    What does breast augmentation involve

    Breast enlargement, commonly referred to as augmentation mammoplasty or a “boob job,” is a cosmetic surgery procedure chosen by individuals to enhance the size of their breasts or to achieve a more balanced appearance.

    This operation can be carried out in one of two ways: either by transferring fat from another part of the body to the breasts or, more frequently, by surgically placing breast implants.

    The people who opt for this procedure often include those who simply wish to increase their breast size or those whose breasts have lost fullness for various reasons. These reasons might include weight loss—sometimes following surgical weight-loss treatments—pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

    Additionally, some individuals seek this surgery to harmonise their body proportions. For instance, someone with smaller breasts and broader hips might choose to enlarge their breasts to create a more proportional silhouette. Others may include those with unevenly sized breasts who aim to achieve symmetry through augmentation, as well as individuals whose breasts haven’t developed as they had hoped.

    It’s worth noting that this surgery is only suitable for those whose breasts have fully developed, ensuring the body is ready for such a change. The decision to undergo breast augmentation is highly personal, often driven by a desire for improved confidence or a sense of alignment with one’s physical identity.

    Who Qualifies as an Ideal Candidate for Breast Enlargement?

    Thinking about breast augmentation in London? Below is a guide to the characteristics of a suitable candidate:

    • Robust Physical Wellbeing: You need to be in sound overall health, free from any medical issues that might hinder recovery.
    • Practical Outlook: Having a clear grasp of what the surgery can achieve and setting achievable expectations is essential.
    • Mature Breast Development: This procedure is ideal for individuals whose breasts have fully formed or who have noticed a reduction in volume over time.
    • Aged 18 or Older: The minimum age is 18, though if you’re considering silicone implants, you’ll typically need to be at least 22.
    • Consistent Body Weight: Major fluctuations in weight can alter the outcome, so maintaining a steady weight is advised.
    • Not Currently Pregnant or Nursing: For optimal and lasting results, it’s recommended to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding are complete.

    If these points resonate with you, breast enlargement in London might be a perfect fit. Reach out to Linia Cosmetic Surgery today to discover more details and schedule your consultation.

    How Does Breast Enlargement Surgery Function?

    Breast enlargement surgery involves the surgical placement of either implants or fat harvested from your own body behind each breast. These implants are positioned either beneath the chest muscles or behind the natural breast tissue, effectively increasing your breast size by at least one cup or more.

    You have the option to select either contoured or round implants, depending on your preference. The materials used in these implants not only enhance breast volume but also help sculpt areas that might have previously appeared less full or lacked definition.

    It’s important to note that breast enlargement differs from a breast lift. While augmentation focuses on size and shape, a lift addresses drooping or sagging breasts.

    The implants themselves are typically soft, pliable silicone shells filled with either saline (a sterile saltwater solution) or silicone gel. Despite past debates about the safety of silicone implants, they remain a highly sought-after choice for those undergoing breast augmentation.

    What Happens During a Breast Augmentation Procedure?

    If you decide to proceed with breast enlargement surgery, it will likely take place in an outpatient clinic or a comparable medical facility, allowing most patients to return home on the same day.

    The operation is usually carried out under general anaesthesia, ensuring you experience no discomfort during the process. Be sure to adhere to your surgeon’s guidance on how to prepare in the 24 hours leading up to your surgery.

    To insert the implants, your surgeon will make one of three incision types:

    • Inframammary: Located under the breast.
    • Axillary: Positioned in the armpit area.
    • Periareolar: Made within the tissue around the nipple.

    Next, your surgeon will form a pocket by carefully separating your breast tissue from the underlying chest muscles. The implants are then inserted into these pockets and precisely aligned within your breasts.

    For saline implants, the surgeon will fill the empty shells with sterile saline solution after placement. Silicone implants, on the other hand, come pre-filled by the manufacturer.

    Once the implants are securely in position, the incisions are stitched closed and reinforced with surgical tape and glue for added protection. After the procedure, you’ll be observed in a recovery area until the effects of the anaesthesia diminish sufficiently, at which point you’ll be free to head home.

    Will my consultation be with a surgeon?

    All consultations pre surgery take place with a specialised surgeon who has years of experience and training. We believe that only a surgeon can help and advise you on the best procedure to achieve the results you would desire.

    During your initial consultation, an expert surgeon at LINIA will discuss the results you are looking for and explain the procedure so that you understand every stage of the process as well as the aftercare. The most important outcome from the consultation is that you feel completely at ease in our care, and you are fully aware of the procedure and the resulting enhancement.

    What will happen after the breast enlargement surgery?

    Once your procedure is complete, we will give you all the time you need to rest and recuperate in our recovery suite. Your consultant will also provide you with the after-care information you need so your breasts to heal both naturally and efficiently. This will help to avoid any complications and should also help to minimise any scarring from your breast implants.

    The first week is the most restrictive and you will be required to observe the following:

    • A support bra must be worn constantly
    • No exercise, driving or lifting
    • Breasts must not be immersed in water for the first week post-surgery

    Bruising and swelling is completely normal, and you should start to notice this reducing during week two following your surgery. As your body starts to heal, it is normal to start to feel tingling and burning sensations in your breasts but do contact us if you feel any intense pain at any time.

    LINIA guarantees postoperative cover for up to three years post-surgery.

    What is the cost of breast enlargement surgery?
