Welcome to Breast Enlargements
Breast enlargement (also known as breast augmentation or breast implants) is one of the most well known forms of cosmetic surgery and is often considered synonymous with the term. It is no longer a procedure that can simply be attributed to Hollywood celebrities and the well off - recent studies show that the procedure is in fact that it is becoming increasingly popular here in the UK. This site is here to detail all that you need to know about breast augmentation surgery in the UK along with the surgeons who are qualified to carry it out.
Breast enlargement involves increasing the size and shape of a woman’s breasts through a surgical procedure. The popularity can be attributed to small breasts being an area of concern for some women, whose breasts can change in size and shape throughout life, perhaps after childbirth, weight loss or perhaps it is simply due to aging. The surgery can have the ability to restore confidence in yourself and your body as breast augmentation has the power to change the look of your whole body as well as just your chest.
The procedure will be carried out by a specialist cosmetic breast surgeon who can also talk through with you the options available to you. They will also be able to recommend with their professional opinion, example what type of procedure would benefit you the most. As a result it is always advisable to make sure you do your research and find a cosmetic surgeon who has all of the right qualifications and experience and who is right for you.
Whatever your reasons for undergoing surgery, whether they are cosmetic or medical/reconstructive purposes, you should be sure that the final result can be the best it can be. You can never eliminate the risk of complications after any type of cosmetic surgery but you can certainly take steps to ensure you minimise those risks.
About the different cosmetic breast surgery procedures
Breast Enlargement: Many women who desire to have fuller breasts opt for breast augmentation surgery. This procedure uses breast implants usually made of silicon to increase the size of the breasts. A series of pre-surgery consultations with a plastic or cosmetic surgeon can provide patients with details on the size and type of implant, cost of breast implants, length of procedures, and risks. Often, computer generated images are used to project post-surgery looks. Breast implants are usually made of silicone gel with both textured shells and smooth shells. The outer shell is often made of silicone elastomer so that the implant is flexible like a normal breast. Often, double outer shells are used to prevent tears and leakage.
Breast Reduction: For weight loss or relief of shoulder and back stress, many women pursue reductions in breast size. Often tissue removed from the breast can be used to lift the breasts and make them appear tighter and more toned. Men can also have breast reduction with excess fat / tissue in the chest region removed with a cosmetic surgery procedure.
Breast Uplift (Mastopexy) : A breast uplift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves removing loose skin that causes sagging of the breast tissue (usually due to weight loss or pregnancy). This breast surgery procedure does increase or reduce the overall volume of each breast unless it is combined with breast implants.
Nipple Reduction: Nipple Reduction is often done for women who are self-conscious about the size of their areola, the dark shadings around the nipple. A large areola might seem out of proportion.
Inverted Nipple Surgery: For emotional and function reasons, many women may seek inverted nipple correction to make the nipple point outward. Women in need of this surgery often have slits in the nipple area or a depression. This surgery is typically an outpatient procedure and only requires local anesthesia.
