Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation surgery is often the combination of a mastopexy and implants to enhance the shape and size of the breast.

What Is A Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation surgery aims to increase the size of the breast and to achieve a fuller-looking appearance, it’s often combined with other breast enhancement surgeries such as a breast uplift. Whilst the majority of breast augmentation cases are for aesthetic reasons, you can also benefit from having the procedure performed for reconstructing the breast following an accident or illness.

What To Expect With A Breast Augmentation Consultation?

At UK Aesthetics, we want every consultation to be as open and honest as possible. This is so we can determine the best options available to achieve the desired results of your breast augmentation in Manchester. During this informal discussion, we’ll go through your surgery expectations and medical history, and you’re also welcome to ask questions about any concerns you may have regarding your breast enlargement.

How Should I Prepare For Breast Augmentation In Manchester?

It’s important to be aware that your breast augmentation surgery will be performed under a general anaesthetic. It is essential that if you’ve recently been unwell or have any health issues, that you speak to your surgeon. If you have, we can then arrange a different day for your breast augmentation where you’ll be safer and the surgery can run smoothly.

It’s also important that you pay attention to the advice given to you before breast augmentation surgery as it’ll help to ensure your safety during the surgery, and this includes:

  • Avoid smoking six weeks prior to the breast enlargement so your vessels aren’t prone to blood clotting and your recovery time is easier.
  • Not taking aspirin will make sure that it does not interfere with the effectiveness of the anaesthetic.
  • Avoiding herbal supplements or anti-inflammatory drugs can ensure the anaesthetic can work to the best of its ability and your body can work better in naturally recovering.

To avoid complications after your breast enhancement surgery and allow a safe return home, it’s advised to arrange a family member or friend to collect and support you from the hospital and also allow yourself 2 to 3 weeks off work to completely rest and fully recover.

What Happens During Surgery?

When it comes to Breast augmentation surgery. Clinics will typically last around 1 – 2 hours. During your procedure, the surgeon will be required to make an incision in either the crease under the breast, the nipple, or under the arm towards the side of your breast as this will allow them to increase the volume of your breasts as expected.

If you’re combining the breast augmentation with a breast uplift, then the incision will be more suitable to be around the nipple so it can be easily repositioned after if needed. Alternatively, the surgeon may choose to reposition the skin and cut away any excess to create a more visibly pleasing, perkier breast.

Once the incision is made, your breast tissue is separated from the muscles to form a pocket that will allow a silicone implant or saline implants to be inserted and centred. The breast is then closed with stitches and sealed with surgical tape to secure the stitches and support them throughout the recovery process.

Aftercare Following Your Breast Augmentation Manchester

After the breast augmentation surgery, you’re expected to feel some pain and discomfort, but we can provide you with painkillers that will help to reduce the pain and make you feel more comfortable. Wearing a support bra both day and night for the first 4 weeks can also help to support you and aid your recovery.

These further steps are also recommended:

  • To reduce discomfort and enable smooth recovery after breast enhancement surgery, avoid any strenuous activity, exercise or heavy lifting.
  • Keep the wounds dry and wear loose clothing so they’re given plenty of space to heal.
  • Increase the chances of a simple recovery by avoiding driving to prevent complications from occurring.

So we can check the progress of your healing process and ensure it’s going well, we will arrange an appointment with you around a week after your breast enlargement to visit us at the dressing clinic so we’re able to see how you’re feeling. These further steps are also recommended:

Risks and Complications Of Breast Augmentation

The majority of patients that have breast augmentation surgery are really pleased with their results, but it’s important to note that there can be some side effects that may be uncomfortable, including:

  • Bruising
  • Swelling
  • Pain
  • Extrusion (where stitches poke out through the skin)

Rarer complications of breast augmentation surgery include:

  • Infection
  • Damage to deeper structures
  • Change in sensation
  • Seroma
  • Change in shape over time
  • Asymmetry

Though you’ve had breast enhancement surgery, your breast tissue will continue to age over time so further operations may be required to maintain satisfactory results and ensure you keep the results that you want.

Your breast augmentation surgeon will always try to keep scarring as minimal as possible. The scars that are formed can take months to heal and fade after your breast augmentation surgery and will appear red or purple at first, but this is completely normal. Massage them once healed in order to ensure the best aesthetic appearance of your scars in the long term.
