Breast Enlargement

Breast enlargement surgery is a procedure to increase the size and shape of the breasts. Restoring the balance between your breast and hips makes the hips look smaller and creates a more proportioned figure. The size and selection of implants is something which you will discuss with your surgeon in detail at consultation. Visible results can be seen immediately. However it can take between two and four months to appreciate the final result. Wearing a support bra helps during the recovery period. There will be scars about 4-5cm in the creases below the breast where the implants have been inserted. These will fade over time as the wounds heal, usually by 3 months. The scars continue to improve and are just visible at six months.

The breast enlargement procedure is actually a very simple one, usually performed under anaesthetic, a small incision is made under the breast and a pocket is made under the breast tissue or chest muscle where the implant will be placed. There will be small and discrete scars about 4-5cm in the creases below the breast where the implants have been inserted. These will fade over time as the wounds heal, usually by 3 months.

After your breast augmentation procedure you will not be able to drive for 2 weeks and should rest shoulder and chest area for this time, lying in any comfortable position other than on your front. Strenuous exercise and lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks and a support bra or top (nothing under-wired for the first 2 months) must be worn day and night for this time. Alcohol and aspirin should be avoided for the first 3 weeks following the procedure and you should not use sunbeds or expose your breasts to direct sunlight 2 months following surgery. Any bruising usually lasts only 10-14 days but swelling may last for up-to 6 weeks and any handling of the breast must be very gentle.
