a lift, follows similar surgical principles in reverse:
Augmentation
- What it changes
- Implants placed to increase volume and shape
- Anaesthesia and stay
- General anaesthesia, 1 day
Implant removal
- What it changes
- Implants taken out; breast tissue returns closer to its natural shape
- Anaesthesia and stay
- General anaesthesia, 1 day
Removal with lift (mastopexy)
- What it changes
- Implants removed and excess skin addressed for a firmer contour
- Anaesthesia and stay
- General anaesthesia, 1–2 days
Who it suits, and how to prepare
Augmentation suits women who want more volume or symmetry and are in good general health; removal suits those who, like Lisa Jordan, decide implants no longer fit what they want from their body. Preparation for either operation usually includes:
- stopping aspirin-containing medication, steroids and hormonal contraceptives one to two months beforehand;
- routine blood tests about a week before surgery;
- reducing stress and physical strain in the weeks before the operation;
- arranging time off, since gym workouts and heavy activity are paused for up to 40 days afterwards.
Recovery after breast surgery
Patients can usually return to work, without physical exertion, after 7–14 days. Post-operative swelling typically disappears within three weeks, and scars begin to form in the same period; lifting over 3kg and raising the arms above shoulder level are avoided for about three weeks.
Compression garments are usually worn for four to six weeks, with fitness and swimming allowed from that point, and most discomfort resolves within three months, by which time strength training can resume.
How recovery after breast surgery usually goes
- Day of surgeryOperation under general anaesthesia; one day 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; fitness, swimming and pool are allowed.
- 3 monthsDiscomfort fully resolves; strength training can resume.
