Q: Where do the implants go - "under" or "over" the muscle?

At your consultation and in discussion with you, your surgeon will choose the positioning of the implant, depending on  your physical characteristics.

Q: What procedures use breast implants?

An implant is used to add volume to the breast.  Implants will always be used in a breast enlargement and if desired may also be used within a breast uplift

 

Q: Why is cohesive gel best?

cut cohesive gel implant - gummy bear implantSilicone gel is a viscous, cohesive gel material, which results in a breast implant that is soft to the touch, but can still maintain its general shape in the body.  The word "cohesive" literally means that the particles tend to stick together. This image shows just how cohesive the gel is if it were cut.  That's why some surgeons in the USA describe cohesive gel implants as "gummy bear" implants

Cosmetic Breast Surgery

How do I know if breast surgery is right for me?


Your surgeon will to tell you which form of breast surgery is most suitable for you and will help you understand the risks. Only you can decide whether the operation is right for you. Your surgeon will help you achieve your aim. Although no surgeon can give a guarantee, cosmetic surgery should not be scheduled unless there is a good chance you will be pleased with the result. The final decision remains one that only you can make.

 

Breast Enlargement - if you have small breasts they may not appear in proportion with your size or offer the fashion options that enhance your figure.  Even if you are happy with your size and shape, it's hard to keep the same figure through the years.  Breast implants can help create the ideal size, shape and feel for a more confident, feminine you

 

Breast Uplift- many women seek this procedure after pregnancy, breast-feeding, weight loss or simply the ageing process, where the breasts sag and lose volume.  A mastopexy is a common choice to create a more youthful profile.  It can be combined with implants where more volume is also required.

 

Breast Reduction large breasts can cause significant discomfort as well as self-consciousness for some woment.  A breast reduction can provide a better proportioned bust which can relieve back-pain/shoulder-pain and create a shape you are happier with.
