What does breast augmentation involve

Breast augmentation is most often achieved with breast implants, though fat transfer may be suitable in some cases depending on your anatomy and goals.

Patients choose this procedure to restore fullness after pregnancy or weight loss, improve proportion, correct asymmetry, or achieve a shape that feels more in harmony with their body.

Our experienced surgeons assess your proportions, skin quality, and long-term aims to create a result that looks natural and balanced.

Breast augmentation is only recommended once the breasts are fully developed and after a thorough consultation to ensure it is the right choice for you.

For many patients, this procedure is as much about confidence and comfort as it is about appearance.

Here are some classic types of incisions made when performing a Breast Reduction.

Who is a suitable candidate for breast enlargement?

Breast augmentation is suitable for adults in good overall health who want to enhance the size, shape, or balance of their breasts.

You may be a good candidate if your breasts are fully developed, your weight is stable, and you are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. It’s also important to have realistic expectations about what surgery can achieve.

Patients must be over 18 to undergo breast augmentation. For silicone implants, surgeons typically recommend waiting until at least 22.

During your consultation at Linia Cosmetic Surgery on Harley Street, your surgeon will carefully assess your health, anatomy, and goals to confirm whether this procedure is right for you and to plan the safest, most appropriate approach.

Will my consultation be with a surgeon?

Yes. Your consultation will always be with an experienced Linia Cosmetic Surgery surgeon on Harley Street.

We believe that only a qualified surgeon can properly assess your anatomy, understand your goals, and advise on the most appropriate approach to achieve a natural, balanced result.

During your consultation, your surgeon will talk through the procedure, expected outcomes, recovery, and aftercare in detail, ensuring you feel fully informed, comfortable, and confident before making any decision.

What will happen after the breast enlargement surgery?

After your procedure, you will rest in our recovery suite before returning home the same day. Your surgeon will provide clear aftercare guidance to support smooth healing and minimise swelling and scarring.

During the first week, you will need to wear a supportive surgical bra continuously and avoid driving, exercise, lifting, or immersing your breasts in water.

Bruising and swelling are normal in the early stages and typically begin to settle during the second week. As sensation returns, some tingling or mild discomfort can occur, which is part of the healing process. If you experience any significant pain or concerns, our team is always available to support you.

Linia Cosmetic Surgery provides comprehensive postoperative care and follow-up for up to three years after your surgery.

How Is Breast Augmentation Performed?

Breast augmentation involves the careful placement of implants, or in some cases fat transfer, to enhance the size, shape, and balance of the breasts.

Your surgeon will position the implant either beneath the chest muscle or behind the natural breast tissue, depending on your anatomy and the result you want to achieve. Implants may be round or anatomical in shape and are made from soft silicone shells filled with either saline or silicone gel.

The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic in a specialist surgical facility, and most patients return home the same day.

A small incision is made in one of three discreet locations: beneath the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit. Through this incision, a pocket is created to place the implant precisely and securely. The incisions are then carefully closed to support neat healing and minimal scarring.

Breast augmentation focuses on enhancing volume and shape. If sagging is a concern, your surgeon may discuss whether a breast lift would be more appropriate, or whether the two procedures should be combined.

Your exact surgical plan is always tailored to you and discussed in detail during your consultation on Harley Street.

What is the cost of breast enlargement surgery?

The cost of breast augmentation varies depending on your anatomy, the type and size of implant chosen, and whether an overnight stay is recommended.

Following your consultation with a Linia Cosmetic Surgery surgeon on Harley Street, you will receive a clear, fixed price tailored to your surgical plan.

Your package includes all hospital fees, surgeon and anaesthetist costs, follow-up appointments, and comprehensive aftercare.

Flexible finance options are also available should you wish to spread the cost of your procedure.
