Breast Enlargement Surgery
Breast enlargement surgery, breast augmentation or simply just a “boob job”. Whatever you call it, it’s very quickly becoming one of the most performed surgical procedures in the country and is perfect for women looking for a fuller, more even and symmetrical chest with a number of size options.
In our years of experience, we often find that the number one reason for breast enlargement surgery is down to a lack of body confidence. In most cases, the breasts are either naturally smaller than the patient would like or not equal to the frame of the patient, causing them to seem disproportionate or in extreme cases look quite uneven.
Although every surgery is different due to the individual requirements of the patient, all breast augmentations follow the same pattern. During surgery, a small incision will be made in the natural crease of the breast where the chosen implant will then be inserted before the incision is sealed with dissolvable stitches.
Thanks to the ever growing trend of celebrities and social media stars who opt to go “under the knife” in pursuit of their dream body, breast enlargement surgery is in the public eye on a daily basis and is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries with women around the world thanks to the incredible results it is capable of providing.

Why choose breast enlargement surgery?
Probably the single most common reason to undergo breast enlargement surgery is a lack of confidence within the patients own skin. Because of social media sites like Instagram, the “perfect body” is able to be seen within just a few short taps and when someone see’s these images and begins to compare themselves to them, it can lead to issues with self esteem and body confidence. Whilst there is absolutely nothing wrong with having smaller breasts, breast enlargement surgery can be performed to increase the size of the breasts (in proportion to your body) and help to restore and renew confidence within the patient.
How does breast enlargement surgery work?
Breast enlargement surgery works by increasing the size of the breasts by adding an implant beneath either the muscle or breast tissue. Performed under general anaesthetic, an incision is made in either the crease beneath the breast, around the areola or in the armpit (depending on the results that are desired) so that the surgery can be performed. The surgeon then creates a small pocket for the breast implant to be inserted into by separating the breast tissue from the chest muscles.
Generally, there are two distinct ways for the surgery to be carried out, over the muscle and under the muscle, and the choice of these depends on the desired results. Over the muscle is where the breast implant is placed between the chest muscle and breast tissue, whereas under the muscle is placed behind the chest muscle itself and is more commonly seen in patients with smaller amounts of existing breast tissue.
Once the implants have been positioned correctly, the incision is stitched up and the recovery process can begin.
What are the results like?
Breast enlargment surgery provides results that are different for every single patient (as everyone has different desired goals), but the certainty is that it will change the size and shape of your breasts. The biggest thing to remember is that expectations need to be kept as realistic as possible.
Post-surgery, the breasts will continue to age as normal and they can also be affected by fluctuations in weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do breast implants cost?
This varies on a patient to patient basis as every breast enlargement surgery is different, some women want a drastic change whereas others just want to see a small difference. Our pricing for breast implants starts at £4495.
Do breast implants last forever?
In short, no, breast implants do not last forever. In fact, they’re likely to need to be replaced anywhere between 10 – 20 years after they have been implanted and it’s simply the natural wear and tear that occurs over time that cause them to need to be removed or replaced after this period.
What type of breast implants are safe?
There are two kinds of breast implants that are considered safe and these are saline and silicone implants. The type of implant to be used is entirely dependent on your ideal goals, but both saline and silicone based implants are safe for augmentation or reconstruction.
How long does breast impant surgery take?
A breast enlargement surgery is usually considered as an outpatient procedure, meaning that it isn’t incredibly intensive and requires a long time in recovery. The actual surgery itself lasts between one to two hours and is carried out under general anaesthetic.
What's the difference between "over the muscle" and "under the muscle"?
Over and under the muscle are the two types of procedure that can be performed when having breast implants. Over the muscle refers to the breast implant being positioned in front of the breast muscle and sits just below the natural breast tissue. This is one of the best options for if you already have a large amount of breast tissue or are restoring fullness to deflated breasts. Under the muscle refers to the breast implant being positioned behind the breast muscle and therefore is further beneath the skin. This is more suitable for women with smaller amounts of breast tissue and provides very natural looking results. Your surgeon will discuss the best method to use to achieve the results you are looking for.
Will I have scars following my breast enlargement surgery?
Some form of scarring is definitely to be expected from the surgery, however these will fade over time and become much less noticeable. The location of the scars will depend entirely on the method used by the surgeon and can either be hidden in the crease below the breast, around the areola/nipple or in the armpit. The surgeon will discuss this with you before your surgery is booked in to ensure you understand all the risks and possibilities.
