Breast Enlargement (Augmentation)
Call us on 0844 2096897
What is a breast enlargement (augmentation)?
A breast enlargement is performed by inserting a breast
implant behind your natural breast tissue. This pushes and projects
the natural breast tissue forward, giving a fuller and larger
breast appearance. This can provide both physical and psychological
benefits. Ladies who have undergone breast enlargement report
that they feel more feminine and personally feel confident about
their new body image. Having bigger breasts can mean that ladies
experience improved self esteem as a result of having surgery. If
you feel that you have small breast (or smaller than you would
like), this may be something you would consider.
How is it performed?
Breast enlargement surgery is performed under general
anaesthetic. The procedure takes around one hour and patients may
be able to go home the same day.
What are the results like and how will I feel?
This procedure can provide excellent results in women wishing to
improve and increase their breast shape and size. The operation
should only be undertaken by a Consultant Plastic Surgeon (often
referred to as a Cosmetic Surgeon or Cosmetic Consultant) who
is fully qualified and well experienced in this type of specialist
breast surgery. Most women experience some discomfort following
breast surgery and take pain killers for up to one week following
surgery. It is important to allow for a natural period of healing
to take place and to abstain from strenuous activity or from heavy
lifting for six weeks following surgery.
Are there any risks involved having a breast augmentation?
All surgery involves an element of risk from developing
complications. However, cosmetic surgery is usually undertaken
voluntarily and only when a patient is in good health. Therefore,
the probability of experiencing complications from this kind of
surgery are substantially lower than those who undergo surgery due
to ill health. If you have any concerns at all, please speak to
your Plastic Specialist (Plastic Consultant) at your
consultation.

Who should I see, what next?
At Pinehill, we believe that it is important for you to have
realistic expectations of the improvements that can be achieved
through breast augmentation surgery. Your Consultant Plastic
Surgeon will take into account your age, skin texture, and the
existing shape and position of your breast tissue and nipples when
predicting the outcome of your results. It is therefore essential
to have a thorough consultation with a surgeon who specialises in
breast surgery before you make a decision to go ahead with a
procedure. We have a number of excellent experienced Consultants;
