Volume increase with implants or, less often, fat transfer, after chest measurements and a health review.
Breast augmentation increases breast size, most often with silicone implants placed in front of or behind the chest muscle. Fat transfer can give a smaller increase using your own fat.
Implant size and shape are chosen with measurements of your chest and breast tissue, not only by preference. Implants are not lifetime devices, and many people need further surgery at some point.
These are general points only. Whether an operation is suitable for you is decided by the treating surgeon after an in-person examination, your medical history and any tests they request.
You share photos and your medical history. The surgeon gives a first opinion on whether the operation is suitable and what it could realistically achieve.
The surgeon examines you in person, confirms the plan, explains the risks and arranges pre-operative tests before you give consent.
Under general anaesthesia, implants are placed through a small incision, usually in the fold under the breast.
The surgeon reviews healing before you travel home, and you receive written aftercare instructions and remote follow-up.
Tightness, swelling and soreness are common. You wear a supportive surgical bra and avoid lifting your arms above shoulder height.
Stitches are checked or removed. Many people return to desk work, avoiding lifting and upper-body exercise.
Exercise is gradually reintroduced with the surgeon’s approval. You continue to wear a supportive bra.
The breasts settle into their final shape and scars mature. Results are usually assessed after several months.
Timelines vary between people. Always follow the aftercare instructions from your treating clinic.
Implants do not have a fixed lifespan, but many people need replacement or removal within 10 to 20 years.
Many people can, especially when the incision is under the breast. Discuss your plans with the surgeon.
It depends on the operation. Many are planned around one to two weeks so the surgeon can check you and remove stitches or drains before you fly. Flying soon after surgery raises the risk of blood clots, so your surgeon confirms when it is safe to travel.
The price depends on the operation the surgeon recommends after examining you, the hospital stay and any combined procedures. You receive a written, itemised quote before anything is booked, with no obligation to proceed.
Share your details and a coordinator will reply with clear next steps. There is no obligation to proceed.
