What did Ceca say about her breast augmentation?
Svetlana Ražnatović Ceca, one of the best-known singers in the Balkans, has never hidden that she had her breasts enlarged. In a round-up of Serbian celebrities and cosmetic surgery published on 18 January 2011, Blic wrote that she had had a breast augmentation and quoted her own view of it: “I don't see what is strange about it, I wanted to have beautiful breasts. I am not ashamed of it, and I will have an operation on anything that bothers me on my body and face.”

WhatsAppShe also said that she occasionally goes back to her surgeon for a check-up, simply to see whether anything needs attention.
That is all we rely on here. She did not describe the method, the implants or the year of the operation, and this article does not name the clinic or the surgeon, so we do not guess at any of those details. Where the text below explains how the operation works and what recovery involves, it describes breast augmentation in general, not her treatment.
What her words mean for anyone considering surgery
Ceca's comment is short, but it carries three clear ideas. The first is the reason: she wanted a result she would be happy with, and she said so without excuses. The second is the absence of shame, a point that matters in a region where cosmetic surgery is still often discussed in whispers or denied.
More on this topic: Breast augmentation and mammoplasty with a natural result, Breast Augmentation with Implants, Breast Lift (Mastopexy), Breast Augmentation in Dubai, Breast Augmentation in Ibadan.
The third is easy to overlook: she mentioned going back for check-ups. An implant is not a one-time event; it is something to keep an eye on over the years.
That last point is the most practical one for anyone thinking about an augmentation. The decision does not end on the day of surgery. Follow-up visits, an ultrasound when the doctor recommends one, and a plan for eventual implant replacement are all part of a responsible choice. Nothing in this article judges anyone's appearance; the point is the decision and how carefully it is made.

How breast augmentation is done today
Breast augmentation places an implant behind the breast tissue or behind the chest muscle to add or restore volume. It is done under general anaesthesia, usually takes 1.5–3 hours, and the patient normally spends one day in hospital. The main decisions about the implant are made together with the surgeon at the consultation:
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 replacing, so a further operation later in life should be expected. That is worth discussing openly at the very first consultation, together with where the scars will be and how the chosen size fits the patient's frame.
Who is a candidate and how to prepare
A good candidate is an adult in stable health with realistic expectations and a clear personal reason for the operation. After childbirth, surgeons recommend waiting at least 6–12 months after the birth and after breastfeeding has ended, so that the breasts have settled. Before surgery the clinic asks for blood tests, a coagulation panel, infection tests, an ECG, a chest X-ray and a breast ultrasound.
Aspirin-type drugs, steroids and hormonal drugs are stopped in agreement with the doctor; oral contraceptives are usually paused at least a month before.
Like any operation, augmentation carries risks, and the surgeon explains them in advance: hematoma, seroma, infection, changes in nipple sensitivity, capsular contracture, asymmetry, wound separation and tissue necrosis. A good consultation leaves time for questions and does not push anyone towards a decision.
What recovery looks like
Moderate discomfort is normal for the first one to three days and eases noticeably by days five to seven. Non-physical work is usually possible after 7–14 days, walks after one to two weeks, fitness and swimming after four to six weeks, and strength training after three months. A compression garment is worn for four to six weeks.
Swelling settles in about a month, full recovery takes three to six months, scars fade over 6–12 months, and sensitivity usually returns within 3–12 months.
How recovery after breast augmentation usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia, 1.5–3 hours in theatre, then one day in hospital.
- Days 1–3Moderate discomfort, controlled with prescribed painkillers; compression garment on.
- Days 5–14Discomfort eases; non-physical work is usually possible after 7–14 days.
- Weeks 4–6Swelling has largely settled; fitness and swimming return; the compression garment comes off.
- Month 3Strength training is allowed again.
- Months 3–12Full recovery at 3–6 months; scars fade and sensitivity usually returns within a year.
