It's no secret that I too underwent breast augmentation surgery back then, but if I could start over, I wouldn't go under the knife today.
What did Sarka Kata say about her breast augmentation?
Talking to Femina about judging the Miss World Hungary pageant alongside her teenage daughter Noémi, Sarka Kata turned to her own experience with cosmetic surgery. She said: „Nem titok, hogy annak idején én is átestem mellplasztikán, de ha újrakezdhetném, ma már nem feknék kés alá.” (“It's no secret that I too underwent breast augmentation surgery back then, but if I could start over, I wouldn't go under the knife today.”)

WhatsAppAccording to the same report, she explained that her priorities have changed in recent years: she now has three children, a husband, a dog and her work, and said these matter far more to her than how she looks. She did not name a clinic, a surgeon, a year or any detail of the operation itself, so we do not guess at them here. Where the rest of this article explains how breast augmentation works, it describes the operation in general, not her own treatment.
Why her honesty matters
What stands out in her comment is not regret about a particular result, but a change of mind that came with time. She frames it as something she would decide differently today — not because the operation itself failed her, but because her sense of what matters shifted. That is a common and valid reason to reconsider a cosmetic decision years later, and it says nothing about how anyone looks today.

It is also a reminder that a decision made at one point in life does not have to be final in how a person feels about it afterwards. Nothing here comments on her appearance; the point is only how she described her own change of perspective.

How breast augmentation is done today
Breast augmentation places an implant behind the breast tissue or the chest muscle to add volume and shape. It is performed under general anaesthesia, and the patient normally spends one day in hospital afterwards. The implant itself is chosen together with the surgeon, based on the width of the chest, the condition of the skin and the result the patient wants.
Filling
- Options
- Silicone or saline
- What it affects
- How the implant feels and behaves
Shape
- Options
- Round or anatomical
- What it affects
- Fullness of the upper part of the breast
Surface
- Options
- Smooth or textured
- What it affects
- How the implant sits in the tissue
Size and profile
- Options
- Chosen with the surgeon
- What it affects
- Volume and projection in proportion to the body
Implants usually last about 10–15 years before they need to be replaced, so a future operation is normally part of the plan from the start.
Who is a candidate, and how to prepare
A good candidate is an adult in stable health who wants more volume or a different breast shape and has realistic expectations about the result. Anyone planning a pregnancy is advised to think about timing: surgeons recommend waiting at least 6–12 months after giving birth and after breastfeeding has ended.
Before the operation, the clinic asks for blood tests, a coagulation panel, infection tests, an ECG, a chest X-ray and a breast ultrasound. Blood-thinning medicines, steroids and hormonal drugs are stopped beforehand in agreement with the doctor, and oral contraceptives are usually paused at least a month in advance. The surgeon also explains the possible complications, including hematoma, seroma, infection, changes in nipple sensitivity, capsular contracture, asymmetry, wound separation and tissue necrosis.
What recovery looks like
Return to non-physical work is usually possible after 7–14 days. By about three weeks, post-operative swelling fades and scars begin to form, and heavy lifting or raising the arms above shoulder level is still avoided. By one month, the breasts generally take on a more natural shape and softness.
Fitness, swimming and the pool become possible again after 4–6 weeks, once the compression garment comes off, and by three months most patients are back to strength training as the tissue around the implant settles.

How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
- 7–14 daysReturn to work without physical exertion.
- 3 weeksPost-op swelling fades and scars form; no lifting over 3 kg or raising arms above shoulder level.
- 1 monthSwelling subsides further and the breasts take on a natural shape and softness.
- 4–6 weeksFitness, swimming, pool and sea become possible again; compression garments come off.
- 3 monthsStrength training returns as the pocket around the implant settles.
