Patients can typically have a breast augmentation mastopexy performed and go home the same day, with occasionally an overnight stay required.

The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic where the patient is put to sleep.

The incision most commonly is around the nipple, extends straight down to the breast crease and then runs in this crease running to both the inside and outside of the chest.

Occasionally, patients may have a tube inserted to drain away fluid after surgery. The wounds are dressed to ensure the nipples can be checked for blood supply.

After surgery, the patient is immediately placed into medical-grade compression bras to support the breasts.

Typically patients have had a child or children with breastfeeding (Late 20’s, early 30’s) or as they have got older noticed the droopiness (mid 40’s).

The volume in the breast is likely to be less than it used to be in a bra, and out of it, the breast looks hollower at the top of the breast, flatter down the main part of the breast and the nipple is nearer the bottom of the breast itself.

When clients come into the clinic, our UK trained plastic surgeon with expert knowledge makes a full assessment.

The surgeon establishes reasons sought for surgery and what the client hopes to achieve as an end result.  

As a part of the assessment process, the surgeon will establish the amount of available breast tissue & skin and the type of lift each individual patient would benefit from. For patients suffering from volume loss suitability for the implant is assessed.

Measurements are taken to provide a more specific approach to planning and surgery.

This helps us to provide a more scientific approach that can help the patients visualise the final effect.

It is important for the patient to be appropriately counselled to understand the whole process including surgery and recovery process after surgery.

Patients are given at least 2 weeks to make a considered decision and only once both patient and surgeons, are happy does the patient proceed to surgery.
