What did Madison LeCroy say about her breast augmentation?
Madison LeCroy, the hairstylist and reality star of Bravo's Southern Charm, did her breast augmentation the transparent way: she announced the plan on Instagram on 13 October 2020, went through with the operation in late October, and talked her followers through every stage. As Us Weekly reported on 11 November 2020, she debuted the result the day before with a single word — “Blooming” — after a recovery she described in detail.

WhatsAppHer quotes set expectations the way a surgeon would. On size: “Just because I'm having an implant does not mean that I'm coming with boobs as big as my head.” On the plan: “I promise you … we are going to stay as natural as possible,” adding, “I am going to try to keep the same size that I have right now, but just an implant.” And on how the first days actually feel, she was blunt — bruised, swollen, with her chest not feeling “that bad.” Her framing for the whole thing: a mother restoring her body, something she said anyone who has had children would understand — making this momma feel like herself again, as she put it in her post-operative caption.
That is what this article relies on: her own posts and the report quoting them. Everything below describes breast augmentation in general, not her treatment.
Why her story matters
Most celebrity augmentations appear only as a rumour and a before-and-after. Madison LeCroy inverted that: she announced the date, explained the size logic — same volume, added implant, maximum naturalness — and described the real first days: bruising, swelling, honest reports on what hurts and what does not.
More on this topic: Breast augmentation and mammoplasty with a natural result, Breast Reduction, Breast Augmentation with Implants, Breast Augmentation in Kingston, Breast Augmentation in Ibadan.
That is the information patients actually search for, and it reads like the consultation most people wish they had recorded.
Her “same size, just an implant” approach is also the textbook case for post-pregnancy restoration: pregnancy and nursing deflate breast volume without changing the frame, and an implant matched to the existing size restores the shape without announcing itself. Small, proportioned augmentations heal faster, look natural for longer, and — as her caption said — are about feeling like yourself again, not becoming someone new.

How a breast augmentation is done today
A breast augmentation restores or adds volume with implants and can correct shape and asymmetry. Implant size, profile and shape are chosen with the surgeon based on anatomy and the result the patient wants — in her words, as natural as possible, at the size the patient already has. Implants differ in material (silicone looks most natural), shape (round or anatomical), surface and profile; the implant can be placed in front of or behind the pectoral muscle.
Incisions are placed in hidden areas and scars fade over 6 to 12 months.
Breast augmentation with implants
- Main goal
- More volume, shape correction
- When it is considered
- Volume lost after pregnancy or breastfeeding, asymmetry
Size-preserving augmentation
- Main goal
- Restored shape at the current size
- When it is considered
- Post-pregnancy deflation with a frame the patient likes
Breast lift with implants
- Main goal
- Volume plus lifted position
- When it is considered
- Volume loss together with marked skin laxity
Implant exchange
- Main goal
- New size, profile or technology
- When it is considered
- Ageing implants or a change of aesthetic goal
The right combination is chosen at the consultation, not from a celebrity story.
Who is a candidate, and how to prepare
A candidate is an adult in stable health whose weight has settled. Mothers, as in Madison LeCroy's case, do best once breastfeeding is finished and the body has stabilised — at least 6–12 months. Contraindications include active infection, pregnancy and breastfeeding, severe heart or lung disease, blood clotting disorders and anything that rules out safe general anaesthesia.
- Finish breastfeeding first and let the chest stabilise before operating.
- Talk size through in naturalness terms — “keep my size, add an implant” is a surgical instruction, not a guess.
- Bring your medical history, including previous operations and medicines; the surgeon decides which tests are needed.
- Plan the recovery honestly: bruising and swelling are normal first days, and help with the kids makes them calmer.
What recovery looks like
The patient spends a day in the clinic after surgery. Moderate discomfort in the first one to three days is normal and eases clearly by day 5–7. Most people go back to work without physical strain after 7–14 days. For three weeks there is no lifting over 3 kg and no raising the arms above shoulder level — a consideration for a mother of a small child.
Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks; swimming and fitness usually return then, strength training after about three months. Swelling settles in about a month, and full recovery takes 3–6 months. The timeline below shows the usual stages.

How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia; one day in the inpatient ward under round-the-clock care.
- Days 1–7Moderate discomfort, relieved with painkillers; clearly easier by day 5–7.
- Days 7–14Return to work without physical exertion.
- 3 weeksSwelling goes down; no lifting over 3 kg, arms below shoulder level.
- 4–6 weeksCompression garments are no longer needed; swimming and fitness.
- 3 monthsDiscomfort is gone and the tissue has settled; strength training is possible.
