A glamorous influencer says she was forced to spend more than GBP 4,000 modifying the seat of her Porsche after getting breast implants and realising the sports car was “designed for men”.
Brazilian beauty Ana Paula Oliveira, 50, said her BRL 1 million (GBP 138,800) car required internal seat customisation after changes to her body made driving uncomfortable.
She said the issue became apparent after undergoing a recent breast augmentation totalling 2,000 ml of silicone, which altered how her torso fit into the luxury car’s rigid seat.
Ana Paula explained that she initially tried to adjust to the factory seat, but felt dissatisfied with both the comfort and the way she appeared while seated.
She told Newsflash: “I was pushed too far forward. It wasn’t comfortable, and it also wasn’t a position I liked when I saw myself sitting in the car.
“That’s when I understood that many sports cars are designed for a male body standard. With my body today, that ergonomics simply didn’t work.”
The solution involved modifying the internal structure of the seat, including changes to the foam, backrest depth and torso support points, while keeping the original design and finish intact.
According to Ana Paula, the investment was necessary to resolve a recurring issue.
She said: “It wasn’t something occasional. It bothered me every time I got into the car.”
After the adaptation, Oliveira said the driving experience changed completely, allowing her to sit naturally and comfortably without having to adjust her body to the vehicle.
She said that instead of adapting herself to the car, the car was adapted to her body.
