Breast Enlargement

Breast enhancement is the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery in the UK.

What is Breast Enlargement?

Breast enlargement surgery is a popular plastic surgery procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts.

Breast Enlargement at ASET Hospital

At ASET Hospital, we offer advanced breast enlargement techniques tailored to meet each patient’s unique goals and expectations.

Our experienced surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities ensure that you receive the highest standard of care.

Breast enlargement surgery involves the placement of implants and/or fat to increase breast size, improve shape, and restore volume lost due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. This procedure can also help achieve better symmetry for women with uneven breasts.

The implants used can be made of silicone or saline, each offering different benefits and aesthetic outcomes.

Consultation and Assessment

The journey to achieving your desired breast size and shape begins with a comprehensive consultation at ASET Hospital. During this initial appointment, our expert surgeons will:

  • Discuss your goals and expectations
  • Review your medical history and any previous surgeries
  • Conduct a physical examination to assess your breast tissue, skin elasticity, and body frame

Based on this assessment, our surgeons will recommend the most suitable type and size of implants, as well as the optimal placement technique to achieve natural-looking results.

Treatment Options

We offer a variety of options for breast enlargement surgery, allowing us to customize the procedure to your specific needs. You would have the opportunity to choose the type of surgery and its minute details e.g. implant vs fat or hybrid, different types of implants, positions and incisions.  The pros and cons of each option would be discussed.

The Procedure

Breast enlargement surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia and takes about 1 to 2 hours. During the procedure:

  • The chosen incision is made
  • A pocket is created for the implant
  • The implant is inserted and positioned
  • The incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings are applied

Postoperative Care and Recovery

Recovery from breast enlargement surgery involves several important steps to ensure proper healing and optimal results:

Immediate Postoperative Care

After the surgery, you will be monitored in our recovery area. You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are normal and will gradually subside.

Recovery Process

Patients are advised to rest and avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks. A special support bra may be recommended to minimize swelling and support the breasts as they heal.

Follow-Up Visits

Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your recovery and ensure the implants are settling correctly.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, breast enlargement surgery carries potential risks, including infection, implant leakage or rupture, changes in nipple sensation, and capsular contracture.

Our surgeons at ASET Hospital take every precaution to minimize these risks and provide detailed postoperative instructions to support your recovery.
