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. |

Recently had ACDFsurgery with Mr Khan, l can't praise them enough. The outcome of my surgery outweighed my expectations, brilliant surgeon! Surrounded by an amazing team of nurses, technicians, physio's, pharmacists, radiographers, hostesses and the admin support staff that tie it all together. Wouldn't think twice of going there again, but hope not too! Five star service????? |
