Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation procedures, or "boob jobs" as they are more commonly known, are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures available. The enhancement of physical appearance can have immeasurable psychological benefits for a woman in terms of confidence and self-esteem.
These procedures help women achieve a "curvier" form. They are popular with women who are naturally small busted or those that have noticed a change in their bust size due to weight loss, breastfeeding or the natural ageing process.
Modern breast implants are available in a variety of types and sizes. A consultation with one of our expert surgeons can help you decide which implant will help you achieve the look you are after.
Breast augmentation or breast enlargement surgery involves inserting implants behind the breast. Breast implants are made of elastic silicone and are usually filled with silicone gel, salt water or soya bean oil.
By inserting a breast implant behind each natural breast, plastic surgeons are able to increase a woman's bust line by one or more bra cup sizes. The general life expectancy of breast implants is 10 years, though some implants can stay in much longer without problems.
The insertion of implants for breast augmentation is also sometimes combined with breast lift operations, which reshape the breast following a loss of suppleness and firmness with age.
Breast augmentation procedures are sought at the London Medical & Aesthetic Clinic for a number of reasons; to enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small, to correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy, to balance a difference in breast size or as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery.
The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way their breasts look. If you are physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery. Breast augmentation surgery can have a positive effect on a person's self-image when performed for the right reasons.
Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence but a breast augmentation will not necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have breast augmentation surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with our surgeons.
