Did Monica Geuze have a breast augmentation? Yes, and she says she regrets it

In April 2023 she wrote on her own Instagram, as reported by Shownieuws: “Lang verhaal kort: altijd onzeker geweest over mijn borsten, ze daarna 2x laten vergroten en uiteindelijk toch niet tevreden en weer kleiner willen.” (“Long story short: I was always insecure about my breasts, had them enlarged twice afterward, and still wasn’t satisfied in the end, wanting them smaller again.”)

In August 2024, on her own podcast Geuze & Gorgels, quoted by FunX, she went further: “Ik heb echt spijt van de borstvergroting. Het was een beslissing die ik nooit had moeten nemen. Achteraf gezien had ik gewoon blij moeten zijn met hoe ik eruit zag.” (“I really regret the breast augmentation. It was a decision I should never have made. Looking back, I should just have been happy with how I looked.”) She added that she has been operated on three times in total, and one of her breasts was treated as many as four times: “Het is een opeenstapeling van problemen en ellende. Het was gewoon een verkeerde keuze.” (“It’s a pile-up of problems and misery. It was simply the wrong choice.”)

That is the full basis of this article. Monica Geuze did not name a year for her original surgery in either source, and she did not describe the surgical technique or the clinic, so this article does not guess at any of it. The sections below explain breast augmentation in general, not her own treatment.

That is a more complicated story than a single operation, and it is a reminder that implant size and shape are decisions worth taking slowly.

Surgeons ask exactly the questions her story raises at a first consultation: what is the realistic expectation, how does the patient feel about her own body right now, and is a smaller, more natural result a better starting point than going straight for a dramatic change. A clear reason and modest expectations are usually the better route — not because bigger is wrong, but because revision surgery, which Monica describes going through herself, is harder on the body than getting the first operation right.

• Access incision — usually in the inframammary fold, chosen to leave the least visible scar.

At City Medical Centre the surgeon chooses the implant type, size and placement together with the patient after an examination, not from a photo of someone else’s result.

A detailed, honest conversation about size and shape — the same conversation Monica Geuze describes having skipped the first time, by her own account — is the part patients are encouraged not to rush.

Around one month, the swelling has mostly resolved and the breasts take on a more natural shape and softness; a compression garment is worn for 4–6 weeks. Fitness, swimming, pools and the sea become possible again around that time. By three months, any remaining discomfort usually disappears as the tissue settles fully around the implant, and strength training can resume.

To be clear: City Medical Centre has no connection with Monica Geuze or her treatment. Her story is simply a well-known example of someone who spoke openly, more than once, about breast augmentation and about regretting it.
