Breast augmentation/enlargement surgery requires an incision to be made in the breast so that a surgical grade implant can be inserted behind or in front of the chest muscle, underneath the natural tissue. When the implant is in position, the incision will be closed with stitches, and depending on the patient’s individual circumstances, these may dissolve or may need removing at your first pre-operative appointment in clinic.

The procedure requires going under general anaesthesia and is expected to take between approximately 60 minutes, depending on the extent of surgery required.

When the day of your surgery arrives you will be greeted at the hospital by our staff and shown to your comfortable and spacious room. They’ll be a quick check-up to make sure you’re feeling well and healthy enough for the operation and then you’ll be taken to theatre for the surgery.

The operation, which will take two hours, will then begin and the implants you have selected will be placed either behind or infront of the breast muscle.

A nurse will perform a series of checks on your health prior to your surgery, so we request that you come in for an appointment. Here you will be checked for MRSA as well as possibly undertaking a urine or blood test. We just want to make sure there are no complications further down the line and calm any nerves or anxieties you might have!

Your surgeon will also check your chest and take photos so that we have a medical record before the changes occur. Please use this opportunity to ask any questions or raise any concerns and our amazing team will be happy to help.

After this surgery, you will be able to go home on the same day however you will be required to wear a sports bra for several weeks to help your breasts settle. We will also arrange for you to come in for further appointments after one week, two weeks and six weeks. This way we can manage your progress and also give you the support so you don’t feel alone and anxious about any complications.

Please bear in mind that everyone recovers at their own rate, but avoid your normal activities for at least 2 weeks.

Our aftercare programme put you at the centre and our staff are committed to helping you at every stage of your recovery. We’ll be in contact with a 24/7 support line to connect you to our industry-leading nurses and make sure you are completely happy with your surgery.

Yes – a rhinoplasty isn’t just a cosmetic procedure. Specific surgical techniques during the procedure can improve breathing issues.

Patients typically need between one and two weeks off work to recover from a rhinoplasty. It might be several months before the full effect of the operation can be visible, and up to six months for the swelling to completely go down.

It can take six to eight weeks for the area to fully heal enough for sexual intercourse, but you should be able to return to an active lifestyle within two to four weeks.

All surgeries come with some degree of risk. Some of the possible complications of a labiaplasty include bleeding, infection, scarring, reduced sensitivity.

Fortunately, labiaplasty risks are small and complications are rare. Your surgeon will talk to you about the risks and benefits in detail at your consultation and pre operation appointments.
