Procedure Information |
Why do people choose breast augmentation or breast enlargement surgery? People choose this operation for different reasons: To enhance the body contour To reconstruct the breast after previous breast surgery To improve breast size after having children To balance a difference in breast size. What are the benefits of breast enlargement surgery? Perhaps you have always wanted larger breasts. Or you may want to enhance the shape of your breasts following pregnancy or weight loss. Breast augmentation patients often report psychological benefits following the procedure including: Increased self esteem (self confidence) Enjoy wearing new/fitted clothing Feeling more feminine Body balance, feeling breast are more in proportion with your body. What kind of breast implant should I choose? Based on your own needs our Nuffield Health consultant may also discuss and advise you on what implant might be best to use All implants are made of an outer layer (shell) of silicone They can be filled with silicone, salt water (saline) or both The silicone used to fill the implant can be in the form of a liquid or gel (cohesive silicone) Liquid silicone and saline implants give a softer and more natural feel Cohesive silicone implants give a firmer feel and can come in more shapes Liquid implants with a simple round shape often give as good results as shaped cohesive-gel implants The Medicines and Healthcare products regulatory Agency (MHRA) is responsible for ensuring the safety of implantable medical devices, including breast implants. Is silicone safe? Many studies have been carried out to find if silicone breast implants are safe. There is no evidence to suggest that women who have silicone breast implants are at a higher risk of getting diseases such as cancer and arthritis. What happens during breast augmentation? Your operation is performed under a general anaesthetic and usually takes about an hour and a half. There are several options for surgical incisions: Inframammary (the crease under the breast) Transaxillary (the armpit) Periareolar (the area around the nipple) The type of incision (cut) used is based on the type of implant, the degree of augmentation (enlargement), your particular anatomy and patient/surgeon preference. Be sure and discuss incision options with your surgeon. Your surgeon will usually place the implant in a pocket directly behind your breast as this gives the most natural result. However, if you do not have enough breast skin and tissue to cover the implant, your surgeon may recommend placing the implant behind the pectoral muscle. Be sure to discuss the implications of placement of your implant with your surgeon. |

Using two numbers, one from their website and another from a different nuffield health hospital, I have been on hold to get past the first options page for over an hour and a half just today. This is the only Nuffield hospital I have been directed to for my specific treatment requirements and I have spent days of attempts and hours on hold trying to get any information about the hospital or my specific enquiries. If I knew of another hospital that provides the treatment I need I would have given up long ago but as I am a captive market I cannot and instead am left finding it impossible to contact a relevant medical professional or even member of administrative staff. It seems like this issue would be solved by the hiring of more staff to man the phonelines, or a streamlining of the automatic directory. Either of these options would work and would not leave patients having to put aside significant sections of their day mutliple times just to try and talk to a representitive of the hospital. This is not a functional system for patients and it would be greatly appreciated if Nuffield Brighton could provide a method of introducing yourself to the hospital that actually allows you to do that. Thank you. |
